People Who Were On the Flight Logs

So is it the consensus amongst the majority of y'all that you think comedians in general are anti-liberal? You reference it as like the Joe Rogan crowd, but a huge portion of comedians all hang out and frequent his show (Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Louis CK, Bert Kreischer, Tom Segura, Ari Shaffir, Shane Gillis, Theo Von, Joey Diaz, Andrew Schulz, Russell Brand, Mark Normand, Dave Attell, etc.).

Are they really anti anything or are they just comedians? Are all jokes involving trans people transphobic or can they be jokes? I say that because some of you are saying Theo says some homophobic or transphobic stuff but you're almost certainly referring to jokes he's made. And to that point, should we stop telling jokes that involve the LGBTQ community unless they're told by someone in that community?

I'm just curious people's opinions on it because there are some instances in this thread where a comedian was "cancelled" for jokes. But beyond that, I'd like to be more informed on what y'all think should or shouldn't be something joked about.

I think bill burr is the only guy on that list I really care about at this point.

lol I always think back to him being on those shows too. He and The Miz both made it relatively big in the entertainment industry after Real World/Road Rules stuff. Are there other people who have stuck around that I'm not aware of? I know the lead guy from the Grimm tv show a few years ago started on Road rules but I never saw him on there.

Rachel Campos Duffy is now on Fox News!  Jamie Chung from RW: San Diego is an actress.

I feel like it’s pretty obvious when a comedian crosses a line with a joke. I think some of the comedians you mentioned like Mark Normand are a little more tactful with making jokes about subjects like LGBTQ rights than others. I also think if you combat the idea of their being valid criticisms of your jokes it’s really lame.

Doesn’t help that right now as a comedian you can just say something controversial, say “people can’t take a joke anymore” and then go on a tour titled something like “No snowflakes allowed” and make millions

Dont forget about Rachels husband Sean who was in congress for multiple terms. It was interesting watching real world boston and essentially him just being a harmless dude that was really conservative af and nobody knew the wiser til afterwards. Except he was fine giving those kids booze!

Sean left his last gig cause of his youngest child that had health issues and wanted to focus on his family. Or so he says. Now rachel is just the hate mouthpiece.

I’m sorry you had to suffer through that. You definitely aren’t alone in this. I don’t know the “severity” of your assault, but I’ve had a few encounters in my life where in hindsight I felt taken advantage of to the point where if the tables were turned it could very easily be viewed as assault.

About 6-7 years ago, there was a woman who I had gone on a few dates with and slept with twice. I decided that we weren’t going to work out so I explicitly ended things with her. We were in the same general circle of friends so I was around her often, but I maintained a clear boundary with her. At a party one night, I got black out drunk (it was during a dark period of time after my divorce where I got black out drunk too often) and she ended up being the DD for me and two other friends. I remember getting in the car with the three of them. Next thing I know, I’m waking up in a strange house. She had taken me to her home instead of mine and slept with me that night. It was super awkward for me and I couldn’t leave because I had no car.

Another time, in college, I came home from the bar drunk. My roommate’s female cousin and sister were staying the weekend with us, but I had been hanging out with other people. I went straight to my bed as I was about to pass out. His cousin followed me and came into my room and got in my bed without my permission. I was not interested in her, most importantly because it was my friends cousin and he had explicitly said he felt uncomfortable with friends hitting on his family. I told her if she needed a bed she could have mine and that I’d sleep on the couch. She aggressively tried to get me to stay with her. I attempted to leave multiple times but eventually decided it was easier to just let it happen than to keep arguing.

These stories are very tame compared to what I consider to be assault, but I think it speaks to a bigger problem in our society that just assumes any time a woman is sexually aggressive to someone that it’s always a good thing and to be thankful.

None of this is to diminish the systematic abuses men have brought towards others in our society, whether by intimidation, inequitable power dynamics, etc. But I guess I’m just saying that you’re not alone

Oh wow, didn't realize she was on one of those shows. She's been great in a lot of small parts on various sitcoms I've seen.

It's almost like the same trajectory of going from DnD/Discord to Inforoo as going from MTV's Real World to Hangover Pt. 2.

So what did Disney and Marvel and other studios know, because it seems basically impossible to me that they didn't know anything. I guess they mostly know all of this stuff and just don't care.

There are plenty of movie stars who have acted this way, but it was at a time when news couldn't spread this fast. 

So it sounds like a Cosby type thing. Open secret in the industry that normal folk maybe don't hear much about. But those in the business are discussing it behind the scenes
