My excuse has always been, and will always be: "Sure, I obviously want to support the cast and crew, and the creators of media that I love, but I WILL BE DAMNED if I give one red cent to some dirty, mooching executive who contributes nothing to society or entertainment. Go back to selling driveway sealant, executives!"

The internet laughs at your attempt to live a productive and active life!

Yeah. To me (and you), at least, it was pretty obvious what the intent behind the joke was.
But we're apparently in an age where intent and context don't matter one bit. I'm all for being sensitive and not going out and intentionally saying things with the intention of hurting people, but that isn't the same as being…

There also seem to be a lot of people in the south that would get riled up to support anti-LGBT nonsense, but could still be on great terms with a gay couple they knew personally. Like "Now, I don't care for them queer folk one bit… what? Tim and Steve down the road yonder? They're good folk, had 'em over for a bbq…

Duck and cover

By 'Lord's name', you do mean "Xenu", correct?

If your living conditions allow you to spend hours of your life being outraged over jokes that are aggressively unfunny more than they are aggressively offensive, you should probably check your privilege.

No one is forcing anyone to read anything. If you follow someone, they may tweet something you don't like. If someone tweets "Trevor Noah tweeted some offensive shit", nothing is forcing you to read his tweet. If you do, and you are offended, then you went looking to be offended.

Which makes me think of when Stewart had Jon Ronson on last week (?) and he was talking about the woman who made the tweet about being safe from getting AIDS in S. Africa because she was white, and in her pillorying someone tweeted that they 'hoped she was raped by someone with AIDS'… and wasn't criticized at all.
Seems…

Yeah, this game is definitely giving me motivation to upgrade.

What would really make the experience of playing a From Software game complete is if you could have J.K. Simmons, in character from Whiplash, screaming at you, an inch away from your face the entire time.

I don't think it's just the difficulty that makes From games so beloved and hard to replicate, I think that it's also how impeccably designed and fair the difficulty seems.
Their games are a lot like the elderly teachers in kung-fu movies. Completely merciless if you don't do what they say, how they say it, but…

I think the problem with that is that, usually, liberal comedians are making those jokes to their presumably liberal fans. So it would kind of be like the friends can say worse stuff to each other than they could say to a stranger. "I can make fun of you, because at the end of the day, we're totally bros, bro"
Also,…

A lot of it how these issues are increasingly being handled (well.. mishandled) brings to mind the Nat Geo article I read a few weeks back about why otherwise intelligent people believe anti-science stuff (anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers, young earth creationists), and I think it's the same problem - Shaming…

Eh, I think the fact that he was much, much younger would make it easier for him to learn from his mistakes then someone further along in their career like Wanda Sykes.
Mostly I mentioned her because a lot of the names I've seen tossed around as examples of funny women are what you'd expect: Fey, Poehler, Silverman,…

Nope. I'm assuming you ask because it was a train wreck?
I think her stand up is reasonably ok. I enjoy listening to her when she's a guest on shows, and I recognize how much any host's success rests with the material that's coming out of the writer's room for them.

Oh for christ's sake, more of this? Apparently there were women in contention early on, and while there are a *lot* of immensely talented women who could have knocked it out of the park (personally, I think Wanda Sykes would have been an interesting choice), maybe, just maybe, it's possible they weren't interested, or…

How's he supposed to be our new Christ when he's not even WHITE?
C'mon guy, everyone knows the Son of God is Aryan. Just like his dad.
That's like the first lesson of 'Being a Good, Christian, God Fearin' 'Murican 101'

But we do give a lot of shits about Bill Cosby's sweaters when it's time for the office's 'ugly christmas sweater' party.

Ehh, I don't think it's the lack of celebrities that makes the same people getting twitter-outraged shrug. The systemic, institutional stuff is almost always a much deeper problem that requires change of EVERYONE.
