The Jezebel site got murdered with words – their own words
The Jezebel website and social media accounts are framed as being content for women, and they describe themselves as “Supposedly a feminist website” on their homepage.
They recently attracted some serious criticism for posting this:
Timotheé Chalamet grew a hideous little goatee and it sucks https://t.co/U0vdlwaFaV pic.twitter.com/OjWLl0LAsZ

The article contained charming lines, such as
“Look at that thing. Do you think it moves when the wind hits it? I’m gonna barf.”
These are a couple of examples of the criticism they received on Twitter.

The superb own was so good, it made its way onto the r/murderedbywords subreddit, where Redditors added these comments.
Yeah honestly screw Jezebel. It’s a corporate entity with articles written by trust fund kids, co-opting Feminism. It’s mean and lazy writing.

I don’t even know the guy, and they make an article about his goatee. I even like it tbh, isn’t it a matter of opinion?
Someone got paid to write this instead of making a respectable article… I kinda wish it was illegal.

Reddit user bxxgeyman had this depressing addition to the discussion.
“Imagine expecting any company or corporation to have integrity in 2020“
