Controversies You Did Not See Coming

This could be a running thread...

I thought this was funny and it did not occur to me that anyone would be outraged.

The Backlash:

When they casted a little black girl to play Rue..in the The Hunger Games....even though if you were payin' attention when you read the book...the author was clearly statin' that that character was Black...

Them same bitches are hypocrites cause you know they get around their friends and dissect the shit out of the guys they know.

Slut 1-omg yknow Mike likes you jenna

Slut-ewww stop.. I just ate... He has to know I would never.. Blah blah blah.. Cut dude to shreds . End scene.

It's the dishonesty that pisses me off. And jumping on whatever new bullshit that seeks to empower them and cut the nuts off guys. Fuck bitches!

 

[Rembrandt Brown]

At first, I took the joke literally, like he was saying she just had an extremely long back.

It seems many took it that way:



Was he actually making a no-ass joke, counting the ass area as an extension of the back (as indicated by some replies in the OP)?

Either way I don't fault Fallon for laughing, but if it was meant in a more mean-spirited way, Desus & Mero have every right to make that joke but gotta deal with the, no pun intended, backlash.

How you flip it on them ca c bitches you ask how do you figure they were body shaming her? Maybe a long back means something diff than your interpretation... Maybe it was a compliment...maybe it's a nickname ... Maybe you guys have negative thoughts and want to push your evil views on her... We quickly said a term and knew what each other meant... Maybe Fallon was astonished by our skills of solving riddles and was so lost for words that he had to damn near walk off stage in disbelief that he was facing people of such talent

Well, I for one never saw the flat earth controversy coming. I mean, come on, we all know people who almost fell off the edge.

It wasn't shaming...it was an honest observation.

Everybody is so damn sensitive today.

Part of it, though, is that more people have a voice today. If a guest of Carson offended a lot of people, what recourse was there?

Sensitive faggots

Written letters to the affiliates was the rule of the day. Today's tactic is contacting the advertisers of a particular program.

Oh yeah...let's not forget the disclaimer often heard these days when an off-color joke is made or something that is bound to trigger..."Don't email ME, I didn't say it."

 

[jerrynuevo]

Fuck that long back short crack having ass bitch...

 

[TENT]

Oh my bad. Never watched those movies or read those books forgot all about Hunger Games ever existing.

You could tie that bitch legs together and put her flat on her stomach in the middle of the ocean and she could be a life raft for 3

Excuse me...can someone please tell me where the lie is?

Kanye did this

That's how people were handling Michelle Wolf talking about Sarah Huckabee. If you thought she was making fun of Sarah's weight and googly eyes, you already noticed those things well beforhand.
