joyengel asked: What's your take on the Olivia Munn/Daily Show/Lady blogging-gate? (Also: welcome back to tumblr!)

Thanks! I figured it was time for my monthly Tumblr post.

As for the Jezebel/ladyblog/Daily Show kerfuffle: I honestly haven’t been following it that closely. I’ve really only read a few posts that old Jezebel people have linked to on Twitter. It just seems weird to me that a post that was about women in comedy turned into a blog war about who is a Real Feminist and who is a Real Journalist and blah blah blah. Well, that doesn’t seem weird to me since stretching outrage to the point where the original source of outrage is completely forgotten is what makes the internet such a wonderful/horrible place.
