    My red flag is writing someone off simply bc they watch a TV show (that they are most likely pre-judging and haven’t seen themselves). What do you bet half of those saying that have watched Jersey shore

      It isn’t a TV show it’s propaganda for idiots. You have to be predisposed to find that content interesting.

      Jersey Shore meanwhile is just utterly crap, but indicates nothing about personal politics.

      You might as well say you shouldn’t write someone off just because they wear a MEGA hat. Yes you bloody well should write them off.

        Have you actually watched a full episode of Joe Rogan? I’ll admit I haven’t seen it in years, but I’m starting to encounter all these tiktok kids running their mouths about it without having ever actually seen it.

        Jersey shore can tell plenty about someone’s personality. But still, I wouldn’t refuse to acknowledge that there’s good parts of a person simply bc they watch it.

          The dude repeatedly says stupid shit without fact checking and refuses to take responsibility for what he actually says. It’s “just entertainment” to tell terminally online people that there are litter boxes for trans kids at schools.

          Well this isn’t TikTok so I’m not sure what that’s about.

          I haven’t watched his output because why would I. But I have seen clips online whenever he says stupid shit which seems to be practically every 5 minutes.

          I don’t need to watch the content in detail to have an opinion, I’m allowed to have an opinion without being a dedicated viewer, that would be a ridiculous position, “You are not allowed to dislike something unless you watch it all the time” what the hell.

          I don’t know much, but what I’ve heard, doesn’t he invite people onto his show in a bad faith attempt to deconstruct their viewpoints instead of having an actual discussion or conversation?

          In any case, I’m not a fan of debate shows, especially if the people have unwavering and aggressive views. I deal with enough of that shit from my own family.

          In addition, false flaggers can go directly to hell. They have no intent of having constructive conversations, and instead wish to just aggressively attack people based on their own biases and bigotry.
