Those are withering glares (one might even slip up and say shady glares), but actual shade needs context and “plausible deniability”.

I would say it’s more like a funny drag between friends (assuming it was intentional). I know friends like mine would be petty enough to write something like that.

I agree with you. Unintentional shade is almost an oxymoron. There has to be intent, your honor.

but they are often picked over Black Americans because of the comfort that white Americans have with them when they open their mouths and a British accent comes out. 

If “nobody is hating on the animator” why is she getting hundreds of vitriolic comments directed on her page specifically? Please.

The question of comparing current income with hypothetical income is always tricky— for instance, the Mint would still make a boatload from commemorating past royals if the current royal family ceased to exist, and the government could probably make a killing from all the royal assets, say for eg. Buckingham Palace,…

I definitely agree that Arin and Dan tend to go for low-hanging, not very clever racial jokes a lot, and as a nonwhite fan of their work it’s kind of disappointing especially since they are usually so clever and engaging with their conversations and seem to be chill and accepting in general.

I’m glad I’m not the only one whose mind went to mice. I can almost see their little feetses.

She could have been an American Malala Yousafzai

Tig Notaro I love. Maria Bamford I guess I like but have weird mixed feelings about. I feel like she’s somehow simultaneously underrated and overrated— underrated because she should be more well known in general, yet overrated because all my hipster friends hype her up like the second coming of God, when in reality…

It was funny, but shit like this happens live. But the part that had me on the FLOOR was when he awkwardly tried to ignore her and push her away, and it got funnier and funnier when mama strafed in. I feel like the suave move would have been to just put her on his lap and continue like it’s the most ordinary thing in…

I’m just here surprised that Kyle Krieger and his squad of white gay automata aren’t all over this show.

But the truth is that Naomi DOESN’T have beef with anyone. People have beef with Naomi and she gives shady responses. She’s also very direct in interviews, like “I’m not going to answer that question”, which people call shady but it isn’t. I actually wish more celebrities would do that instead of giving wishy-washy…

Except for really you need to chill, because it’s a common Dirt Bag joke and Bobby makes it all the time with the more famous person in the relationship.

Wow guys, way to erase her identity.

I’m sure all those women are kicking themselves for missing out on such a prize.

There’s nothing sad or questionable about it. If you’re young and have that body and confidence, it’s kind of perfect to wear something loud and bold and aggressive.

I think most of the hate comes from him ostensibly using black culture and a “black sound” to make it big when he first went solo, but being kind of tone-deaf on black issues.

I love Shade Court, but Kara always does the most when she comments lol. Basically a Jezebel caricature with the whole “PoC over all, white people are dumb” schtick, and I’m saying that as a PoC.

If this helps, no one ever gives context to that quote. It was part of a longer conversation between her and Tavi Gevinson, and they eventually both come to the conclusion (in the same conversation) that Beyonce’s art was empowering because she had control of it. The Emma quote is basically just a way of introducing…
