    It's so crazy how this show is basically the exact same shit the exact same type of guy would have done 10, 20, 30 years ago with the exact same jokes. The only difference is the post-covid brainworms and the context of the transphobia being presented as a losing ideology. Kinda mindblowing that this dude is a couple years from AARP eligibility and still talking like he's in middle school. That sucks.

    Every time you read the next part of his "act" you think you can't roll your eyes any harder, but then you can

      shrug-outta-hecks if you have a Spotify account and still want to complain about Rogan's bigotry and homophobia, i think that's fine too

          Consumer ethics is a diversion from systemic critique of the platforms enabling this shit

            Except when you pay to keep bigots platformed. But I'm sure meat eating "animal lovers" share your opinion.

              This is the sort of thing where the only thing you can possibly be getting from it is a sense of moral superiority, since you aren't actually making things better even if you were more persuasive (because you'd still be acting apart from any sort of organized boycott), and you are not even being persuasive.

                  No, actually that's what you're doing. Not making points, but getting off on your own god complex via snide, unhelpful remarks. Neat! 👍

        I hope he does something Vs I think we should do something

        It's a pretty straight forward distinction if you understand words

        I think the distinction is hoping someone will do something vs saying we should do something. That’s the “advocating” part. Nobody can say that a comment hoping Rogan would jump off a cliff had anything to do with it if it actually happens somehow.

    We don't need to care about him. Bad comedians with shitty world views are a dime a dozen. He's famous because he communicates well and not because his ideas are worth attention or respect.

    It's not a weird competition!

    Everyone can be weird in their own way... just some should never be in charge of anything ever...

      Using "weird" about a comedian actually risks the whole gambit IMO. You start calling everyone weird, maybe it's just you who is the unusual person calling everyone who disagrees with you weird.

      The whole point of the attack is that the weird people are not acceptable elected officials. Keep it to people who are trying to get elected.

    I thought it was a bad comedy special but it's just wild the amount of hate I've seen for him and it. Like we already knew he had no idea what he was talking about on Covid, he admits as such (standard "don't listen to a comedian for that" take that he and Jon Stewart trot out all the time). You could see it as his surrender on the topic. People seem to be taking it more as a "he's still talking about it."

    I noticed him on my Netflix just now.

    Thumbs downed the lot on principle. I ain't watching that shit.
