She just acts like she doesn't care. About anything. Kind of abrasive.

But sometimes none of the above.

It bugs you that she's confident even though you think she's not pretty? Meh, I think she's cute, but I'd hope she'd be confident in herself either way.

Amy Schumer.... doesn't ring a bell. For a second I was upset bc I thought you meant Amy Poehler.

I had no idea who she was until the whole Trump-mask thing, and tbh her response to it didn't impress me.

That was her, right?

Ediy: No, that was Kathy Griffin. I guess I still have no idea who she is.

Posts like this are how I know the hate against her isn't purely because she's a shitty comedian

I think shes ok.
Some of her stuff isn't funny some is, same as every other comedian.

I don't know why looks would come into the equation at all, it seems a strange way to judge your comedians to me.

I think some people hate her because she's popular and they can't stand a woman being popular. A TON of female comedians get it, and it's bullshit.

That said, Amy Schumer is insanely obnoxious. As a comedian, she lacks the subtlety that I enjoy. Comedians who don't have that can make up for it with cleverness or sarcasm, but she does neither. Her shtick is to just throw it all out there and see what gets a laugh. I'm not into her. Can't say I hate her. The only female comedian I dislike enough to border on hate is Sarah Silverman (dodges projectiles). Tibs is a fan. I want her to shut up forever.

I think he may have been referring more to her general attitude, than her looks in and of themselves. That's what I took from the comment anyway.

Yessss thank you! Super obnoxious. It's just not funny to me, and it's annoying.

Somebody actually understands. 

I'm a fan of Tig Notaro, and she's not exactly catwalking.

I know the name, but I don't really follow comedians too closely. I guess that means I can't hate her either.

I fucking love Tig. Did you watch her Netflix show? Not the documentary, but the show? I can't remember the name of it, but it was hilarious.
