I knew she was a bigot but it's a bummer to see the rest of them are apparently stupid too.

[pepsi_twist9]

I mean they were the first to jump to her defense so...?

[sandstorm]

I don't listen to the podcast, I just knew she showed her ass somewhere.

[pepsi_twist9]

Nah it was before then. The podcast was the cherry on top. When the DMs leaked and everyone was calling her out for her racism the two of them were saying how they knew her true heart etc

What a fucked up thing to laugh about

“Humor helps us move through things”

It’s one thing to use humor to cope with your own trauma but to laugh about this is WILD

[willardwright]

God, it's like my ultimate pet peeve when people are mocking somebody's pain or making jokes about something horrible and when called out they talk about how they're using humor "to cope/move through things". It's not their pain, they don't care, they're not coping with shit, it's easy for them to laugh because it's not their problem.

Using humor to cope is definitely a valid strategy, but when one is laughing at their own issues/tragedies. Not at something they don't need to deal with, because it doesn't affect them.

I think it's also common for people to laugh when they witness something because they don't know how to react at that moment. Like when someone has an accident, although you don't actually think it's funny, or when someone tells you something horrible that happened to them, and you're kinda overwhelmed and catch yourself smiling. In one of those situations, I'd cut people some slack for reacting inappropriately. However, to actively start discussing someone else's tragedy in their absence and laugh or even joke about it?? No, sorry, that's no reflex or coping.

It’s common for people who work in trauma type fields (ER doctor, fireman, paramedic, SVU type investigators) to have dark humor to help deal with the shit they see and hear. I know someone who does forensic interviews with children, and they will sometimes use dark humor. Luckily they are smart enough to tell those jokes around people who wouldn’t be offended or in a setting where dark humor would not be appropriate.

lol yeah, y'alls set was not like that... as if they haven't admitted that set was basically a polycule.

anyway, the barmicil product placement in that music video is crazy. as a Mexican, it's disgusting how this man has pandered to us in an effort to make people dismiss the fact that he ended up becoming a groomer and amass a group of loud fans willing to fight his battles for him because of nostalgia and the horrid sexist, rape culture that permeates mexico.

I follow alexa nikolas and I remember her calling lindsey out a couple weeks ago for making light of the abuse she faced so these people are just dedicated to being hot garbage.

already knew lindsey’s racist ass was worthless but damn at it being the entire main cast apparently.
