people forget why Lowtax chose this pseudonym, it was to mock this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Looper I suspect Tumblr guy googled, is so offline he got that wiki page, and then scrolled down to cause of death Goa Tse-tung has a new favorite as of 07:20 on Feb 24, 2024 |

If you say something is parody you get to feel smart as you are in on the joke and others aren’t. Whether it’s actually a joke doesn’t matter you get what you need either way

It's been a long time since I've seen it (like literally two decades lol) but I remember Jackass at least inflicted most of their poo poo on themselves in relative privacy? The stuff they did in public was dumb and silly but not gross and/or dangerous, iirc.

Yeah, they always seemed like good people to me mostly. Idiots for sure, but careful not to include people that didn't want to be included. I didn't like the show all that much, even as a teen, and while it might've been a precursor to all the heinous prank poo poo social media is filled with I feel it's wrong to blame them for that development and judge them in the same way.

Jackass was only funny when people were doing stupid poo poo like riding grocery carts down a steep hill and crashing into a tree but everything they did in public for shock value was intensely cringe and embarrassing. It doesn't matter that they never did bomb threats because the whole point was to mess with other people's emotions and get "funny" reactions. Whether they like it or not they are to blame for people like this guy existing

Yes, an idiot has been arrested for completely deserved reasons, but have you considered that in order to be a leftist you must scream "ACAB" every time police are vaguely mentioned in any context? That's what's really important here.

Flesh Forge posted:while he may not actually be the real lectern guy, and yeah maybe that's a gimmick account, he is definitely not parodying anything Its been a while since I've seen Starship Troopers, but I think it would be mostly indistinguishable from a wide swath of 80s/90s scifi-action movies if it didn't have the "would you like to know more?" bits. Those movies were often over the top and had comedic bits with probably as equally trenchant political commentary as Starship Troopers did. However for whatever reason we don't have interminable discussions about if "The Running Man", "Die Hard", "Alien", or "Commando" are satirical films.

also alien and die hard aren't satirical at all. commando is kind of goofy in retrospect but it wasn't made as a satire -- more of an action-comedy. the running man is the only truly intentionally satirical movie there.
