Gina Trapani is a host on “This Week in Google.” Gina Trapani is dumb. She has nothing to add and stutters her way through half-formed opinions and vacillating indecisiveness. Gina Trapani should not be supporting the sexist Leo Laporte by appearing on his program, but that is a topic for another day.
But she is married….

Please people, back off of Gina. She’s not your target here.
God knows there’s enough evil to criticize, without pulling her into the mix. She really doesn’t deserve it.
Roy» Quote comment
Oh, she deserves much more. She supports the active trolling every week by Jarvis and Leo. Plus, she doesn’t stand up for the rights of Women in Tech. Leo’s a habitual sexual harassing asshole. And Gina just sits there and stammers and giggles her way through the whole show.

This Week in Google is such a painful show to watch. None of them having anything worthwhile to say or add to any discussion about Google.

So it’s not that much different than MacBreak Weekly…

I guess. MacBreak Weekly has been getting worse and worse. Rene and Andy look like they don’t fucking care to be there. Discussions are so damn flat. It’s become a very boring show. TWiG is just plain painful. Jarvis needs to be placed in assisted living. Dementia is setting in.

No need to attack Gina, she is stuck on a show that has plenty of other fodder, focus on that. Like why is the Taylor Swift parody account funny while the Prof. Jeff Jarvis account is not.

No one is holding a gun to her head.

Why the hate on Gina? Or even Jeff? They seem like genuine people.
Keep the focus on Leo please.

Jeff has aids and Gina is nice but look at her all frumpy, tattered even greasey looking.

She’s gay, it goes with the territory. At least she spares us the plaid shirts common to lesbians.

Jarvis is a superficial fraud. All of his talk of Habermas and Gutenberg sounds impressive until you realize that his understanding is about an inch deep.
See the following for the definitive take-down of Jarvis:

I am not a ‘gina Trapani and while some say that she is not a target sadly she is.
Repeatedly she has sat there and laughed while they have trolled women with Laporte and Jarvis both making nasty deriding comments about a woman in a video. She is not free of blame, sadly she is guilty by association, she did not decry the abuse.
Not only that she, like Jarvis and Laporte, followed up their trolling by whining about being trolled. Pure Hypocrisy. Look back at the start of the trolling whinery that started just after the death of Robin Williams when they started commenting about how terrible it was that she was trolled on Twitter and started griping about how they are abused by trolls. I believe it was episode 262 that this started.
The started off by Trolling John C Dvorak with a snide comment by Leo which was applauded by Jarvis. ‘gina gave them the clap of her hands and chuckled. Immediately followed by decrying Trolling for the rest of the show (the whole of the show).
Since then almost every week has consisted of them going on about trolling while at the same time they have made trollish comments about others.
By not saying that making the comments about these people is wrong ‘gina is party to the trolling.
She cannot use the “I don’t like confrontation” excuse that she has used for why she doesn’t stand up to trolls when she is party to the act. She literally needs to grow some balls and stand up not just to being trolled but to those that she are in the group that she is in that are party to trolling.
This Week in Google is titled totally inappropriately it should be titled “THIS WEEK IN TROLLING”.
All three are valid targets, they should not throw stones in a glass house! They are just as much trolls as they are trolled.

It’s about dam time someone made these points.
It’s not like she needs the money,so why is still even on the twit network?

Screw Gina.
All she does is prostrate at Google’s feet and promote her dumb analytics site.

Seems to me that going after Gina is a bit of a reach. Are we running out of stuff to talk about regarding L&L?
David» Quote comment
Nope. Just wanted to mix it up a bit. It was time to showcase her whiney stammer. “I………I….I..I…don’t know,” she says all the time. I get tired of hearing hosts pose questions instead of answering them or not taking a stand on the issue.

Here’s a fun drinking game.. every time Gina mentions her wife or baby, take a shot. You’ll be so plastered in the first half hour that the rest of the show will actually seem tolerable. It’s not Facebook Gina. We get it.
Besides being a fraudulent faux-developer, ‘gina is also a complete hypocrite. As a SJW she was deeply offended by the sexist ad campaign by the company OnePlus which asked women to voluntarily post a picture of themselves (not at gunpoint) for a chance to purchase the phone…. but she wasn’t offended enough to replace her phone with a model not manufactured by evil, misogynistic, white, Republican males.. oh wait.. they were Chinese.. nevermind.
She’s probably the type of person that thinks changing your Twitter icon is a meaningful form of political protest. ThinkUp your ass, lady. Also, her HTC One M8 was apparently destroyed by her baby.. What kind of complete dumbass hands a $600-700 device to a 1 year old?
I suppose her trendiness pales in comparison to the communist, pseudo-intellectual CUNTY Professor Jarvis. The man literally has a Vladimir Lenin wallpaper on his phone. I sometimes wonder whether he knows less about tech or journalism. TV Guide isn’t exactly the pinnacle of journalism. The douche bag was ready to shut down the internet once someone created a parody Twitter account. I suppose trendy fascists love free speech when it isn’t critical of them.
…oh and fuck Kevin Marks and his birds.

This post is disgusting, sexist, and symbolizes everything that you all dislike about TWIT.
If there is anyone in here who is older than 20 years old then my god, figure out your life.

This post is just blind hate and seeing stuff like this makes me lose interest in this website.
noah» Quote comment
The blind hate helps to heal us all.
But it has to start with Gina. The faster she actually is able to state her own opinion without doing this: “I….I….I….I..I.I.I…….I…..DON’T KNOW,” the better.
You don’t think hate-watching is fun?
