We get to say what we find funny and piercing truths versus self serving …

Of other rich, famous, public people. He wasn’t exactly punching down in pointing out the vapid whining of Meghan, and the completely disingenuous Mr and Mrs Smith. When Rock was pointing out that multiple people publicly called Will a B—— for what he did, you could feel and hear the pent-up emotions spill out. Well-earned vitriol in response is fair as can be.

Yeah, but grown-ups can see your humorlessness from miles away. People largely get it. Not you….

You really seem rather dim - a bunch of different people have been posting and adding on to comments I made. We are not one person.

I have loving family And many friends - I like a good joke but not CR style (some are not bad though)

The condescending (and lame) put downs of women of different races standing up to CR’s history of petty misogyny says a lot more about you than women ..,

Um, I'm pretty sure that's what the quoted post is saying. It's funny to you or it's not, but you don't get to censor what comedians are allowed or not allowed to say. They don't need to run their skits through any moral police before they perform them. If you don't like a particular comedian don't watch them. There's a whole thread here of PC comedians, go watch them.

I looked at my husband at that moment and said - That's exactly right !
Best line ever.

He said we don’t get to dictate what comedians joke about - no argument there - but there was an inference that non CR fans should be silenced from pointing out the anti women bias that runs through out all his routines m, including this one. We get to respond the way we see fit.

Stupid men mansplaining to us and "telling us the truth". Big dummies don't even realize how stupid they are. There is nothing worse than an idiot with a strong opinion.

Dummy, you’re on a thread about a comedy special that premiered fewer than 48 hours ago. Go hit up an Ozempic thread, do something useful for yourself.

More woman hating incel love here. We all know you and could tell you things about yourself...

Wrong on all counts. I wish you luck as you try (and fail) to find a partner and develop your life. Fantasizing about closeted dudes who attack third-parties out of an ill-conceived attachment to a cheating, mean-spirited partner is not the look. But you can cling to it like a blanket, Linus-style, for lack of something real.

You're an ass. I don't support Will or his wife. They are all horrible people. I won't let you like and make CR out to be some wonderful person because he got slapped. The person upthread who referred to him as "beloved" clearly has brain damage. He hates women. He doesn't support a woman's right to choose despite his words. He is obsessed with Jada. This is all sick.

Im pro choice, a Democratic trump hating voter and you are insufferable. You actually hate everyone that’s pro-life? It’s a different philosophy but it doesn’t mean they hate women. I see why liberals make conservatives want to throw up.

You make me want to vomit.

He has been very angry about him making a fortune from comedy and her getting half (or whatever) of it just from being married to him, raising the kids etc. He has joked about this, and I can see this attitude carrying over to other women in his comedy.

Yeah well he has made sexual assault jokes and judgy abortion jokes that make light of reasons why women may need abortions …

You are making this country afraid to open it’s mouth. I’m a white democrat liberal but there isn’t a damn thing a comedian can say on stage that will offend me.

+1

Your casual dismissal of the insidious ways misogyny hurts women in real time is making women afraid to live life. Half of American women of all races have lost fundamental human rights and it is life or death for many of us.

Thank you.

I wrote that post, and no I don't think anyone's opinion should be censored.

This is a long thread talking about CR’s history of misogyny and targeting of Jada specifically.
But have there been specifics posted? I’ve read through but can’t find them.
He’s def a negative guy. It’s part of the schtick.
But is he equally negative?
If he’s going after everyone…. That seems par for the course.
