He’s a transmisogynistic asshole. He’s probably also fatphobic. I know he’s ableist as well. All in all, a vile human being. We have already had a long discussion about proper satire and how it’s supposed to punch up, not down.
Y’ALL NEED TO EDUCATE YOURSELVES WITH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STEPHEN AND “STEPHEN” AND MAYBE YOU CHECK OUT SOME OF HIS KILLER VIDEOS SUPPORTING THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AND RECOGNIZE THAT HES A GENTLEMAN WITH A SWEET, SWEET HEART
Guys. We pissed another fandom off. – mod Guillermo
Another case of “people are capable of doing both good and bad things, and it’s okay to like them even if they are problematic, but you need to acknowledge that they are in fact problematic and not defend the bad stuff they do just because they also do good stuff”.
Fandom, it’s okay if you like Colbert. Hell, I like Colbert. His hate of Trump fuels my life. But, he has said some pretty awful things, and maybe he’s gotten better about it since then (not sure when his most recent offense was), but he still did it and it was still wrong. Do I think he actually meant to hurt minorities or oppressed groups? No; I think at his heart he probably isn’t “vile”. But he did hurt them, and I think he should apologize and do better.
Confront people and point out their bullshit, even if you like them. That’s just what people need to start doing in general.
