I’m really on the fence for Disney’s part here. Yeah, they kind of dug themselves into a hole here, but it was a hole largely dug because they leaped before they looked.

An hour on Google. Not even an hour would have been more than enough time to investigate this campaign, investigate the people at the center of it,…

Even now, they still have Johnny Depp on contract, even after enough has surfaced that, yeah, odds are better than not he beat his wife.

Even more directly on this one - he interviews Richard Spencer in this documentary.

Richard Spencer. The man who, prior to being the recipient of the punch seen round the world, had his claim to fame in straight-up heiling Donald Trump in a supportive manner.

The lack of self-awareness one has to have to pull a move…

V I’ll grant you, but I’m gonna pump the brakes on Rorschach, just as I’m sure Moore would.
Rorschach isn’t entirely off the mark, but he, just as much as anyone else in the story, isn’t meant to be seen as right, either.
One of the big differences between Rorschach and V is that V can actually own up to the…

Purist factor aside (guilty as I am of it) the biggest issue I had with the music was the fact that Burton’s decision to cut out the company basically renders God, That’s Good a half a song.

HBC and the kid playing Toby make a game effort, and I’ll give them that, but the fact is, replacing the chorus with just…

I’m waiting for the day one of the right wing figures revealed to be on their payroll comes out with that.
Cause it’s a pretty safe bet they’ve all had this internal debate and come to this conclusion, it’s just a matter of which one gets pushed to finally say it out loud.

Not for nothing, Loesch’s biography feels like a real life black comedy in the making.
Just as Trump’s life is basically a nightmare funhouse mirror version of American exceptionalism, Loesch is basically like a real life darkly comic riff on our love of celebrity. Reading up on her bio is fascinating in a sick, sad…

Much as I love Star Wars, I feel like this is one field where Star Trek’s fans have a distinct edge.

In both cases, the main creators are people who had a kernel of a good idea and a lot of ideas that, to be perfectly frank, weren’t that good. The good ideas they did have were then bolstered by good ideas offered up by…

I’m still not entirely unconvinced at least a portion of the more aged in the current administration aren’t running under the idea of “I just realized I will die soon and you will outlive me - and so I will make it my mission to punish you for that by turning your world into a hellscape.”

Don’t kid yourself, if we’re living any Arnie movie it’s The Running Man.

Corollary to this - how this entire culture began to use the phrase ‘pick yourself up by your bootstraps’ in earnest, completely oblivious to the fact the phrase was coined for the fact it’s inherently not possible/plausible to achieve.

It’s basically been Mitch McConnell’s go to for the past decade now. Victory for the GOP or desolation for all.

Because he’ll be damned if he’s gonna let a [slur redacted] president get the credit for making this country get better. And if his stubbornness and negligence means it gets worse - even better! Then he and…

Thank God, I wasn’t the only one thinking of that one.

“Remember - never take more than you can handle and always know your dealer!”
*Tom Kenny screams incoherently in the background*

To append on my earlier statement - now, in the wake of Gunn’s firing, they are attempting to do similar dirt-digging expeditions on Patton Oswalt and Michael Ian Black are now underway.

I’ll say it again - CONTEXT. MATTERS.

See, this is where I’m gonna disagree with you. Yes, the jokes are offensive, but I can’t pretend the bad faith presented by Cernovich isn’t a factor here.

These things have been there for over a decade. People have known Gunn had a history for crass humor in his past, as he’s owned up to and apologized for on many…

‘Whatever job he has’ - He’s part of the alt-right wheelhouse of vomiting ideological bile onto YouTube and selling ‘manliness’ nonsense to gullible simps.

Sadly, their very self-employed nature means so long as their followers keep giving them money, they’re not in any danger.

It’s not that illogical when one considers the nature and actions of the people in question makes it crystal clear they aren’t actually offended by what Gunn said.
The whole argument is presented in bad faith, and it doesn’t take much research to see it.
There’s a reason MSNBC walked back their canning Sam Seder when…

You missed the step to put 5 in perspective:

4.5) He made tweets criticizing Daddy Donald - a cardinal sin in the eyes of the new internet right wing.

Cause let’s face it - that’s the real reason Cernovich sent his team digging for dirt here. It’s not cause the man who wrote ‘When In Doubt, Whip It Out’ gives a shit…

Particularly when:

There’s one problem with the ‘Obama started it’ line with regards to Trump’s behavior - he’s made it abundantly clear he’ll happily steamroll through something Obama started if he wants to.
