I work at a university at a graduate school. They know who OJ Simpson and that he killed his wife. But her name? Not as often as you think considering a show just came out not that long ago. OJ stayed in the pop cultures mind but not her. It’s pretty common for victims to be forgotten and sidelined in the narrative.

The joke wasn’t funny. And I know everyone is gonna respond with “hUmOr Is SuBjEcTive” and yeah it is. But the average person in the world doesn’t know the film G.I. Jane or who Nicole Brown Simpson is. Chris Rock’s jokes are bad because they are old man jokes of a person becoming irrelevant.

Yeah. I feel like they could have gone the way Hamilton did where the cast as individuals (as themselves) came together at the end did something if they wanted to speak out. But any commentary on her loss in the context of the show should have been done from a comedy standpoint. You can make a joke about a tragedy if…

I don’t think he is abusing anyone or even that it’s a power differential. Just....kinda gross? And I am not one to harp on age differences because I dated someone 20 years older than me when I was 23 but if my ex had had the same dating history as Leo I would not have dated him. It just comes across as creepy whether…

I don’t care I don’t like it and I will judge.

I think this is fair. It’s one thing to want people to be given a second chance but having a public platform and trying to get fans to rally around your atonement is grotesque. I can’t imagine how FKA Twigs feels about it but it must be awful.

Americans are wild. Like they won’t give homeless man a dollar because he is a con artist looking for booze but a real con artist who actually hurt someone gets a Hollywood treatment and social media support.

I never said that. Part of criminal justice reform is prison reform. In America we have 3 modes 1. Let people get away with horrendous crimes. 2. Punish to an inhumane degree. 3. Basically use the prison system as mental health system.

Like...because it’s wrong?

I was raised in Northern California have lived in the South for the last ten years I will say Oregon specifically is super racist and blue counties are barely keeping it blue. We use to have neo-Nazis from Oregon travel down and try to recruit when I was a kid.

What you choose to wear everyday is an action, a political t-shirt is sharing a belief. That is literally the point of wearing that sort of t-shirt.

Yeah. I always view the sitcom world to be Alison disassociating when she is with him so it’s hard to tell how far the abuse has really gone.

I agree! We really need to think about what we mean when discuss restorative justice and atonement how we want that to play out. If abuser feel like redemption is hopeless why try?

I weirdly don’t believe him? I guess I am old enough to have remembered the rumors of his dad’s behavior when he was on Even Stevens. It seems like he knows if he can redeem his dad he can be redeemed for his own behavior or something. The whole thing seems odd.

The last character on the shirt depicted a cop receiving a pay raise. It was an interesting shirt since I wondered how that same person would feel if the need for help came as a result of an accident or even a traffic stop.*

Jason Aldean looks like he is mad Ed Hardy and Von Dutch ever went out of style and is deciding to make it everyone’s problem.

This. Haven’t we had decades of Reaganomics/trickle down economics and it has made our country worse.

I wish the show would delve into the financials more because in my opinion Kevin is engaging financial abuse and I do think it premeditated on a certain level because it isn’t played off as shopping addiction.

I don’t find an article of clothing to be offense, no matter the content.

A Blue Lives Matter t-shirt is inherently political and can lead to disagreements regardless to how you feel personally about it and how you decide to interpret that shirt. Slogans and t-shirts by nature do not have nuance. Imagine if someone wore a Defund the Police to some meemaw’s birthday party. Its totally…
