At least they usually got clowned on and ratioed to hell by the rest of the people.
Substack isn't there yet, we need like 100 leftist commentors, funnier and meaner and smarter than I am, for every 'sara' to make these people not dominate.
Seriously, half the responses to articles here are centrists demanding an explanation of "Why Did You Even Write That?", or these Swann's Way length 'well I'm a GOOD liberal and I really Believe Women and think Black Lives Matter..." and then close it out with "And thats why I'm voting Biden and you should to"
A sizeable number of the comments on any of these articles are by people who hold literally nothing in common with the writers, aren't supporting their work, and are only here hatereading and posting because a grandkid who won't speak to them linked the article in a facebook thread they're stalking.
I am sharing every article I can to try and lure more people here for that reason.
I am a fan of Defector making commenting a certain paid tier. Hopefully it will result in Golden Era Deadspin comments and not "Look at these 2007 comments" from Barstool morons during Deadspin's last few months.
"Dunno how Kinja managed to dodge that bullet." idk, a lot of Splinter's commenters were pretty right of the content.
