So you're saying there's a chance

Why the hell would you link to TikTok. I'm glad I read the URL first cause I almost clicked on it.

It's okay to not like tiktok, but can you try to be a little nicer when sharing your opinion of it?

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I think they were quite calm. Tiktok is cancer. And I'm not talking about the content.

I usually stay away from this kind of response but it seemed like the initial comment was needlessly aggressive to me.

[–] Gaywallet@beehaw.org 11 points 2 years ago

It's not about calm, I can be calm and be a dick. It's about being nice. I mod flagged the reply because the user is not from around here and may not have bothered to read our single rule, which is to be nice. This reminder applies to you as well now. Be nice around here.

Probably because it is the primary source for this story; it is literally Wayne's personal account.

I'm sure you can find a TMZ article if that's more your style.

This isn’t Twitter. With all respect, you need to bee-have better.

I was introduced to Wayne Brady through Chappelle's Show :) I like his coming out, and the thoughtful message he gave. As a wealthy, middle-aged Black celebrity and comic, I think he may be quite influential in opening others' minds and hearts. Also, I'm glad there's a text summary here, because I'd never visit TT

Who?

[–] thismessisaplace@beehaw.org 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?

[–] Nechesh@beehaw.org 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you for the reminder of that amazing skit! I may have to rewatch it!

I would recommend watching Whose Line Is It Anyway from the era where he was a performer. Timeless, classic comedy.

I love everyone's husband Wayne Brady!
