Joe Rogan Cancels the Cancelers

No, but your attempt at a red herring is noted. @Bailey

What does that video have to do with Fox news?

Apologies, I thought it was you the other day complaining about being called a Fox News viewer, which would make it odd to then say that people get too worked up over a word.

Apology accepted. @Bailey

Fair play, I must have misinterpreted this post:

No, I'm sorry, that doesn't wash his hands.
I worked with a mentally challenged kid, and you literally could have told him to do anything up to and including walking into the ocean.
Y'know what you do with a kid like that?
You don't tell him to walk into the ocean.
It's fucking evil.
Just because his audiences are meatheads, you don't give them bad advice.
It doesn't make it okay.
You do better.
With great power comes great responsibility.
He wants those double digit millions, time to step up the game.
He doesn't have to become a rocket scientist, but he could have a rocket scientist on.

Shut the fuck up. If you're taking medical advice from unqualified meatheads, your more immediate concern is not drowning when it rains. We are not tailoring society to those least qualified to walk freely within it.

So you'd tell the mentally challenged kid to walk into the ocean.
Good to know.
Hurry up, and build your log cabin, Grizzly, so you can't hurt anyone anymore.

No, I would like those responsible for supervising them to do their goddamn jobs.

Cuz it's never gonna be you, huh?
How's the cabin coming?
Got the roof up yet?

Fuck that, that's what pretty much every influential media figure says when they're cornered. Alex Jones provides advice to a sitting president, then claims he's just a rodeo clown. Jon Stewart testifies before Congress, then claims he's just a comedian. Rogan says no one should listen to his medical advice, then has Dr. Sanjay Gupta on his show to defend the same medical advice he doesn't want anyone taking seriously.

Fuck. That.

Joe Rogan says he’s a victim, slams clip of him using racial slur as a ‘political hit job’
“That video had always been out there ... And so they’re taking all this stuff I’ve ever said that’s wrong and smushing it all together,” Rogan said.


Joe Rogan weighed in again on the controversy over his repeated use of the N-word on his podcast — and Spotify’s removal of dozens of past episodes because of his “racially insensitive language” — and this time played the victim card.

Last Friday, Spotify pulled 70 episodes of “The Joe Rogan Experience” from its platform, dating from 2009 to 2018, which the streamer said it did at the request of Rogan and his team. That came after singer India Arie last week said she was pulling her music and podcasts off Spotify, citing Rogan’s “language around race." She reposted a video on Instagram, compiling 24 times Rogan used the N-word on his podcast, and the resurfaced clip soon went viral.

Rogan addressed the situation in Tuesday’s episode of his podcast, which is exclusively distributed by Spotify.


“That video had always been out there. It’s like, this is a political hit job,” Rogan said. He continued, “And so they’re taking all this stuff I’ve ever said that’s wrong and smushing it all together.”

At the same time, Rogan said, “It’s good because it makes me address some (expletive) that I really wish wasn’t out there.”

“You just have to stay offline … Life goes on, as normal,” Rogan told his guest, stand-up comedian and actor Akaash Singh, at the start of the episode.

“Real life is people who know you, and you’re a great guy,” Singh told the podcaster.

He added he was proud of Rogan for apologizing for his use of racial slurs.

“We’ve all said some wild (expletive), and you apologized, and owned that it’s wrong, good for you,” Singh said.

My real problem with Joe Rogan is that on one hand he does understand the need for safety standards, and then he participates in completely undermining them by encouraging the idiots in a democratic society to vote for people who corrupt them for profit.

That is a horrible hipocrite when you recognize he has the wealth and status to be above the rabble and have true safety standards for himself. Joe is clearly pro-vax in his initial statements. The fact he barely got hit with it I think is because he was vaxed or payed attention to some safety standards. He certainly was not in the high risk category to begin with.

He talks about safety and then he undermines it. That was why I could not work in florida for paintball, and some huge ethical problems I had with cosmotology. The safety is not there, and the harm being done ends up being serious. He sees it and recognizes the needs for standards, and then he knowingly encourages the rabble to be stupid and vote for people who will weaken standards and protections, and he does it because he makes more money doing that. What is worse is he could be someone like Christopher Titus and his podcast which is so much more factual and researched. I do not think Titus is really smart, but he does research and cites his evidence much better than Rogan does. Titus will also listen and try to correct or present real opposition to his points of view on his podcast.

OK, I have to ask because I do not want to delve this much into old Joe Rogan bullshit. Is this Joe Trying to be like eminem and use the word in a friendly familiar way, or is this joe saying nigger like I just did now in a reference to the word without calling someone that word, or is it joe actually calling black people the N word?

Because those three ways of using it fall differently for me. I assume, because he was not outright banned that he did not use it in the offensive manner and it was either him wrongly trying to be a part of the black community, or he said it it in reference to it. Even on those two instances one would be really just trying to be an edgelord and the other I resist (means do not do often) out of respect.

Again I am overcome with the reality that this is a whole lot of thought and discussion over a fucking useless moron (By his own description).

That's Rogan.

They're called influencers, so they'd best be damn fucking careful HOW they use their influence.

Why can’t we all accept that adults can make their own decisions and they can live with the consequences? Why must we assume that his audience is a bunch of lug heads who automatically take his word as gospel?

Assumptions are what one makes without evidence.

You know for a fact this audience are a bunch of meatheads? Oh and by the way, he literally had a rocket scientist on, Garrett Reisman.

Has a covidiot gone to jail yet for the people they've killed with their disease?
No?
Then fuck off with your "live with the consequences" shit.

Jesus, you're like Drax with the metaphors and analogies, aincha?

Joe Rogan personally supervises mentally handicapped people? Do you have evidence of that?

Yes I know, where’s your evidence?

Good one, Drax.

Have unvaccinated people died from Covid, yes they have, fuck off.

Because you are loud and have spoken up claiming you do, and your actions correspond to his statements. Is that enough for you?

You are not the person to start talking about his audience being meatheads. Have some self awareness.
