Age of Shitlords might have launched out of the slightly troll-ish meme-based Shit Tumblr Says Facebook page, but they’re starting to develop into interesting analysists of PC culture. Here’s their take on the Ke$ha vs. Dr. Luke controversy:

Dr Lukes legal team assert that her claims, contrary to her earlier testimony given under oath, are simply a bid to defame him and extort from him an early release from her contract. Sony have offered Kesha a different producer to work with, in light of her allegations, but she has declined this offer and stated that regardless of the offer, her music would not be promoted unless she continued working with Dr Luke and later even amended her lawsuit to include Sony as co-defendants in her claim stating that they have failed to investigate her allegations into his conduct when they are supposedly obligated to do so. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it is the job of police to investigate criminal allegations, not the responsibility of the employer, who does have a certain interest in the public image of their employees, however not to the extent that they are to operate outside of the framework provided by the legal system and informally convict one of their employees of sexual assault without the involvement of the authorities. That’s just the thing though, no complaint has been made to law enforcement to date, despite an unnamed source close to Kesha stating that she has available to her medical records that support her being roofied and raped.

Gavin McInnes on the latest buffonery from Kanye West:

Why does Kanye get a pass? He is an endless fountain of comedy. It doesn’t make sense for a free-market economy to deny ourselves this relentless source of joy. He doesn’t have Down syndrome. He has Ridiculously Funny syndrome.

West’s prepubescent views on everything Kanye haven’t stopped over the past decade, but everyone is too scared to mock him because he’s black and they don’t want to be called racist. He’s aware of this, so when his clothing line fails he says it’s because people were too “racist” to buy his stuff (this from a guy who gets to wear the Confederate flag on his bomber jacket). His clothing line was made up of people wearing brown nylons and strange “skin-colored” sweatshirts that looked like they were made out of Nazi lampshades. We recently learned that this foolish mistake put him $53 million in the hole and he took to social media to beg Mark Zuckerberg to bail him out to the tune of $1 billion. No word yet on why you get to be $947 million in the black when you screw up that badly.

McInnes also talks about why everyone’s so afraid to call an idiot an idiot.

Stephen Fry has been widely accused of misogyny after he described costume designer Jenny Beavan as dressing like a “bag lady” during Sunday night’s Baftas award show.

It’s the type of comment that Twitter equality crusaders love to jump on; Fry duly quit the social network (again) after receiving a barrage of abuse. But it’s not the first time he has faced the accusation of misogyny. In 2010, the broadcaster said that women don’t enjoy sex and only agree to it because it “is the price they are willing to pay for a relationship with a man”. He later admitted that the comment was “offensive, ignorant [and] arrogant”.

Personally, I don’t know if Fry is a misogynist or not. But what I do know is that a worrying number of gay men are misogynist.

Jim Goad on the sleight-of-hand push for banning hate speech:

Modern hate-speech laws tend to be focused on preventing any honest criticism of globalist initiatives to erase national borders and shove all of the Earth’s inhabitants in one big pigpen under the same inescapable jurisdiction. And although they pay tremendous lip service to “democracy,” you have absolutely no say in that matter. And if you try to speak up about it, you will be jailed.
