Haha, I love this argument. What exactly is the standard for a "real" cancellation? Complete social and financial annihilation? Should we put him in the stocks in the village square and throw rotten tomatoes at him? Otherwise everything's just fine? Great job of demonstrating your compassion.

Also, great job of refuting arguments that I didn't make. And kudos for watching the entire clip and then completely misrepresenting it. If you "wanted to be fair", try watching it without deciding ahead of time that you're going to dishonestly interpret it in the most uncharitable and inaccurate light possible.

Rogan clarifies that he's talking about "this particular black neighbourhood." Not black people. He doesn't say "Fuck them" to the people calling him racist. That's what they're saying to him. He just points out that he was saying what a positive experience it was. It's so annoying to have to sound as if I'm trying to defend Rogan simply because people insist on lying and I can't abide the dishonesty.

You're welcome to dislike Joe Rogan. But at least be honest when you criticise him. It shouldn't be hard, he's said a lot of stupid stuff over the years. In fact another of the impressive number of misrepresentations you've managed to cram into this brief reply is the implication that I've suggested his "insights" were brilliant and enlightened. I pretty much said exactly the opposite.

I'm simply pointing out that acting as if black people being "oppressed and treated like animals" has anything to do with, or is made worse by, his podcast is asinine.
