Apparently Akaash Singh (actor, comedian) has quite a bit a time on his hands as saw fit to quote me and tweet this



Or maybe not enough time as he couldn't be bothered to lookup a simple word in the dictionary, let alone learn about other types of arranged marriage besides the one that resides in the bubble of reality that he's living in.


Twitter was a mistake.

UPDATE:



That was actually kinda funny, heh

Were you arguing in favor of arranged marriage?

Edit: After reading the whole thread at least you corrected him I guess. People with that kind of following where they'll kiss his ass no matter what he says makes it even more unlikely that he'd accept that he was wrong about the word and move on.

At least there was that one person who had your back.

He is right you know, your tweet was passive-aggressive pseudo intellectual bullshit and preachy about the issue to a Indian person.

You did an equivalent of "mansplaining" (gate this word, but it fits the best) but in the context of arranged marriage issue to an actual Indian person.

Well you made a statement and did the @ so you got what you wanted a reply from the person. Might not be the one who want, but hey, a reply.

I mean, I disagree with that take on "problematic", but you bursting in to ruin a joke isn't the best thing either.

You were kinda asking for that type of reply.


But I'm confused about the other moron replying to you about Wikipedia

What's with people on this site getting upset when they tweet at someone and they reply, lol.

LOL what were you thinking?

"Acktually...."

This behavior is insufferable. Twitter isn't resetera where the majority of the users are performatively progressive. Butting into strangers' (?) jokes with hard hitting reality is pretty lame. There's a time and a place.

The original Tweet is goofy, "actually"ing a joke is goofy, that comedian not knowing that problematic is an actual word is goofy, saying he has too much time almost like he isn't allowed to reply to things on the internet because he's a Z-lister is goofy.

Thousands of people are physically attacked every day OP. Your use of the word to describe a response on Twitter is offensive. Physical violence is serious.

I mean you were pretty annoying to come in and try and be all serious with someone that is just posting a joke.

I wish the word problematic would go away, I really do. It has just become a blanket "I don't like this" and as per the tweet above I have no idea after reading it why certain arranged marriages and good and why some are bad.

FWIW I've worked with a lot of Indians and they seemed fine with the concept. Not something I really understand but who am I to tell them otherwise?

posting a logical reason like that on twitter is pointless unless you are the one with the tons of followers who will back you up. the only right way to interact with ecelebs on twitter is to give them a sick burn that even their fans will feel.

Just like the tweet, this thread didn't go as you thought it would, right OP ?

You kinda earned that dunking. Also, I can't be the only one who found the joke itself rather funny reminds me of the kind of deadpan I'd hear out of some of my own relatives.

Whoever that person is, they responded to you with an ignorant mean girl tweet. Either do the Twitter equivalent of pointing and laughing at them or ignore them.

I've got a killer joke for you, OP. But bear in mind, I don't need a lecture on how horses going into bars is dangerous for the other customers.
