Let me explain this to you, since you seem to be asking why what you said is a big deal:
Let me explain this to you, since you seem to be asking why what you said is a big deal:
Sorry, what's the punchline in your joke? The one about falling down stairs? I don't get it. She gets hurt? Or was it not a joke and just a ......thing? Just a random sentence to put out to the universe, like "hey, hope this bitch gets badly hurt." For what?
Mr Lackey, You lose the right for your opinion on the subjects in question to hold any weight when you choose to respond by trolling the shit out of your opponent. I don't give a shit how you feel about misogyny in comedy because you introduced yourself into this discussion by wishing injury or death on the person…
Because she's looking for attention and doesn't care about the actual issue. Or doesn't understand the 1st Amendment. Whichever.
I hope you're funnier on stage than you are on Twitter.
Your joke was that you would like to see her fall down a flight of stairs? And you don't understand why people are upset? I'm glad your name is attached to your idiocy.
This is awesome. Thanks for proving Lindy's exact point, you crazy Twitter fucks!!!
"Overblown and ridiculous"? Wow. You need a reality check.
No no no, see all you need to do is be born into an economic class that will allow you to have the opportunities in life that will allow you and you husband to have a comfortable single income lifestyle. It's that simple. We honestly don't know how you poors keep messing it up.
Dear Republicans:
You know, after that article on Lindy and now this, just more of the same shit that all comes back to women ruining society for stepping out of their male-determined places, I'm just.. I'm just done. With all of today, I am done. I'm sick of it all, even when they backtrack, even when they say, "Oh, did I say that?…
Is anybody else troubled by the fact that even after Lindy and others have pointed out that nobody wants to censor comics in a "sanctioned by the state way" but rather in a "we're allowed to not like, and to speak out against your jokes", that there is still an utter shitstorm of "YOU CAN'T CENSOR ME!".
When these…
This is Robert Lackey, the person who said I'd like to see her fall down a flight of stairs on my Facebook. I have no idea who Lindy West is, I've never worked with her and I only know her from reading some of her writing which I have a lot of disagreements with. I made a joke about a public figure and then her…
Criticism is not the same as censorship. Comics know how to respond to criticism. Rape is triggering shame in these comics. They are coming back with censorship because they are paralyzed. They feel the shame and are trying to make it an issue of oversensitivity. Jokes that make rape funny are not jokes. They…
That isn't a contradiction. They comment on her appearance because they see talking about appearance as a way to cut someone down, but they would comment on her appearance REGARDLESS of what she actually looks like. So, no, you don't get it.
"(He later apologized—to my boyfriend, not me.)"
I know a lot of people are saying how fucked up it is that these "men" think sex and rape are the same thing but i'm not buying it. Most of them do know the difference, they just don't care. And that is fucking terrifying. And Lindy...you're a star x
