Shit is going sideways for Rogan and Spotify. 

This is devastating for Spotify because original content is the only thing that keeps them from being overrun by Apple and Amazon.  And they plunked down 100mm for Rogan. 

https://pagesix.com/2022/02/05/joe-rogan-apologizes-for-repeated-use-of-the-n-word-in-viral-clip/

i watched his apology video this morning. comes off sounding like he is sorry, but i can't say that it is not more of a "sorry i got caught" than an actual apology. i think he sees that he could potentially lose his podcast and is scrambling to do damage control.

there is a lot of light on him now and he knows he needs to watch what he says. maybe he will have to stop smoking weed before doing the podcast.

I’ve been very critical of jr but as long as he apologizes for this and his podcasts are clearly labeled for inaccurate content, he deserves another chance. And yes, he needs I watch what he says. I’m trying, Nick

I agree. People seem to only forgive people they like. NYC mayor just got caught saying cracker. But it was way back in 2019 before it was wrong. I guess. People are allowed to make mistakes. His apology seemed genuinely sincere. I think it’s Time to get off his D. Until the next Twitter mega clip 

i don't think you can decide when it is time to get off of him. people are pissed off at him and are waking up and making it known. spotify is in the tank right now.

my problem is he knowingly spreads misinformation on his podcast. he is talking about things he knows very little about, or knows just enough about to be dangerous. he has people that are so loyal to him they will do exactly what he recommends, just like trump with the bleach drinking. he has said and advocated things that no doubt have resulted in people getting covid, prolonging their symptoms, and potentially dying. that, above anything else he has done in his entire life, is unforgivable in my eyes.

also, the arrogance with which he freely spreads wrong information and nonchalance that he uses to defend himself almost makes me think he is doing it on purpose. like spreading disinformation.

We get it. You hate him. 

and you love him. we get it.

Expecting a ”Personallyyyy I don’t listen to or care for Joe Rogan… BUT… ”

It’s annoying but I have to say it. Because if I defend him I must be a huge fan. If I critique anything on the left I must be a trump voter. It’s the same cycle here over and over. 

What's the defense for using the N word consistently?

That’s not for me to answer. He addressed it. You either accept his response or you don’t. Forgive him or don’t. Forgiveness seems to only depend on if you (general) like the person or not. 

So, do you forgive him?

Not that it matter but yea. I do. I also forgave my mayor this week for using the word “cracker” in 2019. I’m on a streak  

A black man referring to a "cracker" (someone who cracks a whip right?) is in no way in the same universe as a white man using the n word.

Still wrong though. No? 

Please don’t think I’m “mobbing” you just trying a different approach.  Would you be offended if a black person called you a cracker?  I would not be.  The two terms aren’t even in the same spectrum.  My husband was often called a cracker in prison but only by the convicts who liked him and respected him.  It was like a term of endearment, kind of how they call each other my ni**a.  Did my husband ever call them ni**er?  Absolutely not.  Was it ok for him to say “what’s up my ni**a…yes to those he had that type of relationship with.  

Remember to always think about the situation and the context when these words are used. 

Rogan should have learned when he was a child to not use that word.  The cycle only ends when someone decides it’s time to stop by not allowing our/their children to repeat the same mistakes. 

No way I’d be offended but I’m not easily offended. Everyone is different. And should an elected official talk like that?

Well first glad you wouldn’t be offended.
is it ok for Biden to say “big fucking deal” to Obama after the affordable health care….no….or to call someone an SOB….no.  

You can’t condemn Trump for his remarks and not condemn Biden.  If Trump will be known as the “cursing president” then so should Biden.  

I get the feeling that they’ve all lost respect for themselves, their positions, the government, the entire process because that’s what the majority reacts to and votes for.  It’s the norm now. Sad… 

The remarks that tRump received criticism for didn't have anything to do with cursing. Calling a reporter a stupid sob on a hot mic is quite different than saying that the KKK had "nice people."

The cursing president

How Trump changed America's rules about profanity

So you believe he used the N-word like just a few years back without realising/knowing it was something one should not do?

Or what exactly are you forgiving?

Two months ago when we had to enforce masks again at my store I had a black lady call me a “punk ass white Ben affleck looking motherfucker” because I asked her to put on a mask. It was the highlight of my week honestly.

i probably would have laughed if someone said that to me.

there was a meme on social media a few years ago about all white guys looking like ben affleck, lol.

I’ve been called a lot of things over the course of the pandemic when asking people to put on a mask. That was by far the winner. How could I get mad at that?
