They've been edgy for years but this new focus on attacking oversensitivity is a new approach. But yes, the world has changed. It does that.

6 years ago | Likes 38 Dislikes 5

Agreed. Although I watched both specials yesterday and found Chapelle was a little whiny about today's sensitivity while Burr exploited it

6 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 3

Chappelle did change though, and for the worse. Burr changed too, but to call out his own behavior more often, which heightens the punchline

6 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 2

That's part of the point. They aren't changing.

Chappelle always had an element of his comedy that punched down, and it was always the worst, least funny thing about his act.

Hey, quick thing, you know that the Imperium are the baddies right? So is everyone else, but still.

The point is the Imperium are the good guys by virtue of being less bad for *humans* than all the other options.

6 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

No, the point is that EVERYONE is the bad guys. The opening blurb is not subtle, the Imperium’s just as bad as everyone else. 40k has no

Good guys, just bad guys and other bad guys(with more spikes). The Tau are the closest you get to a good guy faction, and they’re utterly

Did I miss something? Who is this Imperium? Romans?

Tau are pretty good for humans. The rumours about sterilisation are just Imperial propaganda.

Disagree. If our only means of survival is Fascist theocracy then everything good about humanity is already dead.

But 'everything good about humanity' isn't dead, it's gained sentience and is trying to take over the universe.

And people being generally less cool with making fun of LGBTs is a... bad thing?

Every group deserves to be made fun of for something. He didn't make fun of their defining characteristics though, that wasn't the joke.

6 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 4

He kinda did. What do you think that I identify as asian joke was making fun of?

6 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 4

I think the point was how unusual it can seem when men identify as women and vice versa.

"He's not making fun of transpeople for their defining characteristic he's just making fun of the way people identify as a different gender"

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Yes "unusual" when "men" "identify" as women. Do you see what's leery about that?

6 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 3

I don't get your point. He was "acting asian" for the joke. Would it have been better if he did the usual white guy voice to make it work?

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 6

He was pointing out that it's a funny situation when someone decides they were born in the wrong body. That there's humor in it. But yeah,

he was joking about the defining characteristic of the Ts.

"The ts" is a very slurr-y way to refer to people

To put it in perspective. Some people are currently upset with a child eating demonic murder clown not being enough of an LGBTQ ally.

There have been more than enough articles written about this for you to go to the source, and read what the authors have to say.

Fine. Basically the evil murder clown hunts these characters like everyone else. Uses their personal fears surrounding being LGBTQ.

People were always offended, just now we have platforms to hear them on a larger scale.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The internet lets you see who's offended. People don't really say if they're NOT offended by something

Well in some ways they do, but they usually do so by directing it at those who were offended by calling them SJWs, overly-sensitive, etc.>

Very well could be, but for every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In your case it would be an overreaction, daffodil.

Self-control is a thing.

Yeah, if you are an object. Generally, humans are capable of regulating their behavior rather than relying on reflexive contrarianism.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

So... "why did he take a really long detour mocking trans people to make an asian joke" is enough to have you behave rudely to other people?

6 years ago | Likes 21 Dislikes 17

No, this humour is just scratching the surface. Its the intolerance of not being able to express ideas because they conflict with theirs.

6 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 14

Its the same as it ever was really. You can say whatever you want but if you talk shit about trans people and rape victims, people aren't 1)
