ah what a great time to pour some covfefe in my "#1 chapo ally respecter" mug and check a friendly greywolf forum

I don't get how that photo is more offensive than all the Fogle, Epstein, pizzagate jokes they make on the show
pizzagate is not real, fogle is way too absurd/pathetic and did not manage to gently caress any kids, epstein jokes are mostly very hard winking;
not to mention that verbal jokes are different from baked alaska level cringe stunts

"lol rape" is more of a cum town brand than chapo imo

If you haven't read "The Boys On The Bus", you should check it out. It's another guy from Rolling Stone covering the press on the campaign trail in 1972, including HST. Very good stuff.

It's really rather depressing, but unfortunately everything sucks.

I'm kinda wrestling with this a bit because literally everything I like has been called unmitigated poo poo by people I respect. My solution is to just reflect on whether it does suck, then move on.

There was a blog or something that had an article titled "Admit it; your fave is problematic". Not only is it okay to like things that aren't perfect, it's almost impossible not to. Not everybody you like is going to like the same things as you, and that's okay. :sympathy:

Read the reddit threads linked here if you think the backlash is disproportionate. In it, people accuse them of bad opinions because "the episodes have edits, which means they must have said really offensive things". Someone calls elevator jokes an 'ableist dogwhistle'. Someone complains about them fat-shaming Steven Seagal.

The reason some of the criticism they got from the left wasn't so bad is because the people criticizing them are their friends or acquaintances, real-life or online. That's not great. It means people are only willing to give you the benefit of the doubt about something minor because they know you, and less likely to do so otherwise.


There is such a thing as 'being too sensitive' in the context of a group. Especially in the context we're discussing this, which is "way after it happened, after the post had been taken down and people had apologized".

I mean, look at your own post. "Hopefully people will forgive them for something lovely but minor". Why didn't you write "people should forgive them for something lovely but minor"? Why can you judge the severity of the injury (it's minor) but not judge what the appropriate reaction should be? It should be obvious that no group or community could ever function properly if letting go of minor things wasn't an imperative.


Here is the thing, the hug box is real and commenting to the hug box is pointless, they are going to live lovely lives where innocuous things bother them. Just concentrate on loving too much an relegating the subhumans to their subcultures.

An ironic thumbs up at hollywood's cosby plate causes them to get upset; these are crazy people.

Technology lets us hear their madness but they are amusing and rare, pretending this was a politik misstep is mistaken.

Referencially directing someone's attention to this event will cause any normal person to be like 'huh, okay'.

We have people so dedicated to hedonism (wanting group to person communication to always yield neutral to pleasure) that this consumes their voice, just bask in what much of America's center-left/woke-signalers has become an chive on.

there's also "Up Simba" by David Foster Wallace, more good campaign trail writing by a guy with bad fans. It's about the 2000 John McCain campaign.

You realize you're saying that hedonists are bad and that we should engage in hedonism in response, right?

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you, your ideological framing is just blatantly self-contradictory.

Id start w their post election episode and go forward til you’re caught up and then start from 1 and go til you’re caught up to the election. They’re all funny and it’s really funny to listen to the AKAs grow as time goes on.

Edit: I’d love if the Weinstein thing blew up so that we could finally get across that millionaires and billionaires aren’t your friend, and that we should distrust anyone with that kind of capital and power.
