Watching all the purged Deadspin-as-voice-of-a-downwardly-mobile-woke-professional-generation types as they notice their attempt to solidarity-boycott the new regime means that the new writers aren’t tied to that identity and the vibe’s drifting towards Barstool’s “Sports Radio Call-In Guys: The Next Generation” model

And as much as they screenshot and scorn, and commiserate, those guys are getting paid to write their thoughts into Kinja posts, and there’s nothing they can do to stop it.

To return to my recurring comparison of the timelines of GamerGate and the Dreyfus Affair, at this point Dreyfus is officially guilty but free after a second trial, still 6 years before he is officially exonerated and 8 before Zola is interred in the Panthéon
