Matthew Perpetua and Fluxblog make the NY Times, fame and fortune is his

Because Alyssa Milano did, at one time, have a terribly high profile over here, especially among people in Perpetua's age group, and it's like I said way upthread...he probably feels pretty cool atm for making a list that she saw and liked enough to retweet to a gazillion people. Perpetua hate amongst certain groups on ilx is way over the top.

tbh m-perp has said far more vicious and poisonous things than anyone itt

*prays pre-emptively for thread not to turn into Shit Perpetua Said Collection thread*

I've known the guy for fifteen years, before ilx even came into existence, so I guess I just feel like I can read him a little better than some people around here and, yes, he's capable of being a completely infuriating blowhard and warped perceptions on some topics, but he's ultimately harmless and really not worth all the heated discussion he generates at times.

If someone generates heated discussion all the time, are they really harmless? think abt it

This is all about a list he made on Buzzfeed and his reaction on facebook to Alyssa Milano acknowledging it. Worth the heat? think abt it

is this really heat? he said something dumb that was brought to light and is being called out accordingly

This is more like the dumb pictures of Drake thread where continuing examples are just added to the list.

perp police never rest

xxp May all of your off-the-cuff remarks be similarly brought to light.

facebook is basically public, people get criticized for what they say on social media all the time, nbd

I THINK I'M BIG PERP ... YO LA TENGO

WHO'S THE BOSS ... LYSSA MILANO

Hey, you never know when you might need a job at Buzzfeed.

you guys should find something worth getting upset about and expend your energy there.

the original tumblr page that posted this has an XKCD link in their "about me."

there we go

This is worth a chuckle at best. The virulent original tumblr post sets a stupid & borderline creepy tone for "making fun" of a blogger

Like sorry CAD im all for clowning perp but doing it on the basis of an unfunny bitter anecdote about a facebook post provided by a social justice tumblr that presumes perp's general attitudes to women bc of how he responded when he got linked by a major celebrity....

and back into hibernation goes the thredd

well i mean one more thing: i know the dude who wrote that post and his tumblr is in no way a "social justice tumblr"

lol

idk i assumed that based on a lex post so grain of salt

i first encountered it reblogged off a Social Justice Tumblr

every tumblr that comes within the same circle as Social Justice Tumblrs ends up talking like them soon

poetic justice tumblr

thank god lex's mistake was brought to light and called out accordingly

the system works!

the system called

RECIPROCITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

okay lol

when exactly did this place get all caring and sharing

couldn't find a pic of alyssa holding a pineapple : (

when exactly did this place get all caring and sharing

when enough posters began making their livelihood in arenas where they were a half-step away from Perpetuadom themselves

i was more talking about ppl here than the tumblr poster

also damn the bar is now low for "major celebrity"

to be fair the celebrities kinda brought them on that themselves by engaging with the hoi polloi via twitter

if u think im not being a dick b/c of careerism, fuck you

10 IF u think im not being a dick b/c of careerism then GOTO 20
20 FUCK YOU

Yeah, the only ("only"...I admit to a clear bias) skin I have in this game is knowing MP on a personal level. Even being intimately involved with Fluxblog for years, I never made (or expected) a dime. I have no issue with people critiquing his writing. Shit just always tends to get overly-personal here, which is doubly shitty since he isn't even around anymore to defend himself.

Nino,, you forgot 1 FLASH

Adds a little flair imo

I don't know what's lamer: y'all carrying on about nothing or me reading y'all on nothing

the wind up........

Regardless of your opinion of the Big Perp, I will say this: I wholly approve of the "vertical" form of content dumping rather than those stupid click-thru slideshows... Particularly when they're editorial-free on sites like Buzzfeed.

So basically what I'm saying is: give me more big Perp all up in my vertical.

i can't believe people actually listen to yo la tengo. i expect more from alyssa milano.
