You guys aren’t getting it. Yeah it’s not deep but it’s direct and honest and sometimes it’s funny. Some of the stuff they say is dumb or ignorant but even they would own up to that.
The reality of the situation is that every hobby for men is dominated by right wing chuds. There are left leaning creators (who are generally more talented) in the same spaces but thanks to social media algorithms they're far less popular.
Honestly I don’t think these guys are the right wing chuds you think they are. Or your definition of that is different from mine. Granted I did not know these guys 3 hours ago and have seen a total of about 60 minutes of the podcast but seriously. These are not the chuds you’re looking for….
You can be both an idiot and believe something totally honestly. Two things can be true. But you are right, we aren’t getting it. It’s so hard to relate to this and react in a logical way when these guys care more about how they and their buddies feel than facts. I’m so lost.
I disagree - those are 2 different things. Also the point is not about the content as much as the approach to today's news stories...i.e. what do you really think about this thing that someone did/said? Is it legit? Is it BS? Is it dumb? Why do you agree or disagree with XYZ?
Which isn't news! it's just gossip /opinions but it's often even bad, bullshit version of them! If you aren't first informed about something what you think is meaningless it's acting/talking on 100% assumption & first impulse. A GROWN person should know that level of response is worthless!
Think of it as a Gen Z guy version of the View. Same concept to talk about today’s news and react to it. Is the View (which my wife loves) also just BS and gossip?
First off those pod casts arent new. 2nd That's literally a gossip show... Not a news show. Yes. The view is also just bs and gossip and has been called out on misinfomation and talking bullshit alot of times 🤨 .
That's the problem, people think that but No, it isn't. At best it's acting like they are informed on something when they are not, that is not honesty! If you aren't informed a honest answer would be "I don't know enough about this to comment" anything else is actually dishonest.
No I disagree. They aren’t even claiming to be fully informed (which is honest - lots of could it be this?) Initial discussion on the Musk salute…all agreed it was bad look but debated whether it was Nazi. News was covered (musk salute) and discussion ensued. The format is what Mark is highlighting
If its not nazi why is it a bad look😑?He knows what the salute is&what it looks like,his dad has said his grandparents were literally pro the nazi party, he has spoken out in support of a german far right extremist party&boosted literal nazis. Giving evil men the benifit of the doubt is stupidity.
So you didn't watch the response video to Shxtsngigs' apology video for not pushing back against Schultz's racist stereotypes about black women where Flagrant took zero responsibility for the ignorant shit that came out of Schultz's mouth?
Agree - this is like anything else. Dumb it down, don’t be too controversial, don’t put too much thought into it, be entertaining and enthusiastic and get people to watch.
They are just trying to make money like seemingly every Kardashian ever born.
It was a bit of an exaggeration. I'm very familiar with the "Pewdiepipeline." Steve Bannon wrote a how to guide on how to use video games as a tool for radicalization.
If you're talking about the dudes on the Flagrant podcast, one has a degree from a good university, and the other was at a good university studying to be a doctor before quitting to pursue comedy. I really hate the content they're talking about, but it's ludicrous to call them illiterate.
And FWIW before the 2024 election, I would've pegged both of these guys as moderate Dems based on the moderate Dem values they constantly espoused when I used to watch around 2022. In fact, I think they both voted for Biden in 2020.

I get it.
Whatever it takes, let's get it done, please.

They should be banned
To be fair, most games have pretty clear narratives of who the bad guys are... if only they'd play the campaigns...
