Remembering Olivia Munn's tone-deaf jokes

I can’t believe I read the post and the comments. And I’m commenting. Ughh.

Internet fasting starting 3. 2. 1. Now.

I mean, it’s not great? It’s lazy fatphobic humor of the dime-a-dozen variety.
Should she feel bad about it? Yeah, probably.
Is this really relevant or just driving up a dogpile?

For the record, this just sounds like a really crappy way of harassing a lady because she announced her pregnancy.

Seems like a Daily Dot writer needed to fill up their word quota for a post and turn an ordinary pregnancy announcement into traffic driving click bait. “Olivia Munn pregnant? Ok, let me google her name for filler. OOh, on page 20 of the search results, an angle! I’ll try to make the old book seem relevant to the announcement.”

Sure, but I can show plenty of jokes that aren’t shaming groups of people. That’s not a requirement for humor, even if it is common.
