I checked that dumb Ghostbusters comment on the new episode to see where it went and whoever was saying it was obviously a joke is either wrong or it's an insanely elaborate joke, because the dude is just doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on it.

I didn't say that it was a joke, I said that he was using sarcasm. Posters in this thread somehow couldn't grasp that a person could both be a shithead and type "heh" ironically.

I think it's useless to try and follow that person's reasoning. They're either mentally ill or using several layers of sarcasm to completely obfuscate any meaning. Their first post is the only one whose message sort of gets across, and that message is "Look at me, everyone, I'm dumb as poo poo"

"The REAL scary thing about this trailer isn't the ghosts... It's the amount of women's rights they try to implement into it. Feminism is a joke."

Valid satirizing of Hilary Clinton's identity politics usage to further her neo-liberal and neo-conservative policies. I'm sure when she topples another foreign government and allows radical Sunnis to take over she'll justify it by calling them misogynists and pointing out how radical she is for being the first woman president.

Anyone who doesn't click the link to that "clinical trial" is seriously missing out.

After 30 days had passed, subject's parents visited Dr. T. to report the progress with their son. The following are their own words about the results of using this set of programs:

"It's a miracle! We have our son back! He is back to being the son they knew...loving, caring and planning for his future..talking of going into the service. He acts like he doesn't care about drugs. It's unbelievable!"

That's actually something I really like about Lou's podcast. It doesn't have to be a balls-to-the-wall fetish freakshow all the time; sometimes it's nice to just unwind with some weird people you didn't know about before. Even the drug episodes swing between Requiem for a Dream poo poo and surprisingly "ordinary" conversations about day-to-day junkie experiences.

If you don't find it irritating, fine. But if you do, then that fplus was a nice palette cleanser.

There is a middle ground between "fat people are irredeemable and disgusting" and super-judgmental people mad at other people judging them or ruminating on "if I were fat I would be less attractive!?!?" as if it were some impenetrable mystery to decipher instead of their own Sisyphus-ian struggle with insecurity and shame.

If your worldview is propped up by an F-Plus episode then its probably a pretty garbage worldview to begin with.

Mermaid people seem like cosplayers and fursuiters in that it's a hobby to some and a fetish to others and both sides love showing off at every opportunity regardless.

Fat people are human too and shouldn't be treated badly just because they are fat.

The people in the "Fat Acceptance" episode of the FPlus are clearly crazy and should be mocked because they are perpetuating unhealthiness. There are actual physical consequences to being fat. There are probably 'fat acceptance' people who aren't crazy, and just wish people would stop shouting insulting them just for that or something. I don't know I haven't looked into the movement that much.

I'm surprised he wasn't able to find any juicier material. My cousin is friends with a mermaid and, from what I hear of her experiences, the community of full of drama and cattiness.

(She's also having a difficult time finding a place to live because she can't find a housing community that both has a public pool and doesn't ban mermaids from said pool)

Oh for sure. I doubt there's a hobby/interest out there that doesn't have a dark underbelly. (Model train enthusiasts can get really mad about model trains.) It's just the episode I was commenting on. "I spend too much on my hobby" and "I have a weight problem" are just so incredibly prosaic compared to what I'm used to from my two favorite podcasts. The craziest thing I remember from this episode was the suggestion one gets a second job for the sake of a costume, which seems likely to be more unhealthy than the alternative but, hey, whatever.

Clearly harassing fat people and telling them to kill themselves is the better route here.


Note: I'm not saying that's the tone of the fplus episode but the general idea of the 2edgy gbs fucknuts, and if your reaction to that TAL episode was to make a post in a forum thread that dehumanizes fat people and claim that there's a happy medium between treating them as human beings and treating them like a cancer to society then there's probably something wrong with you.

Inb4 a bunch of smug gbs posters tell me that I care about this.
