Master of None (Aziz Ansari, Netflix) TV Show • Page 22

feel like i def don't wanna watch that

 

Jfc watched 30 seconds of that and wanted to throw up

 

It's as if she never even read the article! Woo!
Unless you've been in that exact situation it's impossible for any outsider to comprehend the victims feelings in that moment. So she could have just left? Maybe she feared that it would have been even worse for her had she tried to leave, and that Aziz would have gotten even more aggressive and potentially violent.

Fuck CNN for airing that garbage

 

posted in the news thread, but thought this piece was pretty good: Babe, What Are You Doing?

 

A product of our culture, a generation ahead of mine.

It comes across as trying to protect a movement or brand and not the actual victims. Not a good look.

 

I feel a little bit better about having some concerns over Babe.com as a source and their journalistic scrutiny, and wondering why a woman would report to Babe instead of somewhere more respected. The fact that Way approached Grace instead of the other way around and then promoted the story as an 'exclusive' feels opportunistic, even if intentions were good. Though I believe Grace and understand why she trusted Babe with her story, she deserved better.

 

Some interesting things in this piece. I had a very similar first reaction as the author the moment I saw the "Exclusive" branding all over it.

I've heard in passing through some writer friends that other, large, publications (LA Times, Hollywood Reporter) had heard of this story but wouldn't run it because it didn't pass their editorial scrutiny.

 

This is a really good article too

On Aziz Ansari And 'Bad Sex

 

Shared this in this thread earlier today-- probably the most insightful article I've read thus far about it.

 

Ahhh my bad. I agree 100% though. I learned so much.

 

The Reaction to the Aziz Ansari Allegations Shows #MeToo Is More Measured Than Its Critics Claim

This is good.

 

Opinion | Aziz, We Tried to Warn You

 

the internet is a repulsive place. don't watch if you don't wanna get angry, but this is on top of reddit. shocker!

 

Saw earlier, fits that type of reaction comic-

Side you agree with: Rational, calm, logical speaking, drawn normally and never yelling

Side you disagree with: The most insane points, yelling, not making any sense, drawn like a monster

Disgusting shit so of course reddit loves it

 

Jesus

 

Grrrrrr.

 

The seriousness of the story aside, Babe does not seem like the most professional journalist output.

 

I had never heard of them until this story tbh

 

What a great way to completely undercut the story you're trying to report. Absolutely disgusting.

 

Babe.net journalist and Ashleigh Banfield exchange barbs over Aziz Ansari story

yikes. this is just getting worse. that jezebel article was fantastic.

 

Wow that's horrible from the Babe journalist.

 

Netflix Willing to Make 'Master of None' Season 3 if Aziz Ansari Desires, But Unsure About 'Arrested Development' [TCA 2018]

 

I predicted it before, but if an episode of this show comes out painting him as a victim I am gonna be pissed

 

He's not going to portray himself as a victim, Netflix know how sensitive this issue is. And even though he acted like a scumbag, I don't think he's an idiot. I definitely want a third season, regardless of how shitty this whole thing has been.
