You can't say anything here without being barraged with hate unless it aligns extremely left. I know it's sort of off topic, but just sayin'.
People always say this, but what gets you outright banned? Examples?

I seriously expect some mild background entertainment, I suppose. But no I really don't take the meat-head comedian "seriously" in most understandings of the word.
People are really into this "don't give a platform" stuff, but I love listening to people I don't agree with so that I can know what they really say and why I really disagree with them. I'm not saying it's not problematic... but there are motivations to listen to fringe views so that you can understand the political landscape. Maybe I'm the one who's going to use that knowledge to write an assessment of the right in Slate, you know?
Is phase four some verified account tweeting out that NeoGAF doesn't matter?Thread has entered phase three.
Okay so Bill Maher is ignorant to the facts. I guarantee u if he knew beforehand all about transgenders he wouldn't have slipped up like that. Not a lot of people know xyz about transgenders as it's a relativity fresh dataset in the minds of people (especially celebs).
No matter how I phrase or rephrase the above tho I just look like a transphobe sympathizer tho which is entirely not what I'm saying so if u are raging throughout my whole post my apologies (srs, I am for LGBT rights)

The natural selection thing was a joke, further exasterbated by my avatar pulling u deeper into my realmOkay? What does that have to do with natural selection? And being 'outraged'? Can you please type out your points instead of vaguely gesturing towards them?
You're right, I was typing too fast. I meant to put transgendered people, no disrespect. I'd feel some type of way if someone called us blacksFor example: You don't call people "transgenders"
My entirety of comments ITT. In other words, if I'm not 100% with u verbatim I'm against uYep and why do you think that is?

I can kind of forgive Maher because his issue is agism really; he's in his fuckin' sixties. People don't change their ways or views at that point.
He probably never knew or grew up with the understand of transgendered people as many of us do.
We can fault him for this and especially because he should try to "keep up" on his guests. He's done it for some, and not others. You'd figure with Milo he'd dig a bit.
Thread has entered phase three.
But not everything thinks like you do. Just look at the comment section at the amount of people that agree with the guest and are glad he was given a platform... for 2 and half hours.

I've been banned twice in almost quick succession (maybe 3 times but honeslty I forgot).People always say this, but what gets you outright banned? Examples?

Listen, I'm left, always have been, but the way people are treated here with different views is terrible, and I'm not going to dig up examples. During the election I expressed my displeasure with Hillary and Trump plenty of times, but my views on Hillary being a terrible candidate were flamed.
Lmao.
We certainly have. And we already had this discussion in another old thread. But hey, don't let me get in the way of your hot take.ITT: Hot takes by a bunch of people who didn't even attempt to listen to the podcast and probably didn't actually read any of the document written by Damore
I still continue to be baffled at how Rogan and his podcast became so popular. The guy I know most from Fear Factor has one of the most listened to podcasts out there.

I did and the analogy wasn't effectively countered either dude. We are talking platforms. And which has more exposure? Joe Rogan or CNN?
He had fucking Richard Spencer and the KKK on there and I had never even heard of Richard Spencer before watching that show so how am I wrong? Issa platform afterall
Dude, dude. Alt-right IS the "extreme right." Like, they literally came up with the term because white nationalist was too on the nose.
dude, Richard Spencer is the person who came up with the label "alt-right", explicitly to make his white nationalist views more palatable to the mainstream.

Nothing works like this. The video is going to get a million views, and probably a few million downloads or whatever. A few dozen people pointing out where he's wrong on an internet forum aren't going to take anything away from his massive, mostly right-leaning audience willing to eat up anything he or his guests say.
How long until phase 4 () ?ie. "I'm out"
I'll murder a Marxist over horse armor DLC."Cultural Marxism has shown a chink in its armor by attacking/rousing the titan that is gaming culture."
Not even gaming community or industry.
Its culture.
It's not ageism, it's egoism. His opinions are his opinions and damn everyone. When folks talk about the cartoonish liberal elite, Mahr is that in living form
I think Milo got some push back from one of the guests (I don't exactly remember when), but that's another issue with putting these types of guys on your show. You have a time limit, you have topics to get to, etc. You can't keep stopping every 3 seconds to correct or argue with someone over every little thing they say. So Milo got away with a lot.
But also Bill should know better when it came to the transgender comment.
I always assumed Damore never read it or he'd be dead from embarrassment by now.ITT: Hot takes by a bunch of people who didn't even attempt to listen to the podcast and probably didn't actually read any of the document written by Damore
Also, can I just say that when Rogen has these right wing guys on his podcast, he never argues against them, its just a steady string of "Yep, you're right, gotcha." and then Joe starts offering them examples that bolster their shitty beliefs.
It's fucked and it's not him being a comedian, HE AGREES WITH THESE PEOPLE.
I do see the point there. That's true. I'm always surprised by how many people are fully on board with not just Rogen but Rubin, Milo, Adam Carolla, whatever show, etc. They're always irony watches for me... or maybe a little bit like research into fringe groups. You know, sometimes I agree with what's being said. Sometimes I'm seething with rage or rolling my eyes or gagging a little bit.
You're right that he doesn't need to but don't act like he's some sort of avid Trump Supporter. He's a centrist that like's to bring in controversy and his show get's more popularity bc everyday there needs to be a new thing to get upset about (whether it be from a real place or not).(Nope)
You were talking about how rogan is more than his headlines. -- saying that people get the wrong idea. That's nonsense and you know it.
I listen to him, he's about as transparent as you can be when it comes to his core beliefs. I mention platform, and I should add normalizing it amount people like yourself that see no issue with it. I'm not saying he should be censored. But I know what to expect when it comes to real topics with mr.rogan.
Regardless of you being (black) or not, Rogan genuinely doesn't grasp the issues. Why something would be controversial outside of the window dressing of "let's see what this Google guy has to say, seems interesting." That much is clear with his most recent bizzare pepe defense force team 6.
But let's not act as if it's just about giving someone a platform. Trump won, white supremacists are running over people, and gamer gate neckbeards hate women. Joe doesn't know any better. Because he doesn't need to, and never has likely in his life.

Lmao.
This site is censored and heavily leans left. Is this an argument now? "Terrible" may be up for interpretation but it's definitely more of a 100vs1 scenario in this regard"Trust me guys there are examples but I am not going to post them... but they totally exist."
so instead we hone in on something a lot less significantl
Because he's very popular and the issues those threads are about are generally more serious than the ones you've mockingly listed.Neogaf: Joe Rogan, pets an alt-right kindergartner

Neogaf: Joe Rogan, totally sucks Conor's **** to hype Mayweather fight!
Neogaf: Joe Rogan at it again!

Most people here don't agree with Joe Rogan's views. Why so many threads?
