Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Woof. How embarrassing.
Is it me of have a lot of gen X comedians become like "wife bad" boomers?
Gen X internalized boomer culture. They may hate that they did, but they did, and they know it.
We love our gen X and Boomer comrades though. It must have been hell growing up through that and somehow staying left
Absolutely. Leftists over 40-ish are true survivors. I don't buy into generational war crap. That's distraction from the real war, the class war.
I'm old and I think "wife bad" comedians have always existed. I suspect that if looked at the 1970s comedy I grew up with - I'd be surprised (if not shocked) how much casual misogyny there was. I assume this sort of stuff - "What's wrong with women/girls? Why are they so stupid? The other day..." - was considered normal in stand-up, in tv series, etc. Long after things have changed - it can be surprisingly hard to remember the details of what used to be mainstream.
The difference today is it's unacceptable for stand-ups to hate on women to a normie audience. Turds like Schneider can't help themselves. They have to attack... erm - I mean "make jokes about" somebody so they moved on to small minority groups like trans people.
I think Schneider is playing with fire. One day he could realize he became too problematic and he lost the support of his all-important patrón Adam Sandler. I've always wondered if Sandler's a sort of a shitty person in private and in reality.
I like to believe Sandler's politics are those of You Don't Mess With The Zohan, which features an Israeli supersoldier quitting the army for love and teaming up with a Palestinian supersoldier to beat up white supremacists funded by a capitalist
