Michael Che sharing that rape joke about Simon Biles reminds me of this:
Rape jokes are often used to "put a woman in her place"https://t.co/OZEM37pByM pic.twitter.com/Ainqts9nqC

"Michael Che using Simone Biles' trauma as a punchline when she's one of the gymnasts who was sexually abused by Larry Nassar is the most repulsive attempt at humor by any mainstream comedian," someone else said.
"michael che? being a f—ing loser? i am so shocked and appalled," one person quipped.

So is SNL gonna do something about Michael Che or what? I don't think this is something that can just be ignored. This is disturbing and wrong.

"Yes [Saturday Night Live] is on hiatus, but doesn't Michael Che have an @HBO deal too? It'd be a great time to act on all the big talk of listening to Black women, and drop that talent-free wastrel who constantly maligns us. We have receipts for years but this latest stunt is inexcusable," someone else said.

How nice for Michael Che never to have been denied the sanctity of his own body because of his gender.
How nice for him not to be judged and gaslit repeatedly because it is routine to treat an entire gender and their experiences with disregard and contempt.
How lovely for him.

"Michael Che comes for people he thinks he can get away with dunking on. Trans women, Black women, sexual assault survivors. Judging by his flimsy 'I got hacked' defense, it seems he had no idea how beloved Simone Biles is, or just how messed up it is to share a Larry Nasser joke," one user wrote.
