So I got dumped in 2014. I discovered Bill Burr's You People Are All The Same standup routine, and for my broken hearted self then, it spoke to me. For those of you don't know, Burr jokes about women unable to have a rational argument, and using cheap debate tricks and emotional ploys to win arguments with men. Sorry, but the place I was in wasn't great. My thinking towards Burr in early 2015 was "OMG this guy is funny", late 2015 was "this is funny, but problematic", then in 2016 "OMG this guy is a fascist".
Another time I randomly found a dating app and profile on a girlfriend's phone when I was trying to connect her phone to the smart TV. There was a 45 minute space of time where I channeled all the hurt I ever felt in my past, and I started to think "yes all women are inherently selfish and deceitful". For that time, I was quite literally open to red-pill ideology. Thankfully I shook out of it. Having a support network to whinge about my pain helped too.
One bazillion percent, the dudes in my life have been worse than the women. Long term misogyny seems impossible.
Bill Burr has spent his entire career saying "Don't take the ideas in my standup seriously", having people take his ideas seriously, and then continuing to present the same ideas in his standup, even though people actually took his ideas seriously.
I haven't seen any of his stuff, but is this more like a Fight Club situation where he's playing an asshole character and some people miss the point, or is this like a 4Chan situation where "hur hur we're only joking about being Nazis"?
He plays the ignorant asshole, which is probably 50% real 50% fake. Its not a good thing because people take him seriously, but there are funny times when the people who take him seriously try to get him to support them and he just shits on them. It has led to backlash for him though where he had a period when he married his wife where his chud fans would lose it because she was African American, and he clearly still has chud fans since there was that video posted here recently of some idiot writing to him about how communism always fails
Wait, is Bill burr not dead?
You're thinking Bill Hicks, I honestly used to do the same thing constantly
