I’m not Gen Z, but I share the sentiment. It’s not that I don’t like romance and a great erotic scene, but I find it tiresome that romance must always be the default between two characters with compatible orientations. It’s really fun to just watch people be friends.

Yeah, I think the issue here is that most people expect a stand-up act to be embellished for the purpose of making it funnier, not to increase empathy for the speaker (except to the extent that it helps with the former goal) or as an attempt to offer critiques of real issues like racism and xenophobia.

I don’t really…

Where can we see this video and picture evidence for ourselves?

I disagree. John Oliver, Bill Maher, Trevor Noah are still doing stand ups right now. And there is no way a 100% of their stand up shows are true stories.

This Hasan Minhaj story will blow over and he will probably adjust the kind of stories he tells. This whole debacle was not something started by the public, it was…

“embellishing a victimhood situation for sympathy” has been like 90% of all stand-up comedy since it was invented

“standup comedian embellishes details for sake of comedy.” News at 11.

You can't be a news anchor and a storyteller, period.  

This is just an attack on comedians who are also working on news shows.

Basically it’s a big “you’re going to have to choose between the two, either you are acomedic news show host or you’re a comedic storyteller, but you can’t be both.”

Is the Jonathan Majors tide turning in his (and Disney’s) favor?

Let the record show that I’ve always been a vocal supporter of my lifelong friend Jonathan Majors (unless the tide turns against him again, in which case I never supported him and don’t even actually know him. And I was also well aware from the very…

Yes but does he defend himself in song while playing a ukulele?

Yikes. I know Marvel likes twists, but this whole ‘the-worst-Kang-variant-is-the-actor-who-plays-him’ concept is going a little too far.

That’s like saying Miles shouldn’t be able to wear a dashiki because he’s not from Africa. As for the mixed race and not Wakandan argument, society sees mixed race Black folks as Black. Afro-Cubans? Black. Afro-Puerto Ricans? Black. My son will be seen as Black first and foremost, even though my wife is Mexican.

Miles is, however, zero percent colonizer. Unlike Peter.

This doesn’t mean much. Eras is a family-friendly concert film that parents are bringing their kids to and that fans are seeing multiple times. Killers of the Flower Moon is a 3.5 hour adults-only drama about disturbing (but important) historical events that many people are waiting to be released for streaming. 

Yeah. Dissing Marvel movies is kicking a hornet’s nest, but going after Swifties is just signing a death warrant.

He would make far more enemies if he criticized Taylor Swift than he ever did with superhero movies.

Google “the Last Waltz” before you embarrass yourself again

I’d reckon that choosing to do half-naked dance videos is a bit of a relief for her rather than being forced to do nearly-wholly-naked dance performances

People just need to admit that there’s some supremely evil people on both sides of the conflict. Hamas are pieces of shit but quite frankly so is the state of Israel. The west has given them a free pass for far too long because they don’t want to be seen as anti-semetic but the state of Israel should not represent…
