Lydia seems to rise and fall in importance and influence the same way Fred Waterford used to in the first three seasons.

So, Aunt Lydia went from has-been fuck-up forced into mercy retirement to Big Boss of all Aunts, including those who were forcing her into retirement a couple episodes ago? And all thanks to the maneuvering of a formerly disgraced commander who was in turn this close to be executed as a traitor?

I’m upset that I’m not enjoying this season the same way everyone else seems to be. The show has broken so many of the rules of the world it so masterfully created in the first two seasons (I’m even a s3 apologist), but now it’s gone too far. The only characters who have sensical arcs, and whose motivations seem to…

That’s absolutely what she should have done, and probably how she really feels, but saying anything less than “this is my fault, and even as a teenager I should have been researching the history of every party and organization my parents made me go to“ would have just stoked the controversy.

I’m going to dissect this bullshit one bit at a time:

It’s a good apology. Mine would probably sound like:

I love how the article tries to insinuate that it was terrible that she took a week to respond to this manufactured controversy. Y’all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

Honestly I think if you scrutinize any of the worldbuilding it’s just going to make you crazy because it’s really inconsistent. Just take any episode at face value and don’t try to remember too many past details and it’s a more enjoyable show.

You know, AVC, you can’t regularly call Twitter a shitty hell website and then give in to its worst tendencies constantly.

Was really hoping AVC wouldn’t report on this nonsense. But of course they did.

You guys have printed a fair amount of extraordinarily weak outrage-seeking shit over the past couple years, but this might take the cake. I rate this clickbait seven “UGH”s out of a possible five.

The Atlantic reported in 2014 that the Veiled Prophet Organization barred Black and Jewish people from joining.

This is one of the rare situations where I’m pretty sure the pandemic isn’t the primary roadblock.

Exactly. So many people made up their mind the movie would be bad and would sneer online, thinking they were original “lol what, did Dalmatians kill her parents?!”

The thing that pushed the villain formerly known as Estella to become Cruella was her anger over having someone else take credit for her work

As another, more reasonable man, I can say definitively that you are wrong that “no man” would consider that rape. Some people having that fantasy doesn’t mean it’s okay to just do it without consent and a safe word.

Gross. What a sexist thing to say. A man in a relationship might not be so quick to call it rape, but they would definitely feel violated. The hand over the mouth after saying “wait”? Not right.

The fucking worldbuilding on this show...

Also, “Having to get emergency dental surgery the day you’re supposed to appear in a TV reunion special for a show that filmed when you were having well-documented substance abuse problems, causing you to slur your words and making people think you relapsed” is a CURB plotline, not a FRIENDS one. Come on, writers!…

A guy named “Pedowitz” wants to reboot a show about kindergarten-age superhero girls.
