“What did he expect having half a dozen kids in 3 years with a woman who has taken TWO trips to the psyche ward?” Shaming is pretty much exactly what you were doing, dude. I’m well aware she could well be an asshole, but that isn’t what you said. You focused on mental illness in a way that makes you seem like the…

Let’s not jump into shaming people for having experienced mental health issues, shall we? Some of the kindest and most decent people I know have spent time on psych wards.

Talentless is not a difficult word. If you think it is, it says more about you than Beyoncé.

Agreed. I wish a supposedly progressive site like Jez would stop funnelling the DM traffic.

How xeno and homophobic of you.

That’s a very good point, and one I hadn’t thought of. I hope she pulls through, either way.

Maybe. Either way, hopefully Fisher will pull through.

That isn’t Anna Akana’s MO. She generally seems pretty truthful and well-meaning.

Me too! The way it’s written, you’d think this man was an aberration, rather than the essence of Blackpool itself.

One of my best friends has been hospitalised repeatedly for psychosis. There was no way she would have been back to normal this soon afterwards, so don’t assume it of Kanye.

Having had a close friend hospitalised for psychosis a few times in the past year, I’m inclined to be more disappointed in whoever is responsible for caring for Kanye on this front. Out of hospital definitely does not mean ‘back to normal’ or that they’ve somehow ‘balanced his chemicals’ as someone upthread phrased…

Hey, if you’re genuinely having suicidal thoughts, please consider calling the relevant number here http://www.suicide.org/suicide-hotlines.html 

Yes! Me too! I’ve been campaigning for Jez to stop linking to the Daily Mail. (I never read TMZ, so I didn’t realise it was also horrendously right wing). I don’t think it’s legitimate to complain about Trump every second article, then support the media that put him there. Not even in an ironic or faux-outrage sense.…

I feel it’s pretty reasonable to call that exceptional circumstances not representative of everyday British life or people.

Brit here- that’s a myth. It’s really serious to use that word in all but the most sweary company here. Most people would be uncomfortable with it and people use it to be shocking.

Thanks. I kind of feel now that, if I can’t get a (theoretically liberal) website to stop funding something so horrible, what hope is there? I’m not being flippant or exaggerating, the level of hatred spewed by the Mail is so toxic, I think it’s one of the biggest forces for inciting violence against immigrants in…

I’m not sure how I could do that though. Also for a site that has the editorial stance of Jez, I think they ought to have a it of integrity. (I know, big ask). You can’t be horrified at Donald Trump every second article, then be supporting the kind of media that put him in the White House.

I’ve been campaigning for Jezebel to stop linking to the Daily Mail! No idea if they’ve listened but I really want them to stop sending money to these places.

Yeah I would have appreciated that.

And, incidentally, Trump is pre-emptively tanking US/UK relations too. He suggested a (far right) opposition party leader as ambassador to the US. Via Twitter. *facepalm*
