So I'm guessing the part where he uses the n-word freely and yells at trans people about their own genders is stuff that's outside of "for the most part."

Other than that shit he's a progressive.

and such.

Was that also a life-changing event?

Are you white, straight, male and middle class (or at least currently comfortable, even if you came from less fortunate beginnings)?

Because honestly, that's what comes to mind every time I read a post defending Rogan.

And in the interests of disclosure, I am nonwhite (Asian), straight, male and middle class.

You need to listen to some better podcasts.

That assertion was laughable.

He’s also an anti-trans bigot and a promoter of pseudoscience. But he smokes weed so he must be a hero.

on the Internet. Sorry, but I'm not tempted to delve in any farther.

You said he's a "passionate defender of climate change," by the way. That's pretty unclear. Does he like climate change or is he fighting it? Your statement makes it sound like he thinks climate change is just great.

Sorry, but I'm not convinced - not even a little bit.

BTW: Up Manchester City!

He's right wing and gives platform to nutters like Ted Nugent.

Fuck Rogan. Anybody he endorses who accepts it is persona non grata in my book.

I remember hearing that to describe him at one point.

The MMA writer Sydnie Jones is just one of them.

And looooves to call Cris Justino (aka Cyborg, WMMA Featherweight) an "It," "Shemale," etc. She is a cis woman, so transphobia and misogyny all wrapped up into one steaming pile of shit.

He also sucks as an MMA commentator, too, and I have no idea while they still use him.

The 30-something, video gaming addicted nerds at work, who all live in their Mom's basements and think that
trash like the "Proud Boys", and neo nazis are "OK", seem to all have man-crushes on Joe Rogan.

That's pretty much all I need to know about the guy.

I'm sorry those guys like proud boys neo Nazis or even Joe Rogan but not all of us 30 something's who like video games as a hobby are into neo Nazis. I'm very anti racist myself.

I'm tired of all these blowups over endorsements. I support Sanders because he wants to expand social security among many other issues. I'm sick of people like Cenk & Joe Rogan derailing Sanders campaign over an endorsement. Just my .02

That's the sort of video gamer that likes him.

Also right wing politics in general. For example when Nancy Pelosi correctly said it was false that video games are responsible for mass shootings they still defended Trump saying Pelosi forced him to blame video games.

Most people in my generation have played video games not just the right wing misogynists. I could go into detail but they were the beginnings of the alt right.

I was referring to these characters at work. I called them "video game addicted" because it's all they talk about, outside of worshiping the likes of Rogan, Alex Jones, et al. They think they're real life gangsters from "Grand Theft Auto".
They are walking, talking stereotypes. They're know-it-alls about everything they've never done, such as supporting themselves, raising children, owning anything, you name it. The nerdsplaining is the most hilarious part.
And, of course, everything wrong with the World is "Boomer's fault"...

Did he ever retract that?

Why does anyone like this guy?
