A 17-year-old movie critic was blasted after he tweeted this picture with Amy Schumer at the Critics’ Choice Awards:
Many news outlets were quick to call the joke “sexist” and “slut shaming.”
Oh, cry me a river.
He later apologized for the tweet.
To me, it sounded like he was trying to be in on the joke. Amy Schumer’s whole shtick is about being vulgar and hypersexual. Here’s a line from her most recent stand up special, “I love New York because this is a town where I can get laid. I can catch a D here kinda whenevs, yeah. ” Her 2012 special was called, “Mostly Sex Stuff.” The name of her TV show is called, “Inside Amy Schumer” for gosh sake. Most of her skits (and I have laughed at them) deal with sex.
Of course, many comedians talk about sex in their act. It’s a funny and relatable topic. But Amy even admits, “I have used sex as a marketing tool and it has worked.” She has been more than willing to present herself as sex obsessed for laughs. Therefore, is it so surprising when that’s how people see her? It would be like Howard Stern getting offended for being known as the sexual vulgar radio host.
This is how it comes off:
Amy: I have one night stands! LOL
17 year old male: You have one night stands! LOL
Amy and the media: HOW DARE YOU, SEXIST.
How you present yourself matters. You can’t really blame someone for repeating a narrative that you put out there about yourself. Take some personal accountability. When you name your TV show after your private parts, realize how that affects people’s image of you. I don’t doubt that Amy is actually not that promiscuous in real life as she says. However, the public only knows her by what she lets us know.
My advice: own your shtick or change it.
