[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 372700, member: 35"] Kathy Griffin and Amy Schumer have jumped on the Russell Brand bashing bandwagon. They're proclaiming that this is exclusively a problem with male entertainers. As Griffin put it, "You don’t hear this stuff about Amy Schumer, Chelsea Handler, Sarah Silverman, or Wanda Sykes. You know what you hear about my contemporaries? You hear that they’re 'difficult’ or ‘bossy’ or whatever, and the one I get all the time is ‘expensive.’" Of course, Griffin and her contemporaries don't just have the fact that they're female in common. They also happen to be neoliberal Democrat Biden supporters. That makes them a protected class, which is a luxury not afforded to anti-establishment outsiders. Anti-establishment women generally aren't accused of sex crimes, but they do receive a ton of vitriol online. Susan Sarandon had smear pieces written about her in mainstream rags and was called filthy names on social media for not supporting Hillary Clinton. Griffin herself tweeted "F*** you" to Jill Stein and her supporters. So much for civility. Schumer responded to Griffin's post by saying “I love you. I hope to some day earn as much as the rapists and transphobes in the game. Also, it’s just a part of my story that I have taken jokes from other comics, and I have never in my life, not even once, done that. We have to just fight for ourselves. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Love you Kath.” I find this to be a rather disingenuous and pathetic comparison. For starters, being accused of being a joke thief is not even remotely as serious as being accused of rape. Secondly, there is irrefutable video evidence on YouTube of Schumer doing bits and sketches that had been done earlier by different performers. That fact that she found a way to make this about herself is pretty slimy, especially since she went about it in a dishonest way. Sadly, there are no shortage of suckers out there who will find her brave for this. I may be burying the lede here, but Griffin also claims Brand groped her friend. What a shocker that she's just now getting around to revealing that.
