what are these “tough questions” they were asking cernovich anyways

They werent questions as much as they were positive observations from the idiot bougie journalist. "I see how you're able to make such intimate connections with your audience. Tell us about this time you made up some fake news about BLM. How did you feel when you put those thugs in their place"

its almost as if vice beyond art, lifestyle, and fashion is filled with hacks

The Epicly Later'd documentary series about old skateboarders is one of the best things if you have any interest at all in skateboarding peoples.

God vice sucks. its either mindless hedonist poo poo(open relationships/cheating, taking huge amounts of drugs at once is cool and good, opps i got aids) or dumb "woke" poo poo like that, mixed with they rarely call the real monsters(loving nazis) out on anything. its kinda sad when their loving video game site is the smartest articles of all of them. i mean their war tourism days were bad but at least they talked about stu


yeah. it may have kleppick who is dumbass, but Austin Walker and the rest are pretty good. they make genuinely interesting articles that dont turn into weird screeds like the rest of vice or in game terms polygon.

yea but their video on Charlottesville was incredible

thats the thing theyve done some drat good stuff, but its like with gawker or buzzfeed they cover a wide range and theres some good people there but you also end up with pieces like the cernovich blowjob

maybe they just need a head editor or something to control the direction of content

perhaps the old media model was actually good

Eh I don't see what the big deal is over making GBS threads on the great gatsby (vice is a mixed bag otherwise). Everyone is one dimensional and no one would care or read it if it was discovered this year. Literature is like pineapple pizza, you can like it or not but people love to lose their poo poo if someone has the wrong opinion on it.

last time i got gas in new jersey the attendants were having a hardcore disagreement over whether or not it was acceptable to put ranch on pizza

one of them eventually turned to me and was like, sir, is ranch on pizza ok???

it owned, would participate in roundtable again

making GBS threads on GG because the characters are all awful people misses the entire point of the book. it's not even subtle about how awful everyone in the story is supposed to be and the author's contempt for them is a bunch of flashing neon lights.
