Episode 179 — Racist Caricatures In Sci-Fi

[Episode 179 — Racist Caricatures In Sci-Fi]

Episodes like this are depressing because they make me realize that Andrew doesn't know very much--about history or culture or almost anything.

 

You did hear the episodes about his crappy free-range school, right?

 

...didn't the Time Traveller bro help the petite, beautiful eloi kill the ape-like morlocks?

 

I remember him abandoning them, and then he ended up in the crab-future.

 

Also, this is going to be a long week. This guest reminds me of the other musician Andrew had on, the one who sounded like he took 20 sleeping pills and then decided to do the podcast.

 

I like when he can bounce off the more passive guests and really shine, but it still doesn't beat KING FUCK OF SHIT MOUNTAIN

[Episode 177 — Black Students Acting Out]

I would say the opposite problem is true; the black kid automatically did it.

[Episode 174 — Stereotypical Pet Names]

names like fluffy or spot are weaksauce... cannot abide

 

I present to you Colonel Meow

[Episode 160 — Rap & Karaoke]

Whenever I go to karaoke (in utah) the top three hip-hop songs that I hear people try to do are:

• Montell Jordan - This is How We Do It
  
• Ice Cube - It Was a Good Day
  
• Sir Mix-a-Lot - Baby Got Back, (which is by far the most popular song and drunk girls will clamor and fight each other to do it)
  

I'm like 80% sure all the songs in the catalogue are radio edits, but when the words pop-up it's n***** (yes with the asterisk) instead of something else that should fit the cadence, so you get a kid stumbling, weakly saying it, or shouting it above all else making everything awkward because they're proud they 'got to' say it.

 

Also sometimes someone will get a big head full of booze and think that they can do Forgot About Dre, but then the Eminem part comes up and that train gets wrecked because the drunk mind can't switch to triple time.

 

Why did Offerman and Mullally choose the song in the first place? That makes no sense.

 

I think that weird disconnect is supposed to be the joke.

[Episode 148 — Stereotypes in Sitcoms]

 

Shariq, I suppose I should clarify. My problem is not that I don't believe Chicago has problems with race and structural racism issues. It clearly does. My problem is the generalization being put forward the cities not on coasts / fly-over states have a greater level of ignorance/prejudice than NYC, LA, etc. I didn't believe it was fair to level those charges so indescriminately.

 

Oh he calls out LA for being mad segregated all the the time.

[Episode 146 — Phoenix's "Entertainment"]

Ho-leey shit, have you guys seen the video? They use footage of the North Korea Mass games in between stock footage of asians being asian.

 

[Episode 148 — Stereotypes in Sitcoms]

who are these people in Chicago and Detroit who have never seen a black person?

 

they live in the suburbs

[Episode 143 — Chop-Suey Font]

Another problematic font is Papyrus, it gets used for any non-white culture.

[Episode 139 — I Hate Everyone]

Along with 'friendzone' it's such a neckbeard thing to say.

[Episode 140 — Huckleberry Finn]

(If I can even remember correctly) My teacher put forward a vote to read Huck Finn or Uncle Tom's Cabin, which I'm glad we chose Fin because I recently tried reading UTC and it was so dry and boring. It always seemed like the more stale the book was, the worse we acted in class.

[Episode 138 — Kung-Fu Movies 2]

Here's the link to the live blogging.

 

/Also: my dad calls them chop-sockies so I just stopped going to the movies with him.

[Episode 136 — Black Metal]

"Don't be a fan of something because other fans are shitty people" is such an empty 14 year old hipster mentality

 

Right, this. I hate the idea of throwing an entire genre to the racists and giving them the power to take things over and perpetuating stereotypes. There is a kind of justification with associating black metal with neo-nazism because Varg Vikernes is such a central figure to the whole myth, but that fuckhead only started spouting Heil to get attention after he got locked-up. On the other end of the spectrum there are many (if not exponentially more) bands who ideologically align with anarchy, communism, and other far leftist philosophies*. Also metal is so spread out across the world like hiphop it's a disservice to the PoC fans (like these guys, or these dudes) to call it racist. I just picked, up but haven't gotten around to reading, What Are You Doing Here by Laina Dawes which is an autobiography of a black woman in the metal/punk scenes and the crap she gets from in and out.

 

One of my favoritest dudes in the world, Caller of the Storms from Blasphemy, has put up with racist bullshit for the last twenty years but has never let it drag him down. One of the stories is that he was getting off stage and some drunken little fuckhead ran up spewing slurs and death threats, so

just gave him one solid punch in the chest, which was so hard it gave the idiot cardiac arrest (supposedly he survived, sadly).

 

*of course it's exceedingly difficult to give a political discourse over screams so most just sing about blood and forgotten elder gods.

[Episode 85 — High School Mascot]

Love the show. Not thrilled about this week's guests.

I just wish they didn't record it on what's aperently the world's cheapest microphone.

[Episode 79 — Basketball Game Ads]

I grew up catholic and I've always noticed fast food places start ramping up their ads and deals for fish come the start of feburary because of lent.

[Episode 78 — Self-Identity]

Is it ok to make fun of otherkin?

[Episode 67 — White Women Wearing Hijabs]

Are we sure Lady Gaga was wearing a hijab? She just might of run out of costume ideas and just threw on whatever because she was running late.

[Episode 60 — Black vs. White Zombies]

I dunno, it seems like it's the Asian vampires/zombies you have to look out for.
