Milkshake Ducks - The official thread of falling from grace

[Frank]

I'm not generally a body shamer, but the red ranger has an immenesely fat head.

Also, along with Hitler, in his world's greatest warriors lineup is Chuck Norris.

He's a fucking moron isn't he?

 

[AshburnerX]

The best response I saw was, "He was really the 'White Power Ranger' the whole time".

And that's a much kinder photo of him than the original article I saw. It was more recent, and I was wondering who the heck this guys was. Time hasn't been kind.

He was in prison for a bit because of the fraud he did. I don't imagine that helped.

Yesterday JK got a stamp of approval from Varg Vikernes, the murderer neo-nazi arsonist black metal guy. You know, the coolest. That's the kind of thing that should make a reasonable person go, oh, maybe I should reflect. She's rich and terf-brained, so that will not happen.

But she's just going fullblown nazi.

You know, even as someone who never really connected with Harry Potter, it still makes me sad to see her reacting to the possibility that people don't read/don't like her work by saying "oh well, got your money!"

That's a defense mechanism, no doubt.

Rowling really doesn't like being called a Holocaust denier:

I really wonder how much of the books she actually wrote and how much was done by her editor. Or were we suppose to root for Drako and Voldemort?

This is very much one of the conservative thought issues where they don't believe they are like the Nazis/Facists/Whatever because they don't literally call themselves that. It's a larger part of their general literacy issues, in that they don't understand nuance, themes, or subtlety in media or in speech. Part of this is just ignorance and part of it is just the willful dismissal of responsibility (i.e. they feel their actions are always justified, even when monstrous).

It's kind of like when they try to say Nazis were left wing because they called themselves National Socialists. It doesn't matter that they never adopted any leftist policies, it only matters what they said they were Socialists.

 

[IronBrig4]

I think some people try to deny the association between Nazism and far-right politics because of the troglodytes who have been causing trouble for the past eight years. For these folks, they don’t wish to condemn people who look like them, who they might know, and who share many of the same anxieties. And so it’s easier for them to say “these aren’t Nazis. The people opposed to them are Nazis AND communists.”

Nazis are left wing, not right wing. Because the name “Socialist” is in their official title. - The Trump guys I work with

The Trump guys I work with

Well they're the experts, right?

--Patrick

 

[IronBrig4]

They're apparently experts on European political history, American Civil War history, international security, public health, and evolutionary biology. I don't think the School of Hard Knocks is an accredited institution of higher learning.

Unless they show up full of nazi symbols at any protest, then they're weirdly on the right side of the good people on both sides...

 

[Celt Z]

Didn't we talk about this guy and domestic violence earlier in this thread? I could have sworn this wasn't news (unfortunately). Or a had read about it somewhere else in the past year.

 

[Frank]

Dang, I forgot if it had been. My bad if it was.

Sorry, I just deleted it for being wrong and old. You were very correct.

Yeah, it wasn't even that long ago.

No murder though thankfully, that was me misconstruing strangled with strangled to death.

Kansas City Chief's Kicker, Harrison Butker

So... Some 28-year-old sports guy known for being a conservative jackass spouted some conservative jackassery?
I fail to see how this qualifies for this thread.
Was he ever a milkshake? Did he suddenly turn into a duck? Did I completely misinterpret the metaphor in the title?

 

[blotsfan]

Idk. I didn’t know he was like that before that speech.

 

[Dave]

Idk. I didn’t know he was like that before that speech.

Nor did I. And the definition is someone you liked & thought was cool until they said or did something.

 

[BErt]

Speaking of Harrison Butker, today was NFL Schedule Release Day. Every team does some cute or funny video to announce their schedule each year; some are better than others. The Chargers are usually very good. They did theirs in The Sims this year and they put Butker in the kitchen

 

[GasBandit]

James Somerton the famous plagiarist confirmed alive . At least if you can believe posts on Reddit.

I know it's "old news" now, but this video was both enlightening and entertaining.

Did we ever find the original source of his suicide note?

Uh…okay.

 

[MindDetective]

Out of context? How did he think people were taking him?

 

[BErt]

You guys don't think something called "@TheSportsMemery" would just go on the internet and *lie* do you?

 

[Krisken]

Nope, that's the context I took him on, and it's exactly as terrible as I thought. What a dope.

 

[sixpackshaker]

Remember that when women play football, they play his position.

I couldn't read the watermark on mobile. Probably not real then.

Sounds like we can add Richard Dreyfuss to the pile.

 

[Celt Z]

I don't know if Dreyfuss would be considered a milkshake duck because he's long been known to be an asshole. It's rare you hear good news about him. He was a known asshole even back during Jaws.

 

[Frank]

For being one of the biggest Milhouses to ever live, he sure does have strong feelings on masculinity.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Agreed. This would be like deeming Chevy Chase a milkshake duck.
