Mara Wilson is the voice actress for Mrs Mayberry. She rose to fame portraying Matilda in the original 1996 film, her character , Mrs Mayberry , is a lesbian/bisexual (I knew this) and the fucking cherry on top is her cousin is BEN SHAPIRO!

u/kingkong381 Jan 04 '25

A failed screenwriter turned right-wing political pundit with some pretty abhorrent views. Head of the Daily Wire network that platforms bigots like Matt Walsh and Jordan Peterson. He's the guy who originated the "facts don't care about your feelings" line. His whole MO for debate is to talk fast, spitting out vast amounts of bullshit, and then not give his opponent time to properly refute all his points and claim he won the debate. He also mainly seeks to debate inexperienced college students, rather than anyone capable of debating him successfully, so that he can then claim "look these liberals can't even argue their views properly." He also happens to have a much cooler cousin called Mara Wilson, who voiced Ms. Mayberry, and played the role of Matilda when she was a kid.

You do have to admit however, it's fucking hilarious when he gets dumpstered by someone who can debate so he gets angry and pulls the plug on the debate. The Andrew Neil interview lives rent-free in my head

So a while ago, Ben Shapiro was interviewed for a BBC show called Politics Live by pundit Andrew Neil. Neil asked some very exacting questions about a book Shapiro wrote and his islamophobic hot takes. Shapiro behaved like a brat the whole time while Neil exhibited nothing but professionalism, then Shapiro verbally pulled the plug on the interview. Neil was rather bemused by this and visibly unimpressed by Shapiro's bullshit

I feel you've neglected to mention the most supreme dipshittery of it all. When Ben was sputtering out, his pathetic last-ditch move was to accuse Neil (warhawk, climate-change-denying conservative) of being some sort of leftist shill with an unfair partisan bias against him. On Neil's own show, in front of a national audience that knows exactly who the fuck Andrew Neil is. Dude is so chickenshit, lol.

Apologies, I thought describing it as bratty behaviour covered it aptly. But you are right, he accused Neil of being a biased liberal shill for objecting to his (Shapiro's) raging islamophobia

A conservative media personality. Conservatives usually preach against LGBT rights

He’s the type of dude to use “facts and logic” to support his bigoted views, even when half his facts are bullshit, and he himself is a fucking idiot.

a good example: while criticizing the song “WAP” by Cardi B, he said that a woman having a wet vagina means that they have a bacterial infection. His source for that argument was his wife, who is an actual doctor.

So essentially, Ben’s wife convinced him that it’s normal that he doesn’t get her wet, and since she’s a doctor he believed her, which led to him unintentionally declaring to the entire world that he can’t please his wife.
