Thoughts about SNL adding Non-Binary cast-member?


I guess we can't call Molly Kearney a he nor a she, can we?

reply

Stunt casting is bullshit.

It's sad that society has gotten to this--whether you're for this or against it, it shouldn't be a big deal. It prevents people from being judged for the "content of their" characters. Immutable characteristics should never be this important. It's the sign of an infantile population, either way.

reply

I have no idea what you're saying. "Immutable characteristics should never be this important"? What the hell are you even talking about?

"It's the sign of an infantile population"? What? How exactly?

This sounds like one of those movie reviews that just makes no sense, like you're speaking in a foreign language. I am not an unintelligent person, but I just cannot make sense of this jibberish BS.

reply

"I am not an unintelligent person"

You've proven beyond a reasonable doubt that you are.

reply

I disagree. You have proven that you're incapable of communicating in a style that's understandable to the general population. Which makes for a very boring personality. (I know a college librarian like this... total nerd).

Now go have a nice day :) !!

reply

Nothing I've said is too difficult for anyone with a grade school education to understand. The problem, Dave, is that you're a dumb motherfucker. Hope that was clear enough for you.

reply

DAVE IS COOL AND PLENTY SMART...YOU HOWEVER ARE A DERANGED GOBLIN WHO TAKES PLEASURE IN TYPING UP EMBARRASSING MESSAGES FULL OF POORLY USED BIG WORDS...ALL IN THE MISPLACED BELIEF THAT SOMEONE,ANYONE MIGHT THINK YOU HAVE ANY VALUE WHATSOEVER.

reply

You're both fucking idiots.

Hope that's easy enough for you morons to understand.

AWW

Thanks for having my back KOWALSKI. Sadly, as with the old IMDB forum, Internet boards will always be home to idiots and trolls. You said it perfectly: "poorly used big words". It's one thing to use "big words", fine, we're impressed. But to use them in a context that makes sense, that's intelligence, Which SandyR is not conveying with his jumbled concoction of gibberish. And then the personal attacks begin, SIGH. This is exactly what brought down the IMDB forum.

reply

Shut the fuck up.

reply

"Immutable characteristics should never be this important" is only a confusing sentence if you don't know what the word, "immutable", is.

Is that the problem here? You ran into a word you didn't know and now you blame the user for your own ignorance?

reply

It prevents people from being judged for the "content of their" characters.


We still judge them based on the content of their character, the problem with people that play identity politics is that they don’t take responsibility for their actions. Any criticism of them is interpreted as an attack on their race/gender/sexual orientation etc.

reply

That is true. A force field created from something they have no actual control over.

reply

Non-binary is not an "immutable characteristic", unless you count being mentally ill as an immutable characteristic.

reply

I guess we can't call Molly Kearney a he nor a she, can we?

I just use It/It when it comes to this idiocy. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

And of course she's about as funny as pubic lice. This show is dead. Good riddance.

reply

Wow, did she plant audience members to laugh? She must've. I know stand-up pretty well, and nothing she said is even remotely funny, and people are mysteriously laughing at every line she says.

reply

Pretty sure that was a laugh track added in. Had to have been. That was painful to watch.

reply

Jesus, that got it a place on the show? Standards must be low, that was awful.

reply

They went from David Pumpkins to just a pumpkin

reply

Its pat?

reply

Good answer! That was funny as hell. Wouldn't fly today.

Humorless 'Saturday Night Live' Lets Non-Binary Comedian Lecture on Trans Kids

When NBC's Saturday Night Live made the dramatic announcement that they'd hired their first "non-binary" cast member, you could guess that the lectures would follow. Molly Kearney unloaded a sermon for "trans kids" on the fake-news "Weekend Update" segment on Saturday.

Over giggles, "Weekend Update" co-host Michael Che tried to be earnest: "Since the start of this year, over 400 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced across the country, many of which target trans youth. Here to talk about it is someone with their own introduction."

Then over rock music, an announcer yelled "Introducing SNL's first nonbinary cast member. It's Molly Kearney!" Kearney was lowered down from above in a harness. NBC did the same promo on the SNL Twitter account.

Possibly referring to behind-the-scenes lobbying, Kearney began: "Well, as you know, I have been wanting to come to Update and talk about trans people, but I have for a much longer time than that wanted to fly down from the ceiling!"

Che then asked if that lived up to expectations. Kearney joked the harness was tight, and "My groin area is beefed! I’ve been hung up on my genitals for far too long and I’m starting to feel like a frickin’ Republican lawmaker!" Har har har.

"That's an awesome transition," said Che, smirking at the double entendre. "As of this week, there are now over 14 states that have passed bills restricting health care for trans kids."

Kearney responded: "Listen to that, Michael, restricting health care for kids. For some reason, there's something about the word trans that makes people forget the word kids. If you don't care about trans kids' lives, it means you don't care about fricking kids' lives!" The audience cheered wildly.

reply

The "400 anti LGTBQ bills" comment is just pure fiction, also known as a lie. The woke fucks are so pathetic they need to make shit up to be offended by.

reply

Pushing trans rights is an interesting sword for the left to fall on..after all, they're approx 1 out of every 3000 people.

I guess the left sees the right as being very weak, and if they can win this trans battle they will ultimately win a successful hostile takeover of the country. But if they lose, do they lose everything?

I'm definitely going to stay tuned to this incredible culture/political war..from the sidelines.

reply

I guarantee they are significantly less than 1 out of 3000. They try to embellish the numbers to support their aggenda, but also their are many fad trans people out there that won't be identifying that way in a few years.

reply

That's a great point, if trans turns out to be a fad, they are going to get badly burned. Like I mentioned above, they're putting all their marbles in this one bag, they've got everything to win and everything to lose b/c trans.

reply

Many of those bills have to do with Parental Consent! They are not Anti-Trans. They are protecting a Parents' right to know what's going on with the kids they are raising and paying for!

reply

Exactly. Just like they tried mislabeling the "don't say gay" bill in florida, that never once mentions homosexuality.

reply

Terming "gender affirming care" or "sex change operations" as "health care" is really a slippery slope.

It's totally "elective", and does not fall into the category of "health care". I suppose they are lumping it in with "mental health" care.

Discuss.
