I'm not really sure if those comments are necessarily 'homophobic.' Maybe he's stereotyping a bit? Sure. But at least it wasn't something along the lines of 'Gays are an abomination under God!' or "Gays should not have 'special rights,' such as gay marriage."
 
2012-03-29 02:07:50 PM
When will he apologize for defiling Jennifer Love Hewitt?
 
2012-03-29 02:37:43 PM
He only apologized for one of those two words.

Seconded!
/Subby, I'd believe you only if he says that every morning to himself in the mirror.

I'm certainly not going to get all worked about this. But what you said bothers me a bit. True, we don't need to be deeply offended by every little thing. But furtherance of the stereotypes is homophobia as much as outright discrimination.

not homophobic, but very stupid. FFS the guy who led the passenger revolt on Flight 93 was gay. And if you look at the dudes in the Pride parade, most of em are in very good shape.
 
2012-03-29 03:05:55 PM
His remarks weren't particularly funny in any light, but certainly wasn't of the vile nature that I would've thought would generate the relative outrage it did. I can't help but think if Carson Daly wasn't such an otherwise vanilla, milquetoast, and downright uninteresting personality, his comments would just raise an eyebrow at most, and everyone would've moved on.
 
2012-03-29 03:07:47 PM
He has the right to offend whomever he wants.

And he will have to live with the consequences.

The safest place to be in any city is the local gay leather bar.

He wouldn't have to apologize if would just out himself as openly Republican.

It was not a good joke. If it had been a funny gay joke he wouldn't have to apologize.

So when does the general internet outrage populace start demanding apologies from stand up comics?

Until he appologizes with a dick in his mouth, he can STFU.
I served in a unit with some very bad assed gays, and I didn't care what they did on their days off, as long as they could shoot straight, and break a man's neck with one hand.
Farking Carson Daly is a limp wristed farktard, and his parents are douches for naming him carson and he's a douche for acting like a "carson" and he can say one homophobic thing around me, but it will be the last thing he says that isn't in falsetto for the rest of his life because I'll kick his balls up into his frontal lobes then kick his ass to the curb and out infront of the first bus that comes along, whoever this self impportant douche-nozzle is.

Well, let me put it to you like this. A bigot doesn't bother me. A bigot who attempts, or encourages others to attempt to deny the rights of others based off of that bigotry bother me.

What he's saying does increase the idea of a stereotype towards gays. Maybe the belief in a stereotype is in itself a bad thing, but I don't think it crosses a line until people are encouraged to hate that stereotype and to act upon it.

Am I making sense?

My first time in a leather bar was almost 20 years ago,I was a big 'ol 19 year old naive farm boy from the sticks with a fake ID and no clue what I would encounter.

It was...educational.

A guy as close as he is to appearing to play for "the other team", shouldnt make jokes.

Leather gays aren't my thing but I've gotten very close to trouble during the weekly beer bashes at the Eagle in Minneapolis.

/I don't recall ever having to buy a beer in that place

I have to admit, the article has written pretty much the best description of Carson Daly anyone could ever hope to come up with.
 
2012-03-29 03:33:22 PM
Why don't we just make a rule that you can only make fun of/crack jokes on whatever special group you belong too. Gay? Fine only you can make a gay joke. Black? fine only you can make a black joke. Redneck? fine only you can make a redneck joke. that way I'll never have to hear or read anymore about someone saying something stupid and people getting all outraged over it.

So if he said things like that about a racial/ethnic group instead of gays, would you be saying he's not a racist?

Carson Daly always looks so insecure. Like he knows that there are a thousand people in Hollywood that could do his job better and for less money. He knows he's hanging on by a thread.

Bullshiat.

White people can't dance, black people like watermelon, jews are cheap, asians can't drive,gays tend to be effeminate, etc.

are they always true? certainly not but they are often true and accepting reality doesn't make you hateful or fearful of a group. I support gay marriage, have even attended a couple, love my gay relatives and friends etc and chuckled a little at his joke, and I do mean a little. It was pretty weak

Daly was an idiot though. White men can't stereotype a minority in public without angering that minority.It just isn't allowed.

More amazing to me is that apparently Carson really is straight. I always kinda thought him a closet case but with the joke done that broad he must be straight. A closet case would be aware of the existence of the Bear subculture I would think.

vudukungfu: whoever this self impportant douche-nozzle is.

Do you even know who Carson Daly is? Take a piece of cardboard roughly 6ft tall, and lean it up against a wall in your workspace, or living room at home for about a week. That piece of cardboard is infinitely more engaging, and more worth either your praise, or your ire, than Carson boring-ass Daly.

Most people outside of the gay community or those who do not socialize with anyone who is gay have no idea what a 'Bear' is in this context.

CSB time.

I was super nervous at the time. The moment I walked through the door I was felt like a piece of raw meat thrown into the shark tank, and was getting the looks like I may not have make it out in one piece.

So I kind of hid in the back in a corner which was near the basement door. Which opened and one of the bartenders who was this big muscle daddy was coming out of it carrying a couple of cases of beer. He started to drop them, and I helped him catch them.

Of course being the polite young man I was, and taught to respect my elders I immediately asked him if he needed any help and not really catching what the hungry look in his eye when I called him "sir" (hey, it was how I was raised)

So we head down to the basement.

Me: Gosh, it sure is dark in here, I can barely see...hey why are you unzipping my pants and getting down on....ohhhhhhhh"

That's what I was going to say. Even if Carson knows better, he was playing to the commonly accepted stereotype most people operate with.

Nope. It's only around 25 to 30 people. I'm probably missing quite a few, since not every person makes it obvious and I only tag people that make it pretty damn obvious.

"...I will continue to fight with them."

There's your problem, Carson. Stop fighting with them, then apologize.

Oh you meant "fight alongside them" or "fight for them" or "fight along with them"

Your command of the language sucks. Stop mincing about and say what you mean. That would be fabulous.
