Is anybody else annoyed that “shipping” and deviantart porn is getting such attention? It used to be that we all knew that stuff existed, and that we all knew it was stupid and weird while letting people who are into that sort of thing do their thing and moved on. Now you can’t read an article about a new Overwatch…
No. We must do the things that the bloggers tell us. Otherwise we are terrible people.
They want to pretend it isn’t real; that this is just a way to feel good about themselves. Like the people who brought picnic lunches to watch Civil War battles.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot and it makes sense. I think it especially works for these new mouthpieces like the Milo guy, Tomi Lahren, and of course ol’ Ann Coulter. So many of these right wing provocateurs have cultivated their entire brand on angering liberals and getting a reaction. Remember the controversy…
If a tree falls in the woods with no one to hear it... does it make a sound? Isn’t this more true than ever today? The Nazi’s got what they wanted... a metric ton of publicity and sympathy from some corners. Let the Nazi’s chant in a vaccuum. If you want actual civil war.. and lots of carnage.. then by all…
Kvetching about Tina Fey and “allies” like the top post does is what amounts to 98% of #activism.
From elsewhere about part of Tina’s comments
She’s a comedian doing a kind of stream-of-consciousness bit on her own self-contradictory feelings about the situation. I mean, she also said she wanted to see Nazis being beaten up by drag queens. It was basically a rapid-fire standup routine delivered through a cake. Some of the jokes were off-base but a lot of…
So much of comedy is the messenger, and I guess Tina Fey has crossed over into “problematic fave” category. If people come armed expecting her to say something to confirm their bias, then she’ll say something. In this case, “the majority” refers to a handful of commenters on one site that hold Fey up as the poster…
I’m feeling a little insane by the amount of people that took her entire skit as literally as possible.
Yes, it often is.
Yup!!!
Context matters.
Tina Fey has said some problematic things in the last few months. She told college educated white women that they should start caring about Trump’s policies but not because they should embrace or care about other historically marginalized and oppressed groups. They should care because eventually his policies will…
oh come on. I think the sketch reflected what a lot of (privileged white) people are thinking this week. the fuck am I, a person who lives in a blue city that is 50% black, going to do about these lunatics in the south except share preachy memes and fight with my aunt on FB? It’s awful and we know it’s awful but there…
It’s your problem that you’re looking to a comedian for something way more substantial than a comedic bit. That’s all this was. Stop looking to celebrities for guidance. People are perfectly capable of knowing how to feel about Nazis without help from Tina Fey.
Jesus Christ this site is sour and humorless.
