    Arthur Chu Retweeted Black Lives Matter

    There's a lot of irony in that the stereotype used to be classic joke-telling (snappy, concise, requires "genuine" wit) was coded "masculine" and meandering, emotive, just-hanging-out conversation was coded "feminine" *Real* standup vs. Those Chicks at The View Well now lookhttps://twitter.com/robintran04/status/1377131267351715845 …

    The reason a lot of male comics hate TikTok is because they don’t know how to be funny in under a minute because they don’t know how to edit their jokes so they do 4-hour podcasts instead

        All these big-brained dickish comedy critics being like "Crafting a short self-contained joke that makes sense and makes you laugh requires *IQ*, it requires *analysis*, so that's why *men* do it It's women with their emotive, relational, squishy brains who like 'just chatting'"

        Now that Tiktoks and Vines are more and more a feminine/queer thing and cishet dudebros are the ones doing eight-hour-long livestreams where they pass a joint around and just vibe, they're desperately trying to completely reverse the stereotypes but still push them

        ("Anyone can just *tell a joke* by riffing on popular memes of the day based on their squishy, relational, emotive, people-reading female brains It takes a tough thoughtful serious complex deep male brain to craft a *fleshed-out POV* that people seek to engage with long-term)

        There's probably people who will straight up defend both points of view, saying that jokes from old standup sets are different from modern-day Tiktoks, and hangout podcasts today are different from The View, because "the dude ones are actually smart and funny" Well, fuck 'em

        Definitely. But i think it was mostly a generational thing. Comedians coming up in the 80s and 90s lost the ability to craft quick stand-alone type jokes. Except for like Mitch Hedberg

        Also, the longform humor is targeted towards a much more narrow audience. Neurodivergent people are going to have a difficult time engaging with it, for example, and the creators make no effort to engage with such groups more.

        Whereas even in a more friendly format, tiktoks, often neurodivergent or otherwise people that might struggle to engage with longform media, absolutely pander to those kinds of brains despite ALREADY BEING EASIER FOR US TO DIGEST
