The entire website is trash I wouldnt waste my time with it.

1) Ask yourself why you are using the word retard (which i would have ignored) and defending it(which is why i feel the meed to respond). Just learn to take the high road. You have 2 choices - hurting disabled people and their family's and friend's feelings because, what, you can? You can't think of another word? You are angry for people trying to tell you what not to say? (2) I enjoyed the review. Most reviews are dry, this one conveyed the emotional response the reviewer had. At least if you're going to trash talk the review , point out a couple specifics of what's wrong with it.

It's like she just heard the word schmaltzy yesterday and was determined to put it in her article as many times as possible... learn some new adjectives...

..You read it twice, didn't you? I WARNED YOU NOT TOO!

Take 2 beers and go to bed, you'll feel better in the morning.

Dude, these aren't serious reviews. There's no point getting up in arms about Lindy West considering her reviews aren't counted on metacritic or rotten tomatoes and don't effect a film in any way. She's written some funny stuff, too, like her Sex and the City 2 review.

I know they aren't serious reviews, I know she's trying to be funny but...she isnt. And again I still say I cant believe this woman gets paid for this.

[–]runningtheblade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, someone on the internet isn't funny! Attack! Attack!

Reviews aside, I hate the way they lay out their comment section.

She talks about Oscar Bait, meanwhile her whole website is linkbait and every time she gets a hit from this post shes making money.

Just. Like. She. Wanted.

OP should delete post. There is no karma to be had even in bringing attention to this atrocious woman. Let her die fugly and alone with her crap Gawker site into the depths of obscurity where she belongs.

It's Lindy West. It's not a serious review. Grow a better vocabulary and chill.

[–]wrathborne[S] -4 points-3 points  (6 children)

Grow a better vocabulary? Are you trying to be pretentious?

[–]coridactyl 1 point2 points  (5 children)

I object to the r-word because it's fucking ableist and offensive. It's not okay when Ann Coulter does it, why should it be accepted here?

[–]MilleniumFailclown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

who gives a shit about what offends you? the world does not revolve around you or any other SRS bitches.

[–]wrathborne[S] -5 points-4 points  (3 children)

So, you were offended by something that I said?

That's a shame really, because on the internet this is an incredibly uncommon occurrence that almost never happens.

But in all seriousness, that's a shame that I said something that's said thousands of times a day on and offline and you chose to take offense to it.

Its even more shameful that because you're taking offense to it that you're going to force your belief that its not OK for people to say stuff other people don't like to hear. It doesn't matter that you don't like to hear the word 'retard', you're getting angry about it isn't going to do anything about it but piss off others.

I don't like hearing the word 'Nigger', I find it a vile word that's over used in hip hop culture, but you know what? Doesn't matter how I feel about others saying it, they dont care about my being offended by it they would care if I went around telling them that they cant say it because outside of my offense to the word, its none of my business what other people say.

You're offended by me saying 'retard', I'm sorry you feel that way. But you know what? You're being offended isn't going to give you leprosy, or cause your house to burn down, or cost you a job.

We all have to accept other people don't share our opinions, point of views, or even personalities. Grow some thicker skin, this is the internet.

It's gonna be okay, dude. Let it all out. I hope you feel better soon.

It is your choice to keep using that word, but anybody listening to you is going to equate you with a middle-school aged child, and will not take you or anything you say seriously.
