where’s the interview w/ andy samberg where the interviewer asks about why there’s no jokes made around holt being gay and andy’s face twitches like “don’t do it.” and the interviewer goes on like “we live in such a weird PC culture though!” and andy laughs so uncomfortably i need it for science
The ironic thing is, there are plenty of jokes which involve him being gay. But it just doesn’t register as humor to those people if it’s not making fun of him for it, or using his sexuality as the actual punchline. A show actually respects its characters (for the most part) while still managing to provide top-notch humor and all a lot of people have to say is complaining about “pc culture”
i don’t understand how anyone who’s watched the episodes where ray holt pretends to be a hetero would ever believe that there are “no jokes about him being gay.”
because that’s not the problem. the problem is that the jokes about him being gay are specifically for an lgbtq audience. they’re jokes that heteros don’t understand because for once, we’re not the punchline like we usually are. we’re not being made fun of in a way that tears us down. they’re jokes about the absurdity of our existence. of having to fake being straight, even though a lot of us are actually really bad at it, and having straight people actually believe you.
the other really great example is that one joke ray holt makes in the first season, about how the hardest thing about being a gay black police officer in the nypd is the discrimination. that joke was funny for so many reasons, and yet, not a single straight person really got it when i watched it with them. it feels like there are no jokes because the jokes aren’t intended for straight/homophobic people, where the punchline isn’t all about how they relate to us. it’s about how we relate to them for once, and that’s the greatest thing.
other show’s lgbt jokes are “loltranswomen” or “lol flamboyant gay men”
brooklyn nine nine’s lgbt jokes are “we got married as quickly as we could bc we were worried they’d repeal it” and then footage of Kevin and Raymond not letting the officient finish his sentence before they say “I do”
Whichever way this election goes, the resulting fallout will not be pretty, so please.
Please look out for each other. Take care of your neighbor.
Bring back some light, hope, and humanity to the world around you. Small kindnesses can make a person’s day! Pay it forward!
Do not let a difference of opinion, race, identity, or faith stop you from helping your fellow human being if they need it. Show them that a political circus will not rob the world of kindness.
If you have no faith in whoever is elected, have faith in each other, and in yourself, to make a better world for those to come after you.
why didnt zootopia have an underwater zone full of like fish prey and shark predators underwater worlds are so fun and beautiful and it would have been so cool and creative and i want it
I know this blog is not a political blog and is only halfways a personal blog but IF YOU’RE AMERICAN
PLEASE.
👏
GO.
👏
OUT.
👏
AND.
👏
VOTE. 👏
WE CANNOT AFFORD THIS CHEETO PUFF. PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF EVERY MINORITY! EVERY WOMAN YOU KNOW, EVERY LGBT+ PERSON, EVERY POC, WILL SUFFER IF HE GETS IN. WE WILL LOSE SO MUCH PROGRESS.
PLEASE, PLEASE, VOTE HILLARY.
And for those that think that it doesn’t matter or that Trump won’t be THAT bad, remember that there will be more seats to fill during these next few years as many SCOTUS members will probably kick the bucket and that the president appoints these LIFE LONG POSITIONS. Vote Hillary so we don’t lose all the progress we’ve made in 60 years to conservative old fucktards that want to change rulings on so much
Not to mention if clinton wins, bernie sanders will be the cheif budget advisor which will arguably give him more power than the president. He will be in a better position to be able to raise taxes to the 1% and such
