I guess I just wanted the perspective in the thread of someone who feels hurt by this stuff and has a hard time letting it run off my back. I get that you feeling differently is partly or entirely because of a lot of hard shit that I haven't been through and I respect that. I've been out just over two years now and I do find some of the new trans energy waning, in a good way sometimes, like I just wanna live and am occasionally not interested in thinking about this stuff 24/7 anymore.

pashmina wrote:honestly i don't think i can evaluate Nanette outside of the breathless internet takes about it
it might be better than i thought it was. it probably is better. but when it came out the breathless thinkpieces about it redefining comedy and social commentary and then i watched it and it just kind of was there and I didn't laugh and
like as i'm typing this i think it oddly applies to stuff like the closer
i kind of hate Luddites and all but the internet kind of ruins stuff to where it's either perfect or a disaster and in stand-up comedy a single line can seem to push a routine in either direction
does that make sense? i'm not well thought out, like i'm posting on a board which is steps below even a fucking medium essay and i'm not totally sure i have a genuine point but i kind of feel like nothing can be "just ok" anymore, it can only be insanely offensive and make everyone angry or it can be "wow this is so progressive and advancing the art form!" and like just int his medium i would really like stuff to just be funny
i think hedberg was the most pure stand up because it was just nonstop jokes that you'd have to be an asshole to get politics out of it
rip mitch
