Trolls win.
They'll get Chris Rock to come in and discuss homophobia by making fun of black celebs, just like he touched on 'Oscars So White' by making fun of black celebs,

I dig that this was a personal goal of his and now he's done it. Props.
You can say that againWell this type of response didn't take long
Kevin was dumb for those tweets. Oh well. . .Grand opening, grand closing
I think the frustration stems from the fact that for a group that carries the clout they apparently do, the LGBTQ community loves to dish it but can’t take it, and any little thing sets them off. Kevin Hart’s gonna be replaced by someone who probably has skeletons in his/her closet but hey, they didn’t shyt on gay people so the show must go on!Honestly, I think people have a right to be angry. If Jerry Seinfeld had a bunch of tweets saying he would try hard to prevent his son from ever marrying or associating with black people, I would want him to get shyt for hosting the Oscars. People seem to only call things fake outrage when it's directed at a group they don't like. When it's directed at them, they feel justified in being outspoken and critical. The LGBTQ community makes up a substantial percentage of the Hollywood community, they have a right to be side-eyeing anyone who is saying shyt about them.

Show me a comedian that got to where he/she is without offending some segment of society and I’ll show you an unfunny comedian.
We live in a society where our two favorite pastimes are football and getting offended while offending. The timing of this is weird. Someone dug up tweets from a long time ago as soon as Kevin Hart got the Oscar gig. Where was this energy before? It’s as if people wait for something really good to happen to you before they decide to get offended. People got too much time on their hands to be conducting social media cavity searches on these celebrities.White people say this about US all the time when we speak up about racism. Like I said, it depends on who it's directed at and who is judging that determines when the outrage is "justified". I do think you're raising a great point though. I don't know where we're going with the call out culture thing. Purity culture demands that everyone be unproblematic. But I also have issues with people who tell people to shut up when someone says something offensive. We go from one extreme to the other. People say what they want, and no one calls them out, does that mean we're condoning that behavior? Do people have to laugh along when the shyt is not funny at all? Who gets to decide what's funny and shouldn't be offensive. I think all of this is stuff we're gonna have to really sort out soon because like you said, everyone has done something offensive. I just wonder though when white people get offended, suddenly it's a legitimate beef. Why are other groups being offended not legitimate?
