Gawker Media - Feat. Kotaku, Jezebel, and Friends

I'm tired of the "feminists" on my FB friends list posting links to Jezebel.

Gawker is like every other news outlet in that they're terribly biased. I will say that you evidence feels a bit "LOOK HOW THEY TREAT TEH WHITE MENS!" but I can understand why you would consider them (or their authors) lolcow worthy. They certainly foster a base for like minded people. I don't see how it's different fro a place like Breitbart or Fox News but whatevs.

• White people should allow black people to prowl through and possibly steal their belongings

I'm more baffled a dude brought a PS3 on vacation. Even if it's for some hackneyed YouTube video I don't know what you expect to happen.

• Fuck Jerry Seinfeld

Seinfeld is pretty wack so yeah, fuck him.

Why did he have to come here

Also, on the subject of Gawker being a lolcow or not, I was thinking more along the lines of lulzy authors who write for it (Patricia Hernandez, Ben Kuchera, Leigh Alexander, etc) rather than Gawker itself as a corporation. Sorry, I should have made that more clear!

Sam Biddle. Because fuck that guy.

Columbia Journalism Review article, not Gawker.

 

[Gagamaru]

it is shit, but sometimes it can be mildly diverting to see a writer try baiting the 'ethics in journalism' brigade into rage views.

 

[RecordStoreToughGuy]

One man's troll is another's lolcow, I suppose. I've always considered Gawker and its cadre more troll than lolcow, myself, but I suppose the argument could be made either way.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

I suppose the argument could be made either way.

One thing I think we can agree on is that Gawker Media websites are probably not that much of a reliable source of info nowadays, if they ever were.

 

[Gensdupays]

I think Gawker Media is definitely a company of lolcows. I think much like Vice they got really mad when they figured out people used AdBlock and compared it to stealing from them. I know Cracked did that too.

 

[Hodor]

I really dunno if Gawker qualifies as a lolcow. Considering it's a corporation.

Gawker itself isn't a lolcow- if anything, it's a really skeevy company that has enemies damn near everywhere. But the writers? Hoooooooly shit, those people are some of the funniest fuckers you'll find on the internet.

 

[HipstrsGonnaHip]

Is Deadspin the only good part of Gawker?* Or is just that Jezebel and Gawker per se are driving the reputation of the rest of the blogs down with them?

* Good, not great. The day Drew Magary stops writing for Deadspin is the day I stop reading Deadspin altogether.

It is important to know the context of what this woman was saying. To her, rape means being treated like a human being by somebody she deems a eunuch. Since I'd actually fuck her brutally she would not consider what I did rape but a blessing.

NO! Bad Fuckbot, that's a very bad Fuckbot! Back in your thread! Don't make me get the newspaper!

HAHAHA
Please let me suck your cock marjie

Didn't several writers leave Jezabel recently? I read because one long time writer was passed over for editor, and a 24 year old was hired as editor.

 

[Trombonista]

Jezebel's lowest point was an article in which women bragged about beating their boyfriends.

 

[Picklechu]

I'll occasionally skim through Kotaku articles, but I ignore them as soon as I start to sense they're trying to express an opinion, since most of the staff is retarded. Jezebel is one of the worst pieces of "journalism" on the planet, though. North Korea's state media is more balanced and less hypocritical.

 

[Hmmpf!]

Write down. Next lolcow will be Daily Mail for bullshit news everyone share and believes.

Nope, Huff Post

This times one billion. Somehow I don't think people are aware how stupid and hypocritical Gawker and its ilk are. Fortunately the ability to block shares from specific sites seems to finally be working on Fapbook now so I no longer have to expose myself to this bullshit.

That being said, I don't think it's really within the scope of these forums (if there is one) to consider an entire outlet to be a lolcow - unless of course said outlet decides to respond to us directly and repeatedly over a long period of time, or something like that. My two cents.

tl;dr Gawker a shit

Is Deadspin the only good part of Gawker?

I personally really like lifehacker and their articles about organization techniques and maximizing efficiency in the workplace/home. (nerd alert)

I used to read Jezebel in 2008 when I was in highschool and really into Bikini Kill. I stopped reading it when I stopped caring about gender politics, but I think Gawker Media in general has been slowly been getting worse and worse since then. Although, even my 16 year old self knew that all the writers were pretentious NYU graduates.

Oh, God. Why, Jezebel.

Spoiler: No explicit pictures, but still gross

YES, YES PEOPLE WOULD STILL BE DISGUSTED IF IT WAS A GUY WHO MADE YOGURT OUT OF HIS SEMEN OR SOMETHING. Making anything out of your bodily fluids- especially something food-related- is fucking gross. Why would you do that?

 

[AnOminous]

Oh, God. Why, Jezebel.

Would we bo so disgusted? Probably.
