Hmm yeah I wonder why an internationally rich and famous celebrity with millions of fans would have to think much harder about how they behave in public than some random European/Asian citizen cruising chicks at a bar, they are basically the same.

I agree, but all people aren’t going to respond to a 100% neutral introduction in the same way.

Like how sometimes you bump into someone on the sidewalk and the other person is like “no worries.” or they’re like “hey gently caress you”.

Is James Gunn a comedian? Nearly every comedian has dated material they abandon or don’t want to come back to, and besides that conflating things someone said as part of an act vs actual things that they did seems like the wrong direction for this to go.

At this point why would any famous person (especially a comedian) even WANT to use social media anymore?

Actually Social Media is the apparatus through which comedians are exploding right now. Tom Segura, Chris D’elia, Whitney Cummings and literally dozens more have scraped together their careers through building facebook/twitter followers until they have enough of a community that Netflix pays them a million dollars for an hour of their material.

If you listen to pretty much any comedian’s podcast or radio show they pretty much unanimously agree it was Dane Cook’s use of MySpace that opened Pandora’s box and showed everyone in the comedy industry what social media meant to the profession.

Eddie Murphy also got busted with multiple transgender prostitutes, so his material came from an internal place.

Also Richard Pryor said human being all the time in his act and he was recently posthumously confirmed to be extremely bisexual by his wife, including a one night stand with Marlon Brando.

How do we feel about closeted black men using “human being” in their acts once we know it that they were gay?

Imagine looking at a trifecta that involves a company that abuses and destroys entire cities, which was founded by a nazi, an actual literal nazi who raped someone and a dude who made lovely gross jokes before coming to terms with his toxic masculinity and realising he was wrong and thinking it's the third who' should be punished.

Just because it’s worth clarifying, historically speaking Walt Disney WAS NOT a Nazi, but said some kind of racist things in private and had some Nazi’s over to the studio, but also pushed for diversity in the studio. He may have been a racist, but the assertion that he was a Nazi/Nazi sympathizer is overblown and false.

He’s was probably JUST a terrible person, but likely not a Nazi.

Bill Burr is a beloved and respected comedian but you can also tell from his podcast that his wife and daughter are the most important things in the world and that his true niche as an entertainer is being a mirror for frustrated white men to vent with and at. His black wife is frequently featured on his podcast and has no problem putting him in his place.

Also I watched roughly 100 hours of Joe Rohan on YouTube and only ever got one Ben Shapiro suggestion and told YouTube to gently caress off with that poo poo and and have never gotten any other alt-right poo poo ever, so maybe if you care so much then take the 8 seconds necessary to groom your personalized feed.

What? He has literally over 1,000 and maybe less than 30 of them are even tangentially alt-right. I watched all his MMA fighter interviews because they are the best (only?) real in-depth interviews in the sport and he has like hundreds of hours of bullshitting with other comedians.

The idea that Joe Rogan is this constant live stream of alt-right propaganda is so ridiculously overblown on SA. He’s a 50 year old comedian and meathead-jock who has in the past 3 years had some extremely dumb and conservative guests on his show. He himself isn’t alt-right and it’s just ludicrous to suggest otherwise.

Joe Rogan has more downloads and streams that Marc Maron and Larry King’s combined total estimated viewership (Marc Maron is a fine person and funny but he is really not a big deal at all).

Ok but what about the literally thousands of hours of science and technology and social reform that he's featured on his show? Does 30 episodes of Jordan Peterson/Candace Owens/Ben Shapiro really take his entire body of work and make it void? (also, everyone thinks he super agrees with all these people but if you watched or listened you'd realize that he definitely cuts them off and questions them when they get into stupid nazi/immigration poo poo and mostly just talks to them about their views on modern PC culture and why they disagree).

Its just funny to see the endless frothing at the mouth by people against Joe Rogan when he does so many good things for so many people but he has questionable guests on his show with bad opinions and suddenly he's the loving Pogram of the 4th Reich. It's just a hilariously reactionary viewpoint that indicates, among other things, complete ignorance of the subject.

It's whatever, you don't have to like him, but pretending he agrees with these morons on everything is just wrong. It doesnt matter how mealy-mouthed your complaints are, you're asserting a falsehood, and I just think it's really funny how incredibly CHUD-ly it is to just incessantly bleat about how something is bad without engaging or attempting to understand it. It's like the definition of conservatism but it's ok because you don't like him. Why does this apply to Joe Rogan and not to like, every major media outlet?

I just listened to a podcast of stand-up comedians talking and the scene in LA comedy clubs at this point is 80/20 for/against Louis coming back, but with pretty much everyone saying this new set is not the first step he should have taken after a year of radio silence.

They also provide an anecdote where Janine Garafalo was in attendance at the film festival where he JO’d at those two women and she says she remembers sitting in the green room when they came downstairs and told everyone what had just happened and everyone just laughed and laughed because it was so gross and weird. At the time everyone was treating it like a funny story. She routinely stands up for Louis CK now, very firmly in the “it was a different time and he’s a very different person now” camp.

I appreciated the insight into the situation. The LA comedy scene is slowly cannibalizing itself due to a war between SJW/Safe Space Crusaders and the old guard “you can’t tell me what is/isn’t funny” and it’s pretty interesting how many people that publically called Louie out and took a stance on him had actually known about it for years.

Tig Notaro was specifically called out as having known all about Louie the entire time he was funding her show and helping her become more established and then ditched him and took a stand only when it was convenient to do so.

Isn’t it weird how black teens getting publicly abused and molested and groomed by Drake and R. Kelly and Morgan Freeman just never seems to matter as much as white women getting molested...

I mean it’s common knowledge that R. Kelly keeps underage sex slaves locked in a mansion. There are huge investigative reports into it. He’s still making music. Freeman’s granddaughter was murdered by boyfriend because she’d been groomed into sex by Freeman, uh he’s fine nothing happened to him. This is like the 3rd “Drake hangs out with teenage girls and does creepy poo poo” tweet I’ve seen this year, but he’s got more money than god so lol at anyone giving a poo poo this decade.

Yes, actually I’m saying if an actress wants to write a scene where she gets raped by her friend, it’s perfectly fine for her to do that. Using it as an example of how gross Louis is seems weird, since the scene was her idea, and her creation, and executed to her vision.

You are out of your goddam mind if you don’t think Pamela knew every scrap and tittle of Louis CK’s deviancy, they’ve been working together almost as long as he and Silverman.
