Whats the worst thing you ever read on a gawker site?

Specific fond remembrances of a stagnant garbage pond, not 'everything.'

I remember an op ed about how every man could be a rapist, written by a guy. I believe it was around the time they were publishing stuff about the internet comments psycho who accused Connor Oberst of rape, it basically existed to chastise readers who felt it was irresponsible to promote the story. A companion article said Oberst should not threaten to sue her which would've forced the issue into court and cleared his name legally.

An article about how Blake Lively is racist for saying she has an 'la face with an oakland booty' in which the author did not initially recognize the sir mix a lot reference and attributed the quote directly to Lively, and in the edit to add that info completely insulted mix a lot with the same racism she initially accused lively of.

A piece chastising readers for complaining about click bait in the comments.

Hamilton Nolan reported that foodie/npr bubble head Mo Rocca had signed to be a spokesman for Monsanto. Mo Rocca immediately dispelled it on twitter. Nolan proceeds to fight with readers in the comments about it not being irresponsible to make zero effort to confirm the story.

In general every single thing Nolan has ever written.

I don't read Gawker. I'm not a woman or a faggot.

This is the only acceptable answer.

As a rapist I found that incredibly offensive. I put a lot of work into my art, and it gets no consideration. Do you know how offensive it is to say that any man could do this? Like I'm a fucking janitor!

both times i was raped it was by janitors. the third and fourth time were by janitors as well.

Guess you didn't learn your lesson.

At least the clean up was easy

That's an odd trend. You were clearly asking for it.

There was like a month where everything Seinfeld said in public was called racist by Gawker.

Well, to be fair, his "What's The Deal With Negros?" tour was an odd career move.

Maybe, but when you really think about it, what is the deal with these negros?

There was an article written by some total dumbass about that scene on Louie's show where he got all sexually aggressive with Pam, forgetting that it's a tv show and it's fake and being horrified that a woman would be part of something so triggering and scary. Holy fuck, that melted my brain.

Their worst moment though, was refusing to take down Hogan's sex tape not too terribly long after chastising all men on the internet for looking at naked photos of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton when that big leak happened, calling us all rapists and perverts for taking part in such an invasion of privacy. Just a whole lot of intellectually dishonest, self-sucking double standard bullshit.

Probably should have told that one writer not to joke about posting sex tapes of children while under oath, huh? Good riddance.

I never visit gawker but I remember this one leaking out to the internet at large. Read it and then read the author trying to defend himself in the comments section. He basically says "if you are white, let black children steal from you".

what a self hating piece of shit. I dont want to live on this planet anymore.

by all means

I came here to mention this article. Here's the blogger's actual quote:

"If you are nonviolently mugged by a child, continue to let him run along with his friends. The world will be a better place."

It's one thing to criticize the woman who was robbed for "posing" for pictures for the NY Post. But that statement is such tone-deaf white guilt bullshit that it truly sounds like satire. I don't even think most hardcore leftists would agree with that.

That time they invented obviously bullshit rumors about James Franco being gay and raping a man

Oh, an article titled "Was I Raped" an account of a sexual encounter that took place under extreme coercion that concluded with the question. I was as disgusted as I've ever been that they would generate site traffic like this.

It might not have been Gawker but I got a kick out of the women whose article said literally all penis-in-vagina sex is rape. Because the man has to put something inside the woman, he's in a default position of power, which is rape.

Outing the brother (not a public figure, married with kids) of a former Secretary of the Treasury by publishing the alleged correspondence between the man and a mentally unstable gay escort. That was a particular low point.

i don't care for how they bursted my bubble and made my hero the hulkster into a literal cuckold

Bubba was the cuck.

Hogan was the bull.

Much more noble.

Oh yeah, fuckin HULKAMANIA is back on boys

shooting neon orange loads up other dude's wives is PFG to me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BFxLLsqV6k

He also did this, he is a fucking real American man!

Hear that Jezebel lurkers?

That was very kind of Hogan to build the freedom towers like that. Altruistic in every sense.

He is a fucking hero. Cucks out old Todd Clem, then remodels NYC for us.

Who else can send a shower of flames through a building with a big boot?

Fucking no one!

To split some hairs without the element of humiliation Bubba is actually a 'stag.' Ive also seen it called 'hotwifing'

Ahh, thank you. I think it added to the conversation perfectly. :)

what is the difference? a cuck watches while Hulk fucks your wife and a stag leaves the room?

I was personally repulsed by hogan saying he felt like a fat pig for eating so many crab legs. Just banging and probably trying not to fart all full of king crab meat and butter. yuck.

The hogan video and their history of outing people is completely despicable.

some women like a stinky man. one must imagine bubba's wife is one of them

Cuckamania is running wild on you, brother!!!

that yo momma was a ho

The front page... fawwwk yeahhhhh double gunzzzz

Never read it. I hope that Torch Song Asshole Perez Hilton gets sued next.
