MODERATORS
When you pull out specific lines without the entire context of the joke, you can make literally anything sound bad.
I posted the complete context. I just left a bit of how much he loves Jim Carrey.
Read yourself and judge later instead of making up your mind before the fact. You'll see it doesn't change for the better but gets worse if you read the whole thing. The part I pasted is pretty much the opener, so you won't have to dig deep.
They posted the transcript of the entire special. There is literally nothing they left out.
A transcript can miss the tone, intonation, body language, facial expressions, and all those other cues that give an entirely different interpretation of the words being said cant it? All those other cues make a difference in what is being said. As humans we react to facial and body expressions a huge amount in order to understand the context of a situation
You are just trying to get people to rage watch it.
The transphobia is obviously, clearly there. It won't stop being fucked up and shitty because he giggled after he said it.
Oh, so he said it in a funny voice. I'm still not going to watch it.
