re: Evans and Renner Have to Apologize for Calling Black Widow a Slut

I like that this is now the third page of a thread of pretty much nothing but people flipping out over somebody apologizing, and ironically getting mad at OTHER people for being upset. For all of the talk about "SJW's" in this thread, they have made no appearance, nor in the linked article. It's just incoherent rage at people who are wound too tight, which I find astonishingly ironic.

I'm with you.

I mean, I laugh at crazy SJW's, too.
But this example isn't even that bad.
It's not like anything actually happened. Renner didn't get fired or something.
They just half-assed apologized.

If you find yourself getting hyper-offended by this, maybe it's not just the SJW's who need to learn to chill about things that don't affect them.

Please please please tell me the Poli board is not now starting to oooze onto the M/TV board.

It's bad enough it jumps over to the OT enough to make that almost unreadable at times.

This is one of the few boards that manages mostly to stay poli free. I'd hate to see it ruined.

It's one thread on a topic that is apropos to movies and tv since it is about offending a make believe fricking movie/comic book character and all the assclowns got upset about it. I felt like we, collectively, could laugh at them. Particularly after Renner's response, which read:

"I am sorry that this tasteless joke about a fictional character offended anyone,” he said. “It was not meant to be serious in any way. Just poking fun during an exhausting and tedious press tour.”

That is fricking priceless.
