Alfyn: I Thought This Was supposed To Be A Romantic Moonlit Boat Ride.

Uhhhh

Bo Burnham’s new Netflix special is excellent and a really great capture of the isolation and loneliness that came out of the pandemic specifically, but also just modern life generally. But the male response to the song “White Woman’s Instagram” is proof that men have absolutely no critical thinking skills and didn’t listen to the lyrics or literally anything Bo Burnham has done his entire career, and thus cannot be trusted to be comedy or even general media consumers. I’ve seen so many comments from men about how women don’t need to be sensitive about the song because he’s just poking fun at how basic white women are on the internet and we need to remember to take a joke.

Except that’s not what the song is about, you boneheads. He’s not making fun of women, white or otherwise, dudes. He’s making fun of you and your constant need to devalue women’s interests and online personas as shallow and “basic” and using the modifier of “white” to act as a cover for your misogyny while ignoring that they’re real human beings with feelings on the other side of that screen. He literally sings about her dead mom. You think he’s making fun of a girl for posting an old photo with a caption about how much she misses her dead mom? That’s the comedy bit for you?

Once again, y’all’s English teachers failed you.
