Ultimate comedian privilege:
Being offended that somebody doesn't want to read your tweets that you wrote with the intention to offend.

I saw some of this episode live, and some of Chemda's facial expressions were things I'd like to have on a t-shirt.

Thanks for persisting in explaining the tone-deafness to him. It seemed like he might be listening and having it sink in a little. Maybe. We can only hope.

(Also, "I mean, ha ha, I don't know good art from bad art!" and a few sentences later, wishing so hard he could label the art as bad. Awww.)

Ok... But what if..... The black person.... is a hot woman?

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooo.

"why do I have to sound on the side of right? Why can't I be a bad guy and still people like me?" Fucking troglodyte. "Why can't I say that person's art is bad? Adurrrrr"‬

Not a fan. There's my subjective opinion. You presented your brand of comedy, and I reject. Hope someone else likes it.

I know so many people like this.

They are exhausting because you can tell they aren't shit people but they're too fragile to admit they might be wrong.

That said, I appreciate Chemda's patience and emotional labor because I used to be one of those people and my patient friends and larger social group changed me into a person who gets to angrily roll my eyes at people like this.

Toothbrush
 

Not on purpose (in relation to leaving my toothbrush at a boyfriends place)

When Jared started up on his justification for his tweets it became clear he really hadn't put too much effort into thinking about why he feels under attack by the concept of privilege.

Save me from white dudes whose only complaint of suffering is that "hot girls don't like me" or "I'm not getting enough comedy spots". My cousin is scared to make the drive between New Orleans and Atlanta because the majority of the drive is through Mississippi and Alabama.

Also why is it so much easier for me as a black women to acknowledge my class and hetero privilege. I'm so confused as to why white guys are so godamn offended. Fucking snowflakes. Yes privilege exists and we all benefit or suffer depending on our identity. Instead of whining about it, how about you fucking help. I hated him. Throw the whole comedian away.
