On the one hand, Rogan’s output is goofy bro shit. It’s the “reasoned debate” equivalent of watching a bunch of 50-y-os with degenerative arthritis take over an NBA game and try to play four quarters.

Yeah, this article sucks. “Inside” was excellent. This take on it is...pretty shit.

The author seems to think that the cross projected onto him is meant to be taken literally, as if it wasn’t satire meant to examine the melodramatic apologies that follow a celebrity being “canceled.” And this coming from a blog that started as a supplement to The Onion...

That said, I’m glad this post exists so I can…

I mean, honestly, it’s mostly just random. I wouldn’t chalk it up to sexism as much as the writers here having no actual principles and just being tasked with coming up with some lightning rod ‘take’ about everything. This is just where they ended up on these two topics. If a Twitter thread went viral a week ago about…

I thought the joke was also that this genuine sentiment is also a recognizable IG trope and deeply out of place in the context

I can’t believe I waited a full week for a full avclub take on that special and this is what we got. Inside dealt with so many different themes, personal struggles, and existential questions - it feels weird to use “Problematic,” a song that felt mostly tongue-in-cheek, as a benchmark for the whole show. I mean,…

I remember reading a tweet-thread years ago arguing that art that requires a non-literal interpretation is inherently elitist and problematic, even racist often. I remember thinking at the time time how silly and fringe that person sounded, and now I just laugh…

Yeah, I haven’t seen the special and I’m not a fan of Burnham, but, uh, literally invoking martyr imagery while ‘owning up’ to past mistakes feels very tongue in cheek, but nuance is not this site’s strong suit in 2021 where the median IQ of most of the staff seems to be 79.

I haven’t seen it but that’s the feeling I was getting even from the description.

Have you seen how this site and its sisters have dragged Ellie Kemper through the mud for being a well off white woman who grew up in Missouri and did wealthy white woman in Missouri things?

Not being problematic enough, then?

Be warned, Inside is very good but only tenuously a “comedy” special. It’s more of a depressing arthouse film about living during a pandemic lockdown.

I’ve been anxiously awaiting an AV Club review of Inside, and this is all that’s posted about it? A superficial take on a single, relatively minor song, that doesn’t seem to fully understand the broader themes of the special or this song’s place within it?

This has already been said many times by people far more eloquent than me, but fuck you Barsanti, fuck you Tatiana, and fuck you to the AV Club for doubling down on this completely manufactured excuse for a “controversy.”

I mean, I only had a small part in all that, but man that was a fun time.

This did it. This was the one. I am submitting my resignation from Twitter and kinja.

“Yes, because that doesn’t happen at countless other events (e.g. proms, homecomings, parades, quinceañeras) for teen girls and women of every fucking ethnic group.”

I’m here for the baseless speculation by people with intense parasocial relationships.

Don’t be surprised if valve has something big up their sleeve with CS. They invested a lot of money in developing the index controllers and it wouldn’t surprise me if they were working on a brand new VR engine.  I could very easily see a new CS game used as something to showcase and drive those hardware sales.  If…
