If we define trolling as "Saying appalling things" then yes. The real problem is these people often engage in doxxing, revealing their victims' personal information. That has real-world consequences, and should not be tolerated.

I can believe it started that way in the beginning, but it didn't take long for people to co-opt them into an excuse for not wanting to engage with things that offended them for any reason.

This. I've been a South Park partisan for literally half my life (15 when I discovered it, 30 now), but I acknowledge that for a while there they were resting on their laurels. Most everything since "Cartoon Wars" has been amusing, but not really important the way they used to be. Now, though…I look forward to where

Looks like Season 20 is going to be as good as Season 19. There's really not a position taken in this episode I don't agree with. I just want to see where it's all going.

BEST. CASE. SCENARIO.

That opening was so unbelievably amazing, I risked restarting the ads on AMC.com to watch it again. I know there's no possible way Jackie Earle Haley will get an Emmy nom, let alone win, but I think he deserves one for that scene and the way he then effortlessly shifts gears into Food Courts and Human Shields. I

I was smiling just as hard as I could in the opening sequence, and I gasped aloud and covered my mouth in horror at the end. Not a lot of series' can brag having accomplished that in less than 45 minutes. And they've managed to turn Jesse into the classic "Difficult Man" of 2000's and 2010's television while still

…Let's just say I doubt he's Satan's sex slave. Not that Satan wouldn't be down with that, but…keep watching.

Nope. I didn't think it was possible for me to smile that hard.

…Just keep watching. I think it'll blow your freakin' mind.

And you know what's the funny thing? That is the one story in Preacher I won't read again. I can take everything with The Saint, and the much-worse comic Quincannon's…tastes, if you will. But "Eugene"'s story? Too painful, and too real.

At one point you see him listening to the sounds of the slaughterhouse. I think that was at least a nod to his Tastes, though it's possible they couldn't show the whole thing outside of HBO…

I'm curious as to what people who haven't read the comic think of all of this. For my part, I who own the entire series…the intro with "The Cowboy" (Or, as I know him, The Saint) brought chills and a single tear. So I'm quite pleased.

He has a whole miniseries, and it's one of the best comic stories of the past 25 years. You can pick up the trade paperback without having to know anything else about the series.

Yeah, which, to be fair, was not uncommon in the 90's.

Yeah, I've never gotten the impression that Ennis hates gays. I've gotten the impression that he thinks sodomy is really, really funny. And we all have our things, y'know.

If you want a spoiler, look down. If not, just keep scrolling.

"High Fantasy Elmore Leonard"

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of people describe him that way. That's not what I think of when I think of Neil Gaiman. What I remember is the man-eating vagina and the dude that came blood for a Goddess. "Metal" is a better descriptor for Neil than "Twee", in my opinion.

I love American Gods passionately, but Anansi Boys is one of the only books I've read three times, and I'm not done, either. So yeah, I can agree with this. I think the two of those and Sandman are Neil's masterpieces, but there's much more where that came from.
