I didn’t even know who Ben Shapiro was until I watched some of those “AI presidents playing computer games” videos.

I’ve never listened to him in reality, only in the AI caricature.

Oh, you need to hear the Behind The Bastards podcast episodes about his books. They're incredibly funny and it's remarkable how Shapiro, being an editor, is a terrible, horrible, awful writer.

He's also just like a terrible, horrible, awful person that got popular for gish galloping children at college debates and wrote papers advocating, like, turning the middle east into glass in his early twenties. Oh, and the internet is super horny for his adult kid sister who's hard into the tradwife stuff.

Leaving her aside, he's a stupid bitch.

take a bullet for you, babe

He's also the type of insecure manchild who has legions of insecure manchildren willing to spam report people pointing out things like that he's a stupid bitch.

I had him blocked forever and both times I've been banned from shitter it's been when his shit got unblocked and I had to quip that he is and always will be a stupid bitch.

Also... how is he old enough to have an adult kid? His poor unsatisfied wife* had to crap out his shitty kid?

Baffling, dude looks like he's 12.


*HIlariously, he and that Peterson douche have repeatedly talked about how women don't enjoy sex, don't get wet, only pretend to get off, etc, etc, etc.

YouTube tired me off with Peterson and, more disgustingly,  Tate in my Youtube shorts, despite me telling Google to stop.

If Peterson may be understandable with his takes about the war in Ukraine (which can be summarized as: Ukrainians, surrender already because nuclear war bad), why the algorithm decided I want to see a disgusting sex trafficker is beyond my understanding

Twitter X is still better for avoiding content you don't want... but I am sure the "genius" will "fix" this.

Yeah he's like 40, and was famously a proud adult virgin in the Bush era, I think it's his sister people are horny for.

oh, jesus, is that really his take? if I hadn’t already lost the respect I used to have for him a good while ago, I’d lose it right here and now

I swear he’s just being a contrarian, these days

Well, I hyperbolized (Peterson is anything but a guy who speaks in simple slogans) but yeah, he talks a lot about the dangers of possible nuclear war and how Russia should be negotiated with not antagonized.

What I like about Peterson is that his rhetorical style and tone of voice make him easy to imitate for comedy routines since he basically sounds like Kermit the frog doing anything but answer a question for 30 minutes

Interview: Eyyy Peterson do you like donuts
Kermit the frog: Well... It depends on exactly what you mean by donuts... If we examine the epistemology of donuts we come across several different symbolisms which one person may call a donut... Does a donut need a hole, for example? Most people would agree a donut needs a hole, but I just bought a donut that was filled with jam and had no hole. But if we define that as also being a donut, where does a donut begin and a cake end? Is a dry donut really just a bagel? So you're really being overly-reductive, in that you're asking a black or white question looking for a black or white answer, in what is a highly grey situation...

Yeah, I went for years without knowing he sounds like Kermit.

So it's like, Kermit(derogatory) for Peterson vs Kermit(affectionate) for that Bandholz beard guy.

What this advertising boycott is going to do is it's going to kill the company,

The whole world will know those advertisers killed the company, and we will document it in great detail.

Displacement! I think some people are surprised it hasn't been killed off before this episode (of him reposting antisemetic memes, then having to backpedal furiously). If it doesn't survive, it may yet be a death of a thousand cuts, but he's ultimately provided most of the blades... Next year/month/week it might be a different 'block' to rant at, as the external force to blame for everything. As it was other things before now (everyone from Twitter staff themseves, on up...).

At this point I want Twitter to die its final death specifically so more people come to Mastodon. We could use more users. :P

Sadly, what is most likely to happen is that X will be bought by someone else, who will promptly change its name back to Twitter and hire back most of the people fired.

I doubt it because he's done so much to it at this point that it's reputation is complete garbage and they'd be better off making a whole new site and starting from scratch, which would probably be way cheaper than buying it for whatever ungodly sum of money he'd want for it.
