"I got people on Twitter to think I'm shitty! That'll show 'em!"

I don't really see how making a dumb little joke is being shitty? Why are these kinda jokes bad now?

I've said a lot of stupid jokes before, I hope that doesn't make me a shitty person.

I make plenty of bad jokes. The jokes alone don't do it. It's the "LOL everyone's getting upset!" response.

That's where you stopped telling your joke to be funny and started just saying shit to troll people.

I just took it as he was getting upset over his fellow colleagues demeaning him as a person over an obvious joke

If you find the responses to his joke "demeaning," you really need higher standards for what's demeaning.

Can you explain the joke? I'm a humorless liberal. I just don't get why "Women are loud" is funny.

Stereotype is that women never stop talking/men have to block them out. Joke is women gone, finally quiet.

is that stereotype funny? Is it funny to perpetuate stereotypes? Is it not a good idea to challenge stereotyepes?

Yes, yes, and yes. Some of the most famous comics are the most racially, stereotype driven ones. They are funny.

1) This joke does not challenge stereotypes, it perpetuates them. 2) I don't think jokes that do that are good

1) It doesn't need to challenge them to be funny 2) Comedy is subjective, you not liking it doesn't make it wrong

1) I never said that. 2) I never said that. I said I didn't like it. I think jokes that don't challenge are bad

Okay, that's fine. I did like it. I think jokes that go for simple pot shots are funny. Let's shake and move on

it is a joke but you know with the audience you are aiming it at that you will receive some blow back...so why?

They always say ballsy jokes. Watch the morning show.

how is this ballsy? he gets exactly the response he wants to rip on people for. Seems pretty safe.

Maybe people could stop reacting that way then?

you can't dictate the actions of others, that's not your place.

So we should self censor because humans are too dumb to have reactionary self control?

no one is advocating censorship. Im disputing that this remark was "ballsy"

It's ballsy because he knows there's potential for backlash but doesn't care
