    Imagine calling a boycott over a Superbowl concert and not something like

    Stop giving these people the attention they are fishing for.

    You guys posting there tweets are part of the problem.

    Those guys have had fake internet beef for years. They thrive on being controversial to each other. It is what made them famous in the first place.

    I suspect this is yet an other aspect of this beef and they are only dong it for clout.

    They’ve mastered the art of getting people to pay attention to them. Neither of them give a single fuck about the super bowl halftime show

      Not totally true. They appreciate the Super Bowl giving them a vehicle to continue to gain attention for a week.

      We have the expression (well in English for those unaware of it) of a stopped clock being right twice a day for a reason. Guess that expression is probably going to the wayside these days though. Even the worst people make an agreeable point now and then afterall.

        The oft-forgotten full phrase is: “a broken clock is right twice a day, but you still wouldn’t use it to tell time.”

        Similarly, often in reference to corrupt cops or politicians: “one bad apple spoils the whole bunch.”

    I cannot believe that even once, I agree with suicide forest, crypto bro con artist, rug pulling Logan Paul. Even if this is just for attention, like some suggest, it’s at least better to have someone wildly popular with younger people (somehow) to be saying this.

      Assuming that’s the one with the correct take: yes it does matter, him going out there and making sure his opposing opinion is know is a good thing. It doesn’t directly matter to us over here, but he has a large audience and broadly that is a good thing for us.

        That one is Jake, he’s the one in the op at the bottom, with the intolerant opinion. He’s playing a heel character here.

        The other is Logan, with the message of tolerance, who is playing a face.

        Neither of them is being genuine, they are just looking for attention. Both of them.

      They’re not, everything they do is calculated and PR driven. If they disagree openly on Twitter like this, it’s with the purpose to generate publicity to get the audience where they can shill their next scam.

      Those aren’t the same. Death forest is the older one who does WWE, the younger one is the boxer and whose “merch is selling like a god church”

    It’s so crazy that we can come to the same conclusion and only one of us has a half decent reason.

    You don’t want corporations to be able to do whatever they want because you’re a racist scumbag, I don’t want corporations to be able to do whatever they want because they have enacted an oligarchy. We are not the same.

    With no subtext whatsoever I agree with the idea of “make America great again”, however I feel like the people who proudly spout that slogan would heavily disagree with the way that I would go about it. Hint: it would involve a volcano.

        Yellowstone caldera… thing

        Not a thing, apparently. All the blowing about yellowstone blowing is done by people with a single line or two from the scientists’ work, and never by the scientists themselves.

          Oh yeah it’s definitely not “due super eruption” or anything, that’s just some usual media concerning big news!! misinformation. But the area is certainly active and the possibility for an eruption or even a super eruption still exists

        Can you please keep this shit within your own country? The Yellowstone caldera would cause a major global disaster, if it broke out.

    Generally I think they get the most popular artist they can manage for the Super Bowl, and he is massively popular, and no one is forcing people to watch. These people are such crybabies it’s unbelievable, just turn the dial for a few minutes or whatever, everything has to be this culture war bullshit now and no one can just enjoy anything, so sick of it.

      Imo that’s why Bad Bunny’s show was great. He never addressed politics directly. He just made his culture look fun.

      So now every time someone tries to rope in politics, you can just look at it on it’s face and see a good show that makes you happy if you’re open minded. So everyone who criticizes it has to work really hard to make it sound bad.

        That’s smart, just make them look like total bummers, which they are. I have to say, what they are doing is really embarrassing, you can’t say you have a superior culture and then trot out the biggest losers in the world. Music and culture in the US has always been hugely derivative of roots and traditional musics, which makes sense since we were all immigrants at some points, but the struggles POC faced in this new world and the music that came from it played a massive role in the development of American music in some way or another, be it derivative or outright theft.

          Not to totally detract from the point of what you’re saying, which is totally correct, but… All of everything seems to keep stepping over that it’s not just influential on American music, but it is American music. That they keep framing parts of our culture as somehow not shows that it’s just racism.

          Puerto Rico has been part of the US longer than Oklahoma, new Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, or Hawaii. Puerto Rican culture is more American than whatever weird nonsense they have in Oklahoma.

            Certainly, I guess I didn’t follow that all the way through. I certainly don’t remember this much flack over Gloria Estefan LMAO, and she’s CUBAN. They just really ramped up the culture war.
