Really?
Because going "I actively choose to ignore Burr's transphobia because he makes me laugh" and talking down to a trans woman calling out your privileged position sure does suggest otherwise.

Me listening to rips of his old albums isn't supporting him in the slightest. I reccomended his aughts stuff to those interested as the thread topic dictated.With stand up the artist is the art, it is all coming from that person. It's not like a movie where there are a ton of people involved to make it happen, or a band with other musicians. There is no separation. And his art is the issue.
Does it bother you in the slightest that he is a bigot and you would supporting the work of a bigot?
Sure and many times it isn't. I can think Michael Jackson was a pedophile and still think he was the greatest performer ever and love his music.

Not to derail this too much, but Harry Potter is basically the big elehpant in the room that people don't want to talk about despite a big game and new movies still coming out. I think people just have to make their own choices... certainly there was a pass during Boba Fett too.
Also are you gonna respond to the first part of my post, or are you just gonna continue trying to force a " well technically" pivot despite it fully being what happened?
What does that have to do with his newest special that is the latest in a partnership with Netflix?
Even recommending the guy or saying you enjoy it though is presenting him in a positive light which is supporting him. I just don't get why anyone would support a transphobe if they cared at all about trans people. Your life can be just as complete without Bill Burr, there are so many different comedians out there, it just sucks. At the very least I wish it wasn't allowed on this site so we can have an inclusive and welcoming community to trans people.Me listening to rips of his old albums isn't supporting him in the slightest.

Is that's what's in the thread title? It isn't? Alright well great chat.Also are you gonna respond to the first part of my post, or are you just gonna continue trying to force a " well technically" pivot despite it fully being what happened?

Oh, guess I called it. Again, are you gonna address the "I actively choose to ignore Burr's transphobia because he makes me laugh" part? Cause that feeds directly into why your response to Kyuuji was talking down.

So i've been watching some Bill Burr on youtube this week and i really want to watch more. Looks like he has five on Netflix so which one would you recommend watching first?
I dig Burr's previous albums prior to netflix, been more hit and miss since then. I'll have to check out his new one, didn't know it was out.
I'm pretty sure they're actually talking about Mando and Bills role in an episode in each season. He's not in Boba that I can recall
Also nobody can stop any of you from playing the game if you really want to. People didn't do it with Cyberpunk either. Lots of people absolutely can & will think differently of you if you play it & especially parade it around like it's the second coming of Jesus while conveniently ignoring the glaring issues behind it, but nobody can take away your copy & tell you to "Stop playing this game, Timmy, it's 9PM!" like a mum lol. People will be fucking fine. The internet is vast so if someone feels like they're being treated unfairly on here come release, they can also simply talk about it elsewhere!
Mixed it up and meant to say Mandalorian.
when Nia does her "bill voice" impression, it kills me
It'd be like saying "I just don't look at the middle third of the mona lisa. But the rest is good!"Bill Burr's transphobia is in his art. It quite literally is not possible to separate the art from the artist because his art is transphobic.
In a thread where people are talking about and linking to transphobic pieces of his comedy, you decided to let people know how much you laugh at his comedy.
It's also quite egregious to have literal SOURCED bigotry from this guy at the forefront of every thread that pops up about him, yet people still have the audacity to wringe their hands like they, the non-trans people, are the ones being hurt by some BS "thought policing," or arguably worse, just FLAT OUT IGNORE these posts and just act like "ah, people get offended at anything! WhAt SyStEmIc OpPrEsSiOn???"
He's not actively calling for the oppression of trans people like Rowling or Chappelle, but this shit is still harmful, and worse, normalized by people who just shrug about it rather than demanding he do better.
I guess to make my position clear, I started turning on Burr because of his defence of racism in comedy, which was probably when he started going down his current path, so I'm by no means a Burr apologist.
But I guess this also sums up my view of it? So yes, tell people about Burr and why they should not support or watch him. But I don't know what comes after that.

Funnily enough, there's a youtube with a thumbnail with the name right on it on the first page. But I'm guessing you glossed over it because it was a post about his transphobia.
People that say they're an idiot usually aren't. Same with people who say they're smart usually aren't. Bill uses that as a get out of jail card for thingsI remember Burr being on Conan after the 2016 election, and saying that nothing was going to change. 'They're all the same!'
I think he gets a pass because he admits he's an idiot. Maybe shut the fuck up then.
Moreso taking the piss out of the fake-macho anti-woke comedian sphere
