Oh and just a head’s up, since you seem so obsessed with her comment history, if you had gone another page or two back you would’ve seen that she’s ID’d herself as black multiple times here. So, have fun being a jerk, I guess?

That is literally what you said. I get that you don’t like the commentor and that you think they’re lying, but in your own words you wrote “if you are what you say you are”. How many other ways are there to read that? I’m not defending them, I’m taking exception to how you decided to respond to their assertion that…

I’m saying it’s gross to tell a black woman that she needs a history lesson and a two by four to the head.

What the fuck? Like, your apprehension is warranted, I guess, but if you’re seriously telling a black woman (“if you are as you say your are”) she needs a “history lesson and a two by four to the head” you aren’t any fucking peach either. Christ.

That kinda seems like a semantics argument, though. When I hear “wedding” I do *not* think going down to the courthouse. That’s why people say “I don’t want a wedding, but I’d like to get married someday”. Of course there are small weddings and big weddings but I’m guessing whassa knows a courthouse marriage is a…

“some other guy did it”

Is there any indication she talked about either of those things? I'm not seeing it in the page six article.

Was definitely referring to the clip itself! I don’t think cultural appropriation is necessarily the correct term here but that’s not a hill I want to die on. Much in the same way blackface and yellowface is flat out racism, I think this is really again more akin to misogyny. Cultural appropriation would be more like…

And it’s totally fair that you feel that way. I agree that most of the humor would remain if it was a woman playing the role. But it just always gives me pause when I see guys playing on these stereotypes for laughs. I think for some people, there’s just always going to be an intrinsic level of absurdity and humor…

Ha, for what it’s worth, it’s not that I didn’t grow up on this stuff. I love John Cleese too. But I’ve seen how these ideas about gender and femininity have led to actual people getting seriously hurt, and it makes me sad that the average person can’t (or refuses to) discern the difference between “guy in a dress”…

I don’t know how sincere you are but I do think shit like this is transmisogyny because it enforces the idea that womanhood is just a costume that dudes wear to be funny. I know people here don’t like hearing that, because there’s a long and well loved tradition of male comedians doing drag for laughs. But yeah, I…

I thought that was evident, since they give examples that wouldn’t be applicable to american personnel. But as you said, still really horrific/fucked up

I don’t know if he and Brian were really together, but John absolutely terrorized him. He was a homophobic jerk on many an occasion, if the big ol Beatles biography I read can be believed.

Yeah, I acknowledge his point, but it seems callous at best to say that’s the “saddest” thing about dozens of women being raped.

Awful any way you look at it. That poor baby, too.

I completely disagree. Consumer protection laws are important and they only exist because people try to hold these companies accountable. That doesn’t mean every suit has good merits, but I hate this idea that we shouldn’t bother regulating companies because everyone should just take care of their own shit. That’s not…

Congratulations. I presume you don’t speak for everyone though!

Uh, it's obviously more expensive, and more likely to be thrown away by kids

Sometimes we have to pass paternalistic laws to help keep people with no common sense safe. Doesn't mean that this will warrant that, but it's not absurd to try.

Because it's wrong for companies to intentionally mislead consumers. This is how consumer protection laws are created, through litigation.
