Joe Rogan's comments keep coming up in the context of discussion of this issue in recent news; many people are still mad. You've picked a poor example. https://www.salon.com/2021/10/18/tucker-carlson-joe-rogan-an...

Salon is not news, it's yellow journalism.

> FAKE NEWS

Interesting opinion, it doesn't change the fact that many people are still mad about Rogan's comments.

"Many" people is a weasel word, a couple dozen could qualify.

It's only an issue for the media-addicted and those who fill airtime for a living.

You seriously reply with two more links to yellow journalism. I can't tell if you're trolling or not, but that's three strikes, you're out.

I was pretty sure you wouldn't have any criticism more nuanced than "FAKE NEWS," but it's nice to see it confirmed.

I provided a few links because you're apparently unable to use search engines. If you were, you'd understand that people haven't forgotten Rogan's comments.

Thank you for agreeing, many (a word you used first) people are still upset about Rogan's comments, disproving your point that "none" are. If you have anything but blind speculation you're going on, feel free to provide it!

And as usual, you're wrong. You still haven't linked any study or non-yellow journalism that tries to objectively capture how "many" people are still mad at Joe Rogan.

>I provided a few links because you're apparently unable to use search engines.

A few links to fake news outposts that did not support your claim whatsoever. If you can't find a legitimate claim to your original statement, it can be dismissed outright. You still haven't found anything, and so you're claims are dismissed.

So in other words: Netflix will go on a hiring binge soon...

It may not be the truth some want to hear, but Netflix will likely be more than happy to identify "troublemakers" with this planned walkout, even if they're fantastically productive otherwise.

Many C-suite see themselves as leaders "going in to battle" leading an "army". The last things leaders tolerate in an army are deserters and overly objectionable types.

Study? You're hoping for a peer-reviewed science journal that published an article on who's offended by Joe Rogan?

The original claim was that the total number of people still offended by COVID-victim Joe Rogan's comments was "none." No evidence supports that claim, so we can dismiss it outright, like you said.

I've posted evidence to support mine, your defense is a thought-terminating cliché coined by a game show host.

I think Dave has done a lot of good work at normalizing the Trans community through his jokes. He doesn't punch down like some have asserted.

Even though I feel like this last special wasn't great, at no point did I feel like he was Trans phobic or unkind. Does he go far? Absolutely, likely further than anyone else would dare go... But his jokes are his medium for making people think about societies deeper issues.

One of the best examples of this is "how old is 15 really?" (YouTube it).

While taking that sketch at face value or out of context it could be construed as a savage attack on a 15yr old girl who was the victim of a kidnapping. But anyone with half a brain should be able to deconstruct the underlying message and see what the real takeaway is. He shocks you first, then he makes you think.
