To me, that sounds like absolute craziness
obv i don't know of anyone's direct intentions so maybe it's specious on my part but at the very least there are comedians for whom zinging celebrities on twitter is one of the main ways of boosting their personal brand. one major example of this is rob delaney and another just so happens to be jenny johnson, who links to her own favstar account in her twitter profile which shows a number of tweets directed at kim kardashian (and chris brown!) that all have multiple thousands of retweets and favorites. now, i'm sure jenny johnson's anger towards chris brown is very real but it no doubt helps her career for her to play this role. (for instance, she can pitch articles to grantland http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-prospectus/post/_/id/39222/an-open-letter-to-kim-kardashian-and-chris-brown)

sidebar but jenny johnson's hounding of kim kardashian based solely because she had the gall to make a sex tape is pretty gross!

while im not really on board w/ j0's overall argument here i think he does raise an interesting point re: the self-serving righteousness industry that is brought up in an interesting way here (nb i haven't thought through my own feelings on it yet but it was interesting reading)

forks gets it
tbrr she could be tweeting the word "nigger" 24/7 and I would still say that she is 100% correct in the case of Chris Brown
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Monday, 26 November 2012 19:17 (eleven years ago) link
Whiney you could find out that she's in the KKK and it wouldn't change the fact that you staked your claim on the racism of correcting someone's spelling
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 26 November 2012 19:18 (eleven years ago) link
wonder if anyone can find whiney going ott on twitter attacking any female or black artists for something as innocuous as releasing an album in a genre he doesn't like.
― balls, Monday, 26 November 2012 19:19 (eleven years ago) link
generally speaking i'm actually cool with being compared to tucker carlson if it means i'm not defending someone who has a "pro account" on favstar.fm
― J0rdan S., Monday, 26 November 2012 19:20 (eleven years ago) link
I heard jenny johnson was actually born in kenya - has anyone seen her birth certificate???

why do you always immediately jump to getting personal with me, balls?

well, it was a step up from posting "Why are you always on my dick, balls?" hahaha

misogynist, buffoon, webzine editor, troll, someone who's given up all semblance of being a contributing member of humanity to be a professional 'internet personality' (and in yr off hours as well), flagbearer for dead genres and renowned domestic abusers - take yr pick!
― balls, Monday, 26 November 2012 19:25 (eleven years ago) link
also noting you have around 8 twitter profiles devoted to letting the girl from cults know she's nothing more than a "dumb bitch" in yr eyes hardly seems personal, sure there's more to you than that right

thank you, anonymous internet hardman, but I think I've pretty much said "Fuck Chris Brown" like 300 times in this thread and many others.
and i've never tweeted the words "dumb bitch" to anyone?
― DJ Admiral Crackbar - IT'S THE TRAP!!! (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 26 November 2012 19:28 (eleven years ago) link
plus, yknow on a more personal tip, once upon a time there were actually fun hip-hop threads on ilx whereas now there's circle jerks and pun sessions between the usual gang of wannabe freelance tucker carlsons
― balls, Monday, 26 November 2012 19:30 (eleven years ago) link
whiney you complaining about "anonymous internet hardman" is a bit much don't you think, this shit's basically on yr business cards (or at least the bio section for two of yr twitter profiles).

I literally have no idea what this refers to and you're probably thinking of someone else?

also what kind of man keeps coming back to a site he's been banned from multiple (and not like two or three) times and during the interim sets up twitter accounts to whine about it? what type of man revels in this and shrouds himself in it as his professional persona, like one of the freaks howard stern brings on his show? apparently the same kind of man who thinks it's worse for a woman to correct a man's spelling than it is for a man to beat the living shit out of a woman and will attack anyone who doesn't think the same. tbf it's better than having tucker carlson as a role model.
