I feel like there is a whole group of gen x comedians who tried to mimic George Carlin, but only picked up the “edgy” part of his comedy and not the other traits that made Carlin so popular.

carlin's empathy was crucial and that had to be jettisoned
Exactly.
Oh also for some reason JBP thinks Elmo is in on the white genocide.
you would think he'd be most angry at kermit because of the voice thing
I think he embraced that, which is odd because people referring to you as Kermit kind of undermines your uberman persona.
On the other hand, maybe he recognized that everyone who aren't in his fan group consider him a clown, so association with kermit may add gravitas
JBP while withdrawing from benzos singing "It's Not Easy Being Clean."
he's right
I just don't get how they go through all this raging at children's media without at any point feeling like a giant fucking loser. But nah they're out there driving monster trucks raging about the woke sesame street and the whole time thinking "yeah I'm actually the ideal man"
I'm a hate fuck murder machine and I wonder why women don't want to date me, obviously it's the Jews.
Susy won't date me because her after school cartoons infected her with the woke mind virus. All my favorite classic rockers never had to deal with this bullshit.
The emotional draw here is, of course, that pretty girl who didn't want to sleep with you. The other ideologies don't explain why that happened. Fascism does. Because the commies pushed the king under a street car and now nothing in the world is holy or beautiful. During your stay in Revachol plenty of women will tell you no, so, naturally, most people will pick this one. I mean, who doesn't want “absolutely giant fascist” in their Steam achievements? Also, it goes really well with alcoholism
i didn't like barney when i was six. i don't think i've thought about barney in a couple decades.
They have power, money, and treats. And if they have none of those things, then the ones who do are telling them that they also have it and need to protect it, so they feel delusional.
nah fuck barney "i love you you love me we're a happy family" like no sometimes I'm angry at my family?? We're not always happy. Doesnt mean I dont love them, that shit really upset me when I was a kid.
Barney is annoying saccharine and promotes toxic positivity. Even when I was a kid I found him creepy and offputting. The hate for him ended up getting memeified and went way overboard but I at least get where it comes from.
Sesame Street I still have found memories of. It's had a cast of colorful fun characters who experienced a wide range of emotions and actually had to deal with problems actual children would face. Even the cynical Nick Mullen has a positive opinion of Sesame Street.
:(
Sorry I think this probably is some core memory because the only thing I remember about barney is that line and me hating him for it lol
"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way" is maybe a bit deep for a stuffed dinosaur though. But I get what you mean, Mr Rogers never shied from the presence of conflict in loving families.
Yeah but even if a kid cant put it to words it still feels invalidating.
okay but barney did do a really terrible bit whitewashing factory farming and teaching kids that hamburgers grow on trees
Barney: I love you, let's be kind to people.
Andrew Dice Clay: How about I fucking kill you, motherfucker?!
eyyyyooo Barney hows about you suck my fuckin cock? smokes cigarette what am i? lady gaga's father in this one movie? gethafuckouttaheyyuhh
The 90's did indeed suck.
That’s actually funny though
70% good Barney
Honestly I actually don't understand where this hatred comes from.
Is it because Sesame Street is considered "woke" now? Or is it because Michelle Obama was on it?
I think they had an episode about protests and chuds instantly jumped to the conclusion the show hates white people.
I'll have to dig for it

It's very strange to me that "manly" men get all sort of bent out shape when any sort of kindness is expressed in the zeitgeist. They somehow pride themselves in their belief that life is "Nasty, brutish and short" and should always be. Basic compassion and empathy expressed in any generally public sense sends American (especially suburban American men) into a frenzy.
They don't want you to promote being nice, want you promote "being stronger". The world doesn't need to be less shitty to them, you need to be tougher. It's a bleak mindset, and they say "The Left™©®" is a bunch of amoral godless savages or whatever. It's just really wild to think "Be kind 🤗" is somehow some sort of vile indoctrination in the eyes of CHUDS.
It's so weird. A children's education program promoting kindness should be about as "apolitical" as it gets. It's just bonkers to me that real-ass adults are bugging out online over it. The mind palace of the CHUD must be a goddamn wasteland of Mad Max barbarism.
It’s cope from the realization that life under capitalism is nasty, brutish and long.
But yet they also extoll the virtues of Jesus and the Christian bible. If God exists these people are going straight to hell
They all worship Satan.
i didn't know it was coming from chuds so I just assumed elmo coincided with a drop in the quality or educational value of the show, like they stopped using the 12 song or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMtGImlEmu0
This. I love sesame street and hate elmo
Reminds me of the way online gamers call anyone remotely co operative outside of a murder hobo guild a "carebear".
You know, the Small Bears who devote their life to protecting literal children from abuse, war, poverty, and mental illness, despite having almost no defensive weaponry to speak of.
the carebears gave me nightmares as a kid, like multiple times
The Care Bear Stare is an entirely offensive weapon and in most contexts its use constitutes a war crime
