Comment on Hasan Minhaj’s “Emotional Truths”

Having read some of the specific stories he’s exaggerated; I feel I can empathize with some of them. For example he talks about how he felt when he was receiving death threats, and constructed a story that would be indicative of that feeling. however, in other stories he exaggerated events involving real people (his prospective date to the prom, for one) that his fans have identified and subsequently harassed.

celebrities have to be cognizant of this brigading effect they tend to have, even if they don’t condone it, and it seems like Hasan has no remorse for the ways his exaggerations have hurt the real people involved in his stories.
