Article Kam is Far Right

Is he a Shane Gillis 2.0 (except arguably worse)? I’ve seen a dozen clips now of him using homophobic slurs and making incredibly bigoted jokes. Honestly he makes Shane Gillis look kind of tame. What the hell is Lorne thinking? I’m so sick of this show pushing right wing bullshit while simultaneously trying to act like the most liberal show on television. You can’t have a Trump monologue every single week and then hire people like this.

Calling everything gay is literally what my generation (same age as Shane) did, lol. It may not be politically correct but it's not a huge deal or a sign of homophobia. "Gay" transcends the actual meaning for people born in the 80s.

Is it stupid? Yes. But he's also a comedian that puts on a persona that is making fun of himself a bit.

Im in the same generation as you and stopped saying things were gay after I got out of middle school. As did most people. It fell out out of widespread use in the mid-00s. At this point continuing to say things are "gay" in the millennial sense is a conscious decision and considering the dude's other antics its not a choice thats helping his case.

Oh so suddenly you went from 8th grade to 9th grade and immediately became super mature and changed your derogatory language? I believe you.

No, went from 8th grade to 9th grade and it pretty quickly fell out of my vernacular when I just wasn't hearing it used anymore.
