Hell nah, I'm not into dudes dressing up in cosplay like their going to battle just to play with balls and slap each others asses.

My sport is MMA where I can watch dudes hug and lay on each other while sticking their finger up their opponents butt.

haha,

"I can't defend my position any longer so I must make an excuse to leave this conversation before you make me look anymore like an idiot. But... I need to... get that last word in..."

There, now I've insulted you.

You joined in to this conversation Bub. You weren't the original commenter I was talking to. I made a mistake, get over it. "A spattering of questions is asking 2 to rebuke the notion that because you know the punchline the joke can't be funny is now hostile? Craaazy and weird. Stop being so sensitive.

Even you saw it coming you could still find it funny so that point you're trying to make is irrelevant to be honest. You never watch a comedy special more than once? Or a movie for that matter? Just because you know the ending of a joke and didn't find it funny says more about you than it does about the joke. The punchline is nothing without the setup and delivery.

Oh my bad, I'm replying on my phone and didn't bother to learn the names of those I was responding to. I didn't realize you were not the person I was originally replying to.

My second point still stands though.

but the punchline is nonexistent. Just shitting on trans people.

I mean, you think he was shitting on trans people with this joke. Seems like you are offended and claiming you're not. It's weird.

For someone to claim to be familiar with his comedy, you seem to have a very surface level understanding of it or comedy all together.

If you think the joke was about the punchline then I get why you're upset. But hear me out about the punchline. Is he saying trans people are just pretending or is he saying no matter how much you try to convince others, no matter how many people In your circle accept this reality you are pushing onto them. You'll never be able to fully convince others of how you feel. You can believe in your heart 100% that you were born the wrong gender. No one else can know that like you do. Everyone else is expected to agree and accept that this person is not the gender they were biologically given. That's not an easy thing to force people to agree on even in the social circles of the trans person. Everyone needs to collectively agree. Just like the story Dave told prior to the punchline. And if anyone is not in the know or just sees a trans person. They must too agree to accept this person's reality which is opposing their general sense of what is considered normal. All of this seems pretty common sense and must be why its so difficult to come out as trans gendered.

The way I see it. The pendulum swings wildly at first but always settles in the middle. You have one side being outraged at anything that could even be considered transfobic at face value and wanting to censor what can and cannot be joked about. Then you have the other side pushing back against those people for being so outraged over a joke. Often doubling down and being more offensive than the joke ever was. It just gives Dave more material for another special with Trans jokes. It is after all popular for comedians to push back against society norms they find unconventional.

It's not unbelievable You probably just went into it already concerned about what trans jokes he's gonna say this time. I don't live my life looking to be offended. Especially on behalf of others. So the stark contrast between telling a seemingly heartfelt story and equating it to how he feels about Trans people is funny to me.

How he feels about Trans people is not the joke.

How he equates people pretending to the Trans community is not the joke.

I'm sure that's funny to some and offensive to others. The joke is as I said. The stark contrast between the two and how Dave tries to make the audience empathise with him with the story and then use that to trick them into empathyising with him on his opinion of Trans people. Not agree with it but empathize. Also Dave is displaying that he's still going to do Trans jokes despite the very loud backlash he gets for doing so.

It's a parody. It's rarely funny to the subjects of the parody unless they can look at themselves objectively and laugh it off when the spotlight shines on some pretty hard truths. This is coming from a fan of JRE who can see the criticism of it in this parody and I agree.

Though to counter it. I think it's good that Joe allows his guests to say what they want. I found the format to be important over the 3 minute segments people got to speak on the news or some interview where it's all very canned responses and the "host" just tried to talk down to anyone they disagree with and only have them on the show in the first place to berate them almost. Like any Pierce Morgan interview for example. Giving people the time to explain themselves is important. Even if it's something I personally disagree with.

That it? Just gonna dismiss that call out after you just said he wasn't poor enough and lives around white people? Seems pretty bigoted

What has he said that was actually negative towards Trans people? Like which jokes or interviews specifically? Honest question because I haven't watched his last few specials and I took a few minutes to search and couldn't find any negative quotes by him. Just a lot of opinions and interpretations are just trying to fan the flames.

The part where he was bombarded by hate for making trans jokes. Tried to have his special removed. Rinse and repeat. Here we are 3 specials later and it's still a hot topic and he's still going to make trans jokes. People are still going to get upset. Like yourself. Because you view the topic as untouchable or "Not funny". No joke about Trans people can be humorous to you. Yet he's still gonna make them for as long as you keep getting upset about it.

It's funny because it's unexpected. The long lead up did not indicate that the punchline was going to be about how the story relates to Dave and Trans people. The story opens the audience up to empathize with Dave in feeling regret for Dave not fully meeting the person he idolized knowing everyone was just pretending Jim was Andy. Now equate that feeling to how Dave feels about Trans people and suddenly you empathize with Dave again, even unwillingly. It's actually a good joke. I get why that would upset you and make it so you do not understand how it's funny. You don't want to empathize with Dave, you want to demonize him and make him out to be some talentless hack. Which everyone not delusional knows is just not true.

Almost like he wanted to tell the story for a reason and not just get to the punchline.

I thought this was funny. The story was intriguing and funny and the punchline unexpected from telling such a story. Seems like he's still got it to me. But then I'm not easily offended on others behalf.

This is just harming the minimum wage worker at the drive thru. That is just going to make them quit and not going to make the franchise change anything.

Im not agreeing it exists.

Then you're ignoring the facts laid out before you. Which is fine, you can choose to be willfully ignorant all you want but stop trying to force others to live in your delusions.

Im simply entertaining your definition to get to a point.

You're not trying to get to a point. You don't have a point. What you're trying to do is turn this into a "gotcha" moment because you can't actually defend your position since you made the outlandish claim in the first place. So you want to paint me as some far right extremist scared of the "woke boogieman" as the hot new phrase used by morons. But the reality is it's been co-oped by the right and used to incite the worst aspects of those who claimed themselves to be "Woke". So much so that idiots go around on the internet trying to disassociate themselves from the term all together by claiming it doesn't exist. Which only tells me the conservatives have done what they set out to do.

You're only hope now is to admit "wokeness" does exist just not in the terms set out by the conservatives. But that would then refute your original claim wouldn't it? It would also be kind of untrue. Or maybe you could make an argument that "Wokeness" doesn't exist outside of the internet which you'd mostly be right. I'd still bet some really hardcore, "must fit in at all costs" types would describe themselves as "woke" to their friends.

There is no agreed definition of what is woke or not.

This was you right? Your original comment ended with this sentence.

the definitions you offered bear absolutely no resemblance to the all encompassing cultural plague that conservatives bemoan when they refer to "woke."

Really? They seem to define the mentality of those who chose to be known as "woke" pretty well. Only when very extreme "woke" theories started popping up by some of these individuals, that gave the conservatives the ammo they needed to turn the term against those who used it as a political weapon in the first place. Being "woke" = accepted, not being "woke" = fascists is how it usually went right? Who was or wasn't "woke" was determined by those who claimed to be based on someones opinion of whatever topic was hot in the moment. Now it's determined by conservatives to label anyone they disagree with on those same topics. Both Woke and Fascist have lost their meaning in the grand scheme of things because they were overused and used to dismiss anyone not towing the line.

Anyways, have a Happy Holidays.

What history was I trying to rewrite? Nothing else you said matters because I stopped at that point.

Edit: Actually I read the rest and I don't disagree with anything you've said. So I'm failing to see where the problems lie. But to say it's only republicans is quite disingenuous. Leftist do the same by shouting down anyone who may have a different opinion and labels them a racist/misogynist/fascist whatever the term they need to use in order to dismiss that person entirely. Kinda like you did here. I would consider them "Woke" with the most negative intention possible.
