    Love too be a Traditional Moral Practicing Jew who is also terrified of Satanic Influences Pervading Our Culture. I'm definitely not a lapdog for Christian supremacy, you have to take my religious posturing seriously.

    do something highly provocative, then act shocked and appalled when people are provoked

      i think he's trying to imply that there's no reason to get something like a face tattoo unless you're intentionally being provocative

      it's similar to how these dipshits feel about women with dyed hair

        It's such an embarrassing self-own

        I feel like most of the culture wars I've ever seen have boiled down to, "We're going to exist in a way that couldn't possibly provoke anyone unless they were fragile bigots," being met with "Because we're fragile bigots and you know it, you're ackshually the ones being aggressive by existing openly."

          it genuinely is mind-boggling, these dipshits are bending over backwards to hate people whose existence literally doesn't impact them in any way. like their lives are based more around the fact that trans people exist than mine is, and i am one

          it's almost fucking sad. like dudes don't you know you've only got about 80 years here? you really want to spend every single day of them thinking about my dick? and not even in a way that makes you happy, but in a way that makes you furious???? i'm genuinely begging right-wingers to go and hug their families, talk to their friends about the game, go for a hike, a n y fucking thing. it's such a fucking waste of a life, i mean goddamn.

      I think he implied not only that, but also that it is natural and normal to be provoked and that you're weird if you don't, uh ... get angry at people who have face tattoos.

      When I read that all I could think was "oh, like walking out into public with an assault rifle slung across your chest". Of course since his audience sees nothing wrong with that, he has to couch it in terms that imply that tattooed people simply crave attention and outrage (📽)

      Genuinely finding out about her for the first time from here. What kind of loser do you have to be to keep up with pop culture this much out of sheer hate of trans people?

          i'm extremely guilty as charged, actually tbh i don't really pay a whole lot of attention to the music world in general. i just put on my lo-fi doot doots and call it a day. :blob-no-thoughts:

          can't lie though, learning about this girl via benny boy getting super mad about her racking up a win is pretty good and i'm feeling pretty validated in my choices

          yeah that's also totally fair. i had heard enough about sam smith in passing to be relatively sure they were white (e: a comrade has informed me they are nonbinary, my b) but this tweet was literally my intro to kim petras lol

            he's promoting her either intentionally or unintentionally, hard not to wonder if there's a way to hire Ben Shapiro to hate you as a way of marketing yourself. not that I really suspect that here, but it's an untapped market and we know what happens to those

              REAL shapiroheads know he's available to anyone who can afford his rates (as this is the only fair way to determine who is in need of a service, of course) HOWEVER he demands contract negotiations take the form of a formalized debate

              you are required to participate if you want him to work his magic.

      Ah. I'd never heard of Kim Petras before, so I didn't even pick up on the misgendering. I was thinking more about why Ben made a point of saying they're white.

    After the embarrassing admissions about his wife in his panic over W.A.P. I'd love to watch his brain melt if he ever listened to the Slut Pop EP. :pingu-horny: :expert-shapiro:

    Anyway, what a silly response. It was basically a Eurovision performance in red light and the song is arguably about condemning a family man having an affair (even if it leans into the titillating aspects a bit).

    As for 'The Elite' I mean it's not like he can use the usual line of billionaire globalists (who fund his entire existence) or the Jews in the media (since that's him) so I guess he just went for a spooky hand wave.

      "treat me like a s-word, little dirty b-word i wanna f-copulate"

    part of me hopes he just remains an annoying whiny bigot forever cuz it is just so laughably dumb.

    but part of me also hopes that he has a change of heart and becomes the biggest little f-slur .

    I have no idea who those people are or what they've done. I'm guessing I would be disappointed if I watched whatever they did expecting a full-on Satanic performance though. Did they have a small pentagram somewhere or something?

      Don't Jewish people not even believe in Satan or Lucifer? I could be wrong, or Benny's using it in some abstract way to refer to "stuff he doesn't like"

        or Benny’s using it in some abstract way to refer to “stuff he doesn’t like”

        It's this and it's signaling to the broader right-wing who also use satan to mean anything they don't like.
