hey yo this is the grossest shittiest video i’ve seen all day hella props for all the misogyny great work you’re great (i hope u die)
relax, we are all going to eventually die
yay, slut-shaming.
Why is it that comedians can crack jokes about all sorts of offensive stuff, but when this girl does it, everyone goes nuts? Because whatever she said was definitely not as bad as ”I hope you die”. It was a joke on the over-dramatization of sexuality in the music industry;
as far as ‘slut-shaming goes’, when you wear an outfit, you make a choice as to how people will see you. If you don’t like the way they perceive you, change your outfit or be prepared to own it. It is something you can help- it is not a race issue or a body type issue.
Should they ‘shame’ you for it? No. But drawing a stereotype for the sake of comedy, is literally only that. Famous comedians do it all of the time- you’re supposed to bring your own sense to it.
The people who are offended by this are probably also offended when famous comedians do it. It’s just that most people aren’t offended by this sort of thing because shaming a woman based on her perceived sexuality is actually fairly normative, so the majority response is to laugh instead of to be offended. The same is probably true with this video. You just happened to stumble upon a minority opinion.
Either way, just because someone calls something comedy doesn’t mean you have to think it’s funny, and I don’t think demeaning women who have and enjoy sex—or at least appear to—is funny. Also, it strikes me as a poor quality Jenna Marbles knock off (who, notably, has similarly been criticized for slut shaming), and I don’t know what bronzer has to do with clubbing baby seals. Making slut jokes is one of the most overdone gags on the internet, and that in and of itself should be plenty reason not to laugh at this video.
