Samantha Bee calls Ivanka Trump a feckless cunt in response to the for some reason viral photo of Ivanka with her toddler. I don’t get the controversy over this particular photo or the controversy over this line. I do know that Bee shouldn’t have apologized. The people mad at her for saying it won’t forgive her and her supporters will just perceive it as weakness.
They should cancel her show!
I’m actually surprised every time I hear she still has a show.
She probably won’t, but they may put her on hold for a while. Again, don’t cancel the fucking show. This, unlike Roseanne, is a comment that isn’t broadly offensive but is rather just an insult to a political figure. Canceling everything over “offensive” language is a slippery slope.
Yep.
But I mean Roseanne’s show was annoying at best. Her comparing someone to an animal was poor taste at best.
But comedians have been doing that for ages (Trump as an orangutan for example) so cancelling a whole show because of the tweet of 1 cast member is sort of stupid in its own way.
Producers should’ve just got her to make an episode where she was compared to a hippo and had her work through her feelings on it.
I don’t know. I guess I’m just thinking being oversensitive sort of short-changes the chances to actually fix problems instead of just muffling them up.
Or something
