Steve harvey is a fucking piece of shit who hates atheist, is homophobic, encourages guys cheating, is sexist, advocates rape and thinks guys and girls can’t just be friends i am sure there is more than that but this is what i have found please feal free to tell me and i’ll add it
Why has it become normal to list a public figure’s sins when they’re the subject of a meme?
Counterpoint. Why was it not normal before.
It walks and talks like hatred and grudge-holding, which isn’t exactly healthy.
Tbh it’s this fact that makes me glad I’ve done nothing to enter the public consciousness. I’d rather not be remembered for my countless mistakes and bad takes.
Learning from mistakes and bad takes is an admirable thing, it’s a part of what defines one’s character.
Steve Harvey is just a giant piece of shit.
Why has it become normal to beg the question
I beg your pardon?
Why do you presuppose it has become normal? Have you seen this often? It’s the first time I’ve seen it myself, and I am genuinely browsing memes too often for my health.
I guess it’s not hugely common, but it still happens and nobody seems to question it. Like not too long ago with Lovecraft, for example.
That’s funny shit though, if you talk about how HP Sauce named his cat a hard R slur, that’s just good small talk.
I’m only fighting you on this because I like to acknowledge the darker side of our cultural touchstones. For example I still listen to Thriller, but I never forget MJ might have fucked those kids. I mean, come on. It’s a bop.
There’s a difference between acknowledging it and feeling like you should let everyone know any time it’s brought up.
As a person involved in creative works, I don’t think this is healthy in the long run. If a fella was a bigot once, and you denounce them every time they’re brought up, that comes off as you saying they shouldn’t be allowed to do creative work because they were a bigot once.
On a personal level, I don’t really have as much to fear from that because I’ve never been a hater (though I’ve certainly said things in the past that can be misconstrued.) But I work with teams. I have a concern that one day, one of my teammates on one of my favorite projects might get exposed for something I had no way of knowing, that might have only occured years before I met them, and then the reputation of that project is going to be forever tainted. That could be hundreds of hours of work and passion down the drain.
I think I get that… I’ve had a few friends complain about how you can’t get the space jam album anymore because of some shit about one of the artists, or so the record stores have told them. I don’t remember all of it but some tracks at least we’re also ‘a bop’ like the other person said, but I guess MJ is bigger than a bunch of mixed artists with one(?) bad apple.
This is just my personal version of “death of the artist”. You have to separate the art from the artist, but that doesn’t mean we give them a free pass imo
I can respect that you don’t torch the art for the sins of the artist, but not everyone feels the same way. Remember the drama around Hogwarts Legacy?
Because American politics has become so barren of thought and nuance that even interacting with content containing specific images will be highlighted as support for that thing. So you can’t use memes with people you disagree with unless the meme is showing how you want to disrespect them.
And American politics continues to poison the internet “well” like the dead body it is because America has a lot of guns is looking more and more unstable by the day.
Agendas
Because I hate him, so you should too. This person is bad, don’t laugh at any jokes, don’t think he has anything positive to him in any way.
Also, I’m very open-minded, inclusive to all, etc.
WAAAAAAHHHHHH they called someone out for literally encouraging rape and being a huge sexist pig sO mUcH FoR tOLerAnCe
Being a sexist piece of shit isn’t a protected a class and has nothing to do with tolerance.
