I'm not saying the guy ain't a douche, but there's something disproportionate about your reaction.

(Anonymous) 2021-05-10 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Being in a position where people listen to you, and using that to promulgate anti-vax misinformation, is an extremely bad thing to do

(Anonymous) 2021-05-10 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
DA

Yes, yes it is. But I still think anyone who spends the time imagining really specific, really violent fates and actually wishing they'd happen even for even the worst people on the planet is just a little bit unhealthy.

It's just a thing people do sometimes on the internet in my opinion

(Anonymous) 2021-05-10 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
/shrug Personally, I find it cathartic sometimes.

only pure thoughts at all times, nothing negative, all happy, happy, happy. bad thoughts means bad person and we can't have that!!

(Anonymous) 2021-05-10 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
That is not what ayrt said at all, and you know it.

(Anonymous) 2021-05-11 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
I think you're reading too much into it.

(Anonymous) 2021-05-11 11:09 am (UTC)(link)
Because no one has ever used hyperbole before, especially on an anonymous secret site. Anyone who does must be “unhealthy”.

(Anonymous) 2021-05-11 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
What does that have to do with anything? ayrt never said they agree with him, just that that kind of reaction is disproportionate. A facepunch or ten I could see. Imagining bloody entrails? Save that for people like *gestures vaguely to assholes in the news*

(Anonymous) 2021-05-11 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Joe Rogan absolutely falls into the category "assholes in the news"

(Anonymous) 2021-05-10 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh. Is there? After seeing millions of people die from COVID and people survive but struggle through serious illness and long term health consequences, after 1+ years of being responsible and watching other people prolong the pandemic because they're stupid/careless/whatever, I can understand why people are upset at a famous guy who tells his very large dudebro audience that it's okay, you don't need a vaccine if you're young and healthy.

(Anonymous) 2021-05-11 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

Joe Rogan is responsible for deaths. Not sure how many, but there will be people who use his rationale to skip the vaccine, and they'll get Covid and die.

(Anonymous) 2021-05-11 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know anything about his audience, but "dudebro" strikes me as a category that includes a lot of people prone to thinking they are younger and healthier than they really are.

(Anonymous) 2021-05-11 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Nah.

(Anonymous) 2021-05-11 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
How so? Anyone who discourages people from getting the vaccine at this point is putting peoples' lives at risk - not just the people who believe Rogan's stupid, uninformed opinion, but the people THEY come in contact with and potentially spread COVID to. That's people getting sick and possibly dying. He's in a position of power and influence, and using it to spread stupid misinformation that might kill people. That counts as more than "douche" in my book.

(Anonymous) 2021-05-11 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
+1 million. I'm immuno-compromised, so the vaccine probably won't have full effect on me, therefore having to be around other unvaccinated people is still a risk for me (and for many, many other people like me). And I'm likely to get much sicker if I catch COVID, though hopefully not, thanks to the vaccine, die.

Oh, and all those people preaching against the measles vaccine? If you get measles, it wipes out your immune memory and you can catch every single disease except measles all over again unless, of course, you get vaccinated this time.
