Quite liked the content honestly. It's a form of journalism (I'm being serious) that has it's merits, but it always felt at sort of an odd path where it couldn't decide whether it wanted to be Joe Goes (RIP that channel), sort of jokey but respectfully portraying odd subcultures, or Hunter S. Thompson, portraying serious topics from well within, but without the "main" character.
It sort of ended up like the video version of unconsensual street photography and I feel like that does lend itself to not being all to great with peoples boundaries
He does a modern spin on gonzo journalism that I think works pretty well. I guess it shouldn't surprise that just like Hunter S. Thompson, he's a sex creep.
But you know, the worst I ever heard about Thompson was that
he would get drunk and make weird passes at his neice.he once threw a drink at and pushed over a woman when she refused to get into a hot tub with him. Still very bad, but not "accused of sexual assault by multiple women" bad.deleted by creator
Fuck. I didn't know about that until now.
I enjoyed a lot of HST's work, but I'm not going to treat defend him if he was a creep. :hst-pissed:
I think you can acknoweldge that Thompson was all at once a very insightful writer, broadly on the side of oppressed peoples, and kind of a jackass in his personal life.
Agreed. That's why I said I wasn't going to treat defend him. I can read him like I read Zizek. :zizek-preference:
Well said.
