ok fine but how much do you care about humor and being alive and fake blood spatter and gross fried chicken and on-purpose but not on-purpose bad acting and not being a robot?

It isn't, and it should be, and it's super clickbait garbage that posts tumblr-bait articles all the time.

I don't know how they can exist when Clickhole just tears them and all clickbait to pieces.

The AV Club posts reviews of every Big Bang Theory episode and they aren't all F's. They've never had credibility when it comes to taste.

i just check the av club to see what tv shows are coming out and when

everyone who writes for them seems to be some kind of idiot or bitch or both and their comments section is the worst on the internet. the actual worst.

is there a place on the internet that writes good about pop culture anymore? do people do any good writing on the internet these days?
