That’s a naive and oversimplified argument.

Man, this really is just gay people 2.0 isn’t it?  I saw this “homophobic implies I’m scared of gay people” routine in the late 90s. 

Or unless I’m Dave Chappelle and someone laughs at my blackface joke in a way I don’t like, in which case I’ll decide that moral nuance in comedy exists, shut down production of my show, and go to Africa without telling anyone.

Stop being transphobic. 

I’m willing to tell you to fuck off in person. 

Hydrophobes are not literally afraid of water.

This is some deeply embarrassing shit

Too bad they aren’t as brave as in person...

If words never hurt anyone, why did every dictator in history have a propaganda department?

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me....unless it’s a blog post on avclub in which case I will make comment on the blog post on avclub while holding back tears of rage that someone would dare to make a blog post on avclub.

This kind of take is so funny to me. One person can state an opinion, and if someone disagrees and shares said disagreement, they are attack trolls, instead of also just stating an opinion in response to another opinion. It’s always people who want to be an asshole, but not be called out for it. It makes you the…

I like how, on the internet, if you say that you don’t like/agree with something, you must be “holding back tears of rage” or being outraged or hysterical or trying to censor or cancel someone, when you’re really just stating an opinion. Methinks y’all are the hysterical ones with rage boners. 

looks like we’ve got a badass here...

It’s OK to speak out against bigotry.

Or they could just avoid going to the kind of lazy, third-rate comedians who rely on cheap “LOL I TRIGGER U” humor. Which is why these people went to see John Mulaney instead, because he’s actually too talented to bother with that kind of material.

Brian Regan doesn’t joke about rape.

Totally! If I got tickets for a Jim Gaffigan show I have no right to react badly to a surprise opening by Andrew Dice Clay.

It’s not being any kind of triggered snowflake to be against bigotry. It’s not a badge of honor to say you don’t care about bigotry or the violence that trans folks face because of it. It’s not a noble cause to sneer at people who do care about their fellow humans. It’s a good thing to speak out against people are…

Being against transphobia is basic human decency.

oh come on, Mulaney’s comedy is funny but he’s never punching down at people. I don’t think if I went to his performance I would expect Chapelle to get up on stage.
