Grace Lavery / Joseph Lavery & Daniel M. Lavery / Mallory Ortberg - "Straight with extra steps" couple trooning out to avoid "dwindling into mere heterosexuality"

I don’t think you get to decide to drop charges for a murder. That’s just stupid. No cops? What’s the plan, get antifa to tear the murderer limb from limb without a trial? Bring out the Medicaid social workers? Have a love in? Sit and tell the murderer in a group intervention how this is not like them and they can change and they should only murder things that are already dead or inanimate?

No cops for a murder? First he’s not going to get murdered, I don’t believe for a minute there is anyone doing anything even remotely edgy around Joe, much less murder threats. But second, I didn’t realize Joe was one of those people who just wants post apocalyptic free for all in the name of social justice.

But if you insist perhaps we could just defund the police for interventions on behalf of people who want to defund the police.

The entire history of the LGBTQ community is begging cops to investigate their murders. Historically, it has been difficult because the communities were often involved in some slightly shady stuff, like drugs or prostitution, so no one wants to cooperate with police, and the police don't know enough about the gay scene to properly work the beat without arresting everyone in sight. But activists want them to help and have worked to better the relationship between the police and gays since the '80s, when there was a lot of weird AIDS paranoia from the mainstream.

Joe would be setting back that work. Why are the cops not protecting the trans community? What if the murderer strike again? Trans people are literally being murdered and no one cares!

He is just such a narcissistic blackhole.

Mmm. Is it the case that Lily isn't what she seems?

This is taking a quite interesting. turn.

'A narcissistic alcoholic' just about sums it up. And 'not that unusual '- ow! No-one with any insight into human body language could look at Lily and see someone in love, or awe, or even deep affection. Everything is insincere and forced.
Lily's comments were dictated by Joe. He proudly identifies as a "narcissistic alcoholic," and she's coyly acting like he's really impossible to deal with! "Oh yeah, he's SUCH an abuser, he bites me all the time, feminists, please help! ;)"

Except it's painfully, painfully true.

:story: This picture is hilarious. You see the cute and hip looking young woman in the foreground... then immediately your eyes travel to the jarring background scene. A fat old man with 3 chins and bad hair, trying desperately to be sexy and cool just like the woman in front of him, but failing miserably.

This photo looks like that "How do you do fellow kids" meme in real life:lit:

This photo gives me so much joy, because there's no way Joe can see it and not recognize how much he fails to look the way he wants to look.
 
Esteemed film critic Joe Lavery has written a review of Spencer. Archive

I haven't seen the movie but I highly doubt it is "an incisive indictment of the failures of heterosexuality" as Joe, a heterosexual man, claims. The lead actress, Kristin Stewart, is a lesbian. [Joe: "That's my fetish!"] You can practically hear him twiddling his wiener as he writes about her:
[Director Pablo] Larraín has shot [Stewart] in such a way as to remind us, too, that underneath that plasticky orange pelmet pulses the queer body of a rangy butch, unconfined both by the mandatory weigh-in (“to make sure you’re enjoying Christmas”) and by the equally punishing, albeit more refreshing, bursts of compulsive purging and self-mutilation-by-wire-cutter.
What an absolute creep. :cryblood:

He looks like someone's frumpy aunt from the 1970's. Or their fruity uncle.

I'll bet Joe was the kind of kid you avoided in school because they were a total weirdo and sucked the fun out of the room just by their very presence. This picture embodies the same energy.

The major difference between Joe and someone’s frumpy aunt is: who wears a completely see through shirt with no bra, t-shirt (for men in a button down), or cami? Nipple sightings are the opposite of politeness. Again it’s another consent issue. Everyone has to see nipples when you walk around with nipples in everyone’s faces.




If you’re determined that people must see the slight curve of your moob, then at least wear a flesh toned strapless bra or a small nipple cover. Emily Post would be appalled. This is a wedding not a strip club. Have some respect. Have some self respect.

This person is not happy about seeing the nipple and is making a disgusted/puzzled face.

From the article… indecent exposure… yes. Or does it not count because Joe is not a woman? Another thing most women would never ever do. Most women don’t want that kind of attention. Another sign of not being a real woman. Most women try to deflect attention away from nipples…. Eyes up here and all that.


Also, I thought Mallory and Joe were consent warriors! Sticking up for people not to be sexual participants without their consent, right? I’d be so angry if anyone wore this around my kid.

Although I’m guessing most people laughed about it later. Like a dirty old man. Gross so gross and yet funny in the grossest of ways.

If Joe had to wait for consent to show his nips, it would never happen. Nobody is asking to see either Joe or Mallory's bodies.

Joe is just a social climber who mistakes simple gaudiness and boorish behavior with being a true avant garde. He thinks because he has a little money and an academic position that his trailer trash behavior is "culture". He's basically the troon version of Paris Hilton in academia. Only poorer and less attractive. About the same level of talent, though, to be fair.

Agreed but at least Paris Hilton made one good documentary. What has Joe ever done?

Women do not like that attention at all. Fun fact, tops on skirts made with some synthetic fabrics can become see through under UV light ( i.e. "dark light" ). I have seen women getting very nervous when they went out to a bar and find out later that his favorite skirt has become see-through and everyone can see the panties she is wearing. Again, not the kind of attention women like.

Je-sus.

"Refreshing" bursts of "purging" and "mutilation." What does that mean. According to Joe, "queer bodies" are above worrying about their weight, or any kind of abusive dynamics (as Diana surely went through during her marriage to Charles).

Lavery sees no movie without seeing himself reflected back, a perfect assurance that he is right to be sneeringly dismissive of Diana because she's well-to-do but not as cultured as Joe himself. He justifies his seething jealousy of her by talking endlessly about how very dumb he thinks she was. He is even shocked to find that the director is a heterosexual male! How could! Anyone! Share Joe's sensibilities without being him!

Even effusively praising and fetishizing Kristen Stewart is a status signal. Stewart is ... problematic in many ways and has defended pedophile Woody Allen. For the same crime, Joe advocated that his wife cut off all ties with her birth family. But Stewart is a critical darling -- particularly a European critical darling -- and she excels at becoming a cipher for audiences to project their feelings onto, so Joe can "yeah, girl!" without feeling bad. The camera allows Joe to step in as the voyeur of his own fantasies: he too is a hungry butch forced to live a life of luxury, only he can revel in it as Diana can't, because he understands fashion and the lower class!

This was probably exactly the kind of thinkpiece that the movie was meant to create, though, so kudos.
