Thank god comedians didn't have specials in the 30s and 40s otherwise they could've just used them as an excuse during the Nuremberg trials. :kyle:
"It is one thing to occasionally make content that is interpreted a certain way, it happens not every artist can have that much control over how the social media is going to react on a daily basis."
Yea thats a good point, I've seen quite a few Bill Burr clips and there are definitely more than a couple which are very low brow / bordering chud behaviour, so it is more of a repeated situation with him.
Not everything comes down to personal responsibility bullshit. Talking about media literacy is a cop out when certain artists deliberately make their content appealing for a specific low brow audience.
Yea you make a good point I concede
If watching a shitty comedy special turns you into a racist or a misogynist you have other much bigger problems lmao
Ofcourse they arent immune to criticism, but comedy and comedians should be treated as purely entertainment not as a source of ones beliefs or opinions. Kinda like the same way you can read a book without agreeing with the main characters actions, you should view comedians as characters because thats usually what they are considering on stage / off stage personalities are almost always different. Im not tryna defend “muh wimmens bad” or “muh gays bad” but if you start hating women cause some comedian said so there are larger issues at hand concerning media literacy.
Bill Burr is a comedian why are you taking his jokes at face value?
Do ya'll know of any website or telegram channel recommendations for viewing combat footage?
I know the Russian With Attitude team are chuds but is their reporting legitimate or just copium?
Yea I agree 100% that it'll fuck you up inside, I actually got into a pretty big argument/discussion recently with mates about it when I was high but I really can't not watch it. I followed the Azeri-Armenia war 2 years ago when I was depressed and it was alot better than just watching those random combat clips from syria and Iraq. IDK if ive just got brainworms at this point but combat footage is entertaining regardless of whose involved, aslong as both sides are armed. Ty for the reccomendation mate :bird-guerrila:
