Wahhhh! I'm unable to evolve my craft with the times, darn millennials!!! No, but seriously, I'm tired of these damn millionaires incessantly complaining because they can't do the same old ethnic/gender/sexual orientation jokes without people hitting back. Guess it's no fun when the people whose necks your stepping on don't just take it with grace. disclaimer this movie contains material that some may find offensive viewer discretion is advised. |

It just irritates me so much when artists make controversial movies then react with victimhood. Tarantino does this constantly, and now Todd Phillips is doing it. I'm all for dangerous movies that start a conversation, but if you're the artist, and feel the need to respond, then defend your movie or frame the conversation you wanted your movie to start, don't whine about it. Besides, he just made his first movie that has garnered any serious praise, he won the Golden Lion (or whatever) and directed a performance that could win an Academy Award, directing frat humor comedies should be the last thing on his mind.

Marc Maron's has a spot-on response. (Of you don't know, he's a comedian, podcaster and actor who actually has a small part in Joker): “There’s plenty of people being funny right now. Not only being funny but being really fucking funny. There are still lines to be rode. If you like to ride a line, you can still ride a line. If you want to take chances, you can still take chances. Really, the only thing that’s off the table, culturally, at this juncture –and not even entirely– is shamelessly punching down for the sheer joy of hurting people. For the sheer excitement and laughter that some people get from causing people pain, from making people uncomfortable, from making people feel excluded. Y’know, that excitement.” Source: collider.com/marc-maron-responds-to-joker-direct-todd-phillips-woke-culture/ |

And who EXACTLY has been doing that? Which specific actors, comedians etc? Who exactly goes out there not with comedy in general in mind but with the specific mission to "punch down people for the joy of it?"
If he has even the slightest of balls, he will name names. Because it's easy to demonize "general" people and call them evil when what you really mean is you are personally offended at something. But it's a whole different thing if you actually stand by your accusations and provide a list of people who you genuinely think are evil. Because, you know, then they can actually defend themselves and provide their point of view.
