The very first time I saw Brady on tv (circa 2000) I was watching whatever it was with my mom and we both presumed he was gay then and there. It was a little interesting just because there were so few evidently gay people on tv at the time in such prominent roles.
But yeah…
“Bisexual — with an open mind!”
seems about right too.
I think (hope) that hundreds of years from now, most of the human species will achieve this higher form of love and acceptance. It’s so silly to not freely love whom you love.
They seem like a lovely family :)
Also… looks like Redditors are starting to flood it here with their uber-insightful commentary.
Good for him. That said, he is the most low-energy game show host I have ever seen. When my daughter was first born, we didn’t have much to do, so we would watch daytime TV and his hosting on Let’s Make a Deal is just terrible (if he’s still doing it). It sounded like he was bored and didn’t want to be there every episode.
Sorry, I had to rant about Wayne Brady for a second.
I wonder if it’s just bad direction? Wayne Brady is one of the funniest people I’ve seen on TV - but I haven’t seen him hosting anything. So it can’t be him. It has to be someone directing him.
Agreed. He can sing jokes on the spot and dance anyone into a corner if left to his own devices. Bad acting isn’t coming from him. It would have to be stamped out by someone else
I saw one episode, but now that you mention it, yeah that’s the vibe I got as well. It felt like he was trying to emulate Howie, but it might have just been really boring.
Interesting take. Sorry that I can’t read all comments all the time, I do have a life you know. I like to think I will eventually read all comments, but if people would report comments, that would really help.
Yet you are still here arguing with me instead of doing your damn job you signed up for when you became a mod
You can ignore me and scroll down to find the stupid anti -bi shit any time you want. Or keep getting defensive and arguing with me to make yourself feel better. Your choice.
Could you give some examples, or are you just here to be angry? We try to walk the thread between deleting hatespeech and not censoring opinions. Sometimes we get it wrong, so do let us know if you think you know better.
Yet you’re here bootlicking lazy and ineffective mods on a server that allows alt-right bullshit as if it is, so I guess it must be
Go ask the mods if they’ll pay your rent this month for defending hate on their shitty platform. I’m sure your landlord will take their IOU scribbled in crayon
Moderation is always going to be a tricky game. People assume that any comments that aren’t deleted are therefore validated by mods, even when they can cover extremes that are very far apart. With a topic like this, the extreme ends are probably going to be people at one end who think anyone who doesn’t confirm to a ‘traditional’ sexuality is some kind of abomination, and at the other end folk who think the people saying the ‘abomination’ shit shouldn’t be allowed to participate. It’s gonna be very hard to moderate that without pissing at least some people off. Like I say, a tricky game - but just because some people are unhappy doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
Me, I’d say that unfortunately there are some extreme opinions out in the world and even when I don’t share them I don’t want to pretend they don’t exist. I’d rather have the opportunity to discuss them, dispute them, maybe try to change them. But open hate speech, threats, personal abuse, or advocacy of violence should be a definite no. Just IMO.
You need to relax. You are talking a lot about the proper way to moderate while actively breaking the rules in a community by being so hostile. Appreciate the irony of that for a second.
And for the record and my defense, before you accuse me of trying to defend the alt right or something, there are some shitty comments in this thread I wish would get removed. The jokes about sexual attraction to cookware are overdone, toxic, and annoying, and that is just the mild side of what was in this thread. The mods removing the outright hostility is a start, but letting gender and sexual minorities be the butt of the joke over and over is not a great way for a space to be
@Thekingoflorda if you are reading this consider removing those jokes.
If it was one I would agree with you. Several people saying it in several places in the thread though, reminds me of that “I identify as an attack helicopter”, which is more transphobic because of its being spammed by people with agendas than because of the explicit content. This seems like a similar, if less popular, kindof homophobic “meme”.
And yet they’re not doing anything about me, so what does that tell you about the quality of modding here, and by extension the quality of the instance?
.world is a shithole for this reason among many others, and it dominates every other instance because the admin of it is sympathetic to alt-right dipshits and the cultists are taking advantage of it. The mod of this sub themself probably doesn’t actually give a shit about the dumb hate shit other people are posting in the comments.
That I see are still here, and so does everyone else.
But go ahead and keep trying to save face by arguing with me instead of complaining to the mods about the hate crap like you ought to be doing. Or even better, if it’s that trivial to you, why don’t you mind your own business and go away? It’s not your job so why should you care, right?
I do, on my subs here on lemm.ee, which I joined specifically to get away from you stupid-ass bigoted clowns at .world, and you remind me of why I did.
My subs are quite splendid, by the way. Because I don’t allow bigots and actually enforce it. 😎 Have fun drowning in your own hate and incompetence. I’m sure the alt-right dipshits who took over your server will give you a tissue while you whine and cry to me.
Lol nah, I left that shitty instance of yours for a reason. Only reason I’m even here is because you are flooding every other and Lemmy doesn’t allow individuals to block instances yet
