Well, I mean....when has Adult Swim ever been that politically correct? I guess a lack of female stars is a thing now after like almost two decades of being on.

What is their female viewership? I would guess it's next to nothing. If that's the case, men making programming for men is not absurd or sexist. If females are a large portion of their audience then it's an issue.

It's not about PC, it's about a boy's club mentality that is poisoning this country right now.

It's also about ethics in gaming journalism

We are talking about a company that said women can't handle conflict and that is why they don't want them in the writer's room. That was after saying women cause conflict, not comedy when in the writer's room. But leave it to people to take up for the misogynist.

Chaseter ain't people.

Let Paul Feig run Adult Swim. Watch the numbers roll in...err, wait.

Sam Hyde will save [as]

Somewhat surprising. And disappointing. I would have thought [as] would be more progressive and less boys' club than that. No idea why I assumed that but then I also have not really watched them in several years either.

I'm not talking about what they said. I don't know what was said. I was going off of no women working there. I didn't dig deep into the history of Adult Swim. If women are humiliated and actively rejected to work there then that is sexist yes.

I'm 90% certain that you are in fact about four elves that get on each other's shoulders to pass as human in public.

 

[chaseter]

no.
stop.

Who are you?
