Actually quite on board with rooting out pedos and gropers but trying to ruin someone's career over 20-year-old obvious satire because he called some reporter frumpy-looking seems a bit silly. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outl...m=.90506bdd1841

Groovelord Neato posted:uhhh wasn't the eXile mocking expat bros? Yeah it was admittedly pretty clumsy satire but loving obviously satire nonetheless. But he called some WaPo reporter "matronly" and she's obviously so stung about it that 20 years later she's writing a  #MeToo column about it so we should definitely ruin his career now even though he's one of the better and more entertaining journalists working

Yeah I'm a dude so it's going to come out sounding concern-trolly coming from me, but oh well: It's absolutely bullshit to lump someone calling you ugly in with someone holding you down and jerking off into a potted plant. Give me a loving break.

holy poo poo journalism is garbage i just tried to read that and eventually just dozed off in a haze of not caring about her huge set up for how hard it is to be insulted, like every human ever born hasn't heard a joke about their appearance, then some fucker ive never heard of, then russia, then a book the abortion threats or death threats or some poo poo like four pages in and there's no coherent topic other than 'im mad and doing poorly at getting other people to join me'
