The Great Twist

jackofarcades posted:

These seem like they're just sarcasm, right? There's one from this year talking about how "black people are the real Jews." This is from when we had a big dustup about Nick Cannon and a few black athletes parroting some Louis Farrakhan stuff.

"The far left" and "the far right" tweet makes it clear he's saying both sides have an antisemitism problem, but the left tries to hide it.

Like, gently caress this guy and the thread was dumb and whatever, but the tweet searching stuff is almost always dumb poo poo taken out of context.

Which context is it okay to throw the N Word around? How many ironic "The Jews" jokes until it's obvious that it was never ironic?

I think that's a result of confirmation bias - you only see bad apologies go around. Successful, genuine apologies don't get a lot of responses or quote-tweets because they're not enraging, and Twitter's algorithm rewards controversial posts.

I haven't seen the N Word thing since the account was deleted and not everything was screenshot. I was just going off the screenshots that are still around. There's probably stuff I haven't seen that could be really bad.

I can understand not giving the guy the benefit of the doubt, it's just those tweets perfectly fit a section of like liberal comedy twitter that I understood them.

For some reason being treated really lovely by the British makes some Irish people think it's okay for them to use the n word, like it's the same as when African Americans use it. Reginald D Hunter, an African American comedian who lives in the UK sometimes talks about it.

in context it seemed obvious that he was trying to say that antisemitism is bad, but, he was also fond of the phrase "as a student of Hitler" which makes me wonder if Hitler taught him how to open a can of beans

Given that the guy deleted his entire Twitter account it seems likely he knows exactly how bad it all looks for him.

Everyone who is anyone shouldn't make bigoted or otherwise tasteless "jokes", or throw around the N-word.

It's not a case of older posts becoming not okay over time. They were not okay when they were posted.

it would have been tolerable if he were a teen and stupid when he posted those, but he was in his 40s so gently caress him

Drew Carey? How do you drop that name in when he's already hosting The Price is Right?

Also Pat Sajak (who is astonishingly high on the list) and Steve Harvey. I struggle to see why anyone would put money on them being suitable hosts apart from the fact they already host other game shows. At least Tom Bergeron used to host an actual quiz show.

Part of me was actually holding out for Andy Richter just because of that one time he was a celebrity contestant and cleaned house.

I’m ashamed of all the horrible edgy things I said back as a college libertarian in the early 2000s. Glad Twitter didn’t exist, but if did make horrible tweets I certainly wouldn’t double down on them. Ironic hate speech is still hate speech and I’m glad I got better. It’s also different coming from someone not old enough to drink vs a dude in his 40s.

It’s also super jarring watching media from that time and hearing people casually drop the f and r words. But that’s more for the media that hasn’t aged well thread than this one

I know the other guys are more high profile but theres a girl getting really dragged in the artist community because she has a fetishized nazi OC based on a REAL nazi that turned out was also her "sona/alter ego" and she was saying she wasnt supporting the "ideology" but when people went digging it turned out she was following some legit nazi types as well as CP artists. I feel like she could have been a Main Character if it wasnt for the higher profile ones all rolling out the last couple days

Heres her terribly worded apology and below someone's much better rebuttal https://twitter.com/sarahpdraws/status/1345589273622360066

Actually lost my loving mind at this because she's got the same name as an artist I really love, and I'm relieved it's not the same person.

I feel like if South Park hadn't been trying to out-edgy the likes of Beavis & Butt-head (which itself was one-upping the Simpsons which became a runaway success by being a dark mirror to saccharine 80s sitcoms), they wouldn't have gone so hard on the :airquote: ironic slurs.

What I'm saying is the Simpsons really did ruin America just like GHWB said

I think it’s fair to say “offensive things can be funny”. Problem is, most people who try to put that into practice aren’t funny.
