Honestly I find it hilarious that the kind of goober that says “git gud” is being told by a dev to git gud.

 Not disagreeing with you. But. The full quote is “The customer is always right in matters of taste.” Again, not disagreeing. Just pointing out the full quote because people almost always get it wrong and then use it incorrectly.

You’ve mistaken what I said. Mulaney fans who are defensive about his loss of fandom due to outside behavior are the “big swinging dick dudes”. And that opinion IS wrong. To take the position that John Mulaney “should not” have lost fans because of their parasocial relationship with him is wrong. People can stop…

Stats or STFU.

Well aren’t you such a gifted prognosticator?

Yeah, that’s what I find interesting about the title! The implication is that yes, she is “crazy” per the outdated, biased term but that state is in large part due to treatment by men, who have traditionally used it for oppression. I’m not particularly into nonfiction so it’s unlikely I’d pick it up but the title does…

You gotta stop the self-owns. “a crawling poop machine” is almost word-for-word how most people would describe a baby.

First, you’re not the only one to ever make this mistake but you ARE making it. My support for another person and/or their position does not require that I, myself, personally, take up that position. Me? I’m not upset at John Mulaney. But I’m also not discounting, dismissing, or arguing against anyone who is. Because…

It’s an unenviable position to be in: If you’re a woman with mental health issues you are genuinely, to use the outdated vernacular, “crazy”. But the idea of using that accusation as a cudgel to browbeat and dismiss women has been around FOREVER. So how do you honestly address your mental illness without giving…

I hate to be the bearer of self-realization for you but...

And for my money, the real knife in the ribs is not the cheating itself, which was probably not as dire an issue at the time since it sounds like they may very well have been done by then, but the *irresponsibility*. According to timelines that I can figure out, it *seems* like Mulaney was screwing around with Munn…

And look, I’m not saying it’s NOT fine. My position is that there’s an awful lot of pushback against former Mulaney fans who stopped enjoying him once his dirty laundry got aired. It’s not my personal position that he should be boycotted for it but it’s also, to my mind, not unreasonable. And I find that *by and…

Sure, but Mulaney has never presented his standup persona the same way that, say, Anthony Jeselnik or Sarah Silverman (at least in her early work) does or even Carlin in his Hippy Dippy Weatherman days did. Mulaney does not present as a Character. So if part of his presentation is an honest representation of himself…

You say that as though you’ve never known a human child to eat its own poop. Which suggests to me that you’ve never had or known someone with children.

I don’t know if anyone cares to have that conversation given that you brought it up to illustrate a point, not to provoke my dumb knee-jerk. But I find the whole anti-witch-narrative argument to be immensely frustrating. The only reason to find witch narratives objectionable is that there’s a history of idiots taking…

That is mostly fair but it ignores the context of his actual standup, a reasonable chunk of which was based on his relationship with his wife. A relationship that now seems not entirely truthfully represented. Or at least more obviously one-sided now than previously considered.

Are you saying that dogs are NOT as important as human children? Because one of those categories of living being is something I like and want to be around. The other is human children.

Entirely fair. I tend to lean “It was fine.” Some criticisms seem entirely fair, some seem hyperbolically negative. To be honest I find it much rarer to find outright praise than the ridiculous “Worst Ending Evah!” weirdos but I know it exists.

It probably shouldn’t be, but there’s something just SO f’ing funny to me about the fact that the “reject modernity” pics are all women with the half-shave or pixie cut. Like these shitbirds can boil their temper tantrum nonsense down to a haircut they don’t like.

Fleshlights that tell them they’re a Good Boy.
