I know this is probably nit-picking but at around 3:30 of the
new Dick Show episode, he makes an over-used joke about Shaun King and then claims to have made it up just then.
He was joking about taking credit for the joke. That's why he hammered home about "oh gee I came up with it by thinking about what would rhyme with Malcom and is white!"
It's not a great joke, but getting on him for taking credit for "Talcum X" just makes you look autistic. He does and says so much dumb shit that there's zero need for bad-faith intentional density.
I managed to get eighteen minutes in before I found a safe spot to pull over and switch to something else.
People ask frequently, "why would anyone listen to this show? It's just a guy screaming." To them I say that three years ago, he put this sort of performative anger into complaining about round shoelaces, or people not using coasters. It was formulaic, but it was fun.
Now he just screams about either something that genuinely hurts his feelings, like being denounced as a creepy manbaby, or politics. It's zero fun listening to three hours of a drunk pedo apologist melt down about how he donated two dollars to a charity.
On that subject-- it's unsettling that he assumes anyone who disapproves child porn must be projecting because they're impotent and lonely. It made my skin crawl to hear the implication, "you're just jealous that you don't have your own child to rape."
He was on twitter earlier this week equating pedophilia with homosexuality, and now he's doing it on his show. So much for "most of Dick's fans aren't on twitter; it won't affect his audience."
Dick is also incorrect about pedophobes forming only five percent of his audience. From how much his patreon dropped, the percentage of his fans who are opposed to child pornography seems to be closer to two.
Makes me very glad I never felt the need to go to any of his live shows.
