          Lemmy exists because some commies got mad at being censored by capitalist pig dogs and decided to make their own Reddit on FOSS principles. With less hookers, damn you Lenin, sex work is work!

          Everything else is bullshit, this is Reddit out from under Spez’s thumb and nothing else.

      Why? Most people know who Aubrey Plaza is. Most people don’t know him. It helps anchor the headline with who it is.

        allright dude. when I kill myself and my obituary says “actually noteworthy person’s relation, (me)” I’ll whisper how proud of them I am as I fade into the afterlife

      Why? I’m my wife’s husband as much as I am anything else, and plenty of people refer to folks as “John’s friend” or “Erin’s husband” to identify them in context.

      Also, would you have known who this was if they didn’t? Some would for sure, but a lot of people who care about his films still might not have put the pieces together without Aubrey Plaza’s name in there, so I don’t see the issue.

        I stated how I’d feel about it. I didn’t say you should feel that way. I guess I’m fucking wrong though, forgot I was on the internet for a moment.

          I was curious why you felt that way, not saying you were wrong. It was an interesting reaction to the headline, so I was looking to discuss/understand it, not debate.

            It made him feel like less of a man for a minute and he had to understand how women feel when they are diminished by being called “Mrs. <husbands name>”

        I don’t disagree with it being there but it wouldn’t feel great to be the leading description. “Director, filmmaker, and husband of” would emphasize his accomplishments.

        Meow that I think about it, Idk why we’re debating a TMZ headline. Sorry and good day.

          Fair enough, but that’s such a minor difference that I can’t imagine caring about it if I, personally, were the subject. I am definitely not calling any/everyone who feels differently ego-centric, but ego is the only reason I specifically could imagine being offended by that. Not looking to start a debate over TMZ at all haha, was just wondering if there were particular issues folks had with it that I wasn’t thinking of.
