Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan?

Joe Rogan is a bigot. If your friend subscribes to bigot content, they probably harbor some bigoted beliefs. Any sane, non-bigoted person would recognize the fucked up shit that gets platformed on his content.

You mean our comment threads are crashing the post somehow?

It gets in the Rule 5 area. Already removed enough comments.

Users kept calling people bigots without evidence, but you’ve only removed the comments requesting evidence of bigotry rather than the unsupported original insults.
That reaction is not in accordance with the posted rules of NSQ.

Thank you.

No he isn’t, and you’ve provided no evidence for this, you’re just wildly ranting buzzwords.
Rogan says dumb things regarding covid, but he has the opportunity to interview some amazing people and many significant conversations are part of his podcast history.

The longer you throw a tantrum without any evidence, the less convincing you are.
Rogan says he supports LGBT rights, gay marriage, racial equality, so if you’re going to swing the word bigot around like you know what it means, try providing evidence.

Bigot is a strong word for him. I guess if you are pro-trans athletes in sports you would find him that way, but I can’t really think of other issues where he expresses close minded views? Fucking guy learns and changes his mind when presented with evidence, which is a huge reason I can listen to him. Even if some of the subjects and guests are kinda fucked up or dull or misinformed.
Like, tulsi gabbard last week reading a thing from the UN and totally either misunderstanding it, or worse, twisting it into saying something it 100% wasn’t. And Rogan was just kinda like “I dunno maybe” as he’s not very confrontational, very often.

I mean off the top of my head, he laughed at a friend who “joked” about coercing women in to giving blowjobs by threatening to withhold gigs from them, he’s hosted Jordan Peterson and Matt Walsh, the first “merely” transphobic, the second, a self confessed fascist and transphobe. He’s also suggested that supporting trans folk is a sign of society collapsing
As the person you’re replying to said, if someone subscribes to Rogan, they likely hold some bigoted beliefs, because the guy is absolutely a bigot.
