SNL's homophobic Trump-Putin jokes need to stop


https://www.thedailybeast.com/snls-homophobic-trump-putin-jokes-need-to-stop

"What is the joke here?" Kevin Fallon says of Saturday Night Live frequently portraying President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as lovers. "Is it the insinuation that all villains are gay? (Which is irresponsible and offensive.) Is it that assigning the Trump-Putin dealings sexual innuendo somehow makes the maniacal seem more palatable through the implied lunacy of a gay relationship? (Which is irresponsible and offensive) Is it the idea that outing a powerful political leader is the greatest way to bring him shame? (Which is irresponsible and offensive.) Is it that suggesting that Trump is somehow demeaning himself by submitting to gay sexual acts is the most effective way to mock how beholden he is to Putin’s control? (Which is irresponsible and offensive.) Or is it that there is nothing worse we can think of to say about a “masculine” straight man than that he fucks other dudes? (Which is… yep, irresponsible and offensive.)"

SNL is taking a jab at Putin's publicly known anti-gay rhetoric and his ironically tough stance against them since he begs the media to see him as a tough guy by showing his upper torso while doing manly, manly things.

What's his opinion on Black Jeopardy?

reply

On top of what twinA offered, Trump is SO concerned about how his own sexuality is perceived that it's an obvious target. He's a misogynist creepo, and his fascination with dictators makes for a funny juxtaposition.

Then why was Jon Stewart afraid to make fun of Caitlyn Jenner?

reply

I don't care why JS blah blah. Trump is the Prez, who presumedly we should all be emulating and admiring. Au contraire !!
He's an awful person, and getting worse and worse as time moves on. If you enjoy this shit-show, just lay down and roll around in it. Stewart and Jenner? I couldn't care less.

reply

You're proving my point. You don't care about Caitlyn Jenner and yet she is still off limits for jokes. The left is humorless killjoys.

The only reason you don't like Trump is because you believed Iraq had WMDs because the media said so, then you believe Syria had chemical weapons, again because the media said so. Of course you hate Trump. You've never lost before.

Wow. You are telling me what I believe about topics I've never even thought about before. You should have your own podcast that we can all ignore versus having you drop in here with random nonsense. Good luck !

Bruce...it's Bruce Jenner.

I think it's hilarious and they should keep doing it.
