That this is the top response to an article like this is a perfect example of how the Jezebel community truly exists at the very bottom of the faux-feminist garbage pile.

It's 2014. "Web series, lol" doesn't really apply any more. And certainly not when your web series has Louis CK, Tina Fey, Patton Oswalt, Chris Rock and Ricky Gervais among others. At least half a million people watched the Tina Fey one.

"I'm a male, white comedian, and obviously I succeeded only because I wrote the best sitcom of all time, which is still strikingly funny today, even though I haven't done anything half as good since I stopped making new episodes. I have to believe that if others do not succeed, it's because they are likely stupid

Another take: "Stop trying to troll for headlines and making everything a controversy. Bye now."

In fairness, he wasn't commenting on comedians in general—these comments are based in who he PERSONALLY finds funny. His personal take on who's funny right now isn't a predictor of success in the comedy world...

Not denying the privilege he had or that there's a degree of blindness to it, but, he really did get to the top by being better and funnier than a ton of other equally privileged dudes (and typically being funnier than even the less-privileged dudes and ladies). And his relevance is in the fact that he's influenced

Tina Fey and Sarah Silverman are MEN?

Chris Rock might be officially white now. He's rich enough. Mario Joyner is definitely still black though. So at least one non white man has been on the show.

Either you're restricting yourself to a very narrow window of feminist media/opinions or you're looking for reasons to feel excluded. The rest of the world orbits around the wonder of thinness. Feminist spaces try to orbit around the wonder that is being happy in your own skin regardless of what shitheels say; that

Look at you picking up a side job during the recession!

I think Belle and Tiana count as princesses because they end up with princes. Also, because Disney's definition of princess is really just "the movie made a lot of money and the girl wears a pretty dress".

And how does a person respond to something like this? How does a woman who started reading this website as a teenager, who used to seek refuge here when her ideas about gender and equality were shot down by her friends, peers, and sometimes even family, who for some reason imagined this place as being a center for

It's not like guys are buying sex toys to curl up with them in the lonely watches of the night and whisper "I wish you were real" over and over again whilst weeping. It's a fucking sex toy, ffs.

Erin, normally I like what you write, but... you fucked up on this one.

I think if Twitter threats were being made via phone calls to your house, they would be taken at least somewhat more seriously, and law enforcement would have at least some reference point in how to deal with them. Why should this be any different, legally speaking?

I never liked her as a child actor - I just found her so unattractive (not ugly, but very unappealing). But I think she has grown into her bone structure and is SUCH a striking woman now! She has an old-fashioned, nearly Victorian look, I think it's tremendous. Now I think I would love to watch her face onscreen,

I'm so here for Beyonce and this new album. I was nervous after how "4" didn't do so hot (well at least in comparison to her past albums) that she would revert back to club banger and what not. So pleasantly surprised and happy with the growth she's showing on this new album. What I'm not here for? Jealous ass white

I saw Cibo Matto when I was like 16-17 and it was THE. BEST. EVER. So much enthusiasm and a really chill crowd.

The one and only time Megyn Kelly insists a Middle Eastern dude is white.

Just like Sister Famous Ray's said.

I love Mimi. Do you think she wore gloves because she knew she'd be touching people?
