ok rant time

one of my BIGGEST fucking pet peeves is when someone (an actor/musician/comedian/whoever) has a style that is clearly influenced by another popular entertainer of some kind and instead of being like 'oh it's cool they're clearly inspired by this person' people IMMEDIATELY start bashing them with being like 'oh you will NEVER be as good as that person' or 'oh they wanna be this person SO bad' like SHUT the FUCK up fr lol

#reading reviews on letterboxd for dan's show is making me wanna punch smth honestly #'oh HE's trYINg to bE bo BUrnAMH' like ??? who CARES lol?? shut up #for one do u think bo (who i literally kno nothing about btw pfft lilke rly he's not as big as u think he is babe) invented that style #of comedy? or even james acaster (someone else they're comparing him to) like ????#u know there's a whole history of comedy that every comedian is inspired by??#and like it's not that i dont think people can critique him or his show like ok so u found it cringe? cool? do u want a medal lol?#but the way that most of the critical stuff is comparing him to other comedians is kinda pathetic lol #also cant help but feel like there's smth really shit about comparing an openly gay guy to a bunch of straight blokes AND #trying to claim he's copying said straight guys cos straight guys are the pinnacle of comedic geniuses huh? hmmm #idk i'm rambling #this just frustrated me lol #personal #to me it is just an incredibly pathetic way to undermine someone's achievements lol #also this isnt just about dan lol.... ive seen this used for many other artists/musicians/comedians/etc and it's ANNOYING every single time #rant
