#FireColbert, Triggered Conservatives upset again!

[Manabomb]

He can make another thread for his faux outrage bullshit. You're just helping him drive the thread off topic by that point, doing exactly what he wants.

Oh? There was actual conversation to be had? I assumed this was pretty much a shit-posting thread as is.

Besides, this entire thread is built on the premise of some rando conservatives internet faux outrage. It'd be silly not to include it.

[Slicer299]

Funny how pointing out that Michelle looks like a man gets you fired, but making obscene and homophobic remarks doesn't.

Exactly, no one could ever say anything to or about Obama, or anyone close to or related to Obama, without being called a racist bigot and losing their job. And it wasn't limited to criticizing Obama either, if you dared to oppose any part of the liberal agenda, liberals demanded you lose your job. They got there way a lot of the time too.

Like the one executive, I forget the company he worked for, who made 100% legal, and 100% private donations to a political group supporting Prop 8 in California. Prop 8 was a ballot measure in California to outlaw gay marriage, a ballot measure that PASSED with a majority of the vote in super liberal California. Liberals found out some big shot executive made a donation in support of Prop 8, in direct violation of his privacy rights and California law, and got him fired because of it.

So yeah, what Colbert did was vile and disgusting, and people have every right to demand he be fired. Because had any late night host said those exact same things about Obama, they'd be out of a job before the episode finished airing. If the network would allow it air at all. It's exactly that sort of double standard that got Trump elected in the first place. And no one, absolutely no one, on the left gets ever accuse anyone else of being "triggered". The entire use of the term in current society comes exclusively from liberals being triggered over anything and everything. There is a big difference between non liberals having legitimate complaints and liberals getting triggered over complete nonsense. Like someone saying things "you guys" and liberals threatening to kill people for assuming their gender. That's being triggered.

Care to give legitimate, sourced, referenced examples of "the shit the left is doing" or are you going to continue posturing your morally high hypocrisy without actually giving any legitimate evidence to back up your half-cocked, semi-flaccid floundering, similar to your cheetoh overlord

I was referencing the Berkeley riots.

[mvaliz]

cockholster is an obscure anti-gay slur. It's not in common use anymore.

Suddenly the anti-PC crowd cares about PC.

Is it? I would have though I would have heard it, being gay and all. Only search results I can find about it is Urban Dictionary declaring it derogatory and then a bunch of butthurt articles about this comment from Colbert.

I believe the use of the term, in this context, is not meant to be "anti-gay" but actually meant to be "He's somebody elses bitch whom he humiliates himself to service". In this case, Colbert is making fun of how Donnie Dump is Putin's little bitch.

It's more a satyre-based male dominance joke than anything anti-gay. :P

[yetgdhfgh]

When Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert first started we didnt have this silly 'oh iam offended by everything crap' and thats why they was able to poke fun at everything. We all know Colbert was a take on Bill O'reilly and Rush Limbaugh and he was successful cause of how ridiculous the right was at the time but now we have the exact opposite cause we now have the left who have gone to such a extreme the right now poke fun at us the way we on the left used to poke fun at how extreme the right was. The modern left has become such a toxic caricature just like the right was back in the 80s and during the bush years that it needs to be brought straight back to the middle.

[WskyDK]

I'm for that as long as we get rid of all of Fox.

I like how the strategy is saying that Trump is Putin's bitch is somehow denigrating to gays. That's a bold strategy cotton, let's see how it doesn't pay off.

Saying that Trump is Putin's bitch by attributing a gay act to him is denegrating.

The exact same criticism applies to the far right now as it does the left.

[Blur4stuff]

It wasn't a good joke. Colbert is capable of better. Something that belongs in a YT comment.

I don't see how it's homophobic, though. Just because Trump and Putin are both male? In this context, shoving your dick in another person is about control and power, not sexual preference. The act itself isn't just for gay men anyways.

[Breccia]

I'm convinced it'll never get through

Pence.

and if it does, will be struck down immediately.

Whether or not it's successful is not relevant to what it says about him and his admin when he signs it Thursday. Likely behind closed doors and without cameras. The ACLU sure seems to think it's going to happen.

[I Push Buttons]

How was it homophobic?

Probably the using a gay act as an insult.

Writing up a 3 paragraph response to an entertainment show expressing their right to free speech as Fauxoutrage News has since 1996 is kind of adorable.

Must suck having such a thin skinned president, huh? Atleast Obama took the insults and criticism from those clowns with some grace.

[Zoibert the Bear]

If you frankly take any of it so seriously that you took offense to it, that is your problem.

Of course, just like the people that try to get a man fired for saying bad things about "wiminz". The hypocrisy is when you think it's a double standard while also posturing yourself as the moral high-ground in the process.

That's some dipshit mental gymnastics. Typical of anyone from the right. I'll forgive you just this once. Tell em Krazy. They only get one.

First off, I don't take offense, I do not consider I'm on a moral high-ground nor approve of right-or-left-initiated bullshit such as this. Both sides are wrong, but each side likes to emphasize only those comments that go against "them". I find that disgusting.

I actually find the comment fucking funny and would be absolutely fine with it if the emphasis on PC nowadays where not what it is.

I've voted for a socialist party for the last 20 years by the way, don't label me right away because my opinion differs from yours. I do appreciate that you forgive me however; I will go back to my bear cave now and continue hibernation, may wake up in a year or so to find out that the world has become a radio-active wasteland.

[Deleted]

Wait, now the Right are suddenly very upset about something that can be taken as homophobic slur?

What?

[WskyDK]

No, it's not.

To insinuate that someone is lessened because they put another man's penis in their mouth is insulting to gay men.

[Kapadons]

It's clearly said in a derogatory fashion. As in "it's bad to have Putins cock in your mouth" which can easily be conferred as "its bad to have any cock in your mouth" which is pretty directly anti-gay. The fact a gay liberal OP doesn't take even the slightest offense shows his own hypocrisy he is so eager to point out.

While I personally can't stand Colbert since he left DS/CR, and don't watch his show anyway , and his "joke" is in poor taste, calling for him to be fired over it is ridiculous. Just stop watching. Enough people do that and he won't have a job anymore anyway.

[Astalnar]

So what's the news here? Conservatives copying successful methods of generating traction they learnt from the Left? If you can't beat them, learn from them.

Wait, now the Right are suddenly very upset about something that can be taken as homophobic slur?

What?

Now now, you can't cry wolf all the time, and then say to someone else not to cry wolf in vain. Let's be consistent.

I'm for that as long as we get rid of all of Fox.

Fox seems to be in a middle of ritual seppuku these days, no worries on that front.

[KrazyK923]

Pence.

Oh I have no doubt they'll try to do something. I am certain it will be stopped immediately by a lawsuit and then get thrown out entirely.

If not, the outrage and uprising across the country will be worse than anything we've seen so far, and I know several conservatives personally who would join in the protests, especially young ones, all of whom don't care about the gay issue. Its a move for nothing but those old bigoted 60+ year olds. It blew up in Pence's face (OH DANG THAT'S HOMOPHOBIC NOW TOO!) in Indiana and will again here. This time Trump will be caught in the bukakke.

Or...just, maybe, this has nothing to do with homophobia and is just a smokescreen to mask a triggered knee-jerk tantrum trying to get someone fired. I enjoy the hypocrisy, but not from the way you think is happening here, but from the right with their indignation over dumb shit like #CancelColbert, but are ok with this.

[Deleted]

The exact same criticism applies to the far right now as it does the left.

that's true.
The Far right is just as bad as the left.
You get why that's not a good thing right?

No, it's not.

Yes it is, the joke's very premise is that, Trump is a lesser man, because he sucks cock.
It's explicitly fucking homophobic.

But it helped a nut case in a ill fitting wig win the presidency!
