Master of None (Aziz Ansari, Netflix) TV Show • Page 24

Aziz could have absolutely done the right thing and did the work, especially knowing that interview was done in bad faith. Instead he complained about how sensitive people are.

 

He started complaining about cancel culture lol

 

That was exactly my issue, it was such a needless pivot. He didn’t deny what he did, was able to admit where he went wrong, acknowledged that people were right to feel let down by him, and apologized to the survivor. In literally any other case we’d call that a passable start toward the accountability process. But then he suddenly went after cancel culture? As if to say “I’m saying I’m sorry but I shouldn’t have to”?? It wasn’t even like everything he said was super off base, but the fact that it was all both predicated and punctuated with his own sexual assault allegations was wayyy off putting and very telling that his remorse was likely less than genuine. He straight up told on himself.

 

Anyone have pull quotes from his special, or wherever it was, that he decried cancel culture? Curious to see what he said

 

From the beginning of the special:

The whole transcript is here: Aziz Ansari: Right Now (2019) - Transcript - Scraps from the loft

 

someone said "oh hey man the way you assaulted that woman made me think about how I may have assaulted women" so I guess you could say I've grown and helped others along the way


what absolute shit

 

Yeah see, it's all about him.

"I felt scared."
"I felt humiliated."
"I felt embarrassed."
"After a year or so, I just hope it was a step forward."
"It moved things forward for me."
"I hope I've become a better person."
"It’s important to me that you know how I feel about that whole thing before we share this night together."

Like cool dude glad you were able to really take some time to work on yourself before getting back out there and making millions of dollars again. Something tells me "that whole thing" wasn't quite such a valuable experience to Grace, but hey good for you bro.

 

yeah, the blasé way he refers to "that whole thing" is disgusting and shows he really doesn't treat what he did with any sincerity and hasn't grown at all

 

'Master of None' Season 3 Gets Netflix Release - Variety

The season is expected to be a departure for the show, and it’s believed to focus on Lena Waithe’s character, Denise. Early reports about the third season indicated that Naomi Ackie (“The End of the F***ing World”) would join the cast.

 

Even if that were true, I'm still not watching it because I don't want to give Aziz the numbers lol

 

Plus Lena Waithe has made a few questionable things lately that give me some pause

 

Can someone explain why Lena Waithe sucks?

 

Lena Waithe On Jason Mitchell’s ‘The Chi’ Firing: “I Trusted Someone Else To Do My Job” – Deadline

Also all her screenplays are black people dying or being tortured

 

Yeah she's been catching a ton of (deserved) shit for her involvement in that show Them on Amazon

 

Well that answers that question

 

The Emmy Award-winning MASTER OF NONE returns with a new season that chronicles the relationship of Denise (Emmy Award winner Lena Waithe) and her partner Alicia (BAFTA winner Naomi Ackie). Directed by series co-creator and Emmy winner Aziz Ansari, and scripted by Ansari and Waithe, this new season is a modern love story that intimately illustrates the ups and downs of marriage, struggles with fertility, and personal growth both together and apart. Fleeting romantic highs meet crushing personal losses while existential questions of love and living are raised.
Co-created by Ansari and Emmy Award winner Alan Yang, Season 3 delivers an evolution of the series that remains tethered to previous seasons while breaking new storytelling ground of its own.

 

no thank you!

 

it's essentially a movie of Lena's character it seems, 5 episodes total

 

nope

 

.

 

What's great is this way even the apologists will be disappointed

 

Feel like this was pictched to Netflix as something completely different and got retrofitted to be vaguely Master of None related
