I have two notes on that piece:

  1. Holy crap, Jim Spanfeller is still alive and employed? I had genuinely not considered that posibility in ages.
  2. My instinct was that "shaped the way the Internet talks about women" is a very anglocentric thing to say, but it's actually not wrong. It just says more about cultural imperialism than feminism.

I feel like people don’t understand what “long live” means.

Beyond the masthead, the comment section was secretly teeming with talent — I’ve met dozens of women in prominent jobs in media and entertainment who have confessed that they know me from my days of pseudonymous commenting, because they were there, too. Jezebel’s fingerprints are everywhere.

The king is dead, long live the king!

Yes, the original phrase is meant to announce a death and immediately proclaim a successor. The two elements are juxtaposed to emphasize the continuity of a lineage, leaving no room for doubt about transfer of power. In a single breath, one reign ends and another begins.

For example when Queen Elizabeth died, some people commented “The Queen is dead, long live the Queen” when it would have been more appropriate to say “The Queen is dead, long live the King.”

Jezebel is dead, and it has no successor. That certainly calls for a commemoration of its impact in a fond eulogy. But sadly we cannot yet celebrate a new Jezebel.
