Domestic violence, false imprisonment changes of a girlfriend from January 2020 that were hidden until now.

This union buster is a piece of garbage! Who would have guessed?

      I never intend to actually hurt or anger anyone, except when i have this overwhelming urge to hurt or anger a ton of people :very-intelligent:

        It was a very white comment (ok fine not all Whites do this, just most, and all it takes is most)

        They'll just literally contradict themselves within the same sentence, but they'll be so busy "emoting" with themselves that they'll feel like they actually said something substantive.

        I never intend to actually hurt or anger anyone
        if I feel like I just have to make something horrible that might offend a lot of people

        1 = 2

          It's mainly white because most white dudes I know (being :lmayo: myself) don't ever grow up from being edgy teens or reflect on shit, then they get into positions that make sure that the reflection cannot happen.

          ah yes, that's the "baby i never meant to hurt you all the thousands of times i did hurt you, that was always just because i cannot comprehend that other human beings have feelings and opinions different from mine" part of the statement

        I get what you're saying and it was just a random reddit post (about sexual assault in his cartoon), but this bit:

        ... I never intend to actually hurt or anger anyone. And often times if I feel like I just have to make something horrible that might offend a lot of people, I’ll donate a bunch of money to an appropriate charity to make up for it.

        Reads like like one of those narcissist's prayer memes; "I've never done that. I'm not sorry that I do that. I have atoned with money."

            I'm guessing he didn't say that because #MeToo was at its height, Dan Harmon had just gone through his own confession, and R&M's viewership is like 40% women. He almost certainly received coaching about all of this at some point, and probably didn't want to piss off the money god.

                not some official interview with the press.

                Doesn't have to be. A PR consultant's job is to stop you from spilling more gasoline on the fire where you are. They teach you how to behave in public, not just in one interview. Typing cartoon network "pr consultant" into google brought up a lot of linked-in profiles, so they certainly use them.

                Ultimately you're right, we'd have to be psychic to truly understand what he meant in that moment, and we're left to our own modern interpretation. The history of shitting on his employees, abusing a woman, and defending people like Dave Chapelle makes my interpretation very unkind.

                Edit: Sorry if I was playing too fast and loose with editing, simply trying to be clearer. Hope we're all good!

        It's no Bo Burnham level journey of self-reflection

            It's not much but he went from terrible comedy to a really weird and depressing Netflix covid special, and apologizing and regretting much of his early stuff. It's not much, but I do get a sense that he had a some kind of awareness of his whiteness.

        Eh, this is kinda weird but I’d also say it perhaps a bit more self reflective than what you’d get from most edgy comedy type dudes.

        eh not really
