Yes, there’s always an absolute fever-pitched mass hysteria whenever a new Derek Jacobi joint hits the cinemas!

Armie Hammer’s having some old friends for dinner - he’d love to invite you, but it’ll cost you an arm and a leg! Just don’t show up late, or he’ll give you the cold shoulder.

Her tweet shouldve been “ill talk however i want, you dont like it, go fuck yourself.” I wish people would stand up to this relentless PC whining.

I don’t disagree with that assessment, and nor is the irony lost on me that the ostentatious, hyper-performative “progressive” would accuse Awkwafina of a kind of ostentatious, hyper-performed speech just for talking like they're from the place that they're from.

I mean, isn’t having someone’s speech patterns defy what one what expect based on appearances a fairly common comedy trope?

I don’t think he is racist. I do think he is a believer in latching onto the most hardline progressive viewpoint available at any given moment without applying a lot of examination to it. So, cultural appropriation = bad. Full stop. Anything that looks like appropriation definitely is. Anyone that does it is…

Whenever people are clutching pearls about AAVE, they never do a good job of explaining to anyone how making up words and then scolding white people for embracing something that gets deeply ingrained within our culture is reasonable, necessary, or important. Instead, we get furious harassment, endless overstatement of…

This is gonna blow recog’s racist little mind:

Holy shit, you’re whiter than a Klansman’s hood. 

Thank you for that articulate and clear statement. Here is my rebuttal:

No, it doesn’t.

People will think whatever they think about Joe Rogan, but twitter accounts like this really do away with the facade that they’re “just looking to combat misinformation or protect marginalized communities.” They’re digging a decade-plus back into his archive to find sound bites that make him look as bad as they can—a…

Well, Awkwafina isnt actively “doing” anything, she is just talking how she has learned to talk over the course of her life. She isnt imitating anything, thats...just how she talks. She is just a new target for people to be angry at.

First Akwafine thought, first time I heard her talk (Crazy Rich Asians) I thought she was doing a Miley Cyrus impersonation so that’s my take on her voice.

I want to give you more stars just based on what, in my humble opinion, is the most perfectly leveled accusation of chucklefuckery I’ve ever read.

Can we maybe not shill for this chucklefuck?

Just curious, but: where in the “interview” does he say these things you’re mentioning? That article is a whole lot of editorialization and very few actual quotes from the man himself, outside of what I quoted.

It must be utterly bizarre as a famous person to have a regular, fairly chill conversation with a reporter and then have the general understanding of your remarks condensed into the least charitable interpretation of a single sentence. I get that it’s just part of being a public figure these days, but I’d find it…

“I don’t need your fancy-pants diplomas, pal. I got my degree at the college of Being a Real American!”

From the article linked in the tweet:

Well apparently Cannes is less of a boy's club than the AVC considering there's exactly zero female directors in your top 50 films of the 90s.
