im 21 minutes in and want to point out that cartoon was AI generated. none of the faces are distinct, the further you look into the crowd they start to melt together, the shadows are inconsistent and their fingers and arms are all disconnected and melt into each other. the only human intention in that image is the text on the signs. which someone had to type out for it to be legible. which implies either she wrote it or shared it from another platform in which this AI generated image was posted to. no one would draw something like this.
What the actual sigma
i wanted to get physical with this woman, its not just ignorance because she’s dumb, she’s knows what she’s doing, even when she weaponises these agendas like feminism and fatphobia, she’s not naive
I love your content and even when I find certain posts of yours difficult to deal with I stay with them because I do respect so much of what you do, but there's one major issue I have with an off-the-cuff statement you made, Matt, at the 23:10 mark by defining Jews and/or Israelis as white. Jews are not white. Never were and never will be, and actually a huge percentage of the Jewish population in Israel is from Africa, Middle East and Southern Europe so definitely not white. Definitely in the eyes of all the countries Jews were ethnically cleansed they were not white enough, so for you to come out with that statement is blatantly problematic.
Loved this video. I was a fan of inside Amy Schumer because it’s first few seasons were impressively funny and clever…but I question how much of it was due to Amy considering once she left Comedy Central and moved to paramount, the show was unwatchable. Not that this matters because there are more substantial and greater concerns; her feelings on Palestine and (white)feminism need no speculation.
I think the "go there and be gay" comments are thinly veiled wishes for their assumed consequences for your queerness... they want you to stop, not just what you're doing, but entirely, and it's a roundabout way for them to tell you that's what they want for you... it's wishing you death in the most racist way possible
Given that one of the views on the tweet was clearly Rowling herself... That tweet had 4 views.
great great great video, thank you
actually the video shows she was not stabbed .. what a joke
pro-zionists [aka pro-genocide] have billions of dollars behind them. while pro-Palestinians have billions of people.
I really hate how Martin Luther King, Jr. is treated like America's sweetheart, as if he wasn't the most hated man in the country before he died.
they want us to condemn students and talk only about student protests because they want to stop the conversation about the actual genocide.
it is not anti-semitic to oppose war crimes also btw, Palestinians are semitic
mass media in the west is the most shameful media in history
if Z!on!$ts do not want to be called Naz!$, than they should stop acting like Naz!$
That last quote got me. Literally, where is Beyoncé? And she is not even black, isn't she a feminist in mayus? Where did all those enormous white capital letters went?
Zionism is not white. That's just a falsehood. It's supremacist in some factions, yeah, but it's not white supremacy.
Love that she tried to claim she’s the most successful female comedian of ALL time. That’s just such a blatant lie
ur nails look cool asf here i love the shade and how pointy they are
When i watched love, simon i related to having your coming out moment talking out of you, and was happy for we having a happy gay story instead of painful homophobia
Being a black person both Lena and Amy have always been racist… it’s just about how well they can pivot from that to another thing.
People just need to be who they are.
Gosh, you are SUCH a good interviewer, Matt! Absolutely loved this, and having Maia as your guest! It's like your plucking all my fav's out of thin air and bringing them on your show. Excellent episode. I've never really enjoyed Amy Schumer's comedy for a lot of the reasons discussed in the later part of this interview, but it could also just be me being a grump who doesn't enjoy movies/stand up as much as I used to. The examples of what she's been saying recently literally made my jaw drop. I appreciate (both of your) level-headed analysis about the whole thing.
By “Spiral into Madness” you mean, “Challenge the nonsensical, dubious, contradictory, dogmatic, regressive, intellectually dishonest, creepy, and insanely narcissistic demands and claims of a party of performative cultish minds” right? It’s hilarious how full of shit you all are. “Sex isn’t real! Sex isn’t relevant! But, I need to undergo multiple surgeries, and take hormones and drugs for the rest of my life in order to mimic those very specific characteristics only found in the opposite sex! If you call out my contradictions and have a problem with me showering with your 10 year old daughter, you are Nazi adjacent!” Talk about madness. The self-righteous witch hunters of the 21st century everybody!
I was going to say- taylor has so many of the same problems. The only difference is really that amy is an open zionist
I only know Amy because anti-sjw CZcams channels loved dunking on her, and it seemed like a lot of people out of that sphere considered her painfully unfunny as well. I've never watched her content so I can't comment on that much.
Colonizers will never see the humanity of the people they oppress. It's sad, I haven't thought about Amy Schumer for a while (somehow completely missed her IG meltdown) but I remember liking her comedy initially, then the critics started coming for her and hints of her white feminism started to appear so I fell off.
44:27 Oww she only wants hugs and to peacefully support geno cide 🥺
Fast forward to 2024 and people are questioning whether sex is just a social construct and even real. ✊
Also! That post mocking the Palestinian protests looks AI made, idk I just find it really funny and ironic that even those bad taste boomers memes are now AI made lmao
to associate gazans with Hamas is in consciousable?
Unconscionable? Because if so yes
19:16 gotta chime in with the reminder that most of the people in gaza are minors at this point because all the adults have been murdered. Sp way to weaponize victimized women to further incite the victimization of children. Its so helpful...
Oh THATS what people meant. I also found it hard to tell what critiques were based in reality and what were troll efforts so this is incredibly helpful. I’ve never wanted a twitter so I didn’t see most of this stuff contemporaneously.
Omg the drama triangle was literally in a mtl cult about this
I’ve never found her funny. There sooo many female comics out there that are actually good at what they do and don’t get 1% of the publicity she gets 😏
" I used to live in Israel" oh and you were allowed to leave? Don't you see how that's different?
Add Nikki Glaser to the list
She always annoyed me, but I love those yard signs lol. They make me feel safe(r) among the local home grown terrorists.
Her being on the cover of Vanity with the title "The Power of Women" while Palestinian women are dying in droves from lack of sanitary products and black and queer women are being constantly scrutinized and persecuted here in the US tells me everything about how mainstream "feminism" nowadays has become nothing more than a literal vanity project for privileged white women to winge about how oppressed they are by trans women and women of color.
The way you say Amyyy🫣 31:08 right on 👀😄 thank you for sharing this my sentiment is 💯 mutual Watching this episode feels very cathartic 🫶🏽 🇵🇸
I loved Johnny but since the 90s he’s been known to be volatile .bad boy .. ( trashing hotels etc) And I must say I was really uncomfortable during their case as I myself was in process of leaving my emotionally abusive ex .. And the way everyone on social media was supporting him made me ill! I’m not saying she was an angel but the Mysoginists came out of the woodwork and it was just awful! Why the fuck would she lie !? And I watched it again and he was smug AF and LYING playing the victim! And that awful witch of a lawyer of his? I felt like punching her in the face! Especially the other freak of a guy! So sad for her .. Just the way he smashed the cabinets. , tantruming like a freaking kid was intimidating enough!
The Variety cover is giving off strong Serena Joy vibes ..
“White feminism”? This video achieves new intellectualized levels anti-white racism. These two make it look so effortless.
As a cis woman who doesn't menstruate, language like "people who menstruate" is more inclusive FOR ME, because directing medical advice at all women that has to do with menstruation is not medically accurate to my experience as a cis woman, and to be honest is a little alienating - the implication being that because I'm a woman who doesn't menstruate, I am medically "wrong" or not really a woman.
No one is denying that menstruation has a social and political connection with the experience of misogyny, and although I don't menstruate, I do feel personally harmed when menstruation is stigmatized, because I know that the root cause of that stigma is misogyny, and I'm a woman. I have to assume most trans women are also offended by misogyny that doesn't personally biologically affect them, because misogyny in any form hurts all women to some extent. I guess I'd compare it to my experience of being Jewish, where I don't personally wear religious garb, but if there were attacks on Jews who do, I would take that personally, I would feel solidarity. It's the difference between a specific act of harm being directed at you individually vs the ability to still be harmed by the existence of sexist/racist/antisemitic systems, even if one particular embodiment of that bigotry would not directly affect me and my body. I guess the fear that these people have might be that menstruation and pregnancy might be depoliticized through more inclusive language. Like, if we start talking about "pregnant people", are we not allowed to fight for "women's reproductive health"? I do think it's still important to recognize that attacks on reproductive health are overwhelming rooted in misogyny. But is anyone denying that......? That logical jump just doesn't hold up when you look at the actual real world. And also, how does it hurt the movement to acknowledge that misogynistic policies also negatively affect people who aren't women?
39:00 now i'm thinking how much we need to look within ourselves and process our emotions so we can analyze social issues with our humanity but without generalizing our experience. Social issues need study, listening, reflecting...
17:07 for what i feel and what i'm hearing "detransition" is "retransition"... Is just another experience of adapting to another gender expression... People change... That is fine...
although this was interesting, i'm not sure how i feel about the sudden "tea-ification" of genocide. on one hand, the tone of this podcast could help educate those in an accessible way on media literacy, critiquing white feminism/"activism", but ultimately, the tone of this ep seems a bit too flippant, jokey, and casual for the subject matter. i'm sure that wasn't the intention-but it feels tonally off.
Babes, your videos fuel me. Thanks so much for making brilliant informative content. You make my life better. Xx
Perhaps a good topic for a follow-up video would be how ableist Amy Schumer is. Since her husband was diagnosed autistic, she’s spread an incalculable amount of misinformation regarding the autistic neurotype and the Autistic community and hired Michael Cera (who has never identified as autistic) to play her autistic husband in her “Life & Beth” TV series. Additionally, the way she speaks about her husband is like someone speaking about a pet. It’s truly revolting.
she is a mess.. but the fatphobia and misogyny will never be OK.. beyond the point... like the Melania Trump hate train ..etc
