Sometimes I’m amazed by how many Internet SJWs express their outrage about women in film being portrayed as uptight and humorless by acting… uptight and humorless.

I mean, there’s a difference between thoughtful analysis and knee-jerk complaining over the tiniest thing. The latter does not help. Am I tired of most mainstream comedies being made up of a bunch of hilarious dudes and one or two token women? Sure. But I still enjoy a lot of those movies. You don’t have to be suffering from a case of the Internalized Misogynies to think Paul Rudd is still pretty fucking funny. And frankly, I resent the implication that all women who actually like Judd Apatow’s filmography are somehow ~traitors to feminism~ or whatever. You can enjoy things that aren’t perfect without being a terrible person.

Sometimes a movie is just a movie and a TV show is just a TV show. The internet needs to calm the fuck down.

This message is brought to you by my habit of reading shit that I know is just going to make me angry!

Filed under: I hate this idea that somehow thinking white guys are funny makes you sexist now. Most of the people I think are funny are white guys! Because there aren't that many women or POC in the game to begin with! And I'm sorry but I'm not going to blindly support people who aren't funny just because they're a minority in comedy! Let everybody like what they like! That's what I'm saying!
