That picture is perfectly fine unless Cosby is found guilty by a jury of his peers. Maybe the boys are just fans of his standup?

I feel a bit bad for seeing people mad at Chapo about something on Twitter and thinking "What has Felix done this time?"

hollywood is vigorously anti-weinstein all of the sudden but couldn't summon that level of vigor against cosby and his star is still out there i'm not saying it's a good take, just that's what they were going for

Bill Cosby still has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That's the joke. He's a bad person, but that hasn't gone away. I think Trump's star is still there, too.

They're mocking people who defend Confederacy/Columbus statues, which support monsters and their horrific ideologies, just like how Bill Cosby's also a monster.

Just to help with the money numbers: Their patreon has been live for over a year, but it obviously hasn't drawn 100k/month for that whole run. It also cannot predictably draw 100k/month forever. They have costs: they're incorporated, they have office space, they travel for shows and they have audio equipment they have to buy/maintain. I don't think they have server costs though. Then there are more than 3 members. Brendon, Amber, Virgil are all getting paid. I think they have an additional producer now. I'm guessing their guests are getting some money (if they're not paying Tim Faust good god). Even if you just count the 3 dry boys, Brandon, Virgil, and Amber, 100k/month is 16k/month each, which means annually 200k pre tax in New York City. We know that they do not earn that much, because of overhead. We also know the time period they earned 100k/month is not a year, nor is it long term predictable income. In short - they are making money off their podcast, as they should. But they're not each millionaires because of it.

I thought the joke was extremely obvious but I get that it's a bad look and I'll agree with the take that they should run all posts by Amber. Also Patreon must take some off the top, right?

Yeah that's really tone-deaf at best and incredibly poorly timed on top of that. ffs don't give your enemies cudgels to beat you with by doing an edgy rapist joke that can be so easily misinterpreted and taken out of context. They're smarter than this.

I genuinely don't get how you could look at that and not immediately recognize it's a joke. Like, there's really no other way to interpret it?

You know I thought the bend the knee thing was stupid and not their fault at all but you'd think it would have gotten them to check their necks in general so they wouldn't do something as poo poo-awful dumb as this Maybe podcast irony bros should just stay the gently caress away from rape jokes how about that.

I get what they were going for and that the joke is not explicitly "rape is funny" or something okay, I'm saying why would they even want to touch that subject with a ten-foot pole at this point? It's loving stupid and risky and hey look, it backfired

It's one thing to think the joke is bad and should not be done because it might bother people or whatever. I think that's ok. But neither the Chapo people nor anyone else should be worried about 'giving their enemies ammo' by 'doing things that might be misinterpreted'. People who are going to argue against you in bad faith all the time are going to do it no matter what and the only way you can fight against that is by not giving a poo poo.

The difference is that all those men are in prison. Cosby and Ratner aren't and continue to torment their victims to this day. I do get it, it's wacky and amusing that Cosby and Ratner have Hollywood stars when they shouldn't, but I disagree. It's neither wacky nor amusing, it's just sad. The joke just isn't very funny, especially right now. I think that getting yelled at online is probably the most that will, or should, happen to them and it's not worth complaining about.

I mean you're never gonna change the minds of the Joy Ann Reids or Peter Daous of the world but I think where stuff like this hurts is it's just enough to scare off people who would otherwise be interested in getting into leftist politics. Like it or not, they're one of the most visible faces of the left right now, and I think some people that are more mainstream democrat in their beliefs could see something like this and be like "ew, I think I'm fine right here" instead of inquiring further. I do get the joke they were going for but it was tasteless and very ill-timed and apologizing and trying to make good is the right move. Frankly, I can't blame anyone for whom this is the last straw with them.
