Did she ever stop to think- for just one second- that most people don't care about her or her life? She literally expects a book bout herself to go flying off the shelves? So conceited our society has become. Everyone thinks they're their own special snowflake. Amy Shumer is one of the worst cases.

[–]ewilliam 26 points27 points28 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

It's not just that people don't care. I listened to an interview with her on NPR one morning. It was just awful. All of it, and I mean all of it, was about how she was a victim of this, a victim of that. She might as well have called this book "The Girl With the Victim Complex".

Maybe that shit resonates with other people who have a victim complex, but it gets old after a few pages I would guess.

[–]CountVonVague 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

lol that'd be a great spoof story of TGWTDT

[–][deleted] 158 points159 points160 points 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

What did they expect? This article that I found in 10 seconds from Google (so take it with a grain of salt), says that marketers will spend roughly $1 for every hardcover copy of a book they want to sell. If they want to sell 50K copies, they will spend $50,000 dollars.

Spending $9 million on a memoir from a woman as polarizing in reception as Amy Schumer (you either love her or you hate her) is such a dumb business decision and they deserve everything that comes their way.

[–]C1yde 44 points45 points46 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

$9m is like a tenth of a minor summer film... Did they expect this thing to be a blockbuster?

[–]HaroldOfTheRocks 10 points11 points12 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

you either love her or you hate her

I'm pretty indifferent about her.

[–]BDMR_lurker 121 points122 points123 points 9 years ago (15 children) | Copy Link

And how exactly did these 'Internet trolls' prevent her book sales? Blocked the bridges to bookstores?

Crappy Ghostbusters (as opposed to plain Ghostbusters), her book, they're peddled on ideology, so negative opinions don't matter to true believers.

It just so happens that the persons who identify with an entitled, selfish overweight cunt are, well, not willing to extend financial support. Not with their own money anyway.

.

Also, 9 million? The unprofessional feminist who greenlit this thing is probably looking for another job.

she's crying bad reviews even though the book on amazon is 4.5 stars. it has 82% 5 star reviews. it's just a classic female thing unfortunately. it's not even feminism. it's just what women do when they fail, they cry and blame.

[–]BDMR_lurker 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

She's crying bad reviews because it's a bad marketing move to announce your book doesn't sell... People might think there's a reason it doesn't.

Better imply the reviews are bad but the book is good.

Even if it's actually the opposite.

[–]Saintmyname 7 points8 points9 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They don't even have to fail to cry and blame.

[–]neoman4426 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

While they should have done it from the beginning instead of calling it just Ghostbusters (which was a very low thing on the list of things wrong with it) apparently it was always intended to have the Answer the Call subtitle eventually

I used to really like her brand of comedy, until the SJW/feminist/liberal bullshit reared its ugly head. These people let a little fame go to their head and ruin it by pandering to their lowest hanging fruit.

[–][deleted] 57 points58 points59 points 9 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link

I didn't even mind the SJW stuff, everyone has a message. I hated that she stole jokes from other comedians because people stopped laughing at her "OMG I'm such a slut." jokes.

[–]ewilliam 76 points77 points78 points 9 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

There's also the whole incident where she raped a guy (well, she had sex with him even though he was blackout drunk, which, if the roles were reversed, everyone would say that was rape no question), but then identifies as a feminist and rails against "rape culture", etc. That's where I first started to lose respect for her.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Oh wow, really? I'd never heard that.

[–]SKNK_Monk 3 points4 points5 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Not blackout drunk. That's where you're conscious but can't form memories. The dude kept passing out.

[–]ewilliam 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Hm, I didn't know that there was an objective definition of blackout drunk...but you and I know that in either state, if the genders were reversed, it would be an open-and-shut case of rape and nobody would argue any differently...yet here Amy is, openly admitting this, and she's too dense to even see the obvious fucking hypocrisy.

[–]LasherDeviance 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I've never been a big fan of female comedians, because all of their jokes are, "Sex, sex, sex, guys, my vagina."

But when she started stealing from the late great Patrice O'Neal, I said to myself, this chick is going to get shafted soon enough.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Oh dude, have you ever heard Kathleen Madigan? She's absolutely hilarious.

[–]Swinship 3 points4 points5 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

When you get the biggest Spotlight you get the biggest Scrutiny and so she sold her spine to be liked by the Liberal Media. Now its backfiring, who knew more people buy funny things from people who are themselves rather than fake virtue signalers.

[–]Classicpass 24 points25 points26 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

so every man that doesn't agree with her is a troll. gotta love this era.

[–]cmumford 18 points19 points20 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Hmmm. I wonder if the fact that 78% of publishing is white women has anything to do with the decision to sign that book deal?

[–]unbelievablepeople 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Maybe a male comedian who got less than $9 million from Simon & Schuster should make an "equal pay" complaint.

[–]BigJ76 16 points17 points18 points 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

She thought more of her like-minded sheeple would come out in support with their wallets? ROFL

[–]bigbronze 10 points11 points12 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Actually I think it's more common that those who do support her don't actually make a good enough living to buy her books. Why are some women complaining about the "wag gap"? Cuz they picked women studies as a major and can only find jobs barely above minimum wage since they don't apply to anything.

[–]C1yde 11 points12 points13 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

As soon as I glace at a resume with Social Science or Gender Studies I start to question their critical thinking skills.

That reminds me of the Mexican kids in high school taking Spanish to get an easy A and still failing the class. Laughable.

Well, just look to comics (the pow!kersplat! kind, not the unfunny standup kind).

Geeks: "We love this and will continue paying to read it!"

Feminists: "We hate this and will never pay to read it!"

Marvel, et. all: "Oh shit, angry political thought police! Better change everything to appease them!"

Geeks: "We hate these changes and refuse to keep paying to read them."

Feminists: "Good job fixing the problematic elements. We're still not going to read them though. Lol, losers!"

[–]Lethn 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's worse than that, the feminists scream at the people who were originally buying them they're a bunch of misogynistic shitlords for not buying them even though they've been ruined then they wonder why sales are so low.

[–]irrelevant_usernam3 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This is true for a lot of things. Feminists seek out anything that's predominantly a male interest, like video games, engineering, sports, and action movies, and they decide because it's mostly men it must be bad. They force themselves in these spaces not because they want to participate, but because they want to uncover some misogynistic culture which they can blame all their problems on. The confirmation bias kicks in and they eventually write some stupid article about how the fact you can kill prostitutes in GTA is proof that video games hate women. Those articles circulate around to people who also just want to be angry about something and the readers band together to attack the game creators and try to force change to make games more "woman friendly."

What the feminists don't think of is that the only reason they rented a game or watched football or attended an engineering class in the first place was to find the sexism there. So even if there was no trace of sexism, they still wouldn't want to participate.

Yes

[–]5th_Law_of_Robotics 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

According to feminists like her no, because only men can rape. But if their logic were employed in a gender neutral way then yes. She had sex with a guy who was too drunk to consent (he passed out several times and she woke him to finish her off) while she was completely sober.

Eventually she left in disgust because he was too drunk to perform for her.

If a frat guy did to some girl what she did to that guy then went home and lauded with his buddies over this terrible lay she'd be outraged.

[–]dangrullon87 7 points8 points9 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Ironically enough the one thing feminism doesn't have is maternal instincts like care/nurturing.. More like Munchausen syndrome.

[–]EvilCam 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Feminism is selfish-ism. No responsibility to family, society, biological roles, just promote the cause, do it for women, cause then it applies to me. It's about my time, my money, my choices.

[–]Jordioa18 5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Internet trolls ain't the general population.

Amy, you're doing something wrong, clearly. But when is she ever doing something right? She's no Tieneke Schouten

[–]Xanthan81 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

She really just needs to do some research, find a successful female author, see what worked for her, then steal what she did to be successful! Easy peasy!

[–]Lumberingfeather 4 points5 points6 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

According to tonight's BBC Newsnight Schumer is the "hottest comedic property in Hollywood"...

But the BBC lives in the SJW/progressive bubble so I'm not surprised they're so out of touch.

I had no idea she wrote a book. I imagine it's more info about how much she opposes bodyshaming/thinks all men should have their foreskins cut off because she doesn't like them.

Like the new Ghostbusters, chalk this up to feminism becoming unbankable. When only eighteen percent will self identify as feminist and that number is diminishing, there is an image problem.

[–]McFeely_Smackup 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

I really liked the first season of Inside Amy Schumer, the second was kind of disappointing, but ok. The third took an ugly turn into "Feminist Humor" instead of "humor"...everything seemed targeted at an agenda of women vs men.

The 4th season I couldnt' even finish watching. It was painfully unfunny...skits went on 2-3 times longer than the joke called for. It had no sense of comedic timing, so the things that should have been funny just fell flat.

If I didn't know better I'd swear she changed the entire writing staff for the last season because the tone, direction, and attempts at humor were so strikingly different.

More than anything Amy is an extremely generic "Comedienne"...she falls back on the same, lazy tropes that too many female comedians do. "I'm such a slut", "my body is disgusting", sex, sex, sex...it's just not original

So, she's a fat conceited terrible human being who is pissed her book didn't sell. What does this have to do with male oppression? If you want to circle jerk about women you hate do it elsewhere and stop giving female supremacists ammo to use against our fight for equality. This shitposting is childish.

You don't become A Laci Green of Sarkeesifraud, you are created that way. You appear when the edifice you can no longer hide thrusts itself forward. Think of it as Mount Rushmore hidden in a junior feminists gym bag. One tantrum too far and it just is there for ever.

It is after looking at people like her does one realize how good and well rounded comedians Tina Fey/Kristen Wig/Amy Poehler are.

One dimensional comedians like her run out of steam in a few years after they hit big.
