Accountability in Entertainment • Page 92

Comedy and racial slurs are the same thing because they both invoke responses

Giving someone a hug and stabbing them are the same thing because in both cases you FEEL something

 

receiving a hug does often feel like i’m being stabbed, it’s true

stabbed with love!!! folks!

 

To be fair the more you analyze his comedy technique in that clip and appreciate everything he's doing, his style seems not so much paincringe like a stab in the gut but grosscringe like being splashed in the face with diarrhea, piss and vomit.

 

If this is a bit, you should stop. If it’s not a bit, you should also stop.

 

Have you all forgotten how to read or something? They’re literally saying “this makes me feel bad.” It’s a lame joke but jfc how dense can you be going after someone who very explicitly agrees with you lol

 

Fuck, maybe I did go too far tbh.

Shane, if you're reading this and got your feelings hurt, sorry there fella. You seem like a sensitive guy - y'know, someone who's humor comes from a place of wit and care and not hate or stupidity or whatever. Just know that no matter what anyone says, there's going to be classy people out there who think you're a good comic and will support you. I hear Prager University might be starting up a comedic arts major soon and are looking for some faculty. Keep at it my guy. Respect.

 

Getting this thread back on rails a bit, has anything new come about with the whole Danny Masterson shitstorm? Is he still pussing out from acknowledging any of it publicly?

 

he called Cedric's wife a liar because he's a piece of shit

"I’m not going to fight my ex-girlfriend in the media like she’s been baiting me to do for more than two years. I will beat her in court—and look forward to it because the public will finally be able learn the truth and see how I’ve been railroaded by this woman. And once her lawsuit is thrown out, I intend to sue her and the others who jumped on the bandwagon for the damage they caused me and my family,"

 

I don’t know if anything else major has happened since Leah’s show came out, except that above quote. He’s just the worst.

 

Is he still on the netflix show or did they quietly fire him

 

They pretty loudly fired him a while back.

 

Oh shit really? I felt like they kept him on for a season after the initial allegations came out

 

It was pretty soon after they came to light if I remember correctly. Like they had already filmed a season at the time so there was no way to edit him out, but they like had his character murdered or something at the end of it. That was a few years ago.

 

Gotcha maybe I’m misremembering

 

Not gonna link the excerpted audio but I feel like I’m desensitized to a lot and it was appalling

 

everyone too sensitive these days.

 

Countdown until the grifting begins in 3 .. 2 .. 1...

 

Oh boy

 

great time to be suspended from twitter actually

 

shocking that white guys on twitter are mad about this

 

I don't understand this one. Dude said "fucking c***ks" barely a year ago. Fuck him to the ends of the earth.

 

Yeah it's bizarre, he was saying it like 3 weeks ago

 

It's especially shitty considering Bowen's hiring.
