The very show the Somethingawful forums created and championed, Girlboss, has been canceled after just one (1) season!!! This is an outrage! The girlboss woman was plucky and bought jeans and sold them and that inspires me as a middle-aged fat man with hair on his back.

Variety! posted:

Sophia Amoruso, whose life was the inspiration for the series, shared the news in a series of Instagram stories on Saturday.

“So that Netflix series about my life got canceled,” she wrote. “While I’m proud of the work we did, I’m looking forward to controlling my narrative from here on out. It was a good show, and I was privileged to work with incredible talent, but living my life as a caricature was hard even if only for two months. Yes, I can be difficult. No, I’m not a dick. No, someone named Shane never cheated on me. It will be nice to someday tell the story of what’s happened in the last few years. Ppl read the headline, not the correction, I’ve learned.”

Wait who is Sophia Amoruso?

(pretend I linked that old Jezebel article or any of the dozens of other articles about how Sophia Amoruso is a top-tier shitperson.)

spoiler:

quote:

In 2014, Amoruso's autobiography #GIRLBOSS was published by Portfolio, a Penguin imprint that specializes in books about business.[18][19] In 2016, it was announced that Netflix would be adapting her autobiography into a television series called Girlboss.[20] It was cancelled after one season.[21]

In an interview with Dan Schawbel of Forbes, Amoruso admitted that she felt incompatible with the demands of being a CEO, and advised that people seeking positions as CEOs continue to seek managerial positions.[22] Although she had no managerial positions before becoming the manager of Nasty Gal Vintage, she had many previous jobs before that.

On January 12, 2015, Amoruso announced she was stepping down as CEO of Nasty Gal.[23] In November 2016, the company was reported to be filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, with Amoruso resigning as executive chairwoman.[24]

I mean they could have been a little more subtle with it, like just have a girl that happens to be a boss or something. Or like gone the other way and made it like Black Gay Skinny Lady Boss. Or like a bunch of spinoffs like Black Boss, Naked Boss, Fat Boss, Brony Boss, etc. :shrug:

If Netflix cancels your show after 1 season it must be really bad. They will give anything 2 seasons at least.

I wasn't aware this show existed until it was canceled. So my awareness of its existence only pertains to the fact it doesn't exist. There's a message in that.

You ever notice how Marc Maron is pretty good at interviewing some people and then he's terrible at everything else there is to be terrible at including not being a scumbag?
