RIP.

This is such a terrible decision. I agree with absolutely everything Adam says below. These are three of the best writers around.

Also, the fact that he chose to cap that list off with Cassie Ventura - wow. There are a lot of disgusting men in this world, but he’s top ten for sure (if we’re making lists)
