Why would they think that? Matt Taibbi is well-known around here.

- monocasa 6y agoThe original article they're complaining about is pretty fair, and IMO, great journalism. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/coomer-meme-no-nut-november-nofap-908676/ https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/coomer...
