I guess this is a good glimpse into the sort of joyless maniacs that watch Colbert in 2021. Dana Carvey is getting your dander up because he put on a gray wig and said “Listen, Jack”.

It is very funny to me that somebody who watches these types of shows is very surprised that they’d, gasp, make a MOCKERY of the PRESIDENT! That’s kind of the whole fucking game. And without watching it (note: I will never watch it) my guess would be that it was pretty gentle ribbing, probably about Biden’s propensity…

I mean, honestly, it’s mostly just random. I wouldn’t chalk it up to sexism as much as the writers here having no actual principles and just being tasked with coming up with some lightning rod ‘take’ about everything. This is just where they ended up on these two topics. If a Twitter thread went viral a week ago about…

Maybe I’ll check it out. For what it’s worth, Eighth Grade was one of my favorite movies of that year so it’s possible he isn’t as annoying as his ‘musical comedian’ shtick would suggest.

Yeah, I haven’t seen the special and I’m not a fan of Burnham, but, uh, literally invoking martyr imagery while ‘owning up’ to past mistakes feels very tongue in cheek, but nuance is not this site’s strong suit in 2021 where the median IQ of most of the staff seems to be 79.

Hey bud! Congrats - I’m glad to see you’ve dropped the forced AAVE. Growth.

It isn’t even worth @ing that guy - he’s got a severe case of 2021 brain and his response to this was completely predictable. If the roles were reversed, and a teenage Stodden had sent bullying messages to a 20-something Tiegen at the time, he’d be calling for her head even ten years later.

Stop being so dishonest. It really isn’t necessary. You must know, deep down, getting somebody fired for a decade old tweet they made as a teenager does nothing to combat racism whatsoever. Nobody was ‘concerned’ about working with McCammond - they understood, just as Davitt did, that you can gain some quick social…

I left it unsourced because you know exactly what I was talking about, but here:

Well, I very specifically cited an example of the snake eating itself on this stupid bullshit, where the woman calling for the firing was guilty of the exact same shit herself. It’s complete nonsense. I know this might hurt to hear, but digging up tweets made by somebody as a teenager, a decade prior, doesn’t equal…

No, because they’re in bad faith. Case in point - one of the dumbasses at Vogue calling for her firing was fired shortly thereafter for posting the exact same type of shit (also a long-ass time ago). It’s all performance and if you could be honest with yourself for half a second you’d realize it.

Quit pretending to be so fired up over this, you massive dork.

So you are a mid 30s white person. Me too!

I’m glad you’re big time good with it (I hope you aren’t the mid-30s white person from the suburbs I assume you are if you’re saying things like ‘big time good’). And obviously you didn’t say that part (you aren’t supposed to say it out loud), but you also said it was misogynistic without saying why, and I’ve re-read…

Sometimes women do stupid things and are deserving of criticism. Again, I understand that this is the internet in 2021 so your job is to find some weird identity-based shield to defend Grimes (of all people), but unless you can come up with something that is misogynistic about this aside from the fact that it’s…

lol, I love imagining you reading the article, putting on a little “i’m so mad!” face, checking the byline, finding out it’s not a white guy, and writing this stupid-ass, inane comment anyway.

It’d be worrying if you weren’t on AVClub, where the deepest thinkers on the internet come to talk about how Abigail Disney is a warrior for the downtrodden or how Stephen Colbert’s killer ‘orange man bad’ rant moved them to tears.

It’s definitely a shame that Janet Weiss revealed herself to be an old white man.

Eh, I think in 2021 it’s impossible to tell. Then again, everyone is doing performance art now, so...

You don’t have to pretend to be so mad.
