I'm not going to watch every stand up special ever made just to keep up with the news. Either tell me what context allegedly changes things or don't and shut up.
Or just don't get into internet arguments about shit you don't know anything about.
I'm not even arguing. I'm stating that the fact that I don't have enough hours in the day to watch everything that comes out. When the Ghostbusters reboot came out I said "Wow, that looks like shit!" and moved on. Some people tried to tell me I can't trust a trailer, so I read the reviews and they confirmed what I suspected. Then people tried to tell me that I can't trust reviews either, so I said "Fuck you!" and moved on, because by that logic I'd have to see everything that catches the eye of the media and I have neither the time, money, nor energy to do that. I'm not going to put myself through something I don't think I'll enjoy just because someone on the internet told me to.
The fact that nobody in this thread is able to provide additional context tells me there isn't any. This should be easy. Just do it.
See you'll note I'm not arguing here because I don't know shit about this special. I've been partying, because it's new years, so I haven't seen it.
Imagine if you just didn't get all pissed off about a thing you don't understand completely.
