17 year old film critic slut shames Amy Schumer and faces backlash

[Shinra1]

Kid critic" Jackson Murphy, who runs the website Lights-Camera-Jackson and has offered up his cinematic musings on TV, mugged for a photo with the comedian at Sunday night's Critics' Choice awards red carpet. Riding high on his superstar moment, Jackson posted the photo Monday on Twitter, replete with a rather bold dig.





He faced backlash on twitter, tumblr and his own personal blog and was forced to apologise below





Amy weighs in and 'forgives' him




----

I don't see why she became offended. So he makes a joke that capitalizes of her own self deprecating style of humor where she acts promiscuous and he has to apologize. But she can make a million rape jokes including some that had specific targets and its just jokes. There's no comedian degree, you don't have to have credentials to make a joke. Sh even recently made a joke about the kidnapped girls by boko haram.

I laughed.

An idiot made a joke that wasn't funny that was aimed at a celebrity. How is this a news story?

Kid should watch out for that rapist standing next to him.

"Slut shames"

Amy Schumer makes those exact jokes about her self and worse on a nearly constant basis. She made her entire career off of the joke that she's a slut. Schumer has been slowly falling off the deepend for a while now.

Suddenly somebody jokingly says she's what she's been jokingly calling herself for years, and now he's slut shaming her and is being offensive. This from the woman who is on record talking about how comedy shouldn't be PC.

The thread should be, "Amy Schumer hypocritically decries joke about her promiscuity."

I'm confused too.

I imagine if anything, its a similar situation as the N word.

What? lol.

No, no it's not.

almost needless to say, this is what happens when people don't know how to take a joke

sometimes i wonder if people ever even stop to think about how complicated the english language is and how phrases or words can have multiple meanings. we speak the most difficult language to learn. spending the night can mean fucking someone or just entertaining their company. or, you know, just staying the night.

i can't stand stories from social media like this

it's like watching a line of people walk off a fucking cliff because you told them there's an invisible bridge there even though they just saw someone else fall to their death. people on social media are so disgustingly combative and pessimistic for no apparent reason.

He made a joke in her style. Being a slut is her humor.
That's called trying to relate to someone.
I can't stand him -or her- anyway. But the outrage culture that twatter fosters is pathetic.

[Zantos]

What? lol.

No, no it's not.

I mean she is fine doing it to herself all the time, yet gets upset if anyone else does it to her.

[Shinra1]

There is absolutely no parallel between black people using the n word but being offended when whites call them the n word and Amy schumer calling herself a slut but being offended when she is slut shamed by randoms.


There is a historical, painful, reason for why the n word is off limits for white people and it has nothing to do with black people being hypocritical.

And that's where the comparison ends, since "slut" and "nigger" have entirely different social and historical connotations. But I'm not getting into that nonsensical argument any further than that.

[nextormento]

What? lol.

No, no it's not.

In the sense of only they get to use certain expressions.
The kid is a member of the white supremacist patriarchy, so he can't use slut jokes.

Yeah, we end slavery and then get constant shit for it, the least they could do was let us use a word.

You messed up there's no amount of backtracking that will change what you said. Just apologise, educate yourself and learn from your own PRIVILEGED ignorance.

whenever someone gives me shit about slavery i ask them if they'd really like to live in Africa today

they always shut up after that

To me, its just a word. Same situation in my eyes. There are plenty of reasons why someone would find it painful to be called something. Just don't be surprised when you call yourself that all the time and then someone else thinks its ok to do it as well.

[Shinra1]

Clearly people can see the difference between her doing a comedy routine and a random film critic, who is 17 calling her a slut?

If anything he was elevating her sexual status as more desirable than this woman actually is. No offence but Amy is not conventionally beautiful and it has nothing to do with her body being shaped like a refrigerator.


She is a comedian she should be the last person to be offended at such a tame joke that hearkens back to her own comedy schtick

[Zantos]

Not apologizing for anything. Its the same thing. The only one ignorant is you for thinking im somehow "privileged" because of the race you think I am. Why don't you educate yourself in how to be tolerant and accepting of different points of view.

[KrazyK923]

Once again we have Twitter and Tumblr going off on somebody who is very obviously both making a joke and paying an homage to her own kind of CONSTANT self-deprecating humor.

Just goes to show you that the PC police have literally no sense of humor at all.
