Unfunny Irish comedians <<MOD note in OP>>

"I believe that Spittle has become a figurehead for many angry men who don't like a "woke," "undoubtedly unattractive" woman invading the boy's club that is stand up comedy."

And that's just it.

You believe something that has no basis in reality.

In fact, despite people saying explicitly that the reason people don't find her funny is that her jokes are ****, you have chosen to believe that men don't like her because she is an unattractive woman.

That's just your projection. You have no evidence of it. You have the people you are accusing of this, literally saying that you are wrong and explaining their reasoning.

You want it to be about sexism, misogyny and anti-wokeness so much that you are creating accusations out of nothing, just so you can level baseless accusations against posters you disagree with.

I'm sure there are people who don't like Alison Spittle because of her looks or her "woke" opinions, but on this thread, I have seen very little to back up your assertion that there are many angry men who have adopted her as a figurehead.

"I think when one not-particularly-famous female comedian is pilloried in this thread in particular it's fair to say that's more to it then an absence of yuk-yuks. In other words if one comedian is a lightning rod for criticism above all I think there's more to the criticism than meets the eye"

Not particularly famous female comedian? It's a thread about unfunny Irish comedians. She is one of the most famous female comedians and happens to be, in a lot of peoples opinions, one of the worst.

And not a word about Jason Byrne? He has been getting abuse too. But no, its only the women you need to defend.

The fact that you assume that the criticism directed towards her about how unfunny she is, is about her weight or her looks or her gender just shows how much you desperately want it to be about misogyny.

Might it be possible that a lot of people don't find her funny, because she is not funny? No no, much more likely that it's an angry men's conspiracy to take down wokeness and keep women down?

When you don't have an enemy to rail against and prove how progressive and socially aware you are, create one.
