JS’s lisps and prancing?
One of the things that turns me off about Jon Stewart is when he talks with a lisp or a prance or gets real sassy. I love him otherwise while I like him otherwise but when he does that, not only does it feel cheap, overdone and borrowed but it is also such a short cut. Critiques patriarchy or misogyny, but he seems to really struggle with masculinity himself doesn’t he? He did it last night while making fun of Trump and it’s almost like the comedy would’ve been better if he would’ve just said Trump is so gay that… or Trump is such a gay president that, but when he gets into the gay face or the performative of it all I’m lost.
