Mature and necessary response from Polly IMO. We can still enjoy GFOTY even if she's now a confirmed 'character', but this was a situation that warranted an apology.

It is good that she's apologised. I'm not in a position to say whether it's a sufficient one, but between this and just ignoring it, she's made the right decision.

I was surprised that she broke character because up to this point she's been so committed to this persona for like, YEARS now. But I'm glad she did apologize. The whole "satirizing racism by being racist" trope is tired, misguided and almost never works as intended. I'm relieved she didn't try to defend that statement because it would not have gone well.

Better article title: "So here's our description of QT with no actual descriptive language about the drink."

I'm actually curious if the title to that is meant to be literal; I couldn't actually find any reference to the drink.

I'm actually curious if the title to that is meant to be literal; I couldn't actually find any reference to the drink. The last paragraph is about as descriptive as it gets "Of course most people probably didn’t pay 20 dollars for a can of QT—packaged in a plexiglas display box and personally sprayed with rosewater by QT herself—in order to drink it. Its advertised guarantee to "contribute to upward shine, vertical connectivity and personal growth" for the purchaser, which doesn’t come from the taurine and caffeine inside, but from the totemic power that the whole object’s infused with. If you’re only looking to elevate your heart rate and anxiety levels, there are plenty of other products that do the job better and don’t taste as weird."

"taste as weird" nice description of the taste
its funny because pitchfork can write flowery language bullshit for miles but when they actually write an article about describing something, they fucking cant
