100% this. My insta feed had this mommy vlogger in it that I thought was hysterical, until I realized that she isn't actually a comedian and was completely serious. No vaccines, unschooling (??), telling other parents kids that their parents are terrible for giving them poison, etc, etc. Complete caricature of themselves.

It is but check the article, I only quoted a small part and they go through other types of dummy accounts and find for most all of them the amount of Rwing media served outpaces Lwing even for accounts that browse Lwing sources primarily.

I don't disagree with the findings I just think that online mommy vloggers is probably like, one of the least convincing demographics to try to illustrate that point with.

The Kendrick Lamar / Drake beef had been mutually paused for a while. Turns out that was because Kendrick Lamar was basically making peace between all of LA to unite in calling Drake a pedophile live on Amazon Prime, roughly four times.

quote:

A crowd of 17,000 that included The Weeknd, LeBron James, Ayo Edebiri and Rick Ross rapped along to every word of the biting-but-jubilant DJ Mustard production, which Lamar restarted twice after the first verse and performed four times in full.

Shuffling, frolicking, dancing and spinning around him as Lamar strode the stage in a red hoodie: NBA stars Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan, Mustard, rapper Roddy Ricch and even a teenage dance troupe led by the krumping innovator Tommy the Clown.

Lamar reveled in the moment: “Y’all ain’t gon’ let nobody disrespect the West Coast. Y’all ain’t gon’ let nobody imitate our legends, huh,” he said, referring to Drake’s use of an AI tool to mimic 2Pac’s voice on one of his diss records.

I'm really curious about this as well. I heard some reference to him liking teen girls, but haven't seen any "proof". To be fair, I'm not very invested in the whole thing, but it is amusing how it keeps working its way into my feeds.

The past several years, starting with Apartheid Clyde's cave submarine debacle, have made me leery of anyone with a personal beef making the accusation of pedophilia. I'm at the point now where it's been made enough by some real poo poo heels with projection issues that I ignore it until proof is given.

It’s easy to find out info on how much drake hung out with the underage girl from Stranger Things.

A lot.

Drake was 'friends' with Millie Bobbie Brown, who said that they regularly texted. There have also been a bunch of unconfirmed reports from him talking to underage fans.

I totally agree with the be careful of the accusation- I always try to see who is saying it, and the context.

Part of the problem is that the Right have corrupted and commodified the fear and hatred of pedophilia to the point that if you say anything that isn't in total agreement with their beliefs, you are obviously Jared from Subway.

In honor of this thread's favorite argument topic (fast food):

I happened to be way out in the burbs over the weekend and found myself across the street from In-N-Out. I decided to try it and I do not get the hype.

Sure, it was pretty good and a few bucks cheaper than McD's, but it didn't rock my world or anything. I'd pick it over Whataburger if it was next door (although the lack of Coke Zero may render it DOA for my wife), but I wouldn't drive an extra 10 minutes to get to one either. At least Shake Shack has an interesting menu (and Coke Zero).

In summary, Shake Shack > In-N-Out.

Bro I’m not touching that part of the internet on my cell phone or here at work lol.

I’m a big wuss who doesn’t want to lose his job or have Google thinking I’m seriously invested in who is or isn’t a pedo. That gets you seriously weird YouTube videos thanks to the algorithm, I’m sure.

What you say is creepy as gently caress. Why would a grown rear end man have a minor as a texting buddy? That’s straight up not cool. May not be illegal but gently caress that guy.

He was also a producer on the show Euphoria. If you guys haven’t watched it, it’ll definitely have you thinking maybe drake is a pedo.

The music in that show slaps tho, and it’s a fun watch for a show your partner forces you to watch if that makes sense.

I’m gonna bang the gavel here and say Drake is definitely a groomer, and has definitely had an argument with someone about the differences between Pedophilia and Ephebophilia.

Pending further evidence, I think we would be wise to just treat him as a pedo. Because, you see, the difference between a groomer and a pedophile is the same as Pedophilia and Ephebophilia

(:ssh: There is no difference, it’s just pedophilia with a scooby doo monster mask on :ssh:)

When it comes to the regional chains that are better than McDonald's and Burger King, I'm pretty sure the best one is whatever you grew up with, as it likely shaped your perception of what that food is supposed to be like. I had the same reaction to In-N-Out, Five Guys, Whataburger, Chick-fil-A, etc. The hype really only comes from people who grew up on it.

Most people that want to nitpick the differences generally belong to one of those two groups. But regardless of which group one belongs to, in the end, they're still attracted to minors. And that's why most people that don't belong to either group don't think it's important to know the difference. Because it doesn't matter.
