Joe Rogan can fuck right off for all the reasons. But first let’s jam some dirty gym socks in his mouth to shut him the fuck up.
Are you sure that weirdo won’t get off on that?
Roughly quoting Jay Mohr from his recent interview on Bobby Lee’s Tigerbelly podcast:
"How Joe Rogan became the arbiter of what is funny is beyond me… all the times Joe Rogan has made us laugh… "
Joe Rogan has gotta be one of the least funny “comedians” in the game at the moment. I wish his relevancy would’ve peaked with Fear Factor.
What’s funny is that I genuinely didn’t know he was a comedian until reading your post. I always knew him as some Alex Jones tier Podcaster.
Don’t give this guy space Lemmy wtf.
I don’t really hear about Rogan very often any more. Thank Buddha. But it blows my mind that he’s still super popular. The average person sucks.
I only really knew one of his stand up routines and thought it was alright for what it was. I learned about his podcast and that it was supposedly good, but i had no way of listening to it. Then it was on Spotify and i listened to the bob lazar episode and ho-ly, no idea how he ever got popular AT ALL. I have more understanding for people who listen to Ben Shapiro
Rogan’s entire career was predicated on the normalisation of reactionary right-wing beliefs/prejudices. He was the motte to the bailey of the Thiels and Bannons, easing perfectly normal dudes along the path, one casual joke at the expense of minorities at a time. And for a while it worked, to the point where Spotify bet the company on him. And then, the word “weird” entered the discourse, and people realised that casual cruelty and obsessing about strangers’ genitals weren’t the time-honoured values of a silent majority.
It would suck to be holding Spotify shares right now.
They gave him another stand up special? I haven’t seen the new one but his old standup is awful. Seriously some of the most unfunny shit ever from an established television personality.
We don’t need to care about him. Bad comedians with shitty world views are a dime a dozen. He’s famous because he communicates well and not because his ideas are worth attention or respect.
It’s so crazy how this show is basically the exact same shit the exact same type of guy would have done 10, 20, 30 years ago with the exact same jokes. The only difference is the post-covid brainworms and the context of the transphobia being presented as a losing ideology. Kinda mindblowing that this dude is a couple years from AARP eligibility and still talking like he’s in middle school. That sucks.
Just an FYI, there is no age floor for AARP.
Every time you read the next part of his “act” you think you can’t roll your eyes any harder, but then you can
I noticed him on my Netflix just now.
Thumbs downed the lot on principle. I ain’t watching that shit.
Fuck Netflix. Stop subscribing to this shitty service, everyone.
Arrrr
It’s not odd or weird to be obsessed with gay sex. 🙃
It’s not a weird competition!
Everyone can be weird in their own way… just some should never be in charge of anything ever…
Using “weird” about a comedian actually risks the whole gambit IMO. You start calling everyone weird, maybe it’s just you who is the unusual person calling everyone who disagrees with you weird.
The whole point of the attack is that the weird people are not acceptable elected officials. Keep it to people who are trying to get elected.
Imo it isn’t great anyway. I’m fucking weird, and I’ve been working my whole life to turn “weird” into a good thing rather than something for 90s bullies to use to call you retarded (along with retarded itself). In 6mo “weird” is going to be synonymous with “nazi.” Austin TX is gonna have to change their slogan lol.
…is he closeted gay? Gays who know about closeted gays, please enlighten me.
People who spend time thinking about other people’s sexualities are thinking about it for some reason. Like, who does that?
Would it matter if he was?
I hope he jumps off a cliff
I got banned for saying we should shoot paedophiles the reason given was “advocating for violence”. Why are u allowed to say this about joe rogan but i can’t advocate for shooting pedos can someone make this make sence.
I hope he does something Vs I think we should do something
It’s a pretty straight forward distinction if you understand words
It’s a pretty straight forward distinction if you understand words
Fuck me that is brutal. 🤣 I think you need to be imprisoned for murder.
So u can advocate for someone to commit violence upon themselves but not commit violence upon others?
Its a lot less strait forward if you think through the implications of what the words mean.
Did a kangaroo kick you in the head, or were you born this stupid?
I think the distinction is hoping someone will do something vs saying we should do something. That’s the “advocating” part. Nobody can say that a comment hoping Rogan would jump off a cliff had anything to do with it if it actually happens somehow.
I don’t think either is acceptable frankly but my guess is this is a passive statement “I hope they do x”. Yours is advocating for direct violence “we should shoot/kill x”. Both are shitty and should be avoided imo but one is a call to action.
You know who always gets caught with kiddie porn on their computers? People like you who constantly want draconic punishments for those they cannot even differentiate from actual child rapists. So, what are you hiding?
I’ll bite on ur obviously rage bait lose lose cenario.
Explain to me what people deserve the death penalty or do think it should be abolished?
What in the hell about my comment is rage bait? lol Over the years we’ve had countless of news articles about priests, pedo hunters and other highly “outspoken” individuals getting caught with child pornography or a history of raping children. It’s always the same pattern.
Death penalty = barbarism. Murder is only okay if there’s no other option, like a trapped you vs me scenario, or a violent dictator like Hitler who can’t be removed through other means, etc. And I already live in a civilized country so it already is abolished.
I don’t think there’s an ethical basis for capital punishment, except under some extreme circumstance (like having intel that a militant force will raid a prison to rescue a high ranking war criminal).
There are multiple reasons:
-
Surprisingly, capital punishment is expensive. So expensive in fact, that it’s cheaper to keep them in prison for their entire life, multiple times over.
-
The capacity for someone to suffer ends when they die. If you believe in punishment (I don’t, but you do you), then it makes sense to prolong their suffering as long as possible.
-
Capital punishment doesn’t dissuade criminals. Countries with capital punishment have just as many criminals as those without.
-
Punishment is a shitty metric by all accounts. Harm mitigation is the aim of the game, whether you’re talking about prison or execution, they’re both isolating a person from the broader community. If the prison serves the same purpose, why do we need execution?
-
It’s unrealistic to employ capital punishment where there isn’t any. Anyone who deserves to be executed would not be released from prison. You’ve got a better chance of convincing people to prolong prison punishments than you do of instating legal murder.
-
Innocent people are wrongfully convinced every day. Many people have been executed, only to be found innocent some years later.
-
What the other poster was getting at, which I was going to bring up is they said there’s a difference between a paedophile and a child molester.
A child molester is a criminal, a paedophile is not.
Don’t get the wrong idea, this isn’t a defence of paedophiles, but defence of a demographic of people who haven’t done anything wrong.
Much of the reason paedophiles dont seek help is because of the mindset displayed here.
A paedophile who commits themselves to never touching a child is nothing short of a hero in my opinion.
Pretty low bar too 🤣
