Used to drink them at school


If anyone in this thread hasn't read every word of this advert, they are missing out so hard.

...I totally remember Ed(d?) the Duck. Also Andy Peters singing over the Ninja Turtles theme, which nearly made me Taz out with impotent child rage. The song was great, and he ruined it. I hope he gets his knighthood taken away.

David Letterman looked exactly the same for decades and then he stopped hosting late night and turned into fucking Santy Claus. Still pisses me off.
That's like some different type of reverse milkshake duck.

Like... you liked George Carlin for his comedy. Then in the last years of his life he played the role of a cute duck drinking milkshakes.
 
Notch just tweeted that "Pizzagate is real," reminding me that even though he made a cool game he turned out to be a horrible shit stain of a person.

the guy is a total moron and basically tweets like an /r/the_donald poster

nothing he says make sense and he has a real "checkmate libtard" vibe to everything he says.
 
Mentioned in detail earlier in the thread but he's a hardline stan for the CCP.
Do you mean the CPC?

Nothing hugely wrong with that. at least not enough to be a milkshake duck. CPC has done a lot of good as well as a lot of bad.

that's not any worse than being a Republican honestly

worlds better than being a republican but I wouldn't rank it as being a particularly progressive position.

Shay carl - I went through a phase of watching YouTube vloggers (yea I know, don't judge me). Shay was one of the first and his whole gimmick was that he was a family man. Then I just read about this..

https://www.reddit.com/r/SHAYTARDS/comments/5to8bd/shaycarl_sexting_a_cam_girl/

Whoa. This one is one of the few in this thread that surprised me. I used to watch a few of his videos a long time ago (along with Charles Trippy when he had gotten engaged/married?), then I stopped for reasons I can't remember.

For all I knew, Shay Carl and his family were still out there making their daily videos, so to see this is rather shocking, to say the least.

John Wayne.

granted, he died before I was born. But I was a budding cinema nerd even at a young age, finding out how little he would have resembled his heroic characters was a splash of cold water. Of course he got famous for a crapload of films that are problematic to begin with, but nobody has to feel guilty for liking Jimmy Stewart decades later on.

Theres a list of the shit he done/said?

I wanna know pls.
 
Notch at this point tweeted basically everything people already mentioned for other people in this thread

...and more like this weirness

Jesus Christ fuck Notch with a rusty spoon. How stupid can you be?

Feel like some people are stretching "milkshake duck" to be "I liked this celebrity until we had this minute disagreement over something and now I hate them." Looking at the Rowling mentions.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Lostprophets.

Specifically Ian Watkins (the other guys don't deserve the hate). Fuck that guy.

No, he's a cocksplat, this isn't the first time he's said something like that, his twitter feed is full of it, some worse. He's a full on "red pilled" white supremacist, MRA arsehole. He doesn't want to be left alone with it, he revels in it, especially when people agree with him.

I'd say Japan. You see all the media coming from there, especially the videogames which pretty much dominated everything for many years but then you learn about the extreme xenophobia, the problematic human rights records, the lacking sense of wrong about WW2, the weak democracy and that the justice system in Ace Attorney is less of an exaggeration than you thought...

And of course the author of Felidae. Not enough that the movie of the book terrorizes children throughout the country, the guy himself is a prominent speaker at neonazi and Pegida rallies despite being an immigrant himself...

Nah, Rowling's said some shitty stuff lately when it comes to politics; if it was just over her inane additions to Harry Potter lore that'd be a bit of an overreaction but it's more than that.

Bill Cosby.

Never loved his politics or condescending take on blue humor, but he was a brilliant storyteller and Billy Cosby Himself was one of the best albums of all time. All completely worthless now that we know he's a serial rapist.

I'm guessing her basically being Queen of the centrists. Or maybe because she's very anti Independence.

I mean I dislike her opinions on a ton of things but wouldn't say it warranted being a milkshake duck at all.

Yeah, not milkshake duck worthy. She's not a racist, she's not a criminal, etc, etc.

She's also the only person to ever lose billionaire status directly because of charitable donations.

A lot of people say boogie is a milkshake duck for the same reason, being a centrist.

Any examples? All I have ever seen her do really is lay into Trump and Republicans horrible policies.
 
Louis CK is getting dangerously close.

He's progressive, but not echo-chamber level. He recognizes white and male privilege. He's insightful. He's a good parent and offers great parenting advice through his philosophy. He's clever. He seems to work hard at his craft.

Please don't be a sexual abuser. Please.

you do know the allegations against him, right?

You're a big guy.

A lot of people didn't like that she was not a fan of Corbyn. She was still anti-Tory, but didn't think Corbyn had it. Personally she was in the right - all the evidence prior to the election campaign suggested he was incompetent if well meaning. Then they ran an excellent campaign.

Also, I believe she is anti-Scottish Independence, which winds up people in favour of it.

Basically she hasn't done anything bad.

Boogie isn't actually a centrist though. He's chummy with sexists and clearly supports them, but he uses the claims of centrism to do so while keeping up his innocent act. He may have also weaponized his depression at least once to shut down a conversation arguing against sexists.


Regarding Notch. I have no interest in Minecraft, so basically any time I hear about him it's because he's said some fucking awful thing. Do you remember when he tried to blackmail a woman to win an online conversation? Not even a heated one. She politely disagreed with him on Twitter and he threatened to reveal something from some time she was at a party of his. To be fair, he apologized afterward and acknowledged that what he did was fucked up. But when you combine the fact that he regularly says awful shit with the fact that awful behaviour is his natural response to normal social situations, Notch starts to look like he's Dr. Jekyll; losing a battle to retain any shred of his human decency.

Phil ruined the opening animation for hardworking, TV-licence-paying children, but at least he didn't sing over the music. Andy Peters went for a full sensory assault, and I hope in 100 years he is remembered only in Krampus or Slendermanesque myths as a creature who steals music from children.


Back on the Milkshake Duck train, I feel old movies and shows that you go back to as an adult and find out were actually incredibly homophobic, transphobic, or racist need a kind of subcategory. Here's an example I recently discovered while trying to desensitise myself to Zelda from Terrahawks, in the hopes of diminishing the frequency of the recurring nightmares she still induces in me.

Warning: horrific fake Asian accents, and disturbing space-witch imagery.

Idk much about jk rowling but boogie is more than a centrist, or at least he's a centrist by American standards. The dude defended meeting in the middle with white supremacists.

I just found out vetern, iconic Pinball designer John Trudeau has been arrested for possessing child porn.

Very upsetting, I love a lot of his games.

listen to the mad man
It's a little self righteous but Notch just wants to be left alone with this stuff.

guide to how to be left alone:
1. don't tweet 18 hours a day about the stuff you don't want to talk about
2. there literally is no second step, literally the only step is to not do that.

Doug TenNapel is definitely the one that sticks out for me, and I'm not sure why. I liked EWJ, mostly for the creative aesthetics, but I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan (and I never could get past that bit worth the underwater glass bubble things, seriously fuck that level).
I think it's just because his bigotry is so damn egregious. It's not just some naive minor celebrity who shouldn't have been given a platform revealing his unexamined bigotry. There's an unpleasant glee to his homophobia; he seems to extract real pleasure from making people feel bad. He feels like a genuine villain... or at least he would, were it not for his pitiful habit of magically showing up to argue in any comment thread that mentions his name. The man must be Googling himself daily.

Oh yeah, good example.
