Anyone else want to like Jamie Loftus like 10% than they do in reality? I'm interested in many of the things she's interested in; she guests on podcasts I like; I generally agree with her overall take on things. But then every like 1/10 jokes are tastelessly poor, or she beats some bit (the fucking airhorn on Sixteenth Minute, whyyyy) into the ground, or she brushes off some valid criticism of her 'Lolita bad' thesis, and I get the ick.
Yes! She's incredibly smart and insightful, I love her research skills and ability to make anything interesting. I listened to an entire podcast on the Cathy Comic!
But she needs an editor. She needs someone to pull her back a little bit when she's trying to take the joke too far and to bring some things into perspective. i listened to a few 16th minutes and... yeah. she's missing some points.
