Seriously. If it was "that's just the way New Yorkers talk", Trump would be dropping f-bombs ever 5th word. edit: also, regarding Phyllis Schlafly dying, I'm not crying about it, especially given what a poo poo year 2016 has been for awesome people dying. I was having a conversation yesterday with some friends of mine, shortly before If found out, and I was like "drat. Prince, Bowie, Gene Wilder, Glen Frey, Morley Safer...can I get a Ted Nugent up in this bitch?" So I settle for Schlafly for the moment. edit 2: as long as we're posting scathing obituaries, I'll post Hunter S. Thompson's takedown of Richard Nixon. Excerpts" Hunter Thompson posted:If the right people had been in charge of Nixon's funeral, his casket would have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning. Even his funeral was illegal. He was queer in the deepest way. His body should have been burned in a trash bin.

BROCK LESBIAN posted:Yeah I don't know I accompanied a friend to an OBGYN because she didn't want to go alone and I'm a dude. I just sat in the waiting room looking at my phone while the doc was diddling her vag or whatever? It's also entirely possible that he was her ride there and didn't want to sit in the car and wait. The waiting room is probably air conditioned and has things to read. Sure as hell beats the car.

I wouldn't recommend watching it. I sampled a bit of a debate he had with someone on the left, and it must've been so bad I banished it from my brain because I remember neither the topic of the debate nor who his opponent was. e: I mean who wouldn't want to sit through this  Also, regarding Pete Davidson and 9/11 jokes, the first one I heard was told by Davidson himself -- at the Bieber roast, he turned to Snoop Dogg and said, "Soul Plane was the worst experience of my life involving planes."

The first thing that comes to mind w/r/t the Hillary's health stuff isn't "sexism," it's "obnoxious bullshit please shut up already." Though it could be both, IDK.

Good job abandoning ship when he finally decides to drop a steaming log somewhere that actually effects you, I guess? The comments sections I was reading today were littered with poo poo about how ugly Greta Van Sustwren is and how she's jealous that she never got sexually harassed. Even forgetting for a second how terrible of an opinion that is to have and is apropo of nothing, she looks like a perfectly attractive woman to me. Never read the comments. Speaking of that though, I've posted before about playing a sort of game with comments sections where I count how many posts it takes for some idiot to equate whatever the story is about to the fault of liberalism, however unrelated the story is to politics. Its insane even more fun the less political the story is. A woman who had (I think) the first ever face transplant died and I swear to God like ten posts in it had something to with Hillary Clinton and liberals. Some dude in Australia got killed by a shark while kite surfing and by the second or third page it was some poo poo about environmentalism and global warming. Just nuts. ToxicSlurpee posted:It's also entirely possible that he was her ride there and didn't want to sit in the car and wait. The waiting room is probably air conditioned and has things to read.

Good job abandoning ship when he finally decides to drop a steaming log somewhere that actually effects you, I guess? Saying that a woman working for a company where sexual abuse is happening should just quit in order to make a stand is a dumb and bad opinion that you should be ashamed of. Yeah she's a scientologist with bad opinions. She still deserves a work environment free of sexual abuse, and she shouldn't have to give up her nightly show in order to make that a reality. You're talking about just voluntarily crossing a guy who worked for Nixon who used the FNC budget as a slush fund to hire private investigators to dig up dirt on a journalist doing an unauthorized biography. So I think any women working at FNC can be excused for not blowing the whistle earlier (as long as they're weren't enabling Ailes behavior). Josh Marshall at TPM is reporting that it may have had to do with her playing hardball negotiating a pay raise after Gretchen Carlson accused Ailes publicly. I guess that's implying she may have tried to use something connected to Ailes as leverage, but  Apparently Greta van Susteren's husband is saying also that there may be litigation over her firing. So since Ailes departure, unsurprisingly, not much has changed. Murdoch is a snake that put Bill Shine in charge despite him and Dianne Brandi being implicated countless times in these sexual harassment claims. This is like the hacking scandal. It's just getting started. ErIog fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Sep 7, 2016 |

Aesop Poprock posted:Conservatives as a whole don't understand humor, which becomes a lot more obvious when you see a conservative "comedian" like Crowder in action. Their poo poo is always based on their actual prejudices and dislike of things so when they see poo poo like roasts targeting their right wing kin they can't help but feel like it's coming from the same place their jokes come from. I find that there's an inverse relationship between having a good sense of humor and how worried you are about being perfect and correct all the time. Humor is our way of accepting that the world isn't perfect.

He just says whatever he thinks is properly edgy to spite the vague group he labels "liberals" for his deluded audience to nod and agree with him. He's always been a soulless puppet saying exactly what the right wing wants to hear.

Liberals don't have a monopoly on humor. The social function of humor is to identify in-groups and out-groups, as well as reinforce in-group bonding. If I tell a racist joke, and you're offended by it, then you're a part of the out-group, and not who the joke is intended for. Humor, even among liberals, usually comes at the expense of someone else. This website we are posting on was built almost entirely on mocking and ridiculing other people. It's not quite an issue of "punching up" or down either, as so many of Somethingawful's targets over the years were not powerful people at all (like all the 9/11 jokes or making fun of random internet people, Reddit, Tumblr, etc). As horrifying as it might seem, Crowder does have an audience. He has 453,000 subscribers to his Youtube channel, and almost 80 million total views of his videos. His twitter has 258k followers. The handful of people who read this thread are certainly not "80% of his viewers" like someone mentioned before. If you click on his videos and scroll through the comments, people do find it funny. None of us in this thread are even remotely conservative, so it seems bizarre to us. Ivan Shitskin fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Sep 7, 2016 |

Kenzie posted:Liberals don't have a monopoly on humor. It's true. A lot of the old Dennis Leary and Dennis Miller poo poo was super conservative, along with a lot of standup that's coming out right now. The problem with Crowder is that he's not funny and people are his fans as a way to signal to others that they are true believers. Part of Crowder's problem is that he's a coward and that to be really funny you have to take risks. Instead he just sits there in his safe space, making "edgy" comments like the OB-GYN one that are neither funny nor insightful. But his safe "edginess" is just the kind of thing that a conservative can feel safe reposting and liking so it plays perfectly in social media.

Edgy humor is the weakest form of humor because you rely on people being shocked instead of having a well-constructed joke. I think it's kind of why edgy comedians really don't stick around long, unless their jokes are constructed well.

Heard Beck putting Yonopopolis and the alt-right on blast this morning. Described him as a "scared 13-year old boy". Beck is nuts but I feel like he's ideologically consistent, at least. He's probably the only mainstream conservative talking head I'd refer to as a "real conservative", not that that's something to aspire to.
