AMY SCHUMER'S LEATHER SPECIAL WAS RELEASED LAST WEEK, AND IT
HAS ALREADY AMASSED OVER 1000 RESPONSES, A LOT OF WHICH ARE
ONE STARS, WHICH SHE THINKS COMES FROM ALT-RIGHT TROLLS
TRYING TO RUIN HER CAREER.
"THEY ORGANIZED TO GET MY RATINGS DOWN, MEETING IN SUB
REDDIT ROOMS, AND I WANT TO THANK THEM."
SHE TALKS ABOUT AN ARTICLE THAT MENTIONS SOME OF THE COMMENTS
ABOUT AMY SCHUMER IN THE SUB REDDIT, THE DONALD, SO YOU
CAN SEE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY ARE TELLING THEIR
FOLLOWERS TO DO.
IT SAYS, "TO THOSE WHO STILL HAVE NETFLIX, JUST ADDED A NEW
AMY SCHUMER SPECIAL, PLEASE GO AND ONE STAR THAT PIECE OF
SHIT."
THESE SORT OF THINGS, AND YOU CAN SEE IN SOME OF THEIR
RESPONSES ON NETFLIX THAT THESE ARE DEFINITELY TROLLS.
THE FIRST ONE I WILL READ IS, "I WOULDN'T WANT ANYTHING WITH
THIS IGNORANT WHINING BABY, EVEN IF YOU PAID ME, DOES THAT MAKE
IT CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU LIBERAL NUT JOBS?"
IT'S LIKE COMMENTS ON YOUTUBE, I DIDN'T WATCH THIS VIDEO BUT
I KNOW IT'S STUPID.
THEN WHY ARE YOU RATING IT?
EVEN IF YOU ARE A FEW MINUTES IN, YOU CAN MAYBE RATE IT THEN,
BUT IF YOU DID NOT WATCH IT, YOU DON'T GET TO COMMENT ON IT.
STOP IT.
I HOPE THERE WAS AT LEAST ONE PERSON WHO WAS LIKE, ALL RIGHT,
CLICK, I'M GOING TO GIVE THIS A TERRIBLE RATING, THEN THEY START
WATCHING THE VIDEO AND THEY ARE LIKE, SHE'S FUNNY, SHE'S
ACTUALLY SELF-DEPRECATING, OH.
I LOVE THAT SHE IS SAYING THAT IT MAKES HER STRONGER, BECAUSE
THE ñ BECAUSE SHE IS THIS VERY EMPOWERING VOICE FOR A LOT OF
WOMEN.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOVE HER COMEDY BUT SHE IS A VERY
EMPOWERING VOICE FOR A LOT OF WOMEN.
SHE SPEAKS A LOT OF THAT SHE SPEAKS ABOUT A LOT OF POLITICAL
ISSUES, SHE WAS VERY ACTIVE IN ñ
VIDEO BUFFERING ñ
IT'S STILL OPENING UP THIS CONVERSATION THAT A LOT OF
WOMEN ARE TOLD THEY CAN'T HAVE IN PUBLIC.
AND IT IS OFFENDING A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO, TO HER POINT,
IS MAKING HER FEEL MORE POWERFUL, SO ALL POWER TO HER.
SHE'S NOT MY CUP OF TEA, REGARDLESS, BUT WHAT SHE HAS TO
SAY, SOME PARTS ARE FUNNY, SOME HEARTS, BUT DO YOU FEEL LIKE
WHEN SHE HAS PUT THIS MESSAGE ACROSS IT IS A WAY TO KIND OF
JUSTIFY, THAT MAYBE IN CASE HER RATINGS AREN'T AS GOOD, TO
SAY IT'S THOSE OUT THERE, MAYBE PUSHING THE BLAME ON THE FACT
THAT THEY ARE CONTROLLING IT IF THEY MIGHT NOT BE DOING AS WELL?
MAYBE, MAYBE, WHO KNOWS.
BUT, FRIENDS HAS 1 STAR ON NETFLIX.
SOMEONE SHOULD GO TO JAIL FOR THAT.
AND SINCE IT HAS BEEN ON, I HAVE WATCHED LITERALLY EVERY
EPISODE OF FRIENDS.
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING ñ AMY PETE ñ AMY SCHUMER IS ENOUGH OF
A KNOWN QUANTITY THAT YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO WATCH THE
SPECIAL OR NOT.
SHE IS CONTROVERSIAL ENOUGH THAT SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED
IN WATCHING THAT SPECIAL MIGHT LOOK AT HER AND SAY, THERE'S
PROBABLY DETRACTORS OUT THERE, THERE'S A PROBABLY ñ THIS ENOUGH
PEOPLE DON'T LIKE HER THAT ONE STAR IS FOR HER.
THAT SAID, NO MATTER HOW MANY DETRACTORS SHE HAS, SHE
STILL GOT A STACK OF CHANGE.
SHE HAS HER COMEDY CENTRAL SHOW, WHICH HAS WON AWARDS.
SHE'S DOING GREAT.
1ST OF ALL, I LOVE ñ I LIKE THAT SHE IS CALLING THEM OUT, I THINK
THAT'S IMPORTANT, TO BRING RECOGNITION THAT THERE IS THESE
SUB REDDITS THAT ARE PINPOINTING HER.
THE OTHER THING IS THAT NETFLIX JUST SWITCHED OVER TO
THUMBS-UP/ THUMBS DOWN INSTEAD OF STARS.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEIR
DECISION OR NOT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM.
WHEN WE PUT YOUTUBE VIDEOS OUT, IF YOU TALK ABOUT ANYTHING LIKE
FEMALE EMPOWERMENT OR ANYTHING, YOU ARE GOING TO GET MORE
DISLIKES THAN LIKES.
I GENERALLY THINK IT DOES GO BOTH WAYS ON BOTH SIDES OF
THE POLITICAL SPHERE.
IVANKA TRUMP DIRECTLY FEELING THE PERCUSSIONS OF BEING
ASSOCIATED AND CAUGHT UP IN A POLITICAL FIGHT, WHICH IS
UNDERSTANDABLE BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO PURCHASE HER
CLOTHES BECAUSE IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH DONALD TRUMP.
WHAT I SAY TO THIS IS, I THINK THIS IS ALL PART AND PARCEL
OF BEING INVOLVED IN POLITICS.
THIS IS WHY WHENEVER I TALK ABOUT CELEBRITIES BEING
INVOLVED, I AM ALL FOR THEM SPEAKING OUT.
BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO GET PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES, IT'S SO
PART AND PARCEL WITH IT, SO I THINK IT DOES ANY GOOD TO COME
OUT AND SAY, THEY ARE TROLLING ME, BECAUSE AS SOON AS YOU
INSERT YOURSELF INTO THAT CONVERSATION, THAT IS BOUND TO
HAPPEN ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ARGUMENT.
I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S ANYTHING NEW, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A
COMEDIAN, YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL THAT YOU CANNOT RIP ON DONALD
TRUMP BECAUSE YOU ARE WORRIED THAT YOU MIGHT BE PISSING
OFF ANOTHER AUDIENCE.
ALSO, IF YOU ARE A TROLL, THE LAST PERSON YOU SHOULD GO AFTER
IS A STANDUP COMEDIAN, BECAUSE THEY CUT THEIR TEETH ENOUGH IN
SHITTY CLUBS WITH PEOPLE WORSE THAN YOU FOUR YEARS.
HOW ñ ALSO, HOW BAD IS YOUR LIFE THAT YOU COMMIT TO GOING ON
AND GIVE SOMEBODY A ONE STAR COMMENT ON NETFLIX?
I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT WAS THERE, HOW DO I FIND THIS
FUNCTION?
I'M GOING TO GO TELL STRANGER THINGS HOW I REALLY FEEL.
IDEALLY, WHAT NETFLIX IS DOING IS FINDING OUT WHAT THESE TROLLS
DON'T LIKE, WHICH IS APPARENTLY AMY SCHUMER, AND THEN BURYING
ALL OF THIS STUFF AT THE BOTTOM OF THEIR QUEUE, AND THEN
MAKING IT THAT MUCH HARDER FOR THE TROLLS TO FIND THE NEXT
ONE THAT COMES OUT.
YEAH, LIKE ARE YOU MORE RACIST THAN A FIFTH GRADER
OR
SOMETHING.
