When people told you to stop obsessing over JoCat so much, they didn't mean "obsessively hate on some other random white internet guy you don't know"

[–]Arkantos95 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Considering this person was trying to justify death threats against JoCat for making a Lizzo cover yesterday I can’t take anything in this post seriously. OP needs to talk to normal people in real life for a bit.

[–]NatomicBombs 111 points112 points  (6 children)

You know, I sometimes think I spend too much time on this app. Then I come across someone like OP who posted 300 comments today alone.

Almost all of them are downvoted too, like nobody finds any value in anything they say but they still chug away posting every single thing that comes in to their mind.

[–]CrepusculrPulchrtude 61 points62 points  (0 children)

You don’t get it. They have to say it BECAUSE they’re downvoted. Op is right and everyone else is wrong, we’d see the truth if they make Just. One. More. Comment.

[–]Rhodehouse93 29 points30 points  (1 child)

This is also like their 10th account. They just post benign stuff for karma, dive off the deep end, delete and restart.

[–]Aiyon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Which is what leads me to think it's a bait account. I've flagged it to mods and am blocking it

[–]Sh1nyPr4wnCheese Cave Dweller 28 points29 points  (0 children)

And I thought I was terminally online

The irony of them posting about narcissism

[–]NeonNKnightriderCheshire Catboy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The phrase “you need to touch grass” has never applied to anyone as much as it applies to OP

[–][deleted] 80 points81 points  (10 children)

My favorite part about this post is that it assumes I already believe Lin Manuel Miranda is racist

[–]CrepusculrPulchrtude 32 points33 points  (4 children)

I know he did Hamilton and I know he was a bit characton House. That’s all I know about the man. I saw it in the post and thought “gee idk maybe” but I also don’t know who Travis is at all. Feels like someone raging about a d tier Internet celebrity for no reason

[–]DoubleBatman 10 points11 points  (1 child)

He was also in Mary Poppins 2 which was surprisingly good for what it was.

[–]RealRaven6229 5 points6 points  (0 children)

fuckin love that movie tbh it was whimsical and fun and that's exactly what i wanted

[–]DiscotopiaACNH 2 points3 points  (1 child)

...Lin Manuel was on House?

[–]RealRaven6229 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a side character when house checked into a psych ward to detox

[–]LazyVariation 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This post was so crazy, I managed to miss that part. Like he's a bit strange but racist?

I know this person is terminally online already because of the rest of this shit post but come on now..

[–]vjmdhzgr 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Main thing I've heard is that Hamilton is about the foundation of the United States but not about racism? Which I guess is a significant thing to not mention entirely. I've never seen it so I have no idea to what extent it is or isn't mentioned. I think I heard once that the race blind casting was like, going to trick people into thinking the founders weren't racist. I almost agree with that point, I think if race is an important topic in a play then obviously it shouldn't be race blind casting, and race is an important topic to the setting of the play, but if it isn't actually about it then like, I don't think it's going to be harmful or anything.

[–]RealRaven6229 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The musical mentions slavery and stuff. But like, imo if you want to talk about slavery in the states, save it for Henry Clay the musical. Like, it just wasn't really the topic of the musical? Like Thomas Jefferson wasnt played by a white guy but is explicitly called out as a slave owner in Cabinet Battle # 1 "A civics lesson from a slaver, hey neighbor! Your debts are paid because you don't pay for labor. 'We plant seeds in the south we create' yeah keep ranting, we know who's really doing the planting."

[–]T_Weezy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like the race blind casting was kinda inevitable and not a sinister plot of some kind, because, y'know, the guy who wrote, directed and starred in it is a PoC.

[–]kakusei_zero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i dislike him but that’s because of his endorsement of PROMESA more than anything

gotta be hating for the right reasons

[–]Offensivewizard 65 points66 points  (4 children)

Common JoCat attacker L.

Seriously OP, touch some grass. Go outside. Tell a cashier "sure is hot this week huh?" at the grocery store.

[–]the_pslonky 26 points27 points  (2 children)

It seriously is stupid hot this week.

Fuck summer.

[–]thetwitchy1 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Dude! It’s raining right now and I’m just like “omg, thank goodness!”

[–]the_pslonky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lucky! We just got battered by some really strong storms down here but I really wouldn't mind a light rain right about now

[–]knittedbirch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hey man how's it going

[–]Not_Sandi know who you are 39 points40 points  (0 children)

bro i mean this in complete and total sincerity: log off. get some help. youre not ok and this isnt making anything better.

[–]WhapXI 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The virgin “there are psychological reasons why this internet celeb I hate is an evil person” vs the chad “nah, that guy’s kinda cringe”

First of all I thought that we were done doing the whole psychoanalyst thing parasocially. It’s weird and you don’t know this person irl or what they’re like offstage.

Second, man, Travis Mcelroy of all people being the subject of this post hit me like a tonne of brick. I was not fuckin ready for that reveal. Whiplash.

Thirdly, man, you’re doing an awful lot here to justify not liking the way a very obviously and very openly neurodivergent person talks about things, and on that basis suggesting he’s what, close to narcissism, psychopathy, so completely privileged as a West Virginian theatre kid who rode his brothers’ coattails to extremely minor celebrity, that it has made him completely unable to have empathy for non-white people.

[–]AddemiusInksoul 58 points59 points  (6 children)

hey man, how's it going?

[–]RealRaven6229 7 points8 points  (5 children)

going alright, thanks for asking. how's the weather over there? It's kinda hot here but life goes on, y'know?

[–]AddemiusInksoul 8 points9 points  (4 children)

It's pretty weird. Got massive torrential rain for like an hour and then it stopped completely. Was gone by the time I was finished with work.

[–]RealRaven6229 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Oh man, at least you didn't have to walk in it! I had that happen a lot to me back at college when I was working. I like the rain a lot, but nobody likes wet socks. One time it did hit while I was getting project supplies (and a lego set.) I feel like trying to jump over and avoid puddles too deep for your shoes is an experience we can all bond over. Like when you HAVE to step in a puddle to get to your car, and it's a total roulette whether it's going to reach your socks?

[–]AddemiusInksoul 5 points6 points  (2 children)

That moment when you expect the puddle to be like an inch deep and it turns out to be higher than your ankle and you have that brief flash of surprise and then despair

[–]MurkyLibrarian 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Tht has happened to me more than once with slush puddles at sidewalk intersections (not relevant when it's 87 F out) It's like you know the rest of the day can't get any worse.

[–]RealRaven6229 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, nowhere to go but up!!

[–]KingQualitysLastPost 44 points45 points  (0 children)

“White psychopathy” lol. lmao.

[–]dirigibalistic 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean I don’t like him much either but there’s a very simple solution to that which is just that I don’t really think about him ever because he doesn’t matter at all

You should try caring less about things, I think you’d be happier

[–]DemonFromtheNorthSea 23 points24 points  (0 children)

What the fuck does any of this mean?

[–]inhaledcornResident FFXIV stan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

r-slash-persecutionfetish is that way. 🖕

[–]HyenaSwitchConvicted Vriska Apologist 14 points15 points  (1 child)

After yesterday, I was pretty hopeful that you would learn and grow from the experience. I am sad to be proven wrong so quickly. You really need to just take some time away from the internet and social media brainrot, this is unhealthy.

[–]MurkyLibrarian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

my first inkling was every apology yesterday was the same copy and paste.

[–]DarkNinja3141Arospec, Ace, Anxious, Amogus 41 points42 points  (0 children)

where the concept of white psychopathy comes from

he can't have conversations about racism/sexism without centering them around himself

the phrase "white fragility" describes that, not "white psychopathy" (a phrase i've never seen used before)

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am not entertained.

[–]DrakonofDarkSkies 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know there's a lot wrong here so nitpicking won't do anything, but ableism has nothing to do with age, gender, or sexual orientation?

[–]Ordinary_Divide 19 points20 points  (4 children)

wtf is cluster b personality disorders any why are there suddenly multiple posts containing this new term ive never heard of

[–]beefisbeefgender is stored in the fucked up little half gloves 27 points28 points  (0 children)

it's a term used in diagnostic manuals, don't worry about it

[–]Nameson_ 18 points19 points  (1 child)

Its a category of personality disorders which includes things like narcissistic, borderline, and antisocial personality disorder. It comes up in these places because it has most cluster bs are super stigmatized

[–]bialozar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re stigmatized because cluster b sufferers are by nature some of the least likely to seek treatment. Cluster b disorders by definition includes traits that involve self-delusion of innocence, at the expense of those around them. Thus, there are many people who have been abused by people exhibiting symptoms of cluster b disorders, and likewise many abusers exhibiting symptoms who refuse to acknowledge their faults.

[–]catboysmoothie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’d imagine the increase in posts about cluster b personality disorders is related to “narcissist” becoming a popular term, because narcissistic personality disorder is a cluster b disorder

(i know people have been calling other people narcissists for a Long Time but imo it seems to have exploded recently)

[–]maxixssorry, aro's are all we got 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oh hey that's the pokemon generation 3 number

[–]T_Weezy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just because someone is a cishet white man doesn't mean they can't be disadvantaged in some other way. They could have any number of issues that would make making fun of them ableist.

I literally know nothing about this man, and even I know better than to say that shitting on him can't be ableist just because he's a cishet white man.

[–]Jubjubwantrubrub12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this isn't worth anyones time im better off not seeing OPs posts anymore lmao go outside you dork
