Pretty sure people were aware for a while that Roderick was some level of gross and rode the line of edgy humor poo poo, but was personable enough that people who knew him always gave him a pass. Any time I actually heard anything about him, it lowered my opinion of him, though. The boys really need to get out of the mindset of treating business partners like any other friend.

Like you could probably match the dates of some of his rweets to eps of mbmbm and the reason why justin was talking about glass shark while bean dad said america belongs to whites is bc nobody even remembered who he is.

It just occurred to me that I’ve listened to the intro 100s of times and have never once thought about listening to the rest of that song. I’m going to miss Touch the Skyrim way more.

Not a day goes by that I don’t feel some degree of relief that I have scripts to auto purge anything on my social media(s) after a year. I don’t do anything of note in any aspect but if a lovely drawn out woke toddler meme can draw out this sort of response best to hedge bets.

The McElroy brothers are not experts and their advice should never be followed. Travis claims he's a "sexpert," but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdCH7ZewAfY

Sankis posted:the phase of Twitter where a main character's Twitter history is searched and posted is here and folks its not great. Aside from the tweet with the N-word in it (which is super super super super bad), and maybe the one with the C-word in it, and the one where he calls a dude a fag, none of the other incriminating tweets in this thread really rise to anything beyond "this looks kinda bad out of context" (lol, that's still three tweets too many, and he absolutely deserves the scrutiny he's getting). Honestly, they should've just stuck to those three tweets. Maybe it's because Roderick has always been the 'emphatically pro-Israel one' on Friendly Fire and Omnibus, and has been pretty vocal about his Jewish heritage and about being "the only Jew in Alaska" and so forth, but it's hard for me to see his tweets about Jews outside of a very obvious context that people seem to willingly be missing. And in that context, I don't think his tweets are any more indicative of "lovely beliefs" than the poo poo that routinely gets said on Chapo, or the poo poo that thousands of other Jewish comics and commentators routinely say. And the "bitch named Nora" tweet is just funny. If you don't find the "bitch named Nora" tweet funny then you're probably absolutely intolerable to be around in real life. Also, IDK who this Bird Respecter is, but they seem like a Defcon 1 square, their body of other tweets gives me that impression. I bet they're absolutely intolerable to be around in real life. Anyway, my point isn't that I don't think Roderick deserves what's happening to him right now--he clearly absolutely does. I'm not defending John Roderick or his stupid "I'm an old man now so I get to do lovely old man things" schtick. My point is that it's weirdly frustrating to me to watch the most tiresome people in all of liberalism (because I guarantee you that none of them are actual leftists), these wannabe Neera Tandens of Woke Internet, bend over backwards to dig up any tweet that has a potty word in it, or the tongue-in-cheek suggestion of an adversarial relationship with a child, as proof of a broader pattern of secret fascism or whatever. Like, I wanna be able to confidently argue that poo poo like cancel culture doesn't really exist, but then you've got people with embarrassing gamer avatars in this very thread going all "the Brothers McElroy must have known about his secret fascism and kept it secret for a decade " Oooh Oooh, he said the word "bitch" in this one! This whole thing is equal parts stupid and entertaining. Like, just cancel a dude for using slurs and be done with it. You don't have to manufacture all of this other spurious crap about child abuse or "secret lovely beliefs" to give it legitimacy. Like anything else involving the Brothers and sociopolitics it all feels super performative and like it's gonna be taken too far, until it becomes way more cringey than useful or helpful. Cancelling John Roderick will become the Loupe of 2021. ghost emoji posted:It's so bad! It's forgettable fartrock that doesn't match the retch of the show, and the volume is so much louder than it needs to be. I was so put off by the Dr. Gameshow ads that I will literally never listen to a single episode of it. They managed to fit a whole Wonderful episode's-worth of twee into a 30 second ad. It was like a van full of ASMR videos crashed into Emo Philips on his way to an Adventure Time read and every time I hear it my spine tries to leave my body.

The 7th Guest posted:where does this one fit in the pile That one’s pretty obviously facetious, considering that the dude routinely talks about Israel and about his time in Israel, and about Israelis he’s known, and has done multiple tours in Israel, including poo poo explicitly affiliated with USO and the IDF. Friendly Fire recently covered Exodus and Roderick’s take on the film was literally framed as “coming from the one Zionist in the group”. Do you think he’s an antisemite? I have pretty strong evidence to suggest that he is not, as ill-advised as that tweet may have been, and as grotesque as it may look on its own. When Amber Frost refers to herself as “octaroon” is she being a racist too? Should she be cancelled for that mocking use of a slur? If I refer to myself as a wetback, explicitly in the context of mocking or facetiously parroting viewpoints that I find objectionable, do I also have to face scrutiny for simply using the word? (The answer is yes, and in this case I gave the tweet scrutiny and found it to be evidence of arrogance and extremely poor judgment. You didn’t find a secret Nazi tweet) trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 07:30 on Jan 4, 2021 |

Being a Zionist isn't mutually exclusive with being an antisemite. In fact, that describes a gently caress ton of American conservatives. You do not ever have to give the edgy middle aged white guy constantly finding ways to use slurs in jokes the benefit of the doubt. He just wants to use slurs. Also, the new theme will definitely be by LMM, because of course they'll make the decision that will please half the fans and piss off the others. And he's also very high on the likely to get cancelled list.
