Nostalgia Critic got unfairly slammed by us!

Post Reply New Topic

Apparently a lot of Autistic folks got really offended by a joke he made in one of his movie reviews.

And to be fair...I don't think the joke was funny, but I wasn't offended. To be fair...I don't even understand what in hell the joke had anything at all to do with Autism, whatsoever. Not well thought-out or executed true, but not all jokes will always be.

Also...I'm kinda hard to offend. Regardless, here's the clip. Decide for yourself:

And yes, people are pissed off with us over this. To be fair, this time, I don't blame 'em.

I didn't see anything wrong with that joke. I found it quite funny. No wonder people hate us, so much. The majority of our population, would blow this joke, out of proportion.

I still wish I understood the proportion for it to be blown out of; I didn't even understand what was supposed to be funny about it..or how it even relates to Autistic folks.

It takes a lot, lot, lot more to insult me than something like this. Ya gotta insult my intelligence, and lemme tell ya, most folks are not up to that task.

Well, I emailed Doug Walker, and apologized for what happened...and I also slammed the jackass who criticized him for it on his own damn blog.

Seriously...look up "Nostalgia Critic Autism" on Google; you'll find the blog, and where I blasted him for it.

I am not offended but at the same time "what is so funny ?"

Oh for god's sake why do people get so offended over little things like that.
I know it's not laugh out loud, but it's not an offensive joke at all.

And yes I agree with the video "get a sense of humour asspies"

even if the joke were offensive, who cares?!

As South Park even said it best "either all of it's ok, or none of it's ok"

Here here!

I didn't see a joke. Just an inoffensive bloke playing with puppets. I heard what was said, but I can neither see why it's a "joke", nor why it might be offensive. It must be only a minority of people who complained, I can't see anyone being bothered by that.

What exactly is the joke???

Interesting...didn't know this.

This type of thing doesn't only happen in our population. Some people are just easily offended. That being said, I didn't think this joke was offensive at all.

My thoughts exactly.

i wasnt offended lol, everything deserves to be made fun of

I'm afraid it sailed right by me, too, as well as the offense. However, please remember, our entire culture seems to have collectively excised its sense of humor and ability to recognize and appreciate satire or parody, as well as their ability to behave like civil human beings. It's not surprising that someone somewhere took offense.

I too completely missed what was funny and/or offensive in that clip. I'm more offended by the fact that someone thought he/she/they could speak representing all autistics.

Well, here's the jackass who wrote in "representing us", and I placed a comment on his page "letting 'im have it":

Advocate of Autism

I'll tell ya, I get annoyed whenever I hear people say how they think this or that censorship is wrong, and then do absolutely nothing about it because--I believe deep down--they're actually in favor of it, and feel bad about what was indeed censored.

Well, if I got something to say I'm gonna say it, and if someone from the Autism community is gonna shoot his/her mouth off about "what's offensive" in the process censoring something, you can damn well bet they're gonna hear it from me...

I love sensitive people, they sure love to ruin everything.


I didn't see how it was a joke and I wasn't offended at all. I didn't find it funny either because I don't see how it was a joke.


EDIT:

I posted these comments on youtube:
