Does it continue from the book or movie? Cuz i can see a sequel to the book where the protag has to fight what he created, but the movies ending seems far less able to go anywhere interesting

so you think transphobes just attack any lgbt person they see any reference to at any time like bulls seeing a red flag and dont even bother to make a contextual distinction between the ones who are being referenced in such a way to imply they also have antitrans beliefs

Jesus, it's like talking to a four year old. Here, I'll lay it out, and you can point out which step you have a problem with:

a) Dave Chapelle panders to transphobes in his new special.

b) Netflix (while firing the trans employees who complained) justifies airing the special by saying "Well, we also platform pro-queer creators like Hannah Gadsby."

c) Hannah Gadsby says "Hey Netflix, all the people who suddenly love Dave Chapelle are the same people who constantly harass me for creating queer content, so don't loving hide behind me."

With the basic principle here being that you can't compensate for creating bigoted content by creating non-bigoted content. The two aren't equivalent actions, they don't cancel each other out.

not true as has been noted chapelles bit is mainly critical of cancel culture which among other things drove a trans friend of his to suicide for having the termity to defend him on twitter

b) Netflix (while firing the trans employees who complained) justifies airing the special by saying "Well, we also platform pro-queer creators like Hannah Gadsby."

also not true hannah gadsby was mentioned in an internal memo from the netflix ceo not a public statement from netflix at large and hardly anyone even noticed the memo at all until gadsby filed a response

quote:

c) Hannah Gadsby says "Hey Netflix, all the people who suddenly love Dave Chapelle are the same people who constantly harass me for creating queer content, so don't loving hide behind me."

also not true and ill simply post the tweet again since you appear to have a reading comprehension problem

https://twitter.com/GBBranstetter/status/1449027747452436484

gadsby is clearly saying theres a direct correlation between new dave chapelle specials getting released and her having to deal with more hate and anger whatever that means she actually goes out of her way to avoid contextualizing the issue in terms of larger societal homophobia this being the premise of my original joke her phrasing was really dumb

i agree with this and if hannah gadsby had actually said that i wouldnt have made a post making fun of her

I've seen many, many people struggle w/ this including myself. You can't erase lovely behavior w/ good actions (especially if they're performative), coincidentally this is I think the thesis of the Sopranos movie except it was buried under a lot of forgettable scenes.

I also think it's dumb to compare individuals' actions to that of a corporation like Netflix, but yea lots of people out there trying to undo harm w/ mutual aid or fundraising for good causes. The misstep is not holding yourself accountable for the bad stuff and trying to ignore or erase it.

he did not have a trans friend. he let a trans comic open for him, they bombed, then he mocked her for it. fine. happens in comedy. well, then he brings her up in the special and talks about her death, using her as a shield. they were not friend.

"As has been noted" by who? You? Because I watched the special and he's either a piece of poo poo, or pretending to be one for clicks. He's just doing the now-standard bigot tactic of attacking others while also playing the victim, talking about how persecuted it makes him feel when people (correctly!) tell him to shut the gently caress up about poo poo he doesn't understand.

I got as far as Tyler Durden being an immortal spirit of chaos that has harried humanity for generations, and who was going to try and possess the narrator' and Marla's son like he was Chuckie looking for a new body. I then returned the book to the library.

It's a textbook example of an author completely misunderstanding why people enjoyed a book, and leaning heavily into the "You can't edit me anymore, I'm successful!" portion of their career

[Poop Culture] Amazon's upcoming "Lord of the Rings" to feature Maori-type Hobbits

what im getting here is that libs want to inject minorities into everything so they can return to the womb of never having to feel guilt or engage with complexity- so they can be white again like they used to be.

like i honestly learned a lot of important but weird things about racism (like the influence of wagner on racism and fantasy) by engaging with the fact that there are racist elements in a story about elves by a guy who told nazi fans that he wished he were part Jewish so he could tell them to gently caress off even harder.

I haven't watched it personally but read he also repeatedly misgenders her as a joke, saying she'd have thought it was funny. I'd be interested in watching it to form my opinion if I thought this was at all valid but it doesn't seem worth it.

The formula of the seemingly random plot lines coming together in the end is what people usually talked about while it was airing, I think the earlier seasons were still working it out. Larry David carried this over into CYE as well.
