I think it's pretty obviously a joke... one aimed at the people they perceive to be their harshest critics, no doubt.

If you look at the articles, it's pretty obvious they're taking the piss (sitting down of course). But at who, exactly? The NYMag "Beta Male" column, obviously, but I thought they hated traditional masculinity, and liked that kind of nu-male. I also doubt they would have the humility to mock their own liberal beliefs using an alt-right meme.

Is it some meta parody of parodies of liberals, an excuse to shit on men in general for having opinions, beta self-flagellation, Denton losing his mind, or simple spite at a more successful, not financially-assraped publication? Maybe all, maybe none, but definitely cucked.

I think you're putting more thought into it than the writers did.

Yeah, this is either them being outrageous for clicks as their company falls apart around them (so standard Gawker), or them saying what they really believe but wrapping it up in layer upon layer of parody as a defense mechanism.

So bullying was brought back and now Denton is pleading specifically for the person who wanted it to be brought back? LOL.

Looks like by declaring bankruptcy, both Gawker and Denton have left AJ Daulerio responsible for the entirety of Hogan's $115 million in damages. Daulerio is the editor who said under oath he'd publish the sex tape of anyone over age 4.

A judge just froze his checking account, which contains the entirety of his assets aside from personal effects, until the next hearing on Halloween. It's worth $1500 dollars :story:

Dumbass, it was never about them. It was never about the company, never about your employees, it was always and forever about you. You probably realize that and you're trying to paint yourself as a kind, caring, and sensitive man, but no one's buying what you're selling. Anyone with even a passing interest looks into this and sees that you fucked over both Hogan and Thiel, and they came together in a tag-team superstar matchup to give you the leg drop-YOU. Not Gawker. Not your employees. You, Nick Denton, were the target. Everything else was just collateral damage.

Nick Denton isn't reading this.

This just keeps getting better and better.

Thank you, Hulk Hogan and Peter Thiel. At least you two made something good happen in 2016.

That's called joint and several liability. Any defendant is guilty for the whole shebang, at least for the things they were all found liable for. That makes it easy (well easier) for a plaintiff to just go for whoever has the deepest pockets and then if that defendant wants, he can go sue the other defendants while the plaintiff is off in Aruba or something.

Pretty sure in this case they're spending more than it's conceivably worth to collect against this broke dick loser just to fuck with him, though. Maybe he'll be pissed enough at the betrayal he offers to help go after Denton himself.

As I understand it, they're going after Daulerio because in his contract with Gawker, it clearly states that Gawker will cover all judgements from lawsuits on his behalf. So they're still trying to screw over Gawker through Daulerio, specifically, his contract with Gawker.

The gossip blog is such “a PR problem” that some bidders have suggested they’d pay more if the company’s namesake site weren’t included in the package of sites on sale, two sources close to the sale process told The Post.

Literally nobody wants Gawker the site. Sounds like ZD just wants to take Gizmodo and whatever else they can salvage into a "lifestyle brand" site and trash the rest.

I hope Univision gets it. If Ziff Davis wins, Nick Denton gets a cushy $200k/year job.
