I think it was Will that said on Twitter that the thing that their critics hate most of all is that there is no one they can tattle to to get the dry boys fired.

Yup. That "bend the knee to us" quote really pissed them off, and not for the cynically disingenuous reasons they're claiming. Chapo is pumping out unapologetic and spirited leftist polemic and "let me speak to your manager" isn't going to make it go away this time.

He does write good stuff, but for every good article he's written there's a "here's why mailboxes are problematic 1/83" tweet thread

I like Jeet, I think he genuinely has at least left-of-center views and doesn't seem especially sanctimonious or hypocritical, which is a lot more than you can say about 90% of pundits and political commentators

He apologized for this and a really terrible rape joke he made in the CTH subreddit.

Felix posted:

Hey, this is Felix. I saw this just now and I have zero defense of it. I guess I thought the reply I screenshotted was funny but that's completely hosed up and I should not have done that at all and offer no excuse. I kind of drift and don't think sometimes, I think I've gotten less lovely about it but I obviously still gently caress up a lot, and I'm an adult and it's my responsibility. I'm donating the remainder of my income this month to CRR. I know that doesn't undo the really awful poo poo I said in that post, but I feel like I have a responsibility to do something good out of all this.

quote:

Friend of mine messaged me about that today wrt my Jeet stuff. I put a real conscious effort to not say "cocksucker" like I have, but yeah, I'm really stupidly hair trigger sometimes. I'd say it's been a pretty hosed up week but really, I do that too much even when things aren't haywire that it's not a good excuse in the least. I'm sorry about that, too.
He also said he would consider making an apology on-air.

no the ideal curse word starts with a sibilant so you can hiss it when you stub your toe, and ends sharply so you can bark it when you're yelling at somebody. that's why "gently caress" and "poo poo" are such workhorses. "cocksucker" does have the sibilant in the middle but it's not the same imo
