The big difference being they at least provided enough context to make what they were doing obvious. It didn’t always work (sometimes they went too far for context to make a difference), but it was always clear what the angle was, which is the only way this brand of “ain’t I a stinker” comedy can possibly work.

I like how this is the problem and not a father who can’t just feed his kid

He wrote an apology note and hid it inside one of those finger trap puzzles. He’s currently filming her trying to retrieve it as part of his upcoming tv show that he swears will be hilarious.

I completely agree. I do Facebook my kids (5 and 2) because they’re super cute, but it’s always nice stuff. I know a lot of people joke about hitting their kids and how they need a smack and this and that and I’d never joke about that because, as this guy learned, abuse is a real thing that happens to kids, and…

From the apology:

What kind of person thinks child abuse has comedic effect?

Nah. He can extensively ‘contextualize’ and ‘mea culpa’ with the hindsight of someone called out by social media, but it doesn’t change the fact that he thought for quite awhile that insulting Jews, praising Hitler, and mocking Black people was “being an ally”.

uhhhhhh can we talk about how EVEN IF the story was exaggerated (which was not his claim at the time but okay whatever) he was still basically making fun of his kid behind her back and calling her dumb?

Not sure what Soderbergh has planned, and I’ve always been a huge fan of his work.

Oh shit I’m sorry.   I hope everything’s okay.

It had no soul, just like the real life version. 

So, basically,burneraccountbutburnerlikepot, you’re saying “It’s okay to be trans — so long as you don’t have any rights! Including the right to feel safe anywhere....”

Number one, fuck off.

Number two, you’re just wrong. She’s cracked jokes, been critical af, and argued against the basic human rights of trans people. If simply saying “you’re not a woman” to a trans-women isn’t denying the validity of trans-people’s experiences, literally what is, you massive dipshit. There is nothing…

Man, you either don’t know how to read or you hit your head, because none of that matches what Rowling’s written. She’s done the classic slippery slope of “if trans people can use gendered bathrooms, anybody can-including molesters!!!” She’s made claims that there’s a notable amount of people who transition so they…

OK, but also everything you said was wrong.

Wow what a pile of shit this thread is!

“Empathy without threat of abuse for me, harassment and hate crimes for thee.”

It’s not weird. It’s visiting old friends.

Right. Far as I’m concerned, the spread of the virus and the fall of society as a result was the best part of the whole book.
