We can say "I'm upset that John Mulaney turned out to be transphobic because I thought he was pretty funny" without forgetting that his comedy has always included very ableist and antisemitic jokes, yeah?

#tag rant uh oh #his first special genuinely makes me uncomfortable I don't even have dwarfism and I cringed at his like #intentional stubbornness on why it's ok to say slurs because they're not as bad as other unrelated slurs #and I AM Jewish and I was made uncomfortable by his ''I can make jokes about Jews because my wife is one'' attitude as a goy #saw a post that was like ''don't pretend you always knew he was shitty we all loved him'' and like. #speak for yourself if you're not a Jew or a little person right? I watched his specials I laughed at his jokes and I did it very critically #because parts of it made me uncomfortable because I am capable of thinking critically about what is antisemitic or not unlike goyim I guess #it's not faux-progressive Tumblr-style-activism to say ''yeah I'm Jewish and I knew he was antisemitic from his antisemitic jokes I didn't #need to wait until he was divorced to criticize that'' #this eventuality has brought out some really particular issues with this site where white goyische able-bodied queer ppl like #only care about ''canceling'' a person once they prove themself to be a transphobe cause that's all they're capable of #seeing or thinking critically about. it's really the same thing with jk rowling tbh. yes her transphobia is the most damaging part of it #because she is spending money on it but nobody cared and ''everybody loved h*rry p*tter'' until that whole thing came out #even though Jewish people and POC have always known those books were racist and antisemitic because we're the only ones who are apparently #capable of analyzing text for racism and antisemitism #oy vey
