The weirdest shit about Chapelle’s schtick is how he obviously equates and frames the LGBTQIA community with whiteness, with no idea how his rhetoric can harm queer people of color. I don’t know if it’s purposeful or if it’s ignorance (probably some combo of both), but it’s almost comically clear that he is unwilling…

So I’ve been mulling this over a lot, and I think I figured out the three things that are the most wrong about Dave’s approach on this.

Here’s a story.
 
My brother-in-law got a Labrador puppy, and I told him from the jump that I could tell she was smart. When she first came home, she kept peeing and pooping on the floor; obvious no-no. So my brother-in-law bought a crate without a roof, essentially, to keep her in when she’s home alone. And while he…

I wasn’t planning to guffaw loud enough in my office for my co-workers to look at me funny today, but damn it, you made me do it.

I had a family friend tell me when I was like 12 years old that nothing good ever follows the word “but”.

Yeah, it’s pretty much never gonna happen. Especially given that, while Ford ain’t exactly broke, their car sales aren’t lighting the world up, and the last thing they need is for a Japanese or a Korean car company to 1.) make police vehicles, and 2.) make them way more reliable than anything Ford could put together…

But I thought that was part of Luke’s broader point about why the Jedi needed to die, and why he’d consider it a moment of weakness; ultimately, for all the talk of how good and benevolent and wise the Jedi are, their only solution to the Sith has always been to kill them, even though killing them only ever led to…

I mean, the end times are here, no one wants to talk to the manager, and the floor manager Susan is in self-quarantine. Are you NOT gonna fuck the radio under those circumstances?

Star Wars Fans: TFA is okay, but it’s kinda too much like A New Hope and is way too safe, what about actually exploring some of the mythos?

Sometimes I feel like the biggest thing that the internet has done to discourse of movies and franchises like this is simply that everyone feels like they have to have an opinion on something. And not merely an opinion, but, like, a 20 page thesis about why something is good or bad. TLJ spawned a cottage industry of…

The biggest problem with Dave is that he acts like people called him out on his bullshit and it ruined his life. Like, he says that in his specials; that his jokes about trans people and sexual assault ruined his life.

On the Luke thing...I mean, Obi-Wan and Yoda straight up told him he had to kill Vader,and he came about as close as possible to actually killing Vader and very nearly did give into his anger. In the end he rejects it and sees hope for his father, but...

I mean, I know it’s largely subtext or whatever...

See, I see that line from Luke less as idolizing Anakin and more of him not really having a good reason to be a Jedi. It’s less “my dad was a hero” and more “well my Dad was a Jedi and I guess I have to be one too, now.It’s like an excuse; if you asked alternate universe Luke why he was staying on Tattooine and being…

It wasn’t my intention to imply Luke did well in his first fight with Vader. I mean, he did better than he had any right doing considering Vader could’ve just murked him, but clearly he was just toying with Luke.

Thanks for the clarification.

1.) Rey’s parentage was probably going to be just a plot point that was resolved (Rey’s parents are nobody scavengers and she’s been clinging to a hope she knows isn’t going to become a reality) until a vocal minority of angry basement dwellers got BIG MAD on the internet demanding that she has to be related to a…

The only knowledge we have of Luke “flying spacecraft” is the aforementioned bullseying womprats in his T-16 landspeeder, and him telling Han he’s a good pilot. There’s literally no explanation for Luke being able to fly an X-Wing into a space battle...just as there’s functionally no explanation for Rey being able the…

Yeeaaaah, I’ma call “bullshit” on this one.
