putting it as pithily as possible: does the OP have a point that giving lip-music that BB was not gay or trans was just a weaksauce excuse to indulge in harmful myths and misconceptions? Like “this villain happens to eat the blood of christian babies, lend money at usorious rates, and have a hooked nose, but we…

Part of the tragedy of these films is what we did to ourselves and each other over them, quoting “put the lotion in the basket” in a demonic exaggerated lisp and cackling at it...not being funny: how must that feel to the men who own toy poodles and speak with a lisp and who were already being demonized as likely…

I think he is intentionally playing to either an emotionally stunted audience at this point or to actual teenage boys (and pandering to their base impulses). I always think about the moment we realized Sleigh Bells wasn’t just writing songs for adults to be nostalgic about their high school days and give them…

I agree! That’s one of the great routines of all time. I understand there is a “am I making these jokes and getting laughs from non-minorities because they’re like ‘yeah minorities are like that!’ vs. ‘is that laughter of identification’” question for a lot of comedians but Chappelle was never even close to: “black…

the first one is one of those songs where you sing along with it and only years later did I understand how harmful the lyrics could be to hear someone singing along with them.  I never meant them, I never felt that way in my life, it’s just a song...Cuomo is a dweeb so I never really thought he meant them either…

I have long been haunted by the idea that the laughter Chappelle heard from, was it a white crew member, that drove him away from Chappelle’s Show...might have been laughter of identification and recognition rather than reductive derision. For example, Chappelle has great bits where he owns that some stereotypes are…

I’m bringing you in out of the grays so I can say “whoops”

“You are a sixteen year-old girl”

Track 1: We Might Be The Best Band Ever
Track 2: Someday We Will Find This Problematic
Track 3: Generica
Track 4: Someday We Will Find this Highly Underrated
Track 5-infinity: Couldn’t You Try Harder? (This is Getting Embarrassing)

sounds to me like the importance of her role was giving the writers cover and giving you cover to say they addressed things they didn’t, always an important role

Or you are reading those complaints in a biased manner because of your inaccurate preconceptions and the character is thinly-conceived and poorly written. You know, pick ‘em. Was she “recognizably human” just because she was not awful? Because she was never given an inner life, and much of the point is that she was…

They had no idea what to do with her.  It seems like they hired her to bang Richard, then they at least realized that was lame, then they were like “I guess we have to make her good at her job?” but they never came close to having anybody who could give her a voice or make her some kind of counterpart to Richard with…

this whole thing looks like it would work best if it was...not live action? like enhanced reality maybe? I mean...Kevin Hart as Roland is...not good.  I’m wondering if Dwayne Johnson is going to be cast as Brick and they’ll reveal this is a Jumanji sequel.

the voice actress who plays Tiny Tina is sooooo good, from her imdb it looks like she works all the time, which is as it should be

would that make blackeyed peas the american coldplay?

Can Latif play Clem as a nu-klingon?

I disrespectfully disagree (thumbs nose)

I agree with this article, it wasn’t just TJ Miller, Monica was a prop and the show quickly rounded the corner from “reflecting” to “perpetuating”

three cheers

exactly the comment I came here to make, those schmucks who let everybody down really let her down badly
