    Gen X forgot how to bite their tongue

    EDIT: That came out wrong. Let me try again: Dave Chappelle, Adam Sandler and the like, really let the veil slip on their generational sexism and racism, and as their comedy stays the same, they arent aging well with the times.

      Gen X here. How would biting my tongue help? You don’t change anything by keeping silent, especially since we are sometimes called “the forgotten generation.”

          Gen-x here. Since we’ve been referred to as cringe so often we’re obviously experts in the field. Annnnd this shit right here ^^^ ? That’s some grade-A cringe.

          Bravo.

          Who did you study with?

            If the jokes of the mostly gen x comedians almost purely consist of “trans bad” and “I hate my bitch wife” they really should shut the fuck up.

              Why make up bullshit and assign it to a group of people who had no choice in which year they were born? What you are describing is not ‘gen X comedians’ it is ‘bad comedians.’

              Smarten the fuck up.

              Generalizations about people based on facets of themselves they can not control (age, sexuality, race, economic situation, etc…) are ALWAYS FUCKING WRONG.

              You are on blahaj, you would think this is engrained in you by now. But nope - for some reason it is ok for you to say “fuck gen X”, or “fuck all cis men”.

              CUT IT OUT - Be better. We are all equals on this fucking rock. ALL .
