Cracked's complete total lack of self awareness
-
(continued from some discussion about Jeff)
And speaking of complete and total lack of self awareness, this popped up on a YouTube "recommended" sidebar:
-
I intentionally avoid clicking on clickbait because clickbait needs to die.

Hence why the screenshot is of the sidebar "you may want to watch this video", rather than the video's page itself (which would have required me to click on the clickbait bait).

Woah now, don't give them any ideas! Just one level of clickbait is enough for me.

I think the people at Cracked know exactly what they're doing. You may be a little too old to be their target demographic, however. For my money, they're unlikely to ever top the article on prog-rock:
http://www.cracked.com/funny-2359-progressive-rock/
"fuck it. We're going to yodel for a few minutes."
-
Wow, never saw that one. I'd get butthurt over their characterization of ProgRock, except, well, they make some damn good points. Eh, that's what makes for horse races; what they seem to dislike about ProgRock is exactly what most fans like about is so, de gustibus.
-
Yeah...there's some prog-rock that I like and some I don't. But I don't care who you are, that shit's funny.
-
Yeah, if they weren't damn right about that I'd be pissed too.
And is Van der Graaf Generator an obscure band, really?
-
At the risk of whooshing, I've only ever heard of them before now in that article.
Not..that...I'm admitting to not being a fan, of course. What sort of music nerd do you take me for‽
-
No, no, it's okay. Good to know my hipster cred stands strong.
-
... sadly I agree with Boomzilla.
Cracked does have some crap content, but they also occasionally have AMAZING guest spots where they interview, say, people who have been dirt poor all their lives, or people who just got released from prison, or what-not.
The good stuff is well-worth wading through the chaff.
Also their "bullshit your friends shared on Facebook this week" or whatever it's called series is good for debunking bullshit.
-
My favorite article of theirs:
They have been going pretty damned SJW for a while now, so I am surprised they haven't taken down that article yet...
-
AND THAT IS A BAD THING OF COURSE! GAMER GAEETTETEE!
<penis>
-
I DEMAND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU PICK THE SAME SJW/RAPIST SIDE AND STICK TO IT
I seriously can't keep track of which side you're on.
(... Or maybe it's just Blakey who keeps hopping between the extremes of both sides?)
-
When it comes to which side I am on, I am generally considered to be a misanthrope.
-
(... Or maybe it's just Blakey who keeps hopping between the extremes of both sides?)
... the fuck?
And you people wonder why I came up with the concept of "shoulder aliens".
-
Yeah, no idea where he came up with that. You are just generally disagreeable.
-
So which side are you on?
I always assume you're on the anti-SJW side since you're hateful a lot (and not SJW-hateful, but regular person hateful)
But you occasionally make pro-SJW statements (like this, and some fat comic I recall you posting).Tossing aside the possibly you're a complex human being, decide which side you're on, already!
-
My favorite article of theirs:
That's a good one, too. It validates my existence. But no "fuck it, let's yodel."
AND THAT IS A BAD THING OF COURSE!
Duh.
-
So which side are you on?
I don't believe there are two "sides" to be on in the first place. If you've read ANYTHING I've written on the subject, you'd know that.
-
Pick a side!!!

-
Pick a side!!!
THAT'S BIPHOBIC!!1!!!!1!1!ONEONEONE!!!1!
Filed Under: I was never very good at this making up your mind thing anyway...
-
Except with LISP...
-
Pick a side!!!
Wait, which side is OK with raping trans women again? Or getting raped by trans women? Or NOT getting raped by trans woman? Or-- umm, look I really wasn't paying that close attention to the thread.
Filed under: I was too busy having sex with and/or murdering trans and/or cis men and/or woman

LOL...RSM turns Baldwin's classic rant against a couple of PUAs whose blogging of their "exploits" is coming back to bite them in the dicks:
-
WTF article is that?
"PUA are bad because they give feminists ammo that all men are pigs. If you're going to be a PUA, don't publicize it because then it just lets women catch on to the tricks. And also, if you're going to fuck around (because we're just men), be smart and don't get caught".
Huh?
-
Geez, if that's all you took from the article, you wasted your time reading it.
-
And is Van der Graaf Generator an obscure band, really?
yes it is. even among self-called "music nerds"

Huh?
It's the blog post that I linked. Did you have an actual question? Are you confused by someone being facetious like saying, "Don't go knock over mailboxes and post the video on facebook?"
Did you get to the Glengarry Glen Ross part?
Are you some sort of PUA apologist?

I think he's trying to take the feminist position here and claim that RSM's...well, whatever, you can fill in your own adjectives and nouns. cisnormative heterofascist etc.
-
cisnormative heterofascist etc.
You forgot transmisogynist. And as a transwoman, I am offended.

Careful, that's a summoning phrase...
-
Just don't say it three times.

No, it was right there with the "etc".
If you want to kill a joke, just say so. The effect is the same really.

I'm just trying to get you to up your game.

it, it, it... Nope, doesn't work.
Maybe... No, that can't work, can it?
it three time
-

Okay I am sorry but that's a SJW viewpoint. (Almost by definition!)
You have previously displayed strong Dog-Person tendencies.Either admit that PUAs have nothing to apologize for, or admit that you're in the SJW camp.
I will accept no other response so don't even try.

That's racist against opinion-fluid people.
-
You can't form an ideology without alienating some group of people.
I chose opinion-dodgers.

As a transwoman, this is all very offensive to me.

I'm faaaaaabulous.
