Any lawyers around?

The bigger mystery to me is, who watches these videos? Who follows these people and wants to listen to basic people spewing basic shit for 45 minutes, which could be condensed into 2 minutes but they stretch it out foreeeeever to get more $$$$?

That’s the part that really gets me too - they’re sharing info about his life and his medical situation that they have no right to share.  Doing so isn’t in his best interest, it’s just in theirs, because they want to make sure that no one thinks badly of them.  They’re clearly not equipped to be good parents to him,…

On #3. Besides from the fact that the kids could go ‘oh heck, they could get rid of ME’ and how fucked up that is, it could also go ‘well, if I don’t like something/someone that is different than me, I can just get rid of it/them’. Really messing up future relationships, both familial, social, and professional.

My friend was given back to the adoption agency after his first set of parents decided he was too sullen as baby. I think good riddance to those people, he ended up with a loving family and was too young to really remember that first family. These people publicly documented his stay with them so it’s out there…

A few things to add color to the discussion:

One can only expect so much interest after introducing a new character to the show. It made sense to get rid of that autistic kid character - her and the beard’s obviously real emotion and devastation makes fairly captivating content. But still... 3/5 enjoyed it, but looking for newer narcissist influencers.

More like they knew that line about her working as hard as a CEO would lead to massive eye rolls. Doing a Zoom chat every once in a while is hardly akin to heavy work. 

Mediocre is giving him too much credit.

That was back before racism was bad.

Okay but is Jimmy going to apologize for being a medicore white male in an industry where plenty of women and POC (who don’t do fake laughing and fake water spitting) would do a lot better job than he ever could?

Admittedly, my memory of the dark ages of the year 2000 is a little hazy, but I feel like blackface was well established as being very offensive at that time.

But I can’t cancel something I never subscribed to.

You are not wrong. Someone posted it in a FB group I’m in yesterday, and 99% of the comments were about “the poor dog.” Which, yes, poor dog, but I was like “did you miss the part where she threatened him by outright telling him she would lie to the police and tell them he was attacking her?” And they were super hung…

The same as anoyone who’s name has been used as shorthand for an insult over the decades: “chatty kathy,” “plain jane,” “debbie downer,” “negative nancy,” “lazy susan,” “bye, felicia,” “average joe.” It happens, people deal with it, language trends move on.

I would disagree. White women want to cry sexism over “Karen”. But, benevolent sexism allowed them to skate by in their roles in the racist history of this country and in perpetuating institutional racism now. Experiencing oppression is not a get out of jail card for being an oppressor to other people. Some black men…

Does she actually understand what she did wrong? Because it feels like she’s missing it. It wasn’t that she called the police in a situation where it was a judgement call. It was that she literally used calling the police as a threat, the unspoken part of which was, They’ll believe me long before they believe you, and…

Genuinely wondering if this would have gotten as much attention from white people if she weren’t choking out a dog during the whole vid.

Nice straw man. Tell us more about what a good person you are.

I’m not sure how me using a woman’s name to insult other women is sexist. I’m not obligated to support other women writ large, especially not when they do stupid fucking shit. I’ll take Karen any day to describe someone that’s actually being an asshole over being subjected to listening to people use “bitch” or “cunt”…
