I caught this the other day. I haven't seen Kumail do much outside Silicon Valley so I found this to be pretty entertaining, he is a pretty funny dude.

One of my students this semester looks EXACTLY like Bighead. It freaks me out everytime I look at him.

Love this show but I've been very turned off by the extreme liberal pussy shit from the cast.

I agree, but they're acting in the show. I doubt any politic shit will find its way into the mix. But we always have the first few episodes to see for our selves.

Middleditch was also a bomb at Blizzcon but that doesn't really affect my opinion on this show

Unfortunately I'm now blocked so can't post the conversation but a simple "Silicon Valley is great, isn't it" status turned into an SJW crying about diversity then saying something racist herself before blocking me.

First she described it as "another white boy comedy". The presence of Dinesh was pointed out, she then claimed he was the target of "all the jokes"

It was pointed out that Jared and perhaps Richard are the target of more jokes, that all the main cast are portrayed as geeks and lacking in social skills, and that the show is mocking the culture of "Silicon Valley" in general.

She claimed she wasn't just talking about race but gender - cue us pointing out Monica and Laurie bream - two high ranking female execs.

She then started going on about diversity in the the writing team and Hollywood in general.

But what really made it beautiful was her suggestion that only white people can enjoy the show


What made it funnier is that a Sunday Times film critic was only this AM getting criticised for suggesting only white people will go to see Moonlight
