first result for “Bill burr transphobic” https://twitter.com/MalBlum/status/1315334223532761088

I don't really recall the jokes OTOH and they certainly don't work sans context, but I digress. I can no more change people being angry about jokes than they can change the existential threat that is comedy as a concept. :(

Just on a hunch, I figured I'd load up whatever the MMPC chunk was about transgender wrestlers and... Uh. The person writing in to Bill is the transphobe. And Bill's pretty clearly making a joke when he twists around the gender panic. If you can tell me what he said that's not just a joke about how overreacting people are when they try to stoke transphobic sentiments by doing ridiculous fantasization about 'guys' beating up 'women'. Which, of course, leaves out who trans men are and where these people seem to think they ought to be competing and all. They neeeeeeeeeever seem to notice that they're simultaneously arguing that AFAB transmen should be kept in (cis-)women's leagues as well. If testosterone is going to make you a better athlete, either from growing up with some in your system as a pre-pubescent male or from hormonal therapy as a transman, why the gently caress aren't transmen just owning right now? They're nigh-universally lumped in with ciswomen in their categories; where's the extreme dominance they're supposedly, by the logic of the transphobe, capable of exterting?

gently caress it. Just call ME transphobic and then don't dig any deeper, specifically not in the PHIZ Cum Town thread where I've posted some actual, though framed comically, experiences from my life of late. I'm definitely a transphobe and not just someone who gets irked at a constant stream of people getting mad at the wrong targets in society. The jester is the problem here.

Bill Burr absolutely has some racist transphobic poo poo inside his head but he recognizes his biases and tries to get past them. He's your lovely racist uncle, but he actually understands that he's wrong and is doing his loving best to not be such a piece of poo poo. Bill Burr is what you want broke-brained older people to be. You want them to admit they're wrong and try to change and you need to accept that they gently caress up sometimes. That doesn't mean you have to let them off the hook or endorse any of their pleistocene views.

that was Archie Bunker’s entire character. I’ve met a few guys who aspire to be like that but were really just dicks who didn’t want to get called out on it. I feel like it shouldn’t be that hard to get over those biases even if you grew up around those attitudes but for Bill Burr being stuck in that in between is a career choice.

He definitely errs on the Adam Carolla side sometimes and shouldn't ever be let off the hook for that but again at least he loving tries rather than just endlessly crutching on "I'm old and you're going to cancel me!!!"

This is from someone who thinks Philadelphia is the greatest city in the world. And Bill Burr is not a friend of Philadelphia.

If it's the Chapo CoC episodes with some Cum Town cameos, they are 100% doing a bit about how modern conservatives are jsut old-time racists with a new veneer. Their characters are pastiches of people they make fun of on their show.

"Just get over it" would make Cognitive Behavior Therapy so much easier.

Oh you're a drug addict from years of abuse and neglect? Just get over it!

Sex offender from decades of narcissism and sociopathy? Just get over it!

Multi-generational line of misogynism? Should be pretty easy to completely rewire the brain!

It's just a switch you can flip, you see...

Let me rephrase then. If anyone thinks that severe mental illnesses or learned behaviors (whatever the breed) can just be forgotten without serious work to rewire the brain and learn new pathways, I feel they are misinformed on how the brain works.

Is that better?
