Huh? I'm MC and I don't see anything astounding in that photo. The lack of diversity is a faux pas for sure but come on, I don't see extreme peivilege or excess.

Also "under the guys" is hilarious. Not seeing a set a guys I'd like to be under, in there.

Not sure if the above is true or not.

Funny how nobody is calling out Jimmy Kimmel. Even though it's been pointed out several times it's his party and she was a guest. Why is that?

Jake Tapper looks old AF. I didn't even recognize him!

Creepy that nearly all are warring some shade of blue. I’m outraged!

Lol

The guys of minimalism? Is that three dudes who refuse to have any knickknacks in their houses?

He wears a ton of makeup on CNN so no surprise you wouldn't recognize him in his natural state.

Wow. Unrecognizable.

It could only be worse had there been a POC in the background of the photo serving them the food.

Guys! guys! guise took three tries to get it to spell correctly when using dictation!

I am going to need one of you dictation posters to do an AMA at some point. Like you’re just saying responses out loud to your phone where people can hear you? DCUM is not your secret shame?

Anyone who feels so compelled to respond to DCUM posts that they have to dictate responses is . . . well, something.

Jimmy Fallon is aggressively unfunny and untalented, so even a slightly above average talent like Kimmel is unlikely to be threatened by him.

Fallon is in the position he's in primarily because of his skill at kissing corporate and celebrity a$$es. I bet this was a very productive dinner for him!

Lol I am working in a public space right now and when I opened my laptop it was on this page and I literally snapped it shut and looked around before reopening it because I do not want coworkers to know I do this. Even the stupid celebrity gossip threads! I prefer to pretend I only vaguely know what DCUM is. "Oh yeah, is that the site where people bicker about schools? I think I used it to find our daycare years ago..."

They were invited guests. Is she supposed to ask for guest lists in advance and determine whether it meets her minimum melanin requirement (MMR, the most important DEI metric, apparently)?

I don't even like KB and Dax Shepherd. I think she's a charming actress but their public personas are annoying to me, and I can't stand his podcast. But criticizing them for this photo is INSANE to me. We've just driven off a cliff in the name of diversity here and now we can manufacture outrage about anything.
