Bad acting and lame jockes create a cult, imo.

Dark, sick, and disgusting, that’s for me!

Sounds like glee meet john waters... Dos someone find it that way as well? I’ll give it a try.

I don’t think this is the case. I’m not saying this isn’t the case in public opinion, but you clearly have other motives behind the instrumentalisation of the cases ( political, mainly) that have nothing to do with emotionnal investment in the case itself.

Thanks. I feel like those prosecutors were a) under a lot of pressure from other interest groups or b) decided it was a good case to advance their careers. I haven’t got the impression that they were really beleiving the case to be true, rather using it whatever the truth was. This is terrible for the victims, but…

While I’m ok with personnal and psychological explanation, I’m prone to try to understand the institutionnal design that allowed it to happens. People are blind and egotistic all the time, and those cases probably appear in a lot of contexts... However, those were probably the ones to have more publicity.

While I am glad that deadspin weights in, and there are lots of story on sport politics and corruption, I feel like insulting your readers, even the trolliest ones, is not really useful. In Trump’s and Swift’s word, haters gonna hate, but I feel your doing good ! More like this, please.

Super interesting story... I have often wondered why prosecutors, generally so reluctant to prosecute rapists (difficult cases to win), are sometimes super into it to the point of being careless. I don’t see the prosecutors in the cases as major feminists, so what was the deal? The racial card? The highly scandalous…

I don’t know. From what I understand, the short hair super thin and a bit darker next to my face are baby hair. But who knows, with all those inventions these days?

Any dark skinned European does as well.

I have that too. Thin, lazy, mousey hair.

Ok, thanks. I meant to say the speech was well put, with logic and argument and all, and that she sounds more clever than the average actress delivering an acceptance speech on stage (so yes to the comparison to the peer group, I’d say).

Me. I dislike her passionately and irrationally for what she represents (She might be a sweet and clever girl for what I know). “Ricky Van Veen”. God, what a stupidly posh name and this girl just screams white and rich privileges so much it’s sickening.

That was a wonderful moment. I admire that she is ok to be so political and addressing the industry.

Quite the opposite for me. I don’t even have a TV.

Yes, in the literal meaning of the word, her speech is. Specially compared to the crying speech we just had before. She made her point clear in a beautiful way.

And the shitty show!

I thought exactly that... I have the feeling that when it’s past the point of grateful tears or empty support words but actually call them on their issues, it’s suddenly not as cool.

Ok, good to know! I can’t rule out entirely the possibility of subconscious racism on my side, but I would mostly blame my ignorance of language subtleties.

It didn’t work for me. It’s touching, but not inspirationnal.
