This thread shows there are two type of people in this world
Those who just want to laugh and those who want to a deep message

Is it weird that it kinda sounded like he was pandering towards them alil.. almost like he was ‘cushioning’ his blows.. saying shyt like he ‘loves old school gays’, ‘he’s envious of their movement’ the ‘glory hole’ segment, his ‘tranny friends’

it was a lot of admiration and reverence moreso than criticism.. he wasn’t really going at them the way the thread making it seem.. I personally found him to be bit too complimentary towards them in efforts to buffer the ‘jokes’

Right. This felt kind of like him having a conversation with them as opposed to making fun of them for jokes. He's saying y'all are really shytting on other people while playing victim.

There should be a trans comedian that does cisgender jokes just for the hell for it

But would those jokes hit though? Would they slap? What would they even be?

I was thinking the same thing
It felt like a white comedian making jokes about black people, but saying I'm cool with black people hell even saying I got black friends.

Like someone else said they weren’t really the target. He was using them to comment on white and Jewish privilege. The only thing he didn’t do was come out say the only reason their movement is advancing is because it contains white and Jewish men.

Maybe when he does a 5th special on the LGBT…

exactly.. thread on some “Yess! Someone finally standing up to the LGBT community” when the subtext indicates that he actually respects and stands behind their movement.. seems a bit ‘integrate-ish’ ..I don’t think ppl picking up on that

 

[The G.O.D II]

fukk all the social shyt is this funny? He’s last few specials have been bricks

It's more social than funny

 

[TripleAgent]

GENIUS

 

[The Fade]

Dude is calling out white gays for finessing minority shyt while still being racist

how many times does he have to say it lol

 

[CobaltBlue]

Rich couldn't stop being funny if he tried lol, that's not the point I was getting at.

When you have mastered the craft to an extent, showing up and getting people to chuckle or even laugh out loud isn't the challenge anymore. The court jester was one of the few people who could criticize the king and the nobles without getting his head lopped off, because it was understood that he was there to point out absurdities and speak for the commoners perspective. So there is a deeper responsibility for a comic than just making people laugh. You have the cover to be brave and speak on the behalf of the unheard. You don't ever stop being funny , you just understand your purpose beyond being a fukking clown.

It’s all g breh.. I just didn’t think it was funny, which would actually make that stale topic from him a little more insightful. But each his own.

He has maintained throughout that his goal was not to pick on the alphabet gang, specifically trans people, but to INCLUDE THEM.

The worst thing about being a marginalized group is people ignoring who you are and what you go through either out of spite or political correctness. White folks that 'don't see color' don't always consciously erase our struggle but that's what happens when you refuse to include the nuances that make all of this shyt that you're commenting on run.

Refusing to let them show up, be off in the corner as critics and not participants is a sure fire way to keep the rest of society quiet about why they're marginalized in the first place. This is why he said empathy is bi-sexual, it must go both ways.
