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.

What Bill Burr Netflix special to watch?

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.
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?

How is that talking down to?
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.
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.
Wouldn't be weird if I went into that James Franco thread about his new project and go "Me watching blu-rays I bought years ago isn''t supporting him."
EDIT:
Oh wait lol

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.
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
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.
Mixed it up and meant to say Mandalorian.
It'd be like saying "I just don't look at the middle third of the mona lisa. But the rest is good!"
He's a gross angry shit, so I would lean toward not watching him or boosting him at all, but hey freedom of speech I guess?
It's literally so fucking crazy to me, people truly don't know how to act. In some way the people who do not even recognize his transphobia and are just like "yeah, love his stuff hehe :)" are somehow worse, because it's like.. you truly do not even care the slightest bit. At least with others we seemingly annoy them enough to act like trans people are the true oppressors lol
Oh, no worries, my "you" was rather meant in a general sense and not directed at you - who seemed to just really not know about how it's being handled? It's just a wee bit of an annoyance when there absolutely have been people on here acting like Era mods are taking their rights from them for not allowing them to circlejerk lmao
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 things
This. Nia rips on him which is hilarious.
His early specials are the best, particularly when he just rants about everyday life or his ending bits as his red tie/blue tie etc kinda shtick feel stuck in the past (which is odd since he clearly knows the history of comedy from listening to his podcast so the fact he falls into lazy bits sucks more). His newer stuff has great moments but some old man yelling at clouds vibes and weird pacing.
His best is just YouTube compilations of him on Conan and cracking Conan up.

I'm gonna assume Tim is taking the piss out on his audience?
Moreso taking the piss out of the fake-macho anti-woke comedian sphere
