With his hateful, blatantly misogynistic language that erases and silences women who aren’t transwomen, David Tennant is proving JK Rowling’s point that non-trans males will use the pro-trans position as a front to get away with blatant misogyny, because identifying as pro-trans allows him to receive special…

They’re a bunch of pearl-clutching dorks upset that Shane Gillis, who they thought they successfully cancelled, is now bigger and more successful than any of these failed writers or their favorite bland comedians.

No, the AV Club has its priorities straight. The most important topics in entertainment are: (1) Shane Gillis, (2) Bowen Yang, (3) end of list.

I’m not a big Gillis fan, but this is unfair to Sean. His questions were fine. I think you let your personal dislike of Gillis bias you too much here. 

That Netflix and producer Clerkenwell Films failed this dramatically in their duty of care toward the show’s subjects is awful.

I think he probably told them about his case in a way that seemed sympathetic (“he was 17 and 11 months! I had no idea!”) and also I think people think they’re asking the judge to be lenient, like give the guy 5 years not 10. In some cases they may not believe their friend did the thing.

No one was calling for his death. The reviewer didn’t like the episode or the host. Happens. People have been disagreeing with the AVclub reviews of SNL for close to a decade now, but now it’s special when a putatively canceled comedian is the one getting the wrong opinion? Let me reverse the self-victimization: when…

of course, but it’s who we consider Nazis that is the problem. The AVClub quite literally said Dave Chappelle put trans people’s lives in danger. that’s preposterous. how are we to have middle ground with that kind of poisonous politics? whole swathes of the population have been written off. and Gillis proves they…

Lol to the state of article writing: Eric Idle makes a claim. John Cleese speaks for the Pythons and refutes claim. Author of article rather talk about Cleese being anti-cancel culture instead of headline. Diverts article to talk about that even though it’s completely off topic instead of just writing two separate…

Please use fewer parentheses. It makes the points you’re trying to articulate come off more as tangential asides rather than anything important or worth reading, and ultimately makes the whole thing feel like an ADHD scattershot of thoughts. It’s as all over the place as the movie you’re talking about apparently is.

Two takes that I’m sure will leave me completely unflamed.

I think you’ll find that (with the exception of the Charles Rocket era), every single season is someone young’s golden age and someone else’s rock bottom, in exactle the same way that everyone thinks the best music ever came out when they were like 12-19 and that everything is terrible by the time they are in their…

It’s pretty funny when Bowen Yang does his “gay Chinese guy” character.  

HAHAHA a comedian is harmful. Fucking pussies. Carlin weeps.

Bowen Yang Unhappy About SNL Booking Nikki Haley (According To A Post He Made) And Shane Gillis (We Just Figure) - AV Club

Super brave comment. 

“It’s also unfortunate for fans of Saturday Night Live who are disappointed to see the long-running series embrace figures whose views are upsetting at best, and harmful at worst.”

I mean the joke wasn’t funny but it also wasn’t hurtful or offensive or even edgy. It was a tame joke about how popular she is and if anything the joke was about the NFL. One would hope that she can handle such a tepid joke.

Is it possible to be dumber than you?
