If you haven’t worked in a year, not because you can’t, but because you “turned a lot of things down,” then you don’t get job benefits.  This is not evidence that we’re living in a dystopia.

What is the nature of the connection you are drawing, then? Or is it purely speculative?

Please show us how Dave Chapelle is the problem that yields discriminatory legislation.

Yeah, well, I’m trying to point that out without coming off as unduly angry about it. I’m not angry about it, but we badly need regulation of social media so that this kind of behavior gets ratcheted down, in my opinion.

I know, you are more of a Hannah Gadsby fan

Yes. You can say that, and you should, if you feel compelled to.

Dr Baby’s response to you tells you everything you need to know about the way this discourse always plays out. If you don’t agree with the leaps in logic that it takes to arrive at “jokes = harm”, then you’ll be labeled a nazi. Modern progressive purity, via the toxicity of social media, is a bane on people’s ability…

This is the kind of thing we have to stop doing. Dave Chapelle is funny, says funny things, and makes jokes. Some of those jokes hit, some of those jokes feel a little dated now or maybe don’t work well with the way some people’s values have changed, but it’s just comedy. He isn’t out there advocating for anything…

Love the fake outrage by ppl. He’s a comedian. Sorry there are no protected classes in actual comedy.

Slaps is what people say when they don’t really have much interesting to say about music, isn’t it?

Oh, I thought it was a guy cuz Blake sounds like a man's name. 

White American women must be some of the most privileged human beings to have ever lived if so many of them can get so outraged over nonsense like Ryan Gosling stealing Margot Robbie’s Oscar nomination.

You are kinda being an asshole, though.

Film nerds,

Good for you, that’s nice that you would apologize if you felt bad. I’m struggling to see how this joke is “too mean.” It is the lamest of jokes that isn’t even accurate in its premise. Had the joke been racist, misogynistic, insensitive, broadly offensive, then sure, I would have said that would be grounds for…

OK, I get it. You’re just an asshole. Well, I’ll leave you with this, if you’re even reading what I write: the primary reason I think this season is bullshit, above all nitpicking, is because it’s a series that’s flirted for 3 seasons with supernatural elements, keeping them at the fringes— and now it JUST SO HAPPENS…

There was never any supernatural elements in True Detective. There were references to stories of the supernatural, but there was nothing actually supernatural. I’m not sure why you’re hyperfixating on that, considering it was a small part of the whole criticism.

Ah, yes, you’ve cracked the case— your baseless presumption of my gender and ancestry grant your opinion the status of “correctest”! If it’s not Michael Mann’s Heat, I detest it! You’re the TRUE True Detective! Which sticker do you want as a reward, the one-eyed polar bear or the psychic white lady?

That is indeed a thing that happens sometimes with some people, but not this time, and never with me. All sentences but one in my original comment state concrete reasons for why I think this was objectively bad television. If you’re telling me you think that’s not critique, I’ll send you a free dictionary.

I appreciate the corroboration about the inaccuracies. I was living in Fairbanks when they canned the film and tv incentives program & mentally poured one out for it when I heard they were shooting this season in Iceland. Hope the winter’s treating you alright up there.
