Yea it's like, 80% cops 20% gamers there, if it wasn't a known fact that our cops will happily kick the door in and run into a house guns blazing because one person said they think they hear something bad it wouldn't be a thing to begin with.

If I remember right, he got more into that in his solo guest spot on No Cartridge Required: in short, it's no surprise that someone who spends most of their waking hours in an immersive simulation designed to entertain them would have reactionary politics and dehumanize other people.

Like, what is PUA poo poo but thinking that women aren't human and seduction is about technique and "dialogue options"

PUA poo poo has been around since forever though under different names and poo poo. i mean listen to a ton of dollop episodes and you will see. and matt thinks everything in entertainment is reactionary including actual art. he makes some good points about people caring to much about the poo poo and such but some of his points come off as being a kinda of a old man who doesn't understand poo poo and is mad that the world hasnt become just in his life time.

I don't know mate but if you acknowledge that they aren't representative of the typical New Yorker in their early 30s, then you probably shouldn't respond to the question "do you seriously think someone in their early 30s making $200k is par for the course in NYC?" with "yes, super duper yes"

Chapo/DSA/SA Goons are not the general population, and we're comparing the hosts' income and charity to their actual peers & not millions of unrelated strangers. Go to a live event for this stuff in NYC and you'll see a crowd almost identical to a SV startup or Finance office (but with more women and POC). By that standard the Chapos are way above the norm in donating to good causes and supporting community health. They don't talk about it publicly because it's not relevant to the content of the show

Yeah, didn't mean "friends" or "real fans", that was poorly worded. It's about what kind of careers they could do instead of Chapo, aka economic value of labor. That doesn't mean they like or associate with techies/finance/lawyers/etc.

I really doubt that. As far as I know Will was the only one with anything that could be described as an actual career prior to the show. The rest were in casual employment, freelance writers, or straight up unemployed.

it's a little embarrassing that people fear Qanon will eventually ruin the lives of hundreds or so of Americans like the 80s satanic daycare scare when ongoing sex work criminalization and isolation affect thousands and is considered a mainstream and acceptable crusade

sex work gets driven underground by any sort of regulation, because regulating the sex industry has never, in the course of human history, been done in a sane and consistent manner. the Stormy Daniels arrest is a great example of how regulation is used. driving the industry underground leads to theft, rape, violence, ect. and the victims have no legal recourse.

your stance is indirectly, and perhaps unintentionally, saying that violence + exploitation should be a consequence of choosing to work in the sex industry. the people who share that stance with you are the religious right, sexist men, and various flavors of -ERF's. Unlike you these people all know that the laws do nothing except punish sinful women. Those are the people you're allying yourself with here.

Pretty sure Virgil has written for The Onion and Amber teaches at NYU. They weren't nearly as fail-adjacent as Felix or Matt.
