As I've said in other topics, if you look at the small amount of reviews that made it sink to 0%, most mention nothing about SJW stuff and more about how the material is kinda half-assed and phoned in

Having watched some of the special I don't really disagree

I think he has an overall rating of 79%, but his Sticks and Stones special is at 27%

Not surprising. Critics are a bunch of prissy wimps.

considering most of those are 5/5 or whatever and the only thing in them is "fuck the libs" I don't know that it's a pretty good measure.

Can you imagine being a "comedy critic"? What a meaningless existence.

RT has always been an awkward medium for reviews of non-film pieces of media because for whatever reason few reviews of them seem to get collated on the website. So you end up with a fairly incomplete picture or a very skewed score.

Of course in this instance this has been weaponised to 'own the libs' and created this massive vocal outrage that vastly dwarfs any sort of critique (however fair) of the special. In turn, we get things like the silly review bombing.

This whole episode has been so tiresome, honestly.

Critic reviews nowadays are pretty off on their reviews.

It's usually safer to say if 99% of 32k people are giving it more than a 7, that it's probably more accurate than like 15 critics giving it below 7.

This sounds logical but then I think of how stupid most people are and how prone they are to flooding with meaningless 5 or 1 star reviews

I don't really much care for Dave Chappelle

But I will say this - if we've lost the ability to laugh at offensive comedy, we've taken PC too far.

That's not really how statistics works and I don't see any proof that a large majority of 32k people gave it above 7 because they didn't honestly enjoy it.

These same critics praised The Last Jedi for being a different and refreshing kind of Star Wars movie.

RT scores means dick anymore.
