Comments

It's just weird because you seem more combative than I do? And I don't think I'm the person with the most comments in this thread? I don't know, maybe I am. This topic interests me. I stuck around. Big deal? To clarify AGAIN, I wasn't arguing with you. Ever. My HAHAHA wasn't me laughing at you. Yeah, I misinterpreted what you meant by "move on", but I was never trying to "whack you". I thought disagreement-with-joking-asides was the Videogum way, but eh. You said you were out of the thread. I just have a problem with being misunderstood, but what can you do. Let me go whack some more moles with my wildly angry lifestyle. Love me a rampage. I really wasn't being sarcastic when I told you to have a good day.
I'm only speaking truths, Napoleon. Deal with it.
I'm not actually on a rampage. Haha. I'm taking a break from work, believe it or not. I wasn't even arguing with you, sorry if it came off that way. I was aiming for lighthearted, which just shows how good my aim is. (Or maybe you're just super-sensible oh ooops I'm rampaging again!) I even added that last sentence to show how seriously I'm actually taking this entire thing (I live in a country where nearly 900 people have died in the past week, so, uh, yeah). This whole thing just rubbed me the wrong way. The post I could live with, the dismissive comments just added to a whole bunch of Thoughts and Feelings I've been having over Videogum whenever I actually read the comments here these days. I'll go out for beers soon and forget Gwyneth Paltrow even has a vulva. Have a good day, and I don't mean that sarcastically.
It's a losing game, PT. The upvotes/downvotes have spoken. I think Gwyneth is the only female celebrity Gabe hates, though, so at least we'll only be getting her upskirt shot updates. Disclaimers: I hate Gwyneth Paltrow and actually think the best part of Videogum are the posts and not the comments. Let's stop acting like Gabe is a baby who needs defending or he'll get his hurt feelings and cry tears of a blogger. I'm sure that in 97 years the man has heard his share of complaints.
No, sorry, I own a t-shirt that says otherwise, I have to obey my own t-shirts: http://media.threadless.com//imgs/products/1466/636x460design_01.jpg
Would he have posed in that thong voluntarily? Because uh, that's the big deal here, not Gwyneth Paltrow's labia itself. Not that I care, Ryan Gosling is yucky.
Is everyone making too big a fuss about this? Possibly. But there are two things I know! These are the only two things I know: 1) Telling angry people on the internet to "move on": HAHAHAHAHA. It... it doesn't work like that. 2) It's great that some people weren't offended, but others were, and I think both viewpoints have their validity and telling anyone, from either side, to "calm down and move on" it's a bit too dismissive. Now I gotta go put on my cape and save the world from misogyny.
Oh, look, ladies can have different opinions! I thought we were The Borg. And it's not really like anyone who's spending, what, 30 minutes commenting on this post would be using those 30 minutes to END MISOGYNY. So no, we probably don't have bigger fish to fry. We're just people who comment on a blog, we don't actually DO anything.
Yeah, it won't let me reply to the other comment, but that's what I tried to say. If Sarah Palin (haha, WHAT A PERFECT COMPARISON) says something that offends me, I won't bother trying to change her mind. If it's someone who's usually ok with these things, I actually feel the *extra* need to complain, because they should know better.
Aaaand you beat me to it, sorry.
I'd also like to point out that a vagina shot would have been taken with her permission at a gynecologist's office, because the vagina is the channel on the inside, YOU GUYS.
I agree and disagree. When someone says/does something offensive, yeah, it's nice to take in consideration that person's history with that kind of thing. Gabe is, usually, very conscious of these things! To the point where certain commenters are annoyed because how dare he point out that rich people have it easier than poor people GASP SHOCK GASP. But that doesn't make that one act any less offensive. And no, Videogum is not my "moral compass", but linking upskirt shots is pretty fucking shady to say the least.
Mans, I didn't completely agree with you on the 70% chances of rape post, because I thought the post itself was just fine, and although some comments crossed the line, they were mostly from people who cross that line a lot. But I just wanted to say this comment right here. Yeah. I'm 100% behind you, and TWSS.
Just to be fluffy, because it seems like I only ever comment to be bitchy, I'm really liking the cut of your jib today, PT.
I don't know, the dude saying "I know women with no kids whose areas need serious work in comparison to Ms Paltrow’s" would be the Troll, because Perez Hilton is that way --------------------(...)-----(...)---->> But whatever, you're the regular, I'm just a lurker. Be disgusting then accuse people of not getting humor all you want, if this is your Crusade of the Day. In fact, let's all share stories of totally gross vulvas we've seen in our time, am I right, you guys? Me first. BARFS.
YES. SHE HAD KNEE CANCER. God, that movie is terrible.
NO ONE IS GONNA SEE THIS, but I always felt a bit sorry for Colin Hanks. I imagined him talking to his friends, as a teenager, trying to take part in those good ol' "PARENTS JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND" conversations, but being instantly rebuffed. "Yeah, right, Colin, your dad is like America's greatest guy, I'm sure he makes your life sooooooooo difficult." "Yeah, Colin, I'm sure your dad is a total monster to you, shut up". Rough life, Colin, rough life. :/
You seriously read that line up there and still can't understand why anyone would hate Gwyneth Paltrow? Her saying that preparing to play the part of an alcoholic was really fun and liberating doesn't give you any hints? I mean, she's ok at her job, but come on.
You seem to understand a lot about television, and your comments would be such an interesting read if you understood anything about racism, or the very real, very troubling sociological aspects of some of the things you're saying. And I really don't mean this as an attack, but yeah.
Because making generalizations about blog comments is basically the same thing as making generalizations about poor countries with mostly non-white populations.
We've all had one of those days, PT! I have them all the time. In those situations I find it's always best to take a step back and stare at something other than the computer screen. Perhaps staple a kitten picture to your forehead, I hear that works. http://realfakeblog.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/boosh_kittens.png
Mans, you're my Videogum hero in all srsgum matters.
I seriously can't fucking believe you fucking people started this fucking discussion. Fuck everything, shut this Friday down.
Maybe it's his wife's sister and her husband?
That doesn't look anything like Rich! Come on, know your internet "celebrities"! Also, people like different things. Christopher Nolan is not your dad (I assume)! You can still love Inception, even if a blogger you've never met hated it.
Maybe you should have a harder time living, then.
Hey, SPOILER ALERT.
He's so sad and powerless without his lasers.
The Big Bads for the next series of Doctor Who.
That movie has a place in my heart, Ewan McGregor singing "Beyond the Sea" is what I wanna hear right before I die.
Shouldn't Clint Eastwood know how to hold a rifle? He's Clint Eastwood! What are you doing with that rifle, Clint Eastwood?
I miss the days when bird Jesus ran after Darwin's head. #nostagiaforgifsgum
I don't know what you're talking about, I always eat chocolate cake in a tiny bikini, and making orgasm noises. Then my girlfriends who are also wearing tiny bikinis and making orgasm noises and I go wrestle in a puddle of chocolate cake. And that's how I spend my Tuesdays! Girl's night!
Aw, prepare your stormtrooper costumes, guys! You're gonna have a great time battling Twilight fans for a front row seat at the Twilight panel! There's going to be a Twilight panel, right? And I don't think anyone needs to remind you two to drop by the FRINGE panel, right? There's going to be a Fringe panel, right? And don't forget to taste some Tru Blood. They're gonna have a True Blood panel, right?
I caught this on TV once and watched it for the same reason (though the BIGGER reason was that I was waiting for my sister to arrive, so I could turn to her and shout "HEY, WHAT'S UP WITH TOPHER GRACE?", then point at the tv. My sister did not get home till hours after the movie was over). It's WMOAT material for sure.
Hey, come on, don't direct your hate at womankind. Mankind. All of it deserves your dead rage. We're all terrible!
As a woman who likes women, I'd just like to clarify that Ke#@(888a is garbage. I speak on behalf of all women who like women, of course, that goes without saying.
As long as there are no women or black people involved, amiright?
