  1. That was obviously a fucking joke, dumbass. The whole point is that is NOT what intersectionality is, and using it that way demonstrates conclusively that I do not know what that word means, so using the word sets up an absurd situation. Maybe you're the one who doesn't have enough brain power to be commenting on a comedy special. Try having a conversation with your wife about comedy.
  2. I'm not mad at you. I just think your schtick is funny. Plus, I didn't say anything "stupid." And thank you for letting me know who I should listen to more. That is very validating, and very helpful, and definitely does not dovetail perfectly with your role in this thread of "Objective Heterosexual White Male Who GETS IT And Is Here To Help."
  3. Acting like there is not a reflexive "cancel culture" in play now, notwithstanding nearly every major public figure and unorthodox academic decrying it, is truly amazing cognitive dissonance. Just read what Gourmand wrote. In one paragraph, he says "cancel culture does not exist" and "he cannot be cancelled because he has a huge audience and is influential." What difference does it make how large an audience somebody has or whether they are influential if the cancel culture does not exist anyway? It represents a total failure of critical thought which appears to be steeped in some sort of delusion.
  4. FWIW, I am also interested in troph's perspective. Gourmand's "white knighting" because he had a conversation with his wife cannot be taken seriously and is completely unproductive. But it is funny! And this is a thread about a comedy stand up, so I think his performance theater of the absurd is a good addition.
  5. I can’t argue with that. That’s a pretty fair take.
  6. Or maybe he’s just one dude with his perspective and can’t tell every joke the way every other person in the world may subjectively want him to.
  7. Because Marsha P Johnson didn’t shoot somebody at a Wal-Mart. It’s like you didn’t even listen to what he was saying.
  8. He was mocking the law from multiple perspectives because the usual objection to trans bathroom intersectionality (Gourmand am I using that right?) is that dude women will fuck your little girl kids. And he’s saying “I don’t give a shit about that! What about me?” Which is absurd. But again please don’t construe what I am saying to mean that I think the trans movement is relatively humorless.
  9. Because “Marsha P Johnson” isn’t a funny name? And I’m plenty dumb thank you very much.
  10. Nope. I only said that once. My other big kid words in this thread have been “dogma,” “overwrought,” and “preconceived.” I don’t know what substance you want me to bring. Anybody who disagrees with you and Mr. Wifeversation will conveniently either be ignorant or a bigot.
  11. His joke about the Stonewall riots did all that? I must be dumber than I thought!
  12. It is way more complicated than that tired trope but whatever.
  13. When does their comedy special air?
  14. I am mocking your nonsensical position that things that you speculate may contribute to violence can never be funny because your definition of comedy does not allow for potential compromisation of the political/sociological issue most personal to you.
  15. I’m not being disingenuous.
  16. No the joke is exactly the same. He respects people who really fight, not people who get mad about pronouns and make up new words because they cannot believe anybody disagrees with them. That was the point of his joke.
  17. To me it just sounded like a story about a person he knew.
  18. Were the perpetrators found still wearing their “Dave Chappelle Fan Club” jackets?
  19. Did you learn this from your conversation with your wife?
  20. I thought his point was very simple. He’s confused about the trans issue. He doesn’t like being bullied by people telling him it’s settled. He personally likes all people on a personal individual level. He thinks the pronouns and made-up words are bullshit and sidestep the discussion.
  21. So “show some empathy,” “we are all human,” and “she was my friend” are all terms that promote violence against black trans women?
  22. This is so overwrought with special interest dogma it’s hard for me to unpack.
  23. And the new standard for everything is whether some idiot uses it as encouragement to do something wrong or cruel? Can I say I disagree with MAGA people because some left wing lunatic may attack one of them? Can I say I send my kid to private school because I don’t like public school agendas even though some clown may decide that means it’s okay to attack a school board member? Where are the lines? What’s the limiting principle on your “words that may lead to violence are bad” theory?
