Let me preface this by saying I’m not a fan at all of Bill Burr, but he recently went on Bill Maher’s show, and said he was with the students. He’s also said some inflammatory things in the past, so I’m not sure. Are we cool with Bill Burr, now?

Who’s “we”, and why do you feel the need to ask them if they like a particular comedian?

Second part of the question; is having your opinion validated by the group that important to you?

I think it would be better to ask where he stands on things, confirm the information from multiple sources, and make your own opinion.

I reject that kind of black and white thinking. We don’t have to classify people as either “cool” or “uncool”, or “good” and “bad”. We can criticize one thing someone does, while also praising something else that they do.

This is absolutely correct, let’s not forget how amazing the turnaround was in road network and car industry after Hitler came to power in 1933!

We? Think for yourself.

You either like him or dont like him. Don’t let a bunch of faceless online accounts do gatekeeping on your life.

This kind of “checking that I’m still orthodox” post makes my skin crawl. Who is “we”?
