Agreed, and it’s also shitty of her to berate people who buy $60 shoes, as if you’re either spending $715 or destroying the Earth.

The “stolen from Africa” caption on the post is a bit much. Besides a person who spends $700 on a pair of shoes is probably not going to go for the cheap knock off.

Presumably, getting the shoes in as many hands as possible would benefit the workers who get paid for making the shoes. Maintaining abnormally high margins with the effect of keeping sales lower only benefits the corporation.

Yeah, no, this is some sleazy shit from Aurora James and Brother Vellies.

Just because they’re “ethically sourced” does not mean there is not a significant profit margin involved. It’s kind of assholish to scold people for buying shoes they can afford (“if you’re buying a $60 pair of shoes they did significant damage to the environment/economy”) but then sell the “ethical” shoe at a…

Want to bring that mentality to men accused of rape? Didn’t think so.

I don’t understand most of your response. I’ve heard she was accused of stealing a joke but I actually don’t really care. She has an immense body of work so one or two of her jokes are bound to resemble another comedian’s from time to time. It happens when you’ve produced as much material as she has.

I wish I had a nickel for every person that used the phrase “ad hominem” incorrectly as shorthand for “hey that person insulted me.” That’s not how this works. You haven’t actually presented an argument, just a series of unsupportable statements. It’s not possible for someone to levy an ad hominem attack against you…

Wow... so she humiliated and used someone as a pawn for laughs?

Thank God you woke up this morning and rushed to Jezebel so you could deliver this hot take. You sound like a very rational and well adjusted individual and I for one hope you can give us more of this level of fine insight. Thank you. Thank you. I am literally standing and clapping in front of my monitor. People in my…

What’s possibly going on here is that somebody is a combination of bored/lonely/angry, and is throwing out a deliberately inflammatory position in order to get lots of attention and comments. It’s not quite human interaction, but it can be the next best thing.

You came into a thread talking about how Amy Schemer handles hecklers well, and started saying she sucks as a comic and hey Maria Bamford. This isn’t an “argument” that people want to engage with you in, because its completely out of left field, it’s a dumb argument because all it is is opinions and of course we’re…

No no you see, the hivebrain is allowed to like only ONE token female comedian at a time, and Amy already had her 15 minutes. Now she is problematic, so nothing she says from now on is funny or cool.

You do realize that a pro-woman discussion of female comics allows Maria Bamford and Amy Schumer to co-exist? Schumer’s success is only a detriment to Bamford if you believe that women inherently must compete with one another and that there’s only room for one of them.

“Well, she’s kinda a hack.” So, you start with an ad feminem argument, and....

Tell us: how did it feel to get tossed out of the show last night?

You, me and Costanza...

People who heckle comics must be suckers for punishment.. picking a fight with a person who is literally there because they are funny (and often incisive and quick thinkers), in a setting where literally 99.9% of the people present like them and are -at best- indifferent to you.

She really handles herself so confidently. When I saw her perform live she did a bit about Hillary Clinton and some guy yelled “Who cares!” She immediately had the spotlight on that guy and told him to come down to the stage if he really wanted to talk. She even used some condescending baby talk on him. Not another…

I love this show and the women who compete on it are not only total badasses but all seem to have serious hearts of gold and really striving to be inspirations to other women, FUCK YES JESSIE GRAFF.
