Bear with my Bluey autism because I think it's relevant: there is one character that's implied to be disabled in Bluey, and it's Bluey's cousin Socks.

I've heard this before (I'm pretty Bluey autistic, too) but I think it's just the consequence of cartoons not having consistency you would expect out of real life.

The youngest family member being a more literal dog is a joke that makes for funny situations, but it doesn't lend well to stories about babies and their development, so when they wanted to do that the babies acted like human ones.

If Bluey was released in the early 2000s I don't think anyone would take it as an indication of some kind of disorder; I think there was more of an understanding that cartoons are weird and do what they want for the sake of a plot/joke.

You know what, that's so true. I took it too autistically, while also bitching that people take it too autistically lol. I took the blue doggy cartoon too seriously 💔

Overall, I think if Bluey, as the main character, was supposed to be autistic or disabled or anything, they would've capitalized on the idea. Especially because visibility and equality and diversity are so prevalent, especially in kids media.

(From a writer's pov putting that type of stuff on a supporting character makes a lot more sense tho, especially because you can explain it in one episode if you need to and continue on with shenanigans next time)

I guess my point was that average Reddit posters cannot comprehend any media if it's not about them and their experiences and that's very bizarre to me.

I see this so much on Reddit, forcing characters to be trans or queer just because they themselves are trans or queer - even if it makes no sense in the context of the established world.

Or they'll have existing characters with the disabilities and flaws that they demand, but they'll just disregard that character and put the same things on their favorite character to "make the character better."


Like the same people unironically watch South Park and think this is an accurate Eric Cartman lol

overall, as I type this, it can just be boiled down to severe autism from Reddit. And possibly severe autism from myself 🤓

Adam Tots / Adam Ellis has been a fag for YEARS and I'm not surprised he's resorting to posting pandering jerk-off shit on Reddit.

I remember he used to be very maligned by places like comedycemetery back in the day when he still worked for Buzzfeed.

The normal viewpoint when it comes to life on reddit is
1) Life is a total random chance that happened in the universe.
2) Life is utterly pointless and non life is preferable

When you understand these people not only hate their lives but hate the fact life exists (because in their mind/worldview, the only point of life is to suffer), you see why they default to supporting murder and hedonistic life styles. They are all one bad day from an existential breakdown and suicide.

Redditor nihilism has always come off to me as this weak minded version of existentialist philosophy (think Neitzsche and Camus, in particular) that’s completely devoid of motivation or drive. The base is there, the idea that life is random, painful, and absurd, but that’s about it. Redditors are unable to deal with pain, they’re too soft to accept it and move forward (Camus) and they’re too lazy and self pitying to turn it into anything better or find actual meaning in their lives beyond self destructive hedonism (Neitzsche). All of that is also compounded by the fact that they spend all day reading intentionally depressing and fear mongering goyslop about politics and the state of the world, and billions of dollars in SSRI and HRT prescriptions, and you end up with some of the most miserable and isolated people you will ever come across.

I hate to harp on this because it feels like it gets brought up every single time the Internet’s negative effects on society are mentioned, but human beings were not meant to live like this. Redditors are a perfect example of why.

I have seen the Big I small I internet phrases thrown around before but I haven't been able to put the context together. I know dear feeder has mentioned it on MATI but I haven't heard it

As far as I know it's an original Josh-ism. He insists that their is only one, singular, globally interconnected Internet and it should be a capitalized proper noun unless/until governments manage to break our singular global network into smaller, not so interconnected, non-global (lowercase i) internets (in which case it wouldn't be a singular proper noun, and you'd have to specify which internet/whose internet you were referring to).

I would settle for a singular one with a joke, doesn't even need to be funmy, just an attempt

If you're expecting something humourous, the punchline simply won't land. Same idea as, "If you have to explain the joke..."

Anyway, about Adam Ellis: the way you guys are in complete seethe over some "influencer"/benign web comic artist is pure MATI behaviour. It's intentional ragebait that he puts up—specifically for embittered reactionaries (literally) who've got nothing better to do than "websurf" the front page of Reddit or x slop social media platform.

Here's the thing you retards don't seem to understand: if you all were to simply stop interacting with slop social media feeds and falling for the obvious ragebait, my nigga Adam would have to pack it up and get a real job once the ad revenue or whatever dries up. Until then, he can't really be considered a lolcow, but a winner—and you would be the losers, sitting here in Plato's cave going through the motions instead of earning a paycheque.

Ok.
 
r/gamingciclejerk about EA getting purchased by Saudi Arabia. But when r/conservative or r/asmongold point that kind of stuff they're "far right extremists".

Many of the comments were just "noooo, they'll remove gays from Sims!!"
 
Reddit being based again?
OP: What's up with Bill Burr being called a hypocrite?
In this thread, many, many comments are saying something to the effect of, "so sad that he sold out."

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

Now I know that the punch line of the joke wasn't included in the quote which basically was "I'd take the money too." So he's not quite a hypocrite, but what I want to know is whose money has he taken, or how has he "sold out" recently?

Edit: thanks for the responses everyone!

Answer: he is participating in a Saudi Arabian comedy tour that many feel is fundamentally at odds with ethical principles.

I think the problem with Burr particularly is it seems to be at odds with his own (apparent) ethical values

He had a bit where he criticized Beyonce for similarly taking money from qaddafi

Bill doesn't have consistent ethical values, neither does he portray himself as a morally righteous person.

He has a couple of views that have been consistent over the years and he feels passionately about, but in general, he shits on himself as well for not being a particularly great person, he's also called himself a hypocrite as well.

When he says ''What do I know, I just say random shit'', he's not really joking.

Some of his takes(about billionaires and CEOs and a couple other things) have gotten people to put him on a pedestal and now y'all are disappointed lol.

I’m late joining the party as a fan of Bill’s but I think you’re wrong when you state that he does not portray himself a moral person. It’s a major part of his schtick. He also criticizes himself for being a bad person but again, part of his schtick. (In doing so, he portrays himself as fallible thereby earning social credit which results in bigger laughs and increasing ticket sales). I don’t knock him for how he structured his persona but he’s not a mere working comedian who needs the bucks. These types of performances are strategically accepted or not.

It’s unfortunate. I like Bill, just not as much as before.

'When he says ''What do I know, I just say random shit'', he's not really joking. '
This is not a get out of jail free card. He is a comedian and should not be considered some ethical paragon but he is still a person and people get held to a base level of ethical standards.

There's more but it's another moment where I think of that Trump clip.
"Wow. I didn't know that. You're telling me now for the first time..."
 
Bill Burr's entire life for the past decade or so has been a self inflicted humiliation ritual so this is just more of the same.

I think Josh is moreso digging his heels in on the definition of "Internet", where he's making the distinction between the original definition of it being a communication medium between computer networks, and the proper noun it is now which usually refers to the information and services hosted. So he will often be a smartass and say things like "which one?" when someone uses "the internet", when they meant the proper noun.

TL;DR: It's 50% autism, 50% stubborness.

What I find funny is they want to downplay how fervent the trannies and social-liberals are, but will overexeggerate the "threat" conservatives and the right play in society- As if every single republican is single-handedly carrying out the """trans genocide""" or arming for some civil war.

On a side note, I was just browsing Reddit front page while logged out earlier. I like doing this to see what normal users or whatever are seeing on the front page.
A thing ive noticed on reddit is how many communities and subreddits get co-opted into the Social Liberal trans shit. We all know that a large clique of Reddit mods run most large subreddits, divying them up like fuedal societies.
It disgusts me that you have a subreddit for a game you like, and all of a sudden it gets LGBT shit forced onto it. I could overlook it (even if I disliked it) when it was "pride month" but then a lot of subreddits specifically kept the LGBT icons and banners and stuff to mock and insult anyone who called it out. I remember seeing some announcement somewhere saying that the trans icon thing on some game subreddit would stay the same until nobody was complaining anymore.
It's disgusting that this is getting shoved onto communities with no connection or reason to have the faggotry in it.

Atleast the EU4 & 5 / Paradox Plaza subreddits havent been touched, thats practically the only reason I made a reddit account.

Reminds me of last year when I saw a tranny in the ultrakill subreddit, attempting to groom some kid who made a post there about trans shit, asking for their discord. And then telling them about HRT's and how to make or get one, worst part is, I know very well the mods won't do shit either because their trannies themselves.
