Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

i mean i'm obviously exaggerating but the narcissism of small differences and all that.

the idea of going on a reddit page to discuss twitter microcelebrity drama is so bleak.

not saying this thread isn't equally cursed lol.

online is cursed in general, thankfully lots of cool things are happening far away from it

that may be so but the cth subreddit remains one of the worst and most cursed places on the internet

is the objection to the fogle jokes that they somehow harm victims of sexual abuse? Because I kind of think that’s treating victims of sexual abuse like they are made out of tissue paper. It’s not like the jokes are at the expense of the victims. And tbh there is something very darkly funny and indicting is corporate capitalism about the whole subway jared phenomenon.

my objection is that once I've heard a joke 3 times it can go fuck off

but yeah I don't see why the Jared jokes are less offensive than the Cosby star photo, just that it's hard for audio to go viral

shut the fuck up, upper mississippi sh@kedown

"I listened to a shock-comedy podcast called Cum Town and was shocked to hear problematic things"

go eat some Cold Pockets

I see the sack of shit is leaking again

og less

hi whiney how are things?

i'm a little sleepy, having some coffee

fucking hell whiney

I hereby demand this be huggèd out forthwith

Cum town coffee mug I hope

you know i love you, ums

well that was a worthwhile diversion, thx whiney

when the world is ready for cum town they won't settle for hipster dog humor no more

np xpost, I just wish we had a thread for actual dirtbag leftists instead of Rolling Perpetually Shocked that Amber's Roomate Says Retard

DIRTBAG HARDER, orders ilx poster whiney g weingarten

I only browse there in the rotation of awwww and DIY subreddits I subscribe to but 2/3+ of the sub is news articles and talking about politics. When there is Twitter drama talk it's about the way that drama infects the DSA. They're less obsessive about the podcast than any given mid-00s ILX thread about anything.

lmao

My objection is overuse and it's not a very good joke - they've never really connected it to a critique of capitalism and marketing (except one episode where they paused and mentioned that Subway actually covered up his assaults).

me & whiney are cool, in 10 years this won't matter when kids my nephews age can vote and President Notch and VP Pewdiepie are in charge

also a lot of their 'problematic' humor isn't bad because it's problematic but mostly because it's just not that funny? idk i looked up or saw some more of their supposedly troublesome stuff and it seemed like guys who thought they were way funnier than they were

who would be on an ideal ilx-derived us politics podcast

will start the bidding at whiney, fred, morbs and mordy. after 7 episodes they realise they need at least one woman and recruit luna

I always wanted me, maura, J0rdan S. and D-40 to start a snarky, inside-baseball music podcast but I think J0rdan rightly pointed out that we need to keep our jobs

or at least he did

lol

I’ve been waiting for the lagoon+iatee podcast for years

If the objection is just that the Jared/Cosby jokes aren't funny enough to warrant being offensive, I can get behind that.

As for CumTown, I can't even remotely defend it. It's just an hour a week of compartmentalized nihilism for me, but it's probably not good for the soul even at that.

I shudder at the subscribers who simply must have two hours of compartmentalized nihilism a week

holy shit the cum town guys make $27k a month from patreon?!

Yeah, it's pretty insane. Each of them make a very nice full-time living from doing two hour-long bs podcasts per week that also serves as great marketing for their standup gigs. I think Nick even does the "production," as it were, himself, which I can't imagine takes more than another few hours a week all-in. At least Chapo pay a separate guy to record and actually do some real editing.

I just wish we had a thread for actual dirtbag leftists instead of Rolling Perpetually Shocked that Amber's Roomate Says Retard

You’re in luck, we do.

further amber-adjacent shenanigans, this time from some snowflake prof at nyu who needs a safe space

A New York University liberal studies professor known for his tweets fighting back against PC culture filed a defamation lawsuit against the school and four colleagues last week over a string of claims he said were false, the New York Post reported.

Plaintiff Michael Rectenwald's case named the school, associate professor Jacqueline Bishop, adjunct professor Amber Frost, professor Carley Moore and Theresa Senft, whom the Post described as an ex-assistant professor, as defendants.

Rectenwald alleged that a May email thread sent to more than 100 NYU staffers included “malicious” statements -- and that NYU didn’t prevent the “nasty screed,” the Post reported. The emails reportedly called him an “Adderall-filled bully” and “right-wing misogynist,” among other things.

Rectenwald is known for using the Twitter handle @antipcnyuprof and tweeting under the pseudonym “Deplorable NYU Prof.” He came forward in October 2016.

His lawsuit claimed Senft made fun of him in an email to the liberal studies department in May 2017 -- one day after he tweeted about a “deplorable prof”-related advance from a publisher, the Post added.

Bishop, Frost and Moore are among those accused of making disparaging remarks.

Frost allegedly said Rectenwald was a “right-wing misogynist,” while Bishop allegedly claimed Rectenwald arrived at staff meetings “high and incoherent with your tongue sticking out the side of your mouth.”

“It’s very painful to be accused of things that you haven’t done and have no basis in fact,” Rectenwald told the newspaper.

A NYU spokesman told the Post, “This lawsuit is without merit.”

The university and the other defendants did not immediately respond to Fox News' requests for comment.

lmao

good production joke at the very end of this latest one

this guy was doomed from birth by the surname 'rectenwald', honestly
