Vir Das Trolled - Page 5

I've watched several of his videos where he attacks concepts rather than a group of people and found them really thoughtful. But picking on a national group before outsiders for the sake of his career is a bit low. How is it different from Slumdog's poverty p*rn? Yeah, it exists, but was it okay to use it in such a self-serving way?

If you notice, I mentioned the social media trolls who're actually denying these problems exist. They're basically proving Vir Das's point (he mentions possible reaction to the segment) AND giving him publicity.

He's in good company, though. Watch the Oscars. Hypocrites, the whole lot. Acting so woke for acceptance and opportunities but will be on the phone with their agents in a nanosecond if China offered cash to make a film using Uyghur slave labor.

Not that the non-celeb types are much diff. They will say anything for kudos from the wokeratti on social media, but try suggesting they abandon some of the advantages of living in a free society if they so loathe it. Or giving up some of their own comfort (read: pay more taxes) to bring about the changes they demand instead of demanding other people (read: the middle class) do it. 😆

At the end of the day he is just a comedian trying to make his ends meet while also trying to make a difference. This is way better than the cheap bathroom humor or the beaten to death wife-husband jokes.BTW, the entire audience is Indian/Desi though, if that makes people feel better. So what I am saying is that there is nothing to call him out because he went there as a stand up comedian who is known for his satire.

I agree with your rest of the post (this and the previous one). I was just reiterating whatever you said.

Tbh it is Kangana who learned from them, and hogged all the limelight😆. Hence they are desperate to get back into the limelight.

Vir Das tbh has never been a lime light hogging one, I don't think his intentions were wrong, but it doesn't matter now anyways. If his intentions were wrong he would have never given any clarification.

But don't you think it is quite silly how these things are going right now? Like why anyone opposing Vir Das is seen generally as a right wing person? I mean why every Indian who doesn't like people criticising Indian society in front of the world is seen as right wing😆. Okay imagine if Vir Das's speech would have left out Modi and PM Cares, and also added problems like forced conversions by Christains missionary of tribes, treatment of Muslim women, comedians being harassed for making jokes on topics other than right wing cries for and so on. Would he have gotten the same level of praise?

I just wonder, and thank it is him talking about Modi and PM Cares which is the actually triggering the right wing and also left wing supporting him. If we flip that, it would be completely different scenarios.

And no I am not denying that some people are genuinely upset with his statement regardless of them supporting BJP or not. Because not everyone likes these type of things and take things generally. So they will be upset.

Anyways who cares, Vir Das has finally gotten a well deserved attention😆 and publicity. IMO he is a good comedian and deserves more views and publicity than pathetic politically motived, Kunal "oh don't punch down on marginalized, only insult Uppercaste Hindus" Kamras and his ilk.

I don't care for the left or right wing thing. But what genuinely upsets me is the way some people are using our country,our culture for their selfish purpose. I don't care about Kangana as her statements are utter bullshit. But what about these bunches who on every given occassions make fun of their homeland?

Don't you think it has become a trend for few woke Indians to make fun of our culture and rituals and our govt,? Just for the thirst of few likes and claps they don't feel any shame to downgrade their own culture.

Can they do the same to other communities?

Why always talk about Modi or PM care? Why not other problems for a change? Ofcourse that won't get him few moments of recognition he is getting now. What he wanted has achieved. Trending on Twitter now.

I never knew who this Veer Das is. And I am sure others like me do exist. Now we too are talking about him. He got what he wanted.

There, that’s the point! ‘You’ are the one who is helping him trend on the twitter btw because 'you’ didn’t like him talking about the shri shri shri Modi or his PM chor, er Care! . ;)

@Blue: If you paid attention, he talked about the other problems also. He even talked about Rahul Gandhi and his mom. ;)

Where can I watch his monologue?

You don't have problem with this shitty govt but have problems with Comedians making fun of it ?

PMcares isn't PM's personal fund

When I was in USA, an Indian lady there gave me gyaan how I should be loyal to USA because I was working there when I was buying a Japanese car instead of an American. I agreed with her and dropped the plan… and then one day I heard her badmouthing India… 🥱

I wonder why some people don’t feel the same loyalty towards their birth country? Why demean the country at every opportunity?

There is nothing wrong in poem he recited. I stand with Vir on this one. He is trolled because he told the truth. He is trolled because he does not lick boots of BJP. Every word he spoke was true. And he openly spoke about politician who mowed down farmers under his car or those who take out rallies to support rapists of minors.

Ranting against him or trying to gag media, social media, banning poems, movies, documentaries will not hide truth.

More power to Vir Das. Art is meant to show mirror to society. He did what an artist is supposed to do.

To hell with IT cell trolls and paid media or those pseudo nationalists who want to hide truth.
