Why are people mad about Hillbilly Elegy, again? Seems like the more appropriate response is uh... sad.
Still watching but the one part I’ve found kind of ridiculous so far is when JD says something like, “We don’t say ‘redneck.’” The only people I’ve ever heard object to that term are Seattle liberals.
I guess it’s derogatory but in the part of Appalachia I’m from it always seemed more of a descriptor than a slur and plenty of rednecks proudly called themselves rednecks
Also Glenn Close is an amazing shapeshifter and some of the writing is legit funny
Trying to imagine the rednecks I grew up with getting offended over a term like that and bwahahbhahhahahjhahahhah
A significant portion of my elementary school had never left the county. Bigger problems, folx!
