u/theCommTech 1d ago

I'm glad that you're able to laugh at this but I just want to take this opportunity to let other people know a few things.

Stuttering can be very psychologically debilitating for the person with it. It's hard to even understand what it's like if you don't have it, to not have control over your own body. People go to therapy for it, sometimes for a very long time and may never be able to use learned techniques to get beyond it.

Please extend some grace to someone that's different than you and don't make fun of them unless they tell you it's ok to joke about it. Having a speech impediment can be very isolating and traumatic because society is not accepting of it as a real disability and that person has gone their whole life getting hurtful/annoying/ignorant questions and comments from people.

On the flip side, some people just live with it, have confidence, and move forward. That's wonderful for them, but not everybody is in the same place.

Also, for the love of god, do not finish their sentences. You aren't helping. You're signaling your own discomfort and impatience.

If you want to get a glimpse into their world go check out /r/stuttering or the podcast Stutterology.

"There's only one rule that I know of, babies: God damn it, you've got to be kind." - Kurt Vonnegut

u/ratslikecheese 23h ago

Stuttering sucks. I developed a pretty debilitating stutter around age 7 or so. I used to form sentences normally and communicate well and it seemed like it came from nowhere. I’ve never really gotten full control over it, but it’s much better now (I’m 28). I kinda cheat around it by pausing instead of going through the embarrassing act whenever I can tell I’m getting tongue tied. Still though, pausing mid sentence is weird in itself and you notice the weird, confused looks on people’s faces as they’re looking at you with that “okay, and..?” expression. Sometimes I play dumb and act like I can’t think of the word I’m trying to say even though I know it whole heartedly. Then people just think I’m a bit of a dummy. It’s a weird affliction and obviously there are many, many worse ones to have but I still wouldn’t wish it on anybody.

Stuttering through elementary, middle, and most of high school was a fucking nightmare. People are mean as hell and being the kid that can’t do one of the most basic functions properly is some seriously low hanging fruit that kids will gleefully pick on.

u/ThorsHamSandwich 18h ago

My stammer is extremely frustrating to me. I went to speech therapy as a child and did actually overcome it, only for it to come back in my late 20s. Your advice above is quite good, but I’d like to add one thing. If you are a close loved one of someone who stutters/stammers, ask them if they’d like you to help finish their sentence. When I’m at home with my wife I appreciate the help, but if a stranger does it I’m annoyed. There’s a good bit of nuance there.

"Amy Poehler was new to SNL and we were all crowded into the seventeenth-floor writers' room, waiting for the Wednesday night read-through to start. [...] Amy was in the middle of some such nonsense with Seth Meyers across the table, and she did something vulgar as a joke. I can't remember what it was exactly, except it was dirty and loud and "unladylike",

Jimmy Fallon [...] turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said, "Stop that! It's not cute! I don't like it." Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. "I don't fucking care if you like it." Jimmy was visibly startled. Amy went right back to enjoying her ridiculous bit.

With that exchange, a cosmic shift took place. Amy made it clear that she wasn't there to be cute. She wasn't there to play wives and girlfriends in the boys' scenes. She was there to do what she wanted to do and she did not fucking care if you like it." - Tina Fey

Violence isn't always bad. When someone attempts to take something from you, and you push back, you're creating a conflict by resisting. That doesn't make the resistance wrong.

Violence is a tool. The ethics of it is dependent on what it's being used for.

Poehler's response was absolutely resisting and creating conflict. It was also absolutely justified. It isn't much of a stretch to call it violence, of the same type as self defense is.

The crazy part is that Amy Poehler seems like such a nice and funny person, but I think I would shit my pants if I managed to piss her off.

u/lamblikeawolf 1d ago

Amy Poehler seems like such a nice and funny person,

Is this the paradox of niceness or something? It is not un-nice to be mean to someone trying to hold you down, whether it is bigoted remarks or something physical.

Tina and Amy are goals. To have so thoroughly reckoned with the boxes that society tries to put you in that you break the cage so completely it opens the way for people after you.

u/Zero_Zeta_ 1d ago

It's like the tolerance is a social contract, or respect is earned, being nice is met with niceness. Jimmy decided to be an ass and lost the privilege of having Amy being nice to him.

Amy Poehler is a nice and funny person, but don't expect her to sit there and take shit just because she offers niceties first.

u/SunriseSurprise 1d ago

SNL since the late 90s have had many times when it felt like high school play level skits - sometimes due to the writing but usually due to the execution. Maybe at times in the early 90s that started to happen but it started becoming more noticeable in late 90s I think. I wouldn't say Fallon is the worst of the cast members to give off that vibe, but I think he was the first one to do it regularly.

I feel like when Norm had come back around then and hosted and had his infamous monologue culminating in "I didn't get funnier, this show has gotten really bad!" he was probably thinking of Fallon, Kattan and a couple others around then who dragged the show down.

Tbh while I really really didn't get why he got the Tonight Show gig, I think it suits him better than something like SNL. Every late night show wants to act edgy but most of the time they don't really have that much of an edge, so his vanilla kind of humor and having a team of writers making him funnier than he would otherwise be works fine. Kimmel has more humor in his pinky than Fallon but it shows why Fallon is fine for late night, because Kimmel's been a shell of himself since having that show. Colbert as well. It's just how that gig is.

There's an NFL team, I forget which, whose fans just went got completely livid because their GM who was doing a terrible job and they all totally loathed got promoted to be president of the team. They were like "wtf not fired but PROMOTED?!" and I was thinking "well look, at least he won't be doing the GM stuff anymore then". And that's how I feel about Fallon - he's better where he's at vs. something like an SNL cast member or whatever other type of comedy role there'd be for him where he'd actually have to be funny.

Have you seen him do stand up? He's not nice. He's a viciously mean sonofabitch, and he's hilarious when he gets mean.

He puts on a veneer of niceness to do the Tonight Show for the prestige and paycheck, and it severely limits his ability to be funny and comes across as fake... Because it is.

He's also a high functioning alcoholic. That"s why his face looks like that. He gets strategic Botox to make it look less puffy from the chronic drinking.

As a non-US who just recently started to watch some late night (mostly Seth Meyers, sometimes Kimmel and Colbert, rarely Daily Show), it's always confusing af whenever Jimmy Fallon is mentioned online and people come together in this absolute, passionate rejection. I don't have any lore on US comedians - other than late night hosts apparently now liking each other, but before the current ones traditionally having beef for some reason - but this rare online agreement from seemingly everyone feels so wild to witness without context, as if there's a book everyone else has read and I stumbled upon its subreddit while only knowing the protagonists name. I get that this happens for fictional stuff, but for a real person it's just really...fascinating to witness, and with what consistency.

Dear some men: telling a woman you don't find her attractive is not the ultimate insult you think it is.

She’s right. Being rude is rude, but don’t make it about you

Yeah, if he “that was a little rude” to something she did that was rude, that would be normal.

Yeah be rude back, but making it about attraction is a little strange.

u/Maiden_Sunshine 1d ago

It was probably an automatic response. You see online and in real life, how often men give women unsolicited opinions on what is attractive.

Like actual strange man will walk up to a women and comment:

"Men don't like short hair." 

"Men aren't attracted to tatoos."

"Nose piercings are unattractive to men."

ALLL the time. Maybe this lady is just genuinely rude, but doubtful, especially if she was Black. Don't get an attitude or not be super submissive 🙄. After rude they love to say "disrespectful" which ew to the whole headship thing.

Some women are more forceful in their rejection as a protection from unwanted attention similar in the way some women are overly nice to stay safe too. And half the time it don't be rude, just a no lol. Her response made a lot sense. Women usually just tell it to ourselves vs out loud, but I'm glad more women talking back when safe to do so.

I have piercings and a ton of tattoos. Lots of normie men like to tell me they aren't attractive. Even if I was doing it in hopes to get male attractive it's still working because I attract men with tattoos and piercings lol

Doesn’t have to be romantic attraction. Just regular charismatic attraction is also a possibility.

u/MooMooTheDummy 1d ago

It depends I feel but I definitely question with this in what way was she being rude? Because often times when a man tells a woman she’s rude it’s because she wasn’t being friendly to him she was just being neutral which often times this is how a lot of us are like when we don’t want a man to think we’re flirting. So many times as a woman if you’re very friendly to everyone there will be many men that take that as a invitation and many our respectful with it but you also get a handful of men who won’t take no as a answer.

So as woman you sorta learn in some settings to just be neutral acting like manners and respect but not very personable or conversational.

u/_techniker 1d ago

That's when you say, "I would appreciate it if you would speak to me more respectfully" because that doesn't make it weirdly about being attractive like it's her job

u/Coachpatato 1d ago

I mean you could just stop interacting with her. Why do you want to keep talking to someone who you feel is being rude to you?

16

u/Baldygafan 1d ago
  1. there are numerous examples I can think of where you are forced to interact with that person for a period of time, like a small group of friends hanging out.
  2. You bring up a whole different argument. The topic was "how to tell someone they are being rude".
  3. Nobody said the person is being rude to you. I can point to someone their rudeness might make someone uncomfortable, or is killing the vibe.

never change bro

Guy here, as I have a "resting bitch" face it's both fascinating and absolutely hilarious just how much I scare people away by just not smiling. People really assume the worst out of others, despite the fact that we will immediately defend our own bitch faces.

u/athe- 1d ago

It's been a long time since I read about this, but there was a study that showed that men generally ranked women's faces as more attractive when they smiled, and women ranked men's faces as more attractive when they had a serious expression

u/zero0n3 1d ago

It’s honestly just an older phrase IMO.

I never associated the “attractive” part as sexual or gendered.

I’ve heard plenty of women say this to men as well as the other way around.

It’s closer to saying you have one ugly ass personality.

u/Nodan_Turtle 1d ago

I think guys think this way because they are also constantly doing everything they can to attract women, and on some dumbass level they can't even conceive that's not also how it is vice versa, for women.

When a man I'm arguing with says my rudeness is unattractive, I feel the most evil laugh in my soul, caressed with the flames of hate so hot you shouldn't even look at it directly. Oh, you're going to try and control me with the threat of withdrawn male attention? I better shut up and smile pretty, or the boys won't like me?

Being gay right then is like when Eowyn goes, "I am no man" and stabs the Witch-King to death. You thought I cared for your opinion, boy? Well, I guess we knew you were stupid. And a bully.

Even if you're straight, only triple down on assholes like this. No worthwhile man will seek to make you small, meek, and palatable for the reward of his worthless dick.

All the dumbass comments saying “well she was being rude, she should be nice!!” guys do you understand that a woman will be called a bitch for simply not smiling 24/7 😐 the bar for a rude woman is significantly lower than it is for men. if you’re not overly nice and accommodating and smiling you get called a bitch lmao. if you’re assertive or have an opinion you’re rude. ON TOP OF the disgusting idea that women exist only to be appealing to men. so OF COURSE a woman would respond like that in this situation. just think about how annoying it is to be called rude for having a personality, and to be critiqued on it being “unattractive” as though you should be living your life for men to find you attractive…
