9-Year-Old Dating Expert Not Exactly a Ladies Man // Jezebel
I recently started reading Jezebel again from time to time. While I used to be completely obsessed with the site, it seemed to me that there was executive decision made around January 1st of this year for it to totally suck, so I cut it out of my daily routine. Now that procrastinaion is, once again, a major player in my world, I’ve brought it back into circulation. But get this. I was right - Jezebel totally sucks!
Take the above link, for example. This is the stuff gender-based pop culture parody dreams are made of, and all Dodai (one of the only remaining bloggers from the golden days) does is transcribe a few lines from the video! I mean, no need to be making fun of kids - especially those who have been endorsed by Ellen - but come on! This book looks completely absurd. Where is talk of heteronormativity? Kids growing up too fast? The fact that this is considered newsworthy by The Today Show?
Jezebel and blogs like it are so obsessed with page views that their content has gone to shit. They’re satisfied to write some thoughtless snipppet and leave it to the commenters to tear one another apart. Which brings me to this comment:
I guess it is okay to make fun of kids, but only if making fun of them involves calling them gay.
Jezebel, you’re dead to me
