Poika 615 Posted May 6, 2015 I generally love the Earwolf forums, but there are times when it begins to smell like every other internet podcast forum (where there is plenty of hate and disgust for the Earwolf hosts and guests we all love under the guise of, "Hey, it's just my opinion, man!") I guess I'm just old enough to have learned that pouring energy into something you don't like does not lead to anything good, but, "Hey, it's just my opinion, man!" 10 Share this post Link to post

So you like the forums when it's all fluff and circle-jerking but can't deal when negative opinions are floating around? Welcome to the Internet, I guess. 3 Share this post Link to post
JMonsterface 1974 Posted May 6, 2015 So you like the forums when it's all fluff and circle-jerking but can't deal when negative opinions are floating around? Welcome to the Internet, I guess. It's not about fluff and circle-jerking, it's about shared joy and creativity. Toxicity is a real drain on moral. 11 Share this post Link to post

You should tell June, Jason, and Paul that. Their whole podcast is about tearing into movies they believe are shitty and it's led to very, very good bits of comedy. Armen is the "Tiptoes" of Earwolf. I, and others, will make fun. If you don't like it, don't read it. 4 Share this post Link to post
honlads 8798 Posted May 6, 2015 There's a difference between criticism and being a straight up fucking asshole to someone. 15 Share this post Link to post
kobthatreal 5896 Posted May 6, 2015 paul jason and june are funny tho. maybe u guys are funny too but i havent found a joke in any of your opinions about armen. i like him. he brings a new flavor to the show. you go Armen. let the haters be your escalators to success 9 Share this post Link to post

If you don't like it, don't read it. Yeah, i loved that episode where PJ+J just said 'Tiptoes sucks' into a microphone over and over for an hour. PS, People should really stop saying "I hate to say this, but _____" because you don't hate to say it. You love to state that something is bad, as though your opinion is objectively factual and relevant. Kulap will have her friend on her show if she wants, and as it's been pointed out, it's so so easy to just not listen if you don't like it. It wouldn't be so annoying for people to bitch about the guests they don't like if it was an exception, but it's basically every episode of everything. 10 Share this post Link to post
SeveralCircles 426 Posted May 6, 2015 Meanwhile, love hearing June talking about basically anything. 2 Share this post Link to post
Casaba 5942 Posted May 6, 2015 Armen is great. He's very funny and I love hearing his rapport with Kulap. I loved him on Burning Love. Very funny show. I think the fact that so many people, like Shariq Torres, are spending so much time hating on him is insane. You definitely don't get it so move along to something you do get. And stop spewing out all this negativity. June is also wonderful. She cracks me up. 10 Share this post Link to post

A Bear 1813 Posted May 6, 2015 Look in the end it's a free podcast that is consistently pretty funny, it takes less energy to move on for a week when, say, there's a guest host you don't like, than to channel your energy into being negative. I'm totally guilty of this, moving on always feels better 4 Share this post Link to post

StanSitwell 811 Posted May 6, 2015 Guys, forums are for baseless optimism and sweetness regardless of ones opinion or true feelings It is not a place to share your opinions on the show, it is a place to say you loved something, pretend you loved something or hide your feelings, and nothing more, ever 5 Share this post Link to post
clams 242 Posted May 6, 2015 Perhaps it's more of missing Howard than hating Armen. and yeah that photo looks so shopped, it's a strange optical illusion since she's wearing the coat over her shoulders. 1 Share this post Link to post
