Yeah, but then you lose the open wallet paying for your plane tickets to weddings and shit.
In fact, many domestic violence victims later stand by their abuser both publicly and privately. I don’t know who you’re talking about as the “we” that “assume” she’s being forced to do this. We have no idea. What “we” do “assume” though is that we certainly shouldn’t be giving a wife-beater the benefit of the doubt,…
He was likely not shocked by his own actions, highly doubt that was the first time.
Except along with saying he shouldn’t be fired, she literally said he “shouldn’t be written off” either (also, these semantics games are super fun and not at all a totally unimportant distraction from the real issue of people feeling like they can mock women and racial minorities with impunity).
Seriously dude. All…
Why are we calling this controversy idiotic? I’m a fat girl and I work really hard to feel good about myself. And as per usual SOME FUCKIN GUY comes along and laughs at the VERY IDEA of a fat girl feeling hot. But because it’s THIS FUCKIN GUY, I’m not supposed to think he’s a douchenozzle?
What about the misogyny, transphobia, fat-shaming, etc.?
I love how people keep saying to you “yeah but that doesn’t mean we should write him off,” even though you’ve fucking said over and over and over you don’t think he should be fired — only that the criticism for his garbage jokes is totally legitimate (which it absolutely is, because those “jokes” were lazy hot…
I miss Lindy.
Can’t forget the one that implied dudes should just punch women in the face if they reject them. That one was super funny too.
Holy shit, this article is horrible.
I'm having a tough time figuring out why the controversy was "idiotic." Sure, some conservatives took the opportunity to jump on the Daily Show and act outraged, but a lot of the criticism was good, valid and raised interesting points. The jokes weren't subversive - they were just mean. The one about marriage…
Sorry, I love Trevor Noah and I do think that the backlash was overblown, but this is ridiculously hypocritical. People aren’t idiotic for finding those jokes offensive, and to see that from this site, which loves discussing offensive things, is disappointing.
yyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppppppppppppp
PREACH.
THANK FUCKING YOU.
Some of the shit he said on Twitter was genuinely awful, and it wasn’t “idiotic” to be off-put by it. That one about fat chicks? It wasn’t even a joke... it was just pointing and laughing at fat women. It wasn’t trying to be clever or witty or anything: it was just fucking mean.
You know, I take serious issue with the fact we are calling this idiotic. The jokes he wrote weren’t funny, and they were definitely antisemitic and weirdly misogynistic for literally no reason. It didn’t even improve the stupid, shitty jokes. Had he been, say, a Republican staffer who was making inappropriate…
You know, I used to think like you.
DSK didn’t sound false to me. Seriously. Are you really saying mega rich powerful dude just wanted to have consensual sex with the middle aged woman that came in to clean his room and that she then went off to hide in a closet? It was spontaneous lust? My guess is that she knew no one would ultimately believe her and…
