A good pretzel bun is fantastic. But 9 times outta 10 is some stale, too-dense, chewy monstrosity of disappointment

Lol that dude was not being an asshole. Getting a little defensive?

Every day?

See how easy that was? The fact that so many people got up in arms immediately, yet provided no evidence suggests to me that people are overreacting and that there isn’t really any evidence. So now I’m going to carry that opinion forward.

Rowling absolutely doesn’t matter enough to me to research any further, and people digging their heels in and calling me names has done nothing but make me believe that their evidence is either fabricated or overblown. I’m done with this, I was way more invested in conversation on lemmy than I was in Rowling’s alleged transphobia.

Well then you’re just as dumb as the guy who suggested it in the first place. I don’t give af about Rowling, I simply asked for some evidence. Maybe she’s a piece of shit, but how would I know? Everyone in this thread is just like “DUH SHES OBVIOUSLY A BIGOT YOU MORON”. the only info I have on the subject was the opinion piece she wrote in the last couple years. Don’t be a cynical twat.

It’s frustrating for sure. My original post just said “can you send me a link?” and I thought to myself, “someone’s just going to tell me I’m arguing in bad faith”, so I immediately edited my comment to add context, ie “I don’t have Twitter and her account shows nothing to me. I read her blurb last year and it seemed reasonable BUT I KNOW IT WAS HER OPINION AND I ONLY SAW ONE SIDE”

It shouldn’t have surprised me that people still downvote me, call me names, and have extreme reactions. I’ve really been hoping that lemmy comments aren’t as toxic as reddit, but here we are.

Have a good weekend duder.

Cheers, buddy.

Kinda thought Lemmy comments were at least mostly good-faith arguments. You’ve single handedly convinced me that Lemmy is just as cancerous as reddit. Don’t respond.

But also…watch “killing them softly”. Do yourself a favor, it’s fantastic.

Fair. I, along with a vast majority of western audiences, thought he was king of comedy for a solid 5 years in the early 2000s. Thanks for being civil.

Didn’t age well? Lol, ok. I have a feeling you’ve never watched any Dave Chappelle ever. But you do you.

Did you even read your own link, you neanderthal? I asked one time for clarification. I literally have no horse in this race and I support trans rights. Get lost, you illiterate chucklefuck.

Can you post a link or screenshot or something? I don’t have a Twitter account and when I tried to go to her page, it only showed a single tweet.

I read her op-ed last year or whenever and it read as exactly the way the commenter above generalized her. Obvs she wrote it so I only saw one side.

Edit: lol downvoted for asking for some clarification. What is this, reddit?

He also played a blind klansman. It’s comedy, jesus

This is insane revisionist history. Watch “killing them softly” and try to make the same comments. Don’t bother replying with “I’ve seen it and it’s not funny!!!”, everyone knows it’s one of the greatest stand-up specials of all time
