Hell I have a sexy instagram and I get DM’s full of hate and dick pics, it’s ridiculous. My twitter is a bit tamer.

Never mind how rich that statement is coming from Jezebel whose staffers regularly block people for that very thing.

Nowadays it’s a badge of douchebag honor to be blocked and share the images. Some people intentionally attempt to get blocked for the attention a block message screen shot earns them. (Which is why as a rule I never trust block screen shot posters, they’re usually shady losers always waiting for their online “gotcha”…

Actually, they can’t. Because she blocked them. :D

What you are saying has nothing to do with whether or not she can block people yelling at her on Twitter. Which, happily, she can.

And blocking was better PR-wise in this case than muting becaaaaauuuuse..…?

Blocking is considered a bit extreme for people who simply disagree with you.

Seriously. Metzger was on @Midnight in the past week. Let’s shit on Chris Hardwick while we’re at it.

I do this here. I’m not going to let a string of “U DUMB BITCH” type comments accumulate under my posts. I dismiss most of them, maybe leave a few that get really creative bc I can appreciate a good takedown (maybe). But I am under no obligation to not dismiss repetitive vitriol.

This. While the complaints regarding Metzger are valid and I’m glad to see he’s facing repercussions for his statements, it is absolutely bullshit that there’s an expectation that people respond to the Internet Mob in real time. Presumably Schumer just fired someone she has (at least in the past) considered a personal…

Making this about Schumer definitely falls into the “eating our own” problem a lot of internet feminism can have. So much energy goes into policing the mostly good who are not perfect, versus focusing on garbage like Metzger.

Saw this pop up on Twitter last night, and that was my first thought: why is this Amy Schumer’s problem, exactly? Dude is clearly a dick, most charitably maybe just enjoys going for shock value, which sounds totally par for a douchey comedy writer. Is she expected to closely follow the career of anyone she’s ever…

Yes! Why do people feel soo entitled to her space? She’s fired the guy and called him out as an ass. There’s nothing left for her to say to you... I'd block you too!

I agree with this. I think it’s easy to feel like she is betraying us *as a woman* but she is also not responsible for what he says.

Yeah, anybody can block anybody on Twitter. If the first I hear of you as a person is you up in my @s yelling at me about something (at the same time that THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO YELLING AT ME IN MY @S) I would feel no compunction blocking you, and fuck anyone who tells me I am obligated to patiently let…

Two black guys made out okay so that means racism isn’t real?

People don’t decide what music is popular. The record labels and Clear Channel do.

Until African Americans, not to mention people from all over the non-western world, start making more money and getting signed over white, American singers, it’s not comparable.

Its a shame too bc she doesn’t have the “traditional” look of a pop star and she does write her own songs and for others too, I just can’t with her music, it’s catchy my niece loves it but it’s just like.... NO. She's problematic on so many levels and has said some really dumb shit in interviews, she was a big let…

I just want white people to love us as much as they love to rebrand our shit.
