Some Twitter users defend The Onion’s misogynistic ‘c**t’ joke

But the joke is that she's innocent. That's the joke. RT @AdamSerwer: Far and away the biggest fail of the night: http://t.co/q4tLsx8S92

@catswithbats I saw and it was tasteless – but that's the Onion's thing. Satire and sometimes tasteless is their thing. #shrug

The Onion is not "the media", it's a parody/satire site which contains no real factual news, just interpretations of it.

The Onion joke is a joke ABOUT Oscar bitchiness, not about Quvenzhané Wallis. Nobody actually thinks a 9 year old is a cunt. That's the joke

Yall do realize The Onion isn't real, right? Its satire. Keep calm and take a joke.

@embeedub @TheOnion Ummmm, I think that's the joke.

@rachmoonnn Well I disagree. That's the joke, it being ridiculous to refer to a child as that.

@KellyAnnCosgrov Fair enough. Don't agree (I also thought Deveney's Bindi comments were fine, FWIW) but understand your position.
