“Hey now, sometimes people slip up and cause genocide, we've all been there. The important thing is that it was a learning experience."

Frankly, as objectively accurate that bit may have been, considering the rest of the monologue, I don’t believe even for a moment that he actually gives a shit. It was just a convenient mask for his misogyny, and misogynistic idiots are falling for it.

A white man issuing that criticism is absolutely punching down. If it came from anyone else it would be legitimate criticism. Coming from him, together with shitting on LGBT people and people with Covid19? He wasn’t punching down, he was stomping down with steel-heeled boots.

my gripe with the Burr set was his pride month zinger - absolutely NOT intersectional. his joke is that gay people don’t deserve a whole month cause they haven’t been enslaved. SO NO BLACK GAY PEOPLE EXIST APPARENTLY. And THAT’S where the ignorance really showed.

I saw the bit, and my main takeaway is that Burr is a dinosaur of comedy, the kind of guy who confuses shocking content with, you know, good writing. Michelle Wolfe is a shining example of the latter: she works in all kinds of wtf material, and does it in a smart, genuinely funny way.

I see a lot of humorlessness from the conservative right. The anti-PC crowd is equally annoying for their “Look at me, look at me, poo poo, pee pee!” routine.

Things I’m fine with/agree with: Criticising white feminists for making racism about them, instead of standing to the side as supportive allies, and/or choosing to fight against hardship aimed at women as a whole.

Things I’m not:
- Doing so by calling women ‘bitches’.
- Saying the LGBTQIA+ community hasn’t experienced…

If only they could get a deal with SONY to make a powerful projector from their will alone, it will never turn off but play only plays The Birth of a Nation.

“Sit down next to me and take your talking to”?

White republicans in the late 70's wanted to distance it from the “Mexican” sounding (and populated) city that the airport resides in, so Santa Ana was removed from the name.

I mean, it IS misogynist, though. That’s his whole schtick: white guy punches down, then squeaks about hypocrisy when he gets called on it, then all the white boys feels smug for ‘pwning the libs’ or whatever.

they want to remove his name and statue from the airport.

I just find it interesting that he and Chappelle have earned this ‘edge’ by punching down - which should not be confused with speaking truth to power - while there are lesser known comedians, who don’t get nearly as hysterical about ‘cancel culture,’ writing better jokes that make the same points without punching down…

She is doing some of the smartest, funniest, most interesting stuff with gender and how it intersects with race. I wish she got even an ounce of the level of publicity that this screechy moron gets (an yes, I understand the irony of calling Burr the screechy one here).

I also hate that he is getting all of this attention for this bit, as if he is the first comedian to make this point. There are far funnier lady comedians who have been making this point for a while.

I don’t expect bill burr to grow at all. he’s an old white man catering to old white men. 

I honestly don’t watch a lot of his content in full because I feel that there are many other smarter and funnier comedians to pay attention to, but when someone’s jokes become championed by far right “news” organizations...ehhhh....it’s one of those, “liking Bill Burr doesn’t make you far right, but sometimes it’s…

I can’t fucking stand Bill Burr and his ilk ie comedians whose whole schtick is railing against political correctness. I mean he’s not wrong about white women but comedy should be about punching up, not down. I wouldn’t say telling LGBTQ+ people that they aren’t sufficiently oppressed and calling Black people “equator…

I think some of the backlash may be due to the fact that Bill Burr has a long history of maligning feminism in general. In an old bit he suggested that Michelle Obama isn’t qualified to give speeches and stated that the only reason she is liked is because she is a woman. He does with feminism what Chappelle does with…

Ready Player 1: Speedrun sounds about right to me.
