Careercow Reuben Baron - Smart Bisexual Stuttering Clever-man

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I know this is slightly off topic, but I watched the Johnny Depp Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas film last night, because Netflix and nothing better to do and remembering Reuben's massive mancrush for Hunter S. Thompson. What exactly is it that Ruben sees in this guy? Unless this film is a poor representation of Hunter's life work, it seems just like he went around doing inhuman amounts of drugs and abusing what little authority and charm he had when he partied too hard. Is that what "Gonzo Journalism" was? Just getting out of your skull on ether and wandering around with a violent thug lawyer and fucking with people? I can see why Reuben liked the guy if I'm interpreting this correctly. Watching the film kinda reinforced for me what a tool Reuben is, trying to pass off his shitty attempt at coercing a confession out of a mentally abnormal individual under the guise of a "recognized form of alternative investigation" which in practice seemed to simply be being an asshole on a lot of drugs.

I wonder what Hunter S. Thompson would write if he was tasked today with reporting on GamerGate.
Stop whatever it is you're doing and just read Fear and Loathing. Fuck the film, the book is a bonafide classic; it's hilarious.

Seriously. Right this minute.

Well right that minute (and this) I'm technically at work, so....

But I'll see if I can pick up a cheap copy for the kindle or something.

Reuben was the best straight man Jace ever had.

Kind of ironic, since he's queer as a football bat.

I think FaN was the best straight man Jace ever had.

Oh shit. I've made plenty of donations, most of them recently in response to stuff I see on the forums here.
Thanks @Null, thanks holden! Because of you guys, I'm causing autism!
 
Good find. Thanks for sharing.

Haven't watched the whole thing, but isn't he protesting that anti-pedo Japanese legislation?
 
did some digging here is one of the two talks Reuben gave during the Boston Anime 2012, it's fuckin cringey. (already have a copy archived)

Every time he does that goat bleat stutter I feel so embarrassed for him. He sounds like Torgo.

Oh, is that what he's talking about?

... I couldn't tell between the boring and the stutter.

Especially cringey for me. Minus the stutter (and hopefully the boring), I have that same sort of nerdy drawl. Granted, mine is an RP/public school English nerdy drawl, which makes me classier than Reuben's NY hipster nerdy drawl. But the overall timbre of my voice is strikingly similar to Reuben's.

And now I am feeling deeply ashamed. G-d damn you, Reuben. This is all your fault.
 
He might redeem himself somewhat if he interviews Jan again, but I'm not sure if he can conduct a proper interview.
He's far too involved to give a proper interview, even if there was another one it'd probably just go like the last one with Ruben trying to get Jan to admit he needs to go to jail for threatening Wu as well as repeating everything in those Gamergate articles against Jan.
