That’s...fucked up.  
Smol caveat-Cars being pulled by goats isn’t racist. Thor’s chariot is pulled by goats, which I would assume is the reference, not that South Asgard is so broke-down that no one’s car works.

Yeah, reading transcripts is a great way to judge nuances in inherently verbal forms of communication.

Unfortunately hate speech is protected speech. Remember Charlottesville? They were granted a protest permit by the city and none of those tiki torch dudes were arrested until they killed someone:

Fucking thank you! I watched the special. I love stand up comedy. It is one of my favorite things ever. Did I agree with everything Dave said? No. Is Dave transphobic? NO!

I was going to sit this one out, because I did watch the special, and I am able to understand both context and subtext as a rational adult. And it seems a lot of the context and subtext went out the window with most people. America post-2016 is alive and well.

I think this is just how the internet enjoys things now. Your narcissistic side has to present to the public as shocked and outraged, but there’s no one keeping you from watching it in secret at home. I think once people feel like they have publicly paid indulgence they can go enjoy things they find sinful.

Yes, they are comparable situations. In one situation where it was easy, Netflix defended free speech. In other situations where it was difficult, they abandoned free speech without a care in the world.

Having a different opinion on the gender debate isn’t denying the existence of anyone, no matter how much you want it to be.

Agreed on your second paragraph, but freedom of speech isn't freedom of platform.

Dave’s special isn’t hate speech. I know you almost certainly understand that. Maybe you think people having a different opinion to you is hateful, but it isn’t.

They’re absolutely right to defend this on free speech grounds. It’s scary how the art of not watching something you don’t want to watch has all but disappeared and sometimes it feels like we’ve reached a turning point where the left are calling for huge corporations to police speech. The special shouldn’t be taken…

Kenya Barrisis is messy.

Nothing  have watched by Barris indicates he would want an "edgy home." I stopped watching Grown-ish, so maybe iI missed it.

Dude shows so much contempt for dark skin black women in his work. He’s a classic colorist in every sense; and the damage he’s inflicted on our community.

Did he purposefully miss the point? Norman Lear didn’t name all of his shows variations of the same name. It’s the *naming* that people are joking about. I suppose we should keep in mind he’s an artist and he’s sensitive about his ish.

Don’t quote me on this, but I believe a move must be completed in INTERNATIONAL competition for it to be recognized in the code of points and named after an athlete. When she does this at the Olympics (if they happen, fingers crossed) it would become known as The Biles if no one else has completed it, but I think men…

I’ll say this for Zack Snyder, as dumb as he seems to be in interviews, he’s done a tremendous job of convincing the world that a crappy film with his name on it was completely the fault of some other guy.

They might’ve thought they hit CTRL-C with Nolan having his producer credit on Man of Steel, but Snyder couldn’t CTRL-V the Dark Knight trilogy worth a damn. They didn’t know that what they’d copied was actually Snyder’s Watchmen, just without Dave Gibbons’s storyboards or Alan Moore’s dialogue.

Okay. I’m not wholly DISagreeing, but can we acknowledge that Christopher “Fuck You Plebs, Go Get COVID at the Theater” Nolan’s (Grim)Dark Knight Thrillogy is also to blame for the DCEU aesthetic? Those master(bation)pieces made WB a ton of money so of course they hit CTRL-C CTRL-V on that shit.

the blame for the debacle that is Justice League lies squarely with the studio execs. They wanted a light and fun movie ala The Avengers, then they hired Zach Snyder to direct it and gave him carte blanche. Then somehow they were shocked that he was making a grimdark slog, just like every single other movie he’s ever…
