I had forgotten to unsubscribe. I've done that now. If you didn't take the time to read the comment to the prior video, here it is again. It would be great if you would take a moment to answer it.

Someone I care about told me about this channel. He shared a video that I thought was funny and on the strength of that I subscribed. I watched a few more and enjoyed your sense of humor and approach. I understood why he'd recommended the channel, you have a wry wit and critical eye that I appreciate.
Then I watched a recent video that was promising because of the topic, superhero movies are often style over substance, glossing over plot holes and other issues with name recognition and momentum. I was looking forward to your take on it.
You said something in that video that gave me pause. You were making a comparison and by way of illustration said, "it's like someone saying Madonna looks a bit different these days." Madonna had nothing to do with the movie you were reviewing, you pulled her into it in order to make a joke about her appearance.
I'm trying to understand why you would do that. You showed a photo of Madonna from 30 years ago and a more current one. She looked good then and she looks good now. Using a snide tone, the entirety of your joke was mocking a woman who had the temerity to age. She allowed herself to get older instead of conveniently kicking the bucket.
Then in the short video about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock you spent considerable time making fun of Amy Schumer. Like Madonna, Schumer had exactly zero to do with the topic of the video but you took the time to make a joke with her as the butt of it, complete with a tortured scream. You dragged her in by analogy just as you did with Madonna in the prior video. You don't think that she's very funny and her appearance in your view is worthy of mockery. You think that's funny and you believe your audience will laugh with you because you enjoy laughing at women and I guess you think your audience does too.
I am going to unsubscribe now because you seem to be a shit and you don't get my subscription. One incidence of ugly (dumb) sexist humor can perhaps be overlooked. Two in a row, no. I had written part of this comment intending to post it to the prior video but I didn't, thinking I would wait and see. Then I watched another and it stood out. It's unfortunate because you're funny and you don't need to take ugly potshots at women to earn an audience. In this case, it cost you one.
