Well, I can hardly blame anyone for getting a rosy picture of the porn industry from Jezebel.

Wait, is a porn star not a “glamorized prostitute that does things in front of cameras”? To be 100% clear, I believe porn performers (and prostitutes for that matter) can be raped, obviously; they’re surely subjected to more predatory behavior than average and I wish very much that they were better protected and that…
You cannot be serious.
auuughhh I didn’t misread it, I just don’t think it’s anything special and I disagree with the author’s take on it! And I’m tired of Amy Schumer!!
While many of the allegations against Deen are new, the pattern is alarming.
I don’t know which one you’re referring to. Jez doesn’t click back to the linked comment like it used to, at least not on Chrome.
That’s nice. I could tell you to move the fuck on from the very vocal population of people saying “enough already” re: Schumer, but whatever.
How was I passive-aggressive? You don’t have to answer, I’m as weary as you are, but if anything I was aggressive-aggressive, or, more accurately, just straightforward about my feelings.
Dude, I’m more wounded by you calling me “passive aggressive.” I have hardly been that. IDK about mean, either. If I was mean, it was toward Amy Schumer, which ... who cares? She’s not here and other people call her far worse things than slobberingly overpraised.
Well, I mean, what am I supposed to say when someone calls me miserable? Maybe I am miserable in ways that have nothing to do with Amy Schumer or Jezebel, yet I find them annoying, and so my sadness manifests itself in cranky-ass comments about these things. I get it, you don’t like my comments today, but you don’t…
yawnz
I just don’t see the feirceness in this photo that you do. Isn’t that OK? I mean, I get that some people will see this photo and see a fuck-off face, others will be excited at a representation of a woman who’s not a model size, etc. That’s cool. I just see ... blah. (Which is part of why I don’t see my reaction as a…
No, I “raged” against Jezebel’s assertion that this photo represents getting a grind on. It’s a lady sitting on a stool sipping coffee. If you see this as part of the grind, your life is a lot easier than mine. I’m wearing 4” heels right now BTW, I just don’t act as if wearing them, or undies, or sipping coffee is…
I don’t want to engage the points you’ve made, because I feel like you’re extrapolating, as I said before. It’s not that your points aren’t interesting, just that I really don’t feel like getting into a big back-and-forth about how to interpret this photo.
yeah it’s my response, because 1) I’ve made my points (Amy Schumer is unimpressive in relation to the praise she receives constantly; Jezebel fangirling is irritating, etc.), 2) you’ve clearly disagreed with them, so 3) I accept that and am moving on.
You’re not hearing me. You said
We all get that you don’t like seeing Schumer on Jezebel.
Good lord, that is not what I am suggesting. You’re extrapolating wildly.
It’s not misplaced. I go to two sites for my quasi-feminist pop culture crap: here, and The Cut. And in both places, it’s like every single inconsequential and vaguely interesting thing that Amy Schumer does or says is given a disgusting tongue bath. Then you have dozens of commenters reinforcing the idea that sitting…
That’s the thing. Do I care if women do it? No. Do I want to hear about what you do in your apartment in your underwear? No. Is doing it a representation of a woman “out here grinding”? Fuck no.
