no mention of what the jokes were at all
They mentioned they were anti-trans and anti-vax. They didn’t repeat them because there is no need to repeat offensive jokes. I’m sure there are Rob Schneider routines on YouTube if you’re curious.
Again, I am sure there are Rob Schnieder routines on YouTube if you’re curious and I doubt he made trans and vaccine jokes just this one time. Why do you need to know the specific jokes he made? Why isn’t the fact that the audience booed the organization gave a sincere apology enough evidence for you that his jokes offended a bunch of people and were not appropriate for the venue?
Please, give an example of an unbiased news org. They don’t exist. This one just wears its bias on its sleeve.
Edit: putting this here so people will stop going off.
I was trying to respond to this nutcase’s response. I’m saying that bias is fine. But at least this one says what it’s for.
.lgbtqnation just the best news site nobody could ever think they could be biased in any way.
But I guess Lemmy fucked it. So sure, down vote.
And what do you think the truth here is? Do you think that the Regina Leader-Post, the local newspaper they got the information from also wears its bias on its sleeve? How about the foundation whose public apology they printed? Is that fake news?

AP news, agrigated articles are difficult to all fudge in the same direction. Is there bias in seperate articles? To some degree it’s going to happen, does every single article have heavy bias in exactly one direction? Nope.
BBC, Reuters, NPR, and a few other services generally avoid heavy bias by using similar methods of agrigated content from multiple contributers that aren’t all working in a single location, for one entity, with the same editor, working for the same owners. There’s much less bias found across their platforms, and what’s there in terms of bias isn’t all to one particular US political party.
I don’t know what you are arguing. You can have a bias towards reality. Some have a bias towards centrism, even when one side has lost its mind. My original comment was to an idiot claiming that lgbtq wasn’t news because it has a bias.
My point was that everything has a bias in some way, even a bias towards truth or whatever. It’s still a bias. Lgbtq nation simply tells you what the bias is explicitly. Which is good. I’d rather they be upfront so I can find news not filled with right wing anti gay screed.
dude isn’t even funny in the first place. he can’t do a Dave Chappell. Pander to the bigoted masses with a modicum of talent. Now if Dave Chappell wasn’t a pos he could easily be the funniest man in comedy instead of a fringe washup but here we are. Used to love them both for their niech humor but lets be honest Rob was only ever funny cause he was proped up by mid Adam Sandler scripts.
Why is Dave chappell is a POS? Did he do something awful recently?
I haven’t watch anything from him since forever because I don’t find his jokes funny, it’s mostly him complaining or trash talk other people.
His shows are pretty much him making fun of trans people and whining bc people call him on his shit for doing nothing but making fun of trans people.
Here’s some excepts from The Closer in 2022. I watched this begrudgingly to prove to a buddy of mine that he was, in fact, being transphobic (said buddy is no longer buddy), and I haven’t watched anything of his shit since but it’s probably just him whining even more now:
-
Every time I come out onstage, I be scared. I be lookin’ around the crowd, searching. For knuckles and Adam’s apples to see where the threats might be coming from.
-
And then she hikes her skirt up and she pulls a real live, meaty dick out!
-
If I was honest, I wouldn’t have fallen for it. I’d have just looked at the picture like, “Look at that big chiseled jawline, that big thick Joe Rogan neck. Is that a dude? Is your daughter a man?” Can’t say that shit. It’s really annoying.
-
trans-bitch from the picture.
-
A couple of more drinks and these fellows are gonna start asking her for some pussy, she might not have.
-
I was careful to call her a bitch, ’cause I didn’t want to blow her cover.
-
“Well.” I am a girl now, n*gger. You must treat me as such.
-
Gender is a fact.
-
Now… I am not saying that to say, that trans women aren’t women. I’m just sayin, that those pussies that they got… You know what I mean?
-
I’m not saying it is not pussy, but that’s like Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. You know what I mean? It tastes like pussy but that’s not quite what it is, is it? It’s not blood, that is beet juice.
Idk, kinda unfair to just post excerpts, his sets are stories with a point.
He insults transgenders in routines and bitches about people calling him out for it. He also throws out stupid stereotypes about various other groups but they aren’t generally direct insults like with trans people. He tops it off with complaining about cancel culture cause apparently he can insult and call other groups out for just living their life, but if somebody calls him out on that crap it’s bad.
I went to see Rob Schneider perform comedy round 2015. Tickets were free for a Saturday night. It was at 80% capacity, which is unusual since it’s always sold out.
He was pretty rough and attempted to be edgy. He already had gay jokes and there was polite laughter, but nothing compared to the professional comedians who opened for him.
Honestly I thought he’d quit after a few years.
Honestly I think it’s just because people are mean and want someone to bully and trans people aren’t quite as protected by society as other marginalized groups yet so they’re the easiest target. Plus probably from some people it’s fear that if other people are allowed to be who they are then they themselves might realize they aren’t the perfect little cis straight christian they want to be seen as.
My first thought in situations like this is that maybe he secretly wishes he were a she. It’s true just often enough that I think it’s worth considering as an option.
And honestly, I don’t care if it’s true or not. If, whenever a public figure publicly tries to humiliate or demonize some minority group, public discourse immediately starts talking about whether said public figure secretly is, or wants to be, a member of said minority group, then it serves as a deterrent for others wanting to humiliate or demonize minority groups.
A) You’re in the closet and don’t want people to know? Then don’t ridicule people who came out of the closet.
B) Oh, you’re not in the closet and don’t want people to think you are? What a coincidence. Also, don’t ridicule people who came out of the closet.
While what you’re saying comes from the right place, it can also be dangerous. That attitude/idea can lead to blaming the marginalized group for their own victimhood.
I do think it’s more common for gay than trans, and sometimes has a grain of truth. But much of the time people are just assholes looking for someone to bully and hate.
Seriously. Like, okay, you think that the whole transgender thing is a fad, or “attention-seeking,” or any other nonsense. Everybody is entitled to opinions, even stupid ones. I guarantee I have some stupid opinions, myself, about things that have no relevance to me.
But feeling the need to express those opinions, and feeling so strongly about it, and wanting to make legislation for it, and pretending you give two shits about girls’ and womens’ sports when 5 years ago you were talking shit about the WNBA because they were a joke to you, when you will knowingly interact with a trans person once or twice in a year, maybe, in your little podunk town, and since you are talking to them you won’t have an opportunity to use a pronoun for them… well there’s obviously something else at work here.
It makes it clear it’s just an excuse to hate, because trans people don’t affect them in the slightest.
It’s funny. Every time I see someone going on a rant about trans women in women’s sports, I ask them when they started watching women’s sports. I don’t get a response, but I do get a bunch of downvotes. Even on Lemmy.
The people complaining about trans in women’s sports don’t watch women’s sports for the sports.
I can understand if older people are confused by trans issues. That seems fair. I mean, just a few decades ago, people hardly even mentioned them unless they were making a joke.
When it comes to hate, though, I’m with you. At the end of the day, these are still PEOPLE we’re talking about. If they’re doing something you don’t approve of, then just don’t do it yourself. It doesn’t get any easier than that. No hatred required.
It’s a wedge issue. That’s all that matters to them.
First, they don’t give a fuck about those people.
Second, intentional vagueness that can be weaponized. Be as heinous as humanly possible to keep the base talking about it.
Third, exaggerate issues that moderates care about like bathrooms, sports, and regretted transitions.
Fourth, ideally for them, the left will talk about all the heinous shit and not address the actual discussions.
and not address the actual discussions.
Sorry, you lost me. What actual discussions are being ignored?

Oh wow, this is the guy who told me I was using the internet wrong because no one has called me a bigot.
oh you can remember something. but as i told you before you only seem to remember what benefits you. i told you that if nobody has cold you names on the internet you are using it wrong just look at the comment you are replying too. you also seem to miss that this implies that you mostly seem to talk to people who already agree with you with your long history on the internet. that was a very funny reply. as if calling someone asshole on the internet is somehow argument.
