Without the juggalos though, they would have probably discontinued Fanta many years ago. So they are not all bad.

Ngl, one of the things that keeps me coming back to SA is that we stopped making fun of furries and juggalos; not because there's nothing to make fun of but because it's passe and we actually grew up a little bit.

I worked with a reddit poisoned idiot and he was convinced that ityol 2020, making fun of furries was still edgy.

i think laughing at people is totally fine so long as you keep in mind someone else are probably laughing at you. who knows maybe in the end we'll all learn to laugh with eachother

Based on the juggalos I have known it's not that they're particularly pro-minority or whatever but more that they're just willing to accept anyone and everyone who feels left out for any reason, on the good end of the spectrum that includes when it's because of oppression or a lovely home life, and on the bad end of the spectrum that includes when the person is bad and that's why they don't have friends. It puts them in the upper half of subcultures for sure though.

Like their whole attitude is "If you don't have family that has your back, then I'm your family who has your back" which is pretty dope, if sometimes naive and misguided.

This is just an outsider's speculation but I think a lot of the clown and aesthetic stuff is mostly because the target demo is all of these kids and wayward youth in rural bible belt villages who would be indoctrinated as bible thumping chuds if they didn't have something that was the complete opposite of what their parents are into to draw them away, it's less about the aesthetic being cool and more about how the aesthetic drives away the people who treat them like poo poo.

They definitely have some lovely customs though so I can't pretend I'm fully down with the clown, their way of welcoming "non-(juggalo-)traditional" acts at the Gathering, like Andrew WK for example, is by throwing things like beer bottles at the performer during their set, which the performers are supposed to interpret as a good and friendly thing.

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:

For as many tolerant and accepting juggalos as there are, there is an approximately equal amount that are bigots of various stripe, racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, etc.
Their apparent politics and social mores have been aggrandized by trying to turn them into some benevolent caste of loveable outcast misfits, but they're just a group tied together by a terrible musical act and extremely tenuous general ideas of kinship and brotherhood via that group that doesn't really mean poo poo because going to GotJ means seeing at least several handfuls of them getting into idiotic fights while telling homophobic slurs at each other.

Chances are you're going to run into virulently homophobic juggalos en masses at the GotJ. Remember that ICP didn't change their tack on previously homophobic lyrics until quite recently, so it isn't like they set a great example.

I don't know why the internet did their 180 on ICP. I guess because there are far better targets than poor people being generally goofy and bonding over bad music, but from my experience they have not earned the general distinction as being some kind of loving and tolerant sub culture. You're probably going to see plenty of them being anti-BLM thin blue line types too because if you still think the lyrical content of music and the political leanings of that music register to conservatives, bigots, and worthless sacks of Republican poo poo, then you must have have somehow blissfully been unaware of how much they love poo poo like Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Willie Nelson.

Anyway, they're not bad, they're not good, but the weird thing people have been doing lately of trying to mythologize them is a little cringe inducing.

Thanks for the posts :tipshat:

Also I just remembered that there are backyard wrestling games on the original XBOX featuring juggalos that someone on the forum complained about back when the games first came out in 2003

END OF AN ERROR posted:

So I purchased Backyard Wrestling for the Xbox, because well, it looked sweet as hell. Yes, I am an ICP fan, so this game looked awesome. I get it home and start up the Talk Show Mode, and choose Mr. Monoxide Child. My first task (and officially my last) is to defeat Rude Boy, another guy from the Psychopathic family.

Hooray Monoxide, jump up and down during your introduction, because it will be the last time you are on your feet. The match starts, and I'm immediately on the ground getting the living poo poo beaten out of me. I get a few punches or maybe, MAYBE a grab every now and then, but VERY rarely. I am just getting beaten horribly, no excuses for it. Getting beaten so bad that the weapons he throws at me, when I run away from them, they curve, follow me, and proceed to hit me.

Well I get beaten real bad the first two times, so I decide to raed the instructions, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Nope, I guessed correctly what all on the buttons do. I have the game on Normal, which is as easy as it gets, and I hardly survive 3 minutes, and it isn't even a fun 3 minutes. Screw you Backyard Wrestling, say hello to Mr. eBay.

Oh man, what happened to Violent J?

I know he became a support supportive furry for his daughter or whatever but why would he need to go to rehab? Isn't he sober?

hosed his marriage up by loving one of his female artists. Stopped taking certain necessary medications. Ruined his relationship with Twiztid thus seeding a schism between fans. Lost all of his original artists and friends to Twiztid's label due ti being an unhinged rear end in a top hat.

He did let Rhyno and someone random wrestler destroy his house though. Also did hosted a concert in his own living room. Also does support his gay furry daughter and owns his own Kung Fu Master Wolf fursuit.

Tbh i think his lack of antipsychotic meds and his insane need to give people money is loving him up bad

I still love scrolling the pictures that come from the event of tents set up in the middle of the biggest mud hole you've ever seen, or cars being used as Official Hot Boxes parked in the middle of the food court, people who forgot to bring a tent and buy 30 t-shirts from the Merch shop to make a tent, or other great things like that.

I remember vaguely hearing that Chris Hansen had fallen on hard times. What happened?

There's a young dude on YouTube named Mista GG who used to review TCAP videos and talk about the creeps. Then Hansen and some producer found out, started trying to make new TCAP videos. Then they started doxxing people. Then Mista GG called out Hansen and was like "yo dude, if you're trying to help kids, you gotta ditch this producer, he's sketchy".

Well the producer was sketchy and now Hansen is basically washed up because he doxxed people, started fights with kids, etc.

I love old videos and photos of ICP for some reason. I think just because of how mysterious they were back in the early 90s, and how lovely the clown makeup was back then. This is one of my favorite old-rear end videos of them, especially at the 1:50 mark:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FurXL1pTrM&t=109s

I believe this is the oldest ICP footage ever, though. From 1990:

Too true, I've seen all 3 of those acts at some point and the boomer chuds were out in force.
I always thought going to a gathering would be an interesting experience, but I would fully expect to see what you describe even if it was also along with the peace love and family type stuff.
Ultimately the subculture is united through as you say, a lovely musical act and outsider persona, and not any specific ideology
