I’m not gonna lie, I snorted at that. Meghan McCain trying to act all high and mighty but tripping over basic word usage is just *chef’s kiss.*
Yeah, picking and choosing content is called curating. Last year Netflix pulled a bunch of shows/scenes from their content that had blackface. Netflix already decides what is and is not appropriate content. They responded to this controversy by pointing out that they do that.
But at the end of the day... I really don’t want Netflix curating what content I watch and acting as a network censor.
I lost faith in anything Dave had to say when he accused Key and Peele of “stealing his thing” as if he invented comedy focused on the black community. The ego on this man must have grown while he was on hiatus, because I don’t see 20 year old Chappelle ever being so shallow.
If he'd done it in the opposite order, it would probably be the same result. There's plenty of examples of people saying homophobic things and getting mild responses.
But at the end of the day... I really don’t want Netflix curating what content I watch and acting as a network censor. I don’t want some suit at Netflix deciding what is or is not offensive.
I wouldn’t just blindly assume that Daphne Dorman’s story is as simple as Dave would like you to believe:
Free speech means the government can’t throw you in jail for talking against the government. Not that people can’t have an opinion about what you said. Not that you can’t be held accountable about the things you have said. No one has prevented Dave Chappelle from saying what he wants to say. His special is still being…
Oh god, don’t mention the Painted Dementor. Her cult’ll be here in a whiny second...
J.K. Rowling’s comments are having a real world effect especially in the UK right now. It’s effecting Trans People right now.
Gods, she’s just the best. And that line about “more backbone” is excellent.
The difference is a gun is a tool specifically designed to kill. Penises weren’t designed to harm anyone and unless you believe in biological essentialism (ie. are a TERF) you don’t believe men are destined to harm anyone absent toxic socialization.
Not 100% sure this is totally relevant, given that the NFL and Netflix are different organizations, but last year Netflix removed multiple episodes/scenes of shows that had blackface, but all of Dave’s specials with riffs on trans people are still up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The terf you’re referring to also only seems worried about dicks attached to trans women, not dicks on straight cis dudes. THAT'S patriarchy, baby!
A penis itself is not an inherent threat to my safety as a woman. To borrow and perhaps improve an NRA idea, people are not raped by penises, but with them. And other things, of course. There is a comment here that uses the word “dick” quite a few times and reduces all of human interaction to women’s bodies being…
To make a tangent, in the NFL a head coach had some old emails leak (when he was an employee of ESPN and not technically in the league) between him and a team executive. In these emails, a racial slur was used regarding the head of the players union, who happens to be black. There was no punishment levied, and the…
The gag is, this is moral cowardice disguised as the last brave stand. DC is a multimillionaire living in a society with people who mostly agree with him. There is nothing risky about showcasing transphobia in a transphobic society. This is not honesty. It is just cruelty. Trans people should not have to be subjected…
