All I could think reading those exile excerpts was how lame 90s/early 2000s troll/shock jock poo poo is in retrospect. Buncha white boys with bad hair and faces that look like hobbit feet fronting like they're tough sex having high school bullies who just happen to own a thesaurus.

Yeah, I remember tucker max/maddox/whatever the gently caress being cool and edgy back when I was an idiot teenager. But now if you look back on all that poo poo you kind of just cringe and go "I thought this was funny? Am I actually retarded just like my parents always said I was? Is this why I was in the special classes???"

"You're always trying to force Masha and Sveta under the table to give you blow jobs. It's not funny. They don't think it's funny," Kara complained. "But... it is funny," Matt said. We have been pretty rough on our girls. We’d ask our Russian staff to flash their asses or breasts for us. We’d tell them that if they wanted to keep their jobs, they’d have to perform unprotected anal sex with us. Nearly every day, we asked our female staff if they approved of anal sex. That was a fixation of ours. “Can I gently caress you in the rear end? Huh? I mean, without a rubber? Is that okay?” It was all part of the fun."

Well at least they're reporting on cases of harassment!

I read some of the exile, but I don't remember any stuff like that. They probably are bad people, but I don't think being a bad person is a necessary pre-condition for writing in an honest manner. Then again so much of this stuff gets covered with lies so who knows.

its called satire and i'd rather a thousand years of uninterrupted this than a single afternoon of "with conflict raging across yemen, more women are joining their husbands as breadwinners as people find it harder to provide for their families" journalism, which i call HERnalism.

yeah. when their pua tactics didn't work they decided it was because women had already been programmed to only be atracted to ethnic minorities by hollywood (((globalists))) so they all became anime frog nazis in the crusade against white genocide

It's almost like the current social moment is giving a lot of people who are already prone to low self-esteem and self-hatred a convenient explanation and outlet for their negative feelings

I'm seeing so many talented and genuinely good guys fall down this hole of "oh god I'm so full of SIN" based on their in-born traits and completely normal interactions with other people, and instead of saying "hey man, you really don't need to do this, you're doing relatively okay," people either call them brave for being so open about their privileges or go after them for not being contrite enough, which just contributes to that cycle

Like Dan Harmon is going to be dead within 10 years because it's obvious that he's using social justice and his own original sin of privilege as a framework to explain why he still hates being alive despite being rich and creatively respected

Being in a band and having sex with fans isn’t inherently coercive.

More than that, he was in a relationship serious enough to involve meeting parents and discussing moving in together so it’s not like his inherent power of... playing music tarnished the whole thing.

a) Who the gently caress is Matt Tabi?
b) Asking whether you would enjoy being hosed in the rear end is a pretty common gopnik-style joke.

conclusion: author of the article knows jack all about russian culture or values, the loving racist.
