Do we like Bill Burr now? (lemmy.ml)

Let me preface this by saying I'm not a fan at all of Bill Burr, but he recently went on Bill Maher's show, and said he was with the students. He's also said some inflammatory things in the past, so I'm not sure. Are we cool with Bill Burr, now?

OP why are you trying to outsource your opinion?

I'm not?

Who is we?

I don't know him as a person, but I think he's pretty funny as a stand up and not a bad actor.

Like the general "we"?

I reject that kind of black and white thinking. We don't have to classify people as either "cool" or "uncool", or "good" and "bad". We can criticize one thing someone does, while also praising something else that they do.

This is absolutely correct, let’s not forget how amazing the turnaround was in road network and car industry after Hitler came to power in 1933!

What controversies?

[–] sinewyshadow@lemmy.ml -1 points 6 months ago

He's made a "joke" about motherhood not being a hard job. I've known single mothers and it's a pretty damn hard job.

This kind of "checking that I'm still orthodox" post makes my skin crawl. Who is "we"?
