My younger brother is in his mid-30s and he and his girlfriend moved in with my mom to help her out after we lost my dad to cancer last year, so you can fuck right off with this smug, shitty take.

This is an astoundingly shitty take. 

If I had the bones, I would hella buy a house big enough to put me and my parents in. I love my parents! They’re cool!

Also Pete Davidson is cute and funny and seems like a nice boy.  So there.

This website is really mean about Pete Davidson, who largely seems like a nice enough person. 

SNL isn’t his only gig. He tours as a comedian, and appears in other TV shows and films. Dude bought his mom a nice house and is staying with her because it’s probably a safe, stable space for him. A real monster. 

Guy buys a house with his mom and an internet gossip hater shits on him. Maria, you are a douchebag.

Reads like someone who has never dealt with complex mental illness and/or had a parent who understood them to keep them stable in times of hardship. Seriously weird thing to dig at somebody for. Do what you gotta do to keep yourself functional as possible is my motto. Seems he’s doing that. 

So, forget the fact that Pete’s father was killed in a very tragic and traumatic event, and that kind of shock changes the dynamics of surviving family members like him and his mom.

Well, and the part that I find so toxic (I shudder to use this word, but it seems apt) about the attitude is how it displays this obsession with Davidson—and presumably this is supposed to hold for the average dude—demonstrating worthiness for female attention entirely through material means. And then we turn around…

That would assume that anyone at Jezebel is capable of exhibiting the level of humanity, understanding, and empathy that they expect from everyone but themselves.

Hot tip:

It’s been proven that strong family ties are incredible boosters for mental health and a long life.

At what point are we allowed to mention that Pete Davidson is constantly being bullied and this is shitty? Duder is hella mentally ill and doesn’t seem like a bad person and I kinda hate the way he keeps getting publicly shit on and think he could legit kill himself as someone with two suicide attempts Of my own I…

I said this in a comment that will probably say in the grays because Dirt Bag is no longer that fun and therefore is less popular, but I live with my mom because (like Pete) I have a serious, chronic mental illness. I am also employed and we share living expenses. But no one cares about me as much as my mom does, and…

He also bought the house for his mom. The frequency of his jokes involving his mom are pretty solid evidence that they’re very close. I know that if I were single and bouncing from woman to woman in my mid-twenties, recovering from addiction, fighting crippling depression and Crohn’s Disease, I’d probably go live with…

He’s definitely made a joke on SNL’s Weekend Update about he and his mom having an awkward moment, then after the laugh he adds an aside that “It’s okay, I bought her a house.”

Plus it certainly sounds like a little stability could help him after his roller coaster of a last two years - addiction treatment, mental health issues, constant reporting on his romantic life.

Why is he worthy of mockery though? I don’t get why this kid inspires such vitriol in people. The only male celebrities I’ve seen get this kind of reaction are the ones who are popular with teenage girls, and it’s like they’re teenage girls by proxy. 

So what? Maybe he likes his mom? Maybe she keeps him grounded. I truly think that people who haven’t lost a parent can’t understand how much that experience makes you value the one you have left.

It also sounds like he helped his mom buy a house...
