Tight ass critics try to shut down Dave Chappelle's Sticks & Stones. Fans say FU!!

So supposedly Rotten Tomatoes open the review of Sticks & Stones to 5 progressive critics and the 5 gave him 0%. Then the opened it to the public and it recieved an average score of 99%. Currently from reviews it's a 30% and Audience is 99%.

I've seen it a few times and find it hilarious. The fact that it's called Sticks & Stones should let people know what they are in for. Critics are tearing it up and calling it a failure. While fans love it. Why such a disconnect between the two?

They just lost the last piece of credibility with that move. I always wondered why people give them much creds...hopefully these shady ass moves helps people see and exposes them for the puppets.

I also loved Sticks & Stones and thought it was hilarious.

The critics have to worry about getting paid and most of the American media are liberal. Publish or perish.

This is why Trump will probably win again. The public is really starting to turn against this sort of nonsense, and these idiots haven’t clued into it yet. This identity politics stuff doesn’t work, it accomplishes nothing other than alienating moderates and giving your political opponents ammunition to use. The left really needs to rethink this strategy.

I say this as a liberal.

Also, I don’t understand why people have such issues with this sort of thing. It’s a Dave Chappelle comedy show. He’s always been like this. Go watch Chappelle’s show. His bread and butter is inflammatory comedy, and he’s great at it. Why would you watch a Dave Chappelle comedy special if you’re the easily offended type? Like, you know what he’s about, you know what you’re gonna get, if that doesn’t appeal to you, just don’t watch. He can’t trigger your self-diagnosed PTSD if you don’t watch his shows. What happened to personal responsibility? It’s not on comedians to never say anything offensive, what a bland, boring world that would be to live in. It’s on us to be responsible about the media we consume. If there’s something I know I won’t like, I don’t watch it. Don’t watch Alex Jones, don’t watch Gavin McInnes, don’t watch any of that stuff because it’s not for me. I don’t think they shouldn’t be allowed to perform, though, I’m just not gonna watch it.

Dave Chappelle and Louis CK are genius comics with a pulse on social mores. Both have been beat down, one way or another but both will ultimately prevail. WGAF about fru fru critics, most of them are being conscientiously dishonest. I have Sticks and Stones on my menu feed. I'll give my own review once I get around to it.

 

[Insidious Von]

I saw Joe Rogan's stand up, he's fucking funny in his own right. He's fast on his delivery, he requires complete attention.

There was a bigger issue raised here. There is influential media trying to manipulate people. I'd rather support Dave Chappelle saying some off-color remarks then side with people who are trying to manipulate and choreograph information.

As the interviewee in the Joe Rogan clip regarding Louis CK says, the material is for the people who bought a ticket. The same thing can be said for Chappelle's Netflix special. The material is for people who clicked on it and chose to watch.

I think some of your recent comments have been flirting with the idea that it's okay to try to silence people. Maybe it's explicitly not trying to take away their freedom of speech, but manipulating information to try to make it appear that Chappelle's comedy special is unanimously terrible is dangerous.

We should all applaud the power of the internet gives us because it's far easier to uncover this manipulation.

Critics have long held biases against movies and shows that aren't progressive or PC enough for their taste. I've also noticed critics will tear up a movie if it's not original, even if it's otherwise very good.

I lean fiscally Conservative, in that I prefer lower taxes and fewer government services/interferences, but I've always leaned socially liberal. Though in the last ten years I've moved to the center. And I'll tell you why. I don't judge people for their sexuality, and therefore support gay marriage. However, homosexuality is a biological fact. Facts are what I care about. Which is why I think it's ridiculous that we would create dozens of different pronouns to describe what gender people feel they belong to.

In my book:
If you have a penis, you're male.
If you have a vagina, you're female.
If you're transitioning, you're a transsexual.
If you have both a penis and a vagina, you're a hermaphrodite.
If you have no sex organs, you are genderless.

That's it. What do each of these have in common? What you feel has no relevance. Only your actual biological make-up does.

That's just one reason I no longer lean left socially. There's all kinds of this ridiculous, "feel-good" nonsense that, far from bringing us together, actually segregates us into these little identity groups.

I could not agree more. People say this sort of nonsense is in the name of inclusiveness, but in my experience, that’s far from true. Just look at the lexicon. We have words like “cishet” floating around now. People will argue that that’s simply a term to differentiate from biological heterosexuals, but I’ve never seen it not used as a pejorative. This sort of activism doesn’t bring us together, it just splits us into tons of little camps that are all on the defensive, circling the wagons. It turns everything into us vs. them. All of these little factions we’ve seen have their own words. Incels are calling people “cumbrains” (which apparently means that people who have sex are addicts who only care/think about ejaculating) now.

This is not healthy. We need to build a world on empathy and mutual respect, not on division. We should celebrate the things that make us the same, not focus on the things that make us different. Cliques made people hate life in high school, why would anyone think that’s a good idea for broader life?

 

[Insidious Von]

Ok this is a swerve but this is the clip that got me hooked on Rogan's podcast. Wife Beater gets his.

 

[Smallcock]

The critics are the same people that drive MSM sentiment. They're out of touch with the general populace. But their fake news, fake outrage, and fake empire is crumbling.

Cumbrain is quite a good meme.
It just is someone who is obsessed with sex - which includes incels.
Incels want sex, otherwise they would just be celibate not involuntary celibate.

That’s exactly why it’s so silly. It applies to incels as much, if not more (given that their entire identity as an incel revolves around sex) than everyone else. And while yes, it technically is supposed to mean someone who’s obsessed with sex, incels are now using it to apply to anyone who has sex at all, as if they’re actually better than us because they don’t have sex. It’s all so delightfully ludicrous.

It’s also based on junk science, but that’s neither here nor there.

Bingo! The tide has turned. Political correctness has run amok and the backlash is well underway.

Ya think?

He started a thread in the political forum, all petulant and triggered, turns out he hadn't even watched the show LOL! How can he have such strong opinions just by reading others' commentary that happens to conveniently align with his fanatical leftist ideologies?

jcpro, smallcock, omegaphallic and a few others nailed it.


Personally I loved the show, but I've always been a huge fan of Chappelle's anyway.

The media needs to realize that social media is, by and large, not reflective of society as a whole. Just because a few hundred loudmouths on twitter raise a big stink about something doesn’t mean that’s something most people will care about. They’re pandering to the 1% who have nothing better to do than be outraged over every little thing while alienating the 99% who roll their eyes at that kind of silliness.
