Here’s the short version of the story: Rampage Jackson is sort of a walking sex pervert. If you need this explained to you, check out a few of his onscreen interactions with female reporters. Maggie Hendricks of CageWriter.com wrote up an article about how he’s kind of a creep, and why we should stop letting him treat women like jokey worthless bags of vagina meat. Reasonable, right? Well, UFC color-commentator Joe Rogan doesn’t think so.
Rogan, who is mostly famous for making desperate people eat bugs and balls for temporary fame, is one of the regressive troglodytes on the Underground forum who reponded to Hendricks’ article by insulting her writing and physical appearance, and saying she’s just jealous of the prettier reporter. Rogan’s post stands out because 1) he works for UFC, and 2) he, a grown up adult man, calls a female professional a c*nt about fifteen times.
“I think Rampage occasionally gets out of line, and I think some of what he does in interviews [is] unfortunate. I also think that’s a part of his charm. He’s not a fucking dentist, he’s a cage fighter, and he’s one with a very unique personality. I don’t think he should be given a free pass for some of the questionable things he does, but I do think that this woman in question is all kinds of c*nty. The Skywalker [who posted earlier in the thread] broke down everything that’s wrong with her and her sh*tty, c*nty brand of writing to a f**king T. That, was worthy of the #BOOM.”
Where do you even start? Preferably not in the shallow waters of an MMA forum, where Rogan can say whatever awful thing he wants and have it met with the same rah rah bullsh*t as a stiff kick to the head.
Commenter Bat21: “sh*tty c*nty?!?!? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!! F**k, I’m still laughing after 5 minutes. You’re the man, Joe.”
Let’s think about that for a second.
My job is not to be the moral voice of the Internet. It’s to make a bunch of terrible jokes on a sports blog. I’m supposed to take a video of a guy almost getting hit with a firecracker while playing soccer, put twenty seconds on the clock and see how many funny comments I can make. That’s my role. I understand the anonymity and consequence-free nature of the Internet. I’ve been threatened with everything from litigation to physical death, and I’ve never done more to raise the ire of humanity than post some fake chat transcripts of baseball players cursing at each other. So how hard must it be to do this as a woman, and to write about something so ridiculously “male?”
Joe Rogan is “the man.” I grew up in Southern Virginia, and when I got old enough I moved the hell away from these men. They’re cowards. Loud as a motorbike, but wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight, you might say. They run their mouths when they know nothing can happen to them, and clam up when it can. Rogan will jump on an MMA forum and call a female reporter a c*nt, say she’s jealous, jack off to something that looks like Victoria Silvstedt and go to bed in his Taekwondo jammies. If he gets called on it, his reaction is more violence, either emotionally or physically. I imagine Rogan is the type who challenges you to FIGHT HIM IN REAL LIFE if you call him an asshole on the Internet. You want to be a tough guy? Why don’t you come down to my (work, offices, house, wherever)!
That’s what makes him a coward. He doesn’t understand that. He probably won’t ever understand it, and people like him are what makes mixed martial arts such a brain damaged exclusivity. People ruin everything. We’ve gotten to the point where our society can’t have nice things. Joe Rogan calls a woman a c*nt, so what do we do? Half of us demand an apology and a firing, our hearts bleeding for the injustices of an un-PC world, white knighting for a woman we don’t know and probably will never meet. The other half? They post things like this in the Cage Potato comments section.
mDino Says: who cares!!! she probably is a cunt
BONGTAR Says: C*nty, bitchy, its just a word, and I dont think it was a poor choice. Lighten up a little. This is akin to a black guy being able to call a black guy n*g.. but no one else can. Woman call each other c*nts all the time…that c*nt is too skinny, that c*nts shoes are ugly, but when Joe says it….Oh my god, you have a mom and a wife and a daughter…please.
Boo Says: What a f*ggoty article this is.
El Guapo: “That word shouldn’t be in his vocabulary…” (Facepalm)Has the whole world gone gay?
And it goes on, and on, and on. But you’re “the man,” right Joe? Just like these guys?
I know Joe Rogan is a comedian, and I know how people get bent out of shape when you make offensive jokes. I made a joke about not wishing Ryan Leaf well during his recovery from brain surgery the other day and people lost their minds. The difference, I think, is context. If Joe Rogan was standing in front of a brick wall saying women are c*nts to his adoring audience of fifteen I’d say sure, go for it. I wouldn’t like it, and I wouldn’t laugh at it, but whatever, anything goes, right? Here, Rogan isn’t speaking as a stand up comedian, he’s speaking about a company he works for, standing up for somebody he likes by insulting someone he doesn’t. When he chooses his insults, he makes sure to say “c*nt” so you know he’s talking about a woman. That’s the part that sticks.
And I guess the world has gone gay. We’re all f*ggots, writing f*ggoty articles about c*nts. We put little stars in the words when we don’t want them to hit as hard. My job is to make jokes, and I’m going to do it in context and not pretend to be someone’s moral superior. I’m not going to call for an apology from Rogan, or say that he should be fired. I don’t care if he’s fired or not. Joe Rogan’s punishment is that he’s got to live out the rest of his life as Joe Rogan. He probably won’t ever understand what’s so f**king stupid about this. The next time a woman does something he doesn’t like, he’ll take a good, long look at her, decide what he doesn’t like, and make sure everybody knows it. Hashmark, boom. He’ll keep being “the man”, and the older and smarter you get, the more pitiable “the man” seems.
I’m sorry you’re like this, Joe. I wish something I could say would make a difference. I just can’t think of anything that isn’t full of stars.

Boom, roasted.
But he was on NewsRadio… :(
this really can’t be overstated.
i liked the line about the taekwondo jammies.
This from a man who’s attached to a sport filled with sweaty dick-punching (thank you, Penny Arcade).
Rogan’s from the typical “if you’re offended, it’s obviously your own fault” school of Bullshit 101, and everyone else can’t handle how EXTREME it is to call a woman a cunt. And if you have a problem with it, it’s just Political Correctness and suddenly he’s a Free Speech Martyr. Whatever it takes for him to never accept that he’s just a shitty person.
A few months ago he was on an AM show in Philadelphia, where he waxed intellectual about how women really don’t want to work, they just want to be taken care of by a man. He backed that statement up by saying it was “scientific fact” and human nature and blah blah my dick is big im a man bullshit until I eventually changed the channel. It’s just ridiculous that he even has a soapbox on which to spout his inane bullshit, because like so many sweaty men before him, I’m pretty sure he’s just a giant ball of hubris and cocaine.
MEMO TO JOE
Sorry you were socially inept in High School, have a small penis, and are threatened by women. Explore your attraction to men making each other scream and get sweaty balls with a good therapist, who can help you get in touchy with your Inner Joe…Namaste
Over/under on the number of Affliction t-shirts owned by the guys siding with Rogan: 24
Man, that Joe Rogan.. he’s kind of a c*nt, yaknow?
Well said. “When he chooses his insults, he makes sure to say “c*nt” so you know he’s talking about a woman. That’s the part that sticks.” was my favorite part.
Also happy about the intelligent comments left here. Refreshing on the internet.
The *’s in the middle of words needs to go tho. We’re adults, we can handle reading naughty words.
@B, nice quote from “99 Problems”
I’ll take over 24 … great article.
Well played.
I’m often struck hardest by how MRA and MRA-types such as Joe Rogan come off as creepy and just a bit/a whole ton like they would resort to violence against women.
Then I realize that, you’re right B, they’re all cowards.
I heard he stole that cunt line from Carlos Mencia.
he also has a very intellectual podcast, is a brown belt in jiu-jitsu, and is a national champion in taekwando. of all people to talk shit about calling someone cunty…..really??? wag of the finger.
@rice – “Joe Rogan has accomplishments” doesn’t excuse anything. I didn’t write an article saying “Joe Rogan’s podcast sucks and he’s bad at jiu-jitsu.”
“I don’t think he should be given a free pass for some of the questionable things he does, but I do think that this woman in question is all kinds of c*nty.”
I read that t say: this woman’s right, and I don’t have any real points to make, but she’s still a c*nt for being a woman and not making me a sandwich.
Even if I didn’t know anything about Joe Rogan, the picture alone is enough to tell me he’s someone that would refer to any woman he disagrees with a cunt.
/Slow clap.
Bravo, sir. F*ck Joe Rogan and all these “c*nty” Affliction shirt-wearing douchebags. MMA will never be taken seriously when guys like this are at the forefront of the sport.
Honestly if you’ve ever listened to a Rogan podcast or just watched a few things on youtube(him confronting Mencia with logic and wit) you might change the snarky tune. Not saying he’s correct in calling someone who was harrassed a cunt but you’re making some pretty fucking broad generalizations
I would like to point out that so far, both pro-Rogan commenters have put “cunt” in their username. See how this works?
When will the UFC end this nightmare and replace him with Michael Schiavello?
It’s obvious that Rogan crossed the line by calling Hendricks “cunty”, and he needs to know better as a representative of a major sports organization. That said, I don’t know if I get the same impression of him as you paint in your story. He appears to be a guy with strong opinions and crazy ideas, but I think he considers himself an intellectual type and it seems unlikely that he’d challenge anyone to a fight over an internet argument.
The guy says a lot of stupid shit, and he definitely should apologize to Maggie, either on the UG or by reaching out to her personally. I just don’t agree with the idea that he’s an Afflicition-wearing meat-head.
I love the podcast argument. Awesome, he has a successful podcast, I listen to it. I love the guy. His attack on Mencia was monumental in calling out the fakes in the world of stand-up. I also love saying the word cunt. It’s in my everyday vocab so much that I wish I was British with a cockney accent.
But none of that changes the fact that the UFC – that I watch a lot, almost getting to the religiously level – is still not the global brand that Dana White is trying so hard for it to be. So while it may be no big deal for the guy to go on a message board or blog post and call some chick a cunt to the UFC faithful, it’s a big deal to advertisers and that chunk of America that still isn’t watching. Why does it matter what Joe says? Because he’s the voice of the damn sport. If Joe Buck called a reporter a cunt, he would be fired. If Dick Vitale called a reporter a cunt, he’d be fired. Rogan isn’t as iconic as those guys yet, but he is in the same position. he should know better, especially with NBC bringing back Fear Factor. Don’t you think that NBC would have an issue with the host of their highly popular show calling some a cunt?
It’s not a matter of “Oh, that’s just Joe being Joe, he’s really a smart guy if you listen to him.” It’s a matter of who he is, what he does and who he represents.
So, Maggie gets to write whatever she wants about people and can indulge in name calling and criticism of others but Rogan used the word cunty and he’s gone too far? Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. If you you’re gonna dish out harshness, there’s a chance it’s gonna come back your way. This “damsel in distress” treatment that Maggie is receiving from other bloggers is sickening.
@FredEttish – The idea is to separate Rogan’s comments and attitude from Hendricks. Did you read the part in the article where I mention how every defense of a woman is misconstrued as “white knighting?” What you’re saying here is an example of that.
“His last name is Garelli?”
Well done, Brandon. And next time someone threatens you with physical death, remind them that you’re not the one who wears Taekwondo jammies.
Along the lines of some of the commenters defending Joe, I’ll say I’m surprised to hear this from Rogan. I listen to his podcasts occasionally and he always come off as someone who is intellectual and thinks and discusses the nuances of concepts and situations. To call her a cunt and address her looks seems out of character to me and you are absolutely correct in calling him out for it.
Maggie Hendricks is absolutely correct. If MMA wants to gain mainstream popularity, it can’t have Rampage motorboating female reporters and telling them they make him horny. If they embrace that, they’ll die on the vine.
Joe Rogan might sound like an intellectual in his podcast but no-one should forget that this is a man who believes the moon landings were fake, owns a sensory deprivation tank for when he’s stoned (all of the time) and thinks that marijuana can cure almost every aliment known to man. Like everyone, he has some good opinions but he also has some fucking terrible ones.
I thought smoking lots and lots of pot was supposed to mellow you out. This does not seem the case for Mr Rogan
There’s nothing wrong with calling a woman a cunt when she deserves it, the problem is that this woman didn’t deserve it. She hit the nail on the head.
I doubt she’ll take it too hard anyway seeing as how the comment came from a nutty pot smoking 40 year old who apparently still spends a lot of time in a dorm room, according to the banner picture.
@Brandon – If this isn’t white knighting, than what is? Do you honestly expect anyone to believe that if her colleague Kevin Iole had been the one Rogan described as cunty, you would have written this article? Of course not. You wrote it because poor defenseless Maggie was called a very bad name by big tough Joe Rogan. Maggie is an adult. She has chosen in the past to engage in name calling. So is Rogan’s choice of words was too much? If bloggers are going to do what they do (which is to mostly focus on negativity in their chosen subject matter) than they need to be sure they have a thick enough skin to handle to the repercussions of their choices.
I don’t think what Rampage did was so bad. They were asking for it. All of them.
Seriously, though, all the talk about UFC needing to clean up their act to become a major player in the sportsworld is just pointless. Dana White likes that Joe Rogan talks like that and they would never be an organization that hires someone like Joe Buck that frets so much over every single word they choose out of fear of the reaction. That’s sort of their appeal to a lot of people.
@Fred
He didn’t write it to defend Maggie. He wrote it because Joe is a tool. It would have been written had he called Kevin Iole a “fag”, which would have been the appropriate analogy. This piece was written because Rogan should be held to a higher standard because he’s the face of an industry. He can criticize anybody he wants, but to drop to such a vulgar level should be beneath him.
Yawn. Who gives a fuck what Joe Rogan thinks? People are surprised that a revolting modern day blood sport enthusiast calls a woman a cunt. Cunt is one of the best words in the English language and if you are offended you really need to reassess the priorities in your life.
“Loud as a motorbike, but wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight, you might say”
are you fucking kidding me, what a hit piece. Just stick to making jokes and leave the righteous indignation to someone with less of a chip on their shoulder.
This is LeBron’s fault.
@Alan – I’m willing to accept this theory.
The c-word is what a man calls a woman when he is getting his ass kicked in an argument and can’t come up with anything intelligent to say(most likely because he doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together to create a spark). If he was having the same argument with a man, he would use a derogatory term for homosexual. Joe Rogan would have served his employer and his sport better by staying out of it. As they say, “Better to remain silent and appear a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
“Dana White likes that Joe Rogan talks like that and they would never be an organization that hires someone like Joe Buck that frets so much over every single word they choose out of fear of the reaction. That’s sort of their appeal to a lot of people.”
The same Dana White who got pissed at Brock Lesnar for giving a WWE style speech after a match? Or is it only bad when you talk shit about sponsors?
[www.mixedmartialarts.com]
sounds like a real unthinking caveman. Totally the guy you described.
@Jim Stephens – It sounds like a guy whose only response is more attacking without humility (“cunty” being the “same as bitchy” for example). Yes, we thought you calling a woman a cunt was childish and stupid because we’re hacky journalists who wouldn’t have had a shot twenty years ago, Joe. And we also all live in our parents’ basement.
“We’ve gotten to the point where our society can’t have nice things.” This may sound cunty but I loved this article and thank you for writing it. Not sarcasm. Even though I haven’t thought of Joe Rogan since Chapelle said “there’s something you should know about me, Joe Rogan. I smoke the crack rock” I’m glad you wrote this.
That picture of Joe Rogan is worth a thousand words (about him, about MMA, about everything involved).
also, “Woman call each other c*nts all the time…that c*nt is too skinny, that c*nts shoes are ugly,”
hahaha what the hell when has this ever occurred
Mean Gene Okerland would have never called Miss Elizabeth a cunt.
Methinks someone has been listening to too much Morrissey in his skinny jeans…
@brandon I didnt understand your response at first b/c most of the conclusions you drew were nowhere to be found in the link I posted. I realized though after re-reading your blog post that this had nothing to do with the issue at hand but more with you not liking Joe Rogan. Your assumptions about his character make that clear. Its obvious there is nothing he could do to satisfy you. Interestingly I was just on wwtdd and the first article on the page referred to Paris Hilton as a “cunt” and “cunty”, however when I went back they had deleted it. More of your “crusade against the seaward”?
@Jim Stephens – Here are the verbatim quotes I’m talking about from the article you posted, among other, broader themes.
“Cunty” is just another word for bitchy.”
“Is that journalism? Is that good writing? Is that the kind of thing you could stumble upon while reading the New York Times? Would it make a fine entry in FIGHT magazine? Is sports illustrated pissed off that they missed out on publishing these gems? No, it’s bitchy bullshit. “Cunty” writing, if you will.”
“we’ve reached this saturation point where anyone with a website that writes about this sport wants to be considered a “journalist.” People that 20 years ago wouldn’t have a shot in hell at a career in writing are now demanding to be taken seriously with their snarky, poorly thought out offerings. ”
That is the vague, misguided stuff I was writing about. How much more do you need me to quote? I read the link you posted and typed about what I read. What do I have to do, agree with you?
The only problem with the basis of this article is HE DIDN’T CALL HER A C*NT. That’s quite a flaw when the basis of your article is actually incorrect. Dope.
@Obvinot – Not sure who you’re trying to call gay here, but try to stop calling people gay as an insult.
@super D – repeatedly referring to something someone is doing as “cunty” is calling them a cunt. Otherwise it’s that bad boyfriend “I didn’t say YOU were stupid, I said what you were DOING was stupid” backhanded bullshit.
I love the whole idea of “She started it”. So what if she wrote something mean. Apparently the whole idea of 2 wrongs don’t make a right never occurred to anyone.
@brandon
“It sounds like a guy whose only response is more attacking without humility (“cunty” being the “same as bitchy” for example).”
This is pure conjecture. Explain the difference between bitchy and cunty to me.
“Yes, we thought you calling a woman a cunt was childish and stupid because we’re hacky journalists who wouldn’t have had a shot twenty years ago, Joe.”
At no point does he assert that your feelings about this issue are what make you ‘hacky journalists who wouldn’t have had a shot twenty years ago’. Hes just saying that you are those things. Which, BTW is absolutely the truth.
I dont expect you to agree with me. We are on fundamentally different sides of this issue. I would however like you to read this bloggers work and admit that its possible for someones writing to be “cunty”.
“@super D – repeatedly referring to something someone is doing as “cunty” is calling them a cunt. Otherwise it’s that bad boyfriend “I didn’t say YOU were stupid, I said what you were DOING was stupid” backhanded bullshit”
BTW thats ridiculous. You can absolutely do something stupid without BEING stupid, just as you can do something “cunty” without being a cunt. To state otherwise with any amount of certainty is misguided.
@B-rad- Easy buddy, just having a little fun as you seem hypersensitive. Try not to insult gays by saying they all listen to Morrissey & wear skinny jeans…
@Jim Stephens Just go away. You stated that you will never agree and (to put it in terms MMA forum members love) you are a Joe Rogan nuthugger so go back to watching Blue Mountain State whilst sniffing your axe body spray
@blah so if I have a viewpont different than yours or the bloggers I am obviously a blue mountain state watching axe body spraying gorilla? I guess the ridiculous generalizations dont just swing one way.
@blah – Jim Stephens can only accept a statement if it literally says what it means. Concepts like context and connotation are meaningless. Don’t worry about it.
Actually that is what I was going for. What I was doing was writing at the level I normally see on MMA forums. And since seeing your vehement defense of Joe Rogan I assumed you spent plenty of time on them. That is why I put the little aside in the parenthesis.
@brandon You’re close. I grasp the concept of intention and connotation but I certainly dont assume them and then make blogs about them like they are the same thing as whats printed. If you feel strongly enough about the topic to pelt a guy with personal attacks maybe you should deal more in facts and less in conjecture. BTW, I noticed from the comments of bloggers on the other uproxx sites, that you are starting quite a campaign. Nice unified front.
MMA fans are dumb. I am okay with saying that and moving forward!
@blah my defense of Joe Rogan has more to do with my disdain for the hypersensitive, double standard put forth by todays faux media, than my love for all things affliction (I own zero mma related shirts). Its ok to be a snarky douche but the second someone criticizes, its picked apart and overanalyzed and then someone is labeled a sexist meathead when in reality he called a spade a spade ( or in this case a cunt).
GOLD, JERRY!!
Strong comments from a bunch of emasculated pseudo intellectuals with wispy facial hair who lack even a drop of testosterone.
I don’t understand how you can post a link in defense of something where the words “panties in a bunch” appears in the FIRST sentence of the defense. It’s like a defendant on trial for rape saying he’s innocent on the grounds that he was molesting somewhere else at the time of the alleged rape.
Give it a rest you pussy, I know you addressed this, but Joe Rogan is and always has been a comedian first. Fear Factor was just a way to make extra money.
Also if you ever listened to any real conversation Joe Rogan has had, such as on his podcast (which I shouldn’t be expected of you) you would understand that he is not a
violent guy at all. He says he has only been in one real fight when he was younger.
Also, you probably see him as violent because of the way he confronted Mencia, but he only did it that way because 1) he had told Mencia in private to quit stealing material and 2) Mencia was actually calling him out before the confrontation
So, quit being such a cunt. It’s just a word no different than bitch, fag, or idiot. Men and Woman alike just like to get offended and play the victim card, which is what your are doing
eh… I fail to see what warrants all the panty bunching around here. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Rogan’s a huge douche. And so very well may be Rampage. And the reporter may be right in her criticisms of him, Rogan, the sport, whatever. I’m just puzzled by the odd and arbitrary line drawn on the word cunt. And who it can be thrown around at. Maybe I’m just supremely desensitized and don’t give a shit what anyone says, but if he called her a bitch would that be somehow better? Weren’t the uproxx guys at the forefront of the battle to dismissively wank at people who throw a fit when anyone says “retard?” It’s the selective outrage that seems, I don’t know, gay as fuck? is that the word I’m looking for? I liked this site better when we were all nihilists making funny jokes. Stop being such a cunt and be funnier next time. And less damn wordy, this article took half my lunch break to read… and if I don’t get back to work, my cunt retard of a boss might yell at me.
I’m happy the article’s been up long enough for the Rogan fans to finish reading it and drop comments. Hi, everybody!
@brandon “Well yesterday Paris Hilton did an interview with Opie and Anthony and Jim Norton, and she didn’t do that. Instead she was a boring cunt.”
You fucking hypocrite. I think someone is sour grapes. Redband has mentioned you on the podcast before. Mad cause you couldn’t get on or something? Moron.
@Dean – I’m not sure what that has to do with me, as I didn’t write it. Also, I’m pretty sure you’ve got me confused with somebody else.
LOUD NOISES!
@Brandon. That might just be the case. If you don’t write WWTDD then I am sorry because I am apparently a cunt.
@Fred Ettish – So telling people not to bait a borderline criminal means she should get called a cunt? Wow.
Damnit. By disagreeing with the rage over naughty language did I somehow lump myself in with the Rogan fans? I thought I was clear that I thought Rogan was a douche too. Damnit. There’s nothing worse than being branded a frat boy. On the internet scale of name calling, it ranks somewhere between republican and cunt. There goes my street cred as a smartypants. I might as well just go return this scarf, mustache and ironic haircut I just bought…
Honestly, if Maggie Hendricks is a cunt for trying to rally her profession to ignoring/not placating a guy who sexually or physically abuses interviewers, then hell, fucking call this world the Thunderdome and just say to hell with it. You don’t have rights. If a muscular athlete imposes his will on you, fucking take it you pussy! That’s the attitude you espouse.
Don’t give me this “if you can’t take it, don’t dish it out” bullshit. Rogan basically is covering for borderline criminal behavior by calling Hendricks out for her criticism. And for all you fucks who are bitching about this being a white knighting, and whether Brandon would have written this if it were that Ione guy or Ariel Helwani or one of the Cageside Seats guys or Dave Meltzer writing something like that? You wanna play that game too? I can, because I bet Rogan wouldn’t have called a man out for that criticism because he’s misogynist…
…see how fucking dumb you sound? Attack the argument, don’t put intent in people’s responsibility when it’s clearly not there. And really, if you want to attack someone for being a “cunt”, attack Rampage Jackson. Because if he didn’t exhibit borderline rapist/sociopathic behavior, then Hendricks wouldn’t have to call him out on it. FULL FUCKING STOP.
From Rogans Forum:
Yeah, I responded to it on the underground:
Never did I imagine that so many people would get their panties in a bunch about the use of the word “cunty” to describe a female blogger, but in this “gotcha” era of online “journalism” we find ourselves in any controversy that can be exploited to fill headlines and pad mandatory blog obligations will be pursued to the extreme.
My use of the word “cunty” in retrospect was unfortunate, and more of a symptom of my stand up comic vernacular than what more verbally conservative people would interpret the word as. “Cunty” is just another word for bitchy.
It means exactly the same thing to me, it’s just that “cunty” sounds better and is more fun to use.
The term “bitchy” to describe the style of the writer in question and her take on things is both accurate and appropriate.
Here’s an example of one of her “articles” about me and Mike Goldberg that reads more like a forum post written by a nit picky attention whore borrowing his mom’s laptop than someone that calls themselves a “journalist” employed by a reputable site like Yahoo.
[ca.sports.yahoo.com]
Here’s another “article” where she makes fun of Stephen Quadros’ appearance.
[sports.yahoo.com]
These are just a few of the articles from her that have annoyed me over the years. I could look for more, but I think you get the point.
Is that journalism? Is that good writing? Is that the kind of thing you could stumble upon while reading the New York Times? Would it make a fine entry in FIGHT magazine? Is sports illustrated upset that they missed out on publishing these gems? No, it’s bitchy bullshit. Cunty writing, if you will.
The sport of Mixed Martial Arts is fairly new, and one of the very first sports to be supported and defined by new media. We have an extraordinary amount of websites dedicated to the sport, and in the dark days of being exiled from cable television these sites (including the one I’m posting this on, mixedmartialarts.com) helped keep this sport alive.
Now that the sport is incredibly popular and thriving however, we’ve reached this saturation point where anyone with a website that writes about this sport wants to be considered a “journalist.” People that 20 years ago wouldn’t have a shot in hell at a career in writing are now demanding to be taken seriously with their snarky, poorly thought out offerings.
This sport is infested with these people, and what they’re going to have to realize is that if they want to be writers and they want their stuff to be read and ingested than they themselves must become public figures in the process. The illusion of anonymity and a lack of repercussions available to the subjects of your work is a thing of the past.
Writers should expect to be openly critiqued and criticized online by anyone any everyone, because guess what – those people writing forum posts shitting on your work are just as much a legit “journalist” as any of these website people.
My apologies to Maggie Hendricks for calling her “cunty,” and I truly hope I didn’t hurt her feelings. My forum post was honest and off the cuff, and I didn’t think out the possible reactions to it. I don’t know the woman, and I’m sure she’s probably a nice person in real life, but if I have a point with any of this it’s that when you put negative shit out there in the form of bitchy blog posts, that shit is going to come right back at you, and you better not be surprised.
Was the point of the article to say that you didn’t like Rogan? You took like 8 cheap shots that have nothing to do with his argument and then said:
“If he gets called on it, his reaction is more violence, either emotionally or physically”
If you were trying to make a case for why he shouldn’t have said anything, you should use more logic and less hypocrisy. Your stance is clearly emotionally violent.
Classic that you would “imagine” all sorts of stuff about a guy based on a cursory skimming of, what, the above picture? Rogan probably went overboard with the comments, but he’s about 10 times smarter & more thoughtful than your nonsensical stereotyping b.s. article was…
Not really what I was talking about. I never weighed in on whether or not he was right. Just saying that if you write an article about someone saying outlandish things about a person they don’t know….
A modicum of introspection before publishing would make for a better article.
no brandon, he called out a women who has taken more jabs at people in the sport and one person, who is recognizable, decided to call her out, used a bad choice of a word. okay, i got it, cunt is not good in our culture in america. but calling him a meat head, wants to fight anybody is generalizing greatly. the dude is married with 3 daughters, i bet he calls them all cunts all the time, cmon, thats just stupid.
ps. what does smoking cannabis have anything to do with any of this?
Joe is a nice guy in public, have gotten to hang out with him on several occasions as a close friend is a maincarder in the UFC and Joe’s down to earth and fun. Stops to talk and take pics with every fan and of course eventually ends up skunked but everyone is by the end of the day.
Three issues here:
Issue #1: cunt
This is smokescreen. The people getting bent out of shape because “it’s only a word” are misunderstanding the issue. It’s not that “cunt” is a bad word, it’s that Rogan used pretty much the worst word you can use on a woman, when he represents the brand of whatever MMA thingy he’s part of (sorry, although I do martial arts, I don’t mix mine–kung fu is beer, and aikido is hard liquor… if you mix ‘em, you’ll never get sicker). It doesn’t matter if he called her “cunt” or said she was acting “cunty” or even if he said she smelled like yeasty pussy (which would be less “cunty” than “cunt,” right?)–the point of the post, as I read it, was that MMA wants to be mainstream, and with Joe Rogan and Rampage Jackson representing it, it isn’t going to be mainstream.
Issue #2: Joe Rogan is an idiot
He is. Get over it. Sure, suck on his ballsack all you want; call him “intellectual,” praise him for “calling out” Carlos Mencia. I won’t say Rogan was an idiot for hosting “Fear Factor”: let’s face it–most of us would be happy to collect a nice paycheck while telling people to eat horse rectums. But being host of the Horse Rectum Eating Show doesn’t give one any moral or intellectual heft. Being a moon landing conspiracy moron, arguing that DMT is perfectly safe because it is produced by/found in the human body, along with related compounds (yeah, in TRACE amounts, moron–that’s like arguing that shooting heroin is safe because your body naturally produces endorphins), and–oh yeah, he does martial arts and that constantly gets brought up by him or his supporters. Dude, do you know who else does martial arts? Cobra Kai! Sweep the leg!
Long story short, Joe Rogan is a pseudo-celebrity, a pseudo-intellectual, and a Sheen-like crackpot who justifies his love of drugs by saying, “look, it’s safe! and I do martial arts, so I don’t do unhealthy things!” Taking potshots at a reporter who calls out Rampage Jackson for being inappropriate with women reporters? It doesn’t matter how he did it, or why: he’s flat wrong. Just like he is on the moon landing.
Issue #3: The rest (Rogan’s ballsack-lickers, and MMA in general)
If it’s white-knighting to jump in to defend a woman publicly scorned, what color knighting is it to jump in and defend some pseudo-celebrity crackpot? Durr hurr hurr, you tell that bitch, Joe! Tell her to go knit me a sweater! Derp derp derp!
Stop worshiping Joe Rogan and think for yourselves. Go back to the source of the dispute: look at Rampage Jackson’s behavior. If you’re fine with how he conducts himself, particularly as a representative of MMA, then it ends there. Ignore the chatter and complaints about him. Don’t attack people who are offended by him, because then you’re making it about the people who are offended–and if you disagree with them, you’re just giving more attention and credence to their opinions. Joe Rogan’s opinion isn’t any better than yours, so stop being his cheerleader and be Rampage Jackson’s instead. Go Rampage, go! Make lewd comments and hit on that reporter! Hooray!
Regarding MMA, while I’m perfectly happy to let guys beat on each other, or sweatily clutch each other until one passes out; while I don’t give a rat’s ass if other people want to watch two sweaty men wrap their legs around one another and scissor until one cries out in pain; and if I don’t want to watch it on TV, I can pass by that channel, I think that the age of bloodsports should be one that’s only in history books. I’ll include boxing in this: I feel no thrill by watching dudes try to beat each other bloody, and think it says something very sad about our society that we still accept this as a form of entertainment. But that’s my personal opinion, and far be it from me to deprive the hoi polloi their bloodsports.
So ultimately, I don’t give a rat’s ass if MMA’s “brand” gets sullied by Jackson’s actions (see what I did there?) or Rogan’s cuntiness (really, he’s being cuntier than the reporter even came close to being). But for you MMA fans out there, realize that the reason your sport is perceived as being too extreme is indeed related to Jackson & Rogan and this whole cunty affair.
Funnily enough, I’ve watched Joe Rogan’s comedy, and never had a moment when I laughed. He just… says stuff. His stories aren’t particularly funny; his jokes aren’t really all that joke-y. As a comedian, he’s definitely a lightweight, and really, he can thank Horse Rectum Eating Show and Carlos Mencia for 99% of his fame & fortune.
So does any of that mean that Rogan’s right, that Rogan’s “intellectual”ism or opinion is superior and other people must agree with him or be labeled as pussies?
No, it means he’s just another internet asshole with an opinion. The difference is that he’s “famous,” and so there are lots of people who want to bandwagon on that fame, so they feel better about themselves when they don’t have the brainpower to think for themselves.
I like you, Lothar of the Hill People.
Brandon, you are so dumb; you are really dumb, for real.
JK, I love you. You are my favorite blogger.
You should try editing man:
“I grew up in Southern Virginia, and when I got old enough I moved the hell away from these men. They’re cowards. Loud as a motorbike, but wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight, you might say. They run their mouths when they know nothing can happen to them, and clam up when it can. Rogan will jump on an MMA forum and call a female reporter a c*nt, say she’s jealous, jack off to something that looks like Victoria Silvstedt and go to bed in his Taekwondo jammies. If he gets called on it, his reaction is more violence, either emotionally or physically. I imagine Rogan is the type who challenges you to FIGHT HIM IN REAL LIFE if you call him an asshole on the Internet.”
So they are both cowards for not fighting to back up their words and then they are cowards if they do? this paragraph makes less than no sense…
just admit you stole seaward from adam carolla.
This is With Leather, and with Lothar. Well said sir.
This article is wayyyy off. We should be talking about how Ramapage is walking around nut-tapping people, which is what this C*nty broad brings up in the article. That’s way worse then harmless motorboating.
You guys are aware that Rogan’s not going to read through these comments and award you Rogan Points, right?
Let’s see how delicately this can be phrased.
If you think Joe Rogan is “intellectual,” you’re a fucking moron.
Hm. Not that delicately, it turns out.
Through laziness and cowardice a large part of mankind, even after nature has freed them from alien guidance, gladly remain immature.
Is the site name changing to WithFeathers?
With all due respect to everyone ever, I don’t think it has a damned thing to do with who Rogan is or what he represents. I think it has to do with the fact that you don’t call a woman a cunt and be serious about it at the same time, THEN expect people to think you aren’t a knuckle-dragging, chest-thumping apetard fuckstain. You call a *person* a cunt when you’re doing your best Begbie from Trainspotting.
“And I guess the world has gone gay. We’re all f*ggots, writing f*ggoty articles about c*nts.”
“Joe Rogan is “the man.” I grew up in Southern Virginia, and when I got old enough I moved the hell away from these men. They’re cowards.”
This article is clearly about your own shit. No real writer could post this and not see the irony”
I disagree with you Brandon. I believe all the defenders will be awarded Rogan points because all the defenders are Joe Rogan using a pseudonym.
Except for MrBlades. I can’t see Rogan being awake at 8:52 AM. Not that I know anything about Joe Rogan..
The nerdy blogboy that writes 7 pages weekly on the WWE doesn’t care for the UFC? I’m shocked
It’s sort of heartwarming to know the people I expected to be idiots about this are still idiots.
Outstanding piece Brandon. Shit like this is why I don’t watch UFC anymore. I don’t want to be associated with or support White or Rogan in any capacity.
@Chad
There’s way more overlap between WWE and UFC than you assume there. So yeah, just imagine a rhinoceros riding a tricycle while Sad Keanu eats peanuts in the background, because your argument’s invalid.
@TH You are correct, they’re called teenagers
the man who wrote this article got way too passionate about it…
Here are the facts as I see them: 1) Hendricks was, I’d say rightly, calling someone out for poor behavior, 2) Rogan admits she is right, but doesn’t like her tone, and 3) that he deems these actions worthy of her being a cunt, at least in this particular instance. I’m not quite sure how people can argue with the essence of the article, that Rogan was way off in this case, and that he seems to portray himself as a person who, even though he admits she was right in her criticism, doesn’t want to hear a woman stand up for herself. The problem with the word cunt is that it only exists to disparage people for being a woman. Just as the n-word only exists to disparage people for being black, or “fag” only exists to disparage gays. Fact is, criticism is okay. Rogan can disagree with Hendricks, that is perfectly fine. But since he is considered an industry insider, and an intellectual (in his fans’ eyes, and as many commenters point out), he should be better than that. He can call her stupid, or idiotic, or attack her arguments as all sorts of terrible things, but to insult someone for something that has nothing to do with their actions is just plain stupid. Cunty means she is acting like a cunt, which is a concept that does not have to do with behavior, it has to do with gender.
That being said, it does seem that Brandon (who I find to be a good writer and to have his head on straight) has had a problem with Joe Rogan prior to these actions. But, if you didn’t want to hear his take on the Rogan situation from the point of view of someone who may have biases against his subject matter, you shouldn’t read a blog.
I can tell you honestly that prior to the writing of this article I had no problem with Joe Rogan greater than “he is on TV shows I don’t like.”
Dude, get off your high horse and start blogging things that are entertaining to us, You’re here to entertain people like me and the other idiots who read your site. Don’t convince yourself that you’re any more than a clown who dances for us.Keep you moral righteousness to yourself and let Joe call cunts the way he sees them….as cunts. Writing otherwise isn’t going to get you laid, loser.
I like the part where Burnsy called Fear Factor a “highly popular show.”
creepy: a significant percentage of people who find fault with Brandon/this article cannot refrain from thinking about the issue within the framework of sex (“you’re just trying to get laid,” etc.) for some reason
amusing: it turns out that Joe Rogan has the most defensive and easily butt-hurt fan base of all time
interesting: to consider whether, to take an example, Muff would be brave enough to say what he just said if it the issue we were dealing with were racial or LGBT-oriented in nature
Yes, you are indeed a much better person than Rogan because you called him out on your sports blog and didn’t use the word cunt. You’re over-analyzing a forum post and also basing your entire opinion of a person off of it. I wish every form post got this kind on in depth coverage.
The air must be thin atop your high horse.
Well let me say that I do not agree with Joe Rogan’s choice of words in the least bit, but let’s at least call him what he is, a douche bag asshole. I know calling him a coward for his comments may make you feel good about yourself, but at the end of the day he isn’t. In fact in your piece above, you prove that he isn’t. You say that the internet has made people cowards by saying they only say what they will because it is anonymous. Joe Rogan says whatever he wants about anyone, he doesn’t care what people think, and usually doesn’t run from his words. In reality this is the opposite of cowardly. Joe Rogan is just a prick who is full of himself, and likes to hear himself talk. Don’t try to make him into anything other than that.
wow so you wish someone doesnt get well during a life threatening illness in the case of ryan leaf (joke or no joke I hope karma bites you in your ass), but your writing an article about joe rogan saying someone’s journalism is a bit cunty? you sir are a jew faced cunt and should not be allowed to write in any forum (print, electronic, etc.) for the rest of your life. May you rot in your own piss and shit. Shalom
@ Sam Losco, when you call someone a cunt, it does have something to do with behavior, something they have done, or the way they have acted. If you call someone a cunt, you aren’t calling every woman a cunt, or taking a shot at all women. If you were to say “Quit acting like a cunt,” are you in essence telling them “quit acting like a woman?” I think not. The word is not nice, it is vulgar, and no one says you need to appreciate it when someone uses it, but lets not overreact. Gender is a big part of the equation, but behavior is the other part. Joe Rogan was not calling all women cunts, he was calling this one woman a cunt because he didn’t agree with something she did or said. No matter how stupid or trivial the reasons were.
Thanks, brandonisadirtyjewfacedcunt, for finally elevating the level of dialog in here. Lots of people have been trying, but you’re the first one to actually do it. Ta-Nehisi Coates would be proud.
I can only assume that jew-faced just means handsome.
why have you guys still been writing defenses, we already had a guy named “Chad”
Dear Brandon Stroud,
While it is true that company representatives should strive to be seen positively in the public eye, you fail to persuade me towards your prudish views towards Joe Rogan’s actions. Your article is biased, uninformed, and poorly written. You provide little reasoning in your article as to why “cunt” should be such a forbidden word, and you resort to ad-hominem attacks on your subject, which undermines your argument further. You ultimately fall from your high horse and end up lower than his level, because when it comes to simple words, (and that is the issue here, words), what matters is intent. Joe Rogan’s intent was to disregard a reporter in a derogatory way. Your intent is to slander Joe Rogan while waving the banner of censorship, because you are so deeply offended by his words. If you examine them, there’s not much to them. The word cunt quite literally means vagina, as you may or may not know. In this way it is similar to the word “dick”, which literally means penis. We arbitrarily ascribe a harsher meaning to the word dick, but it means the same thing. Would you have written this article if Joe had called her vagina-ey? Would you have written a similar one if he had called a male reporter “dickish?” No, you would not, and as such, you follow a double standard. Society arbitrarily ascribes a harsher meaning to this word “cunt”, and it is this meaning that you have allowed to enrage you. And let me tell you, people who allow trite words to hold weight over them and alter their thinking are the weakest, most simple minded members of our society. They are the insecure, knee-jerk reactionaries who take no time to use clear and rational thought when they are called names. They are the people who respond to insults with physical violence, or threats thereof. They are you. And it is disappointing that there are so many like you who blindly side with what I consider an extremely unpersuasive argument. The irony of it all is that you actually have the gall to conclude your argument with the implication that you have to stop writing because the only words left at your disposal are expletives, which you claim to be so deeply offended by.
Being referring to by your genitalia is harmless. Those who takes issue to that are flawed and need to reexamine their selves.
To conclude, you, sir, have a shitty, cunty brand of writing.
~Kevin
Dear Kevin,
Thanks for the letter. Are you going to write it out and mail it to me? And if so, would you be using a real return address, or a fake one, like you did here? Anyway, got to go, talk to you later!
Love,
Brandon Stroud
Kevin straight up dominated you Brandon, and your response was complete garbage.
yea brandon…ive heard some pretty shitty comebacks in my day….but your work right there takes the fucking cake. Your a fucking professional writer and thats your response????
My job here isn’t to “pwn” your responses. Everything I needed to say has been said, and no amount of explaining myself is going to get you bottom feeding weirdos to stop calling me a hypocritical high horse cunty-something. You made up your minds before you even got here. So now I’m mostly just poking at you with a stick, and driving up my comments.
Not all women are bitchy are bitches. Not all women who are cunty are cunts. Joe did not call her a cunt, he called her cunty. How is this different than someone calling me, a man, a dick, or an asshole, or any other genitalia? Guys are called pussies when they’re being whiny or anything other than tough?
My point is: who cares? I don’t call women cunts, but it does appeal to me that there is a business out there not willing to censor or punish one of their announcers for what they do on their personal time. Why is this an issue? Joe Rogan has so many (possibly) offenses stances on everything from drugs to politics to how humans are a “bacteria taking over and using up the world”.
All this over “cunty”?
To Brandon Stround: This article smells of a journalist trying to spearhead a censorship movement against a successful announcer who has made his money speaking his mind. Remember that as a journalist, you’re supposed to be opposed to censorship. This is no way to make your name. You ruin credibility for AOL news.
Wow, you’re doing the exact same thing in this article that you’re accusing Rogan of… Hypocrisy ftw.
If I were getting paid to comment I would FJM the shit out of Kevin and “literally” no one would say I “pwned” anyone
So much fucking mad over a word. Grow up, if him dropping a word is that fucking bad to you, you need to get back under that rock you crawled out from under. This is 2011. If you can’t take people calling you names, you should just kill yourself because guess what, it’s happening right now. Someone you know is calling you a faggot or a cunt. Deal with it.
Really? the guy writing this article is a moron he should look in the mirror and stop being a sensitive pussy. DONT MAKE ME LAUGH you love gossip because this isn’t even news worthy that lady is a cunt she writes terrible articles.
The guy writing this article is a moron he should take a long look in the mirror
This comment was designed specifically to make Brandon’s site more popular and fun. I read the article, but won’t say anything about it.
ProgressiveBoink since 06, baby!
Really are you actually slamming joe rogan? SHE IS A CUNT oh no he used the word cunty who cares thats a perfect word to describe that lady. Does that mean all women are cunts no just that ONE! stop reporting gossip that isnt news worthy none of the serious mma reporters are even covering this that says a lot about your website.
@dave – Yes, it does.
This is still going? Awesome. P.S. – Rogan-lovers: You can’t say “It’s just a word” and “How dare you censor our bland meathead-god with your words” in the same argument without looking like a jackass.
Keep up with the racial and homophobic slurs, though. It’s like punctuation for stupids!
Calling a girl cunt is the same as calling a guy a dick or a cock….but when this happens people don’t seem to mind. Also he is refereeing to her writing style as cunty meaning he does not enjoy it. lighten up…..rampage should be fined i dont agree with what he did but Rogans comments dont bother me one bit i actually laughed. Get a sense of humour he is a comedian after all, and a good one..what else do you expect?
Gratz what you did seems to work. You got, at least this Rogan fan, reading your pointless litle article. Way to capitalize on a, from the get go, pointless story. Oh no someone called someone cunt on the internet… the horror… call the captain save-a-ho brigade, how else is this poor defenceless woman going to ward of such a grusome attack
You know what’s an underrated foodstuff? The sauce that Chinese restaurants use on General Tso’s chicken. It’s sweet and spicy and delicious. But I guess that last sentence begs a more important question… why isn’t it a more popular ingredient? I mean, people put BBQ sauce and honey mustard on all sorts of things, but I’ve only ever had that sauce on chicken and shrimp. Weird, right?
I bet it would be really good on fish. Or maybe you could make a thin-crust pizza with the General Tso’s sauce in place of the tomato sauce, and then put grilled chicken and a vegetable medley on top. Yeah, I bet that would be great. Hell, I bet it would even be good as a dipping sauce for french fries or onion rings. I would definitely eat the crap out of some General Tso’s onion rings.
So, yeah, think about that Chinese food restaurateurs. At the very least you should give out packets of it, along with the duck, soy, and hot mustard sauces. I can take it from there.
the person who wrote this article is in a class way lower than joe, and will never have close to the intelligence, accomplishments, or compitence. This super candid censoring bs that people think we need is softening up youth and turning them into cunty damsel in distess skanks just like maggie. Hop off umadbro? Umad that hes a better writer than you? People from the uk say cunt every other word. Should we put all of them on the chopping block?
@Hahaho – No, the problem I mostly have is taking people who drop “censoring needs to stop” and “cunty damsel in distress skanks” into the same sentence seriously.
Man this has got to be one of the dumbest most targeted articles of read in a long while. I like how the writers dumbs it down so they can reach that cunty demographic. Trolling for internet hits has never been so predictable and boring; I’ll go back to giving Joe some ratings by reading his shit, and watching his shit now.
Oh and I’m a homosexual, but I’m not a little whiny ass faggot; who talks with a fucktard lisp and defines himself by watching shitty faggot shit coms depicting gay men as weak emasculated lap dogs of ultra hags.
Good day to you and your sloppy cunt.
That retard Danger
I’m a fan of Rogan. Everyone needs to relax and stop being so c*nty. FYI *responded (second paragraph)
Brandon I love how you say you won’t respond to people with intelligent arguments but when a moron says something you jump right in with a little obnoxious quip. Hmmmm, does that make you…..
A coward????????
Your article is pathetic and I feel bad for you if this is your career. How can you live with yourself doing this kind of work? You just make a bunch of broad hateful stereotypes about Joe Rogan, ironically in response to his use of a hateful word. Most people have the misconception that Rogan was just some guy who NBC randomly asked to host Fear Factor but that isn’t the case. Rogan is actually a fairly talented stand up comedian, which is where all of his success came from and continues to come from. This article just plays on those misconceptions.
He didn’t even use the word c*nt, he called her “c*nty,” implying that she was writing like a c*nt but without dehumanizing her by writing her off as a “c*nt.” His response, which you won’t respond to (as you mentioned, you are too busy writing other garbage) destroys your “argument” much better than I can.
The fact that the UFC won’t fire or sanction Rogan over this is one of the things that makes the UFC so awesome. The UFC doesn’t pander to whiny little “journalists” jumping on the bandwagon to write a story like a lot of other sports organizations might (they aren’t cowards).
Cowards say stupid things to get attention, you are the coward.
C*nt.
@alex – It’s good to know that several months later I’m getting the same form response. Thanks for stopping by.
thanks for writing this
every once in a while its good to be reminded about how much of a douchebag joe rogan is
and how pathetic and fanatical his fans are
good read
Oh, brandon, brandon, brandon…..you are a fucking idiot. You stated that Joe Rogan was the type of loudmouth guy who “wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight”. If you were actually a GOOD journalist and did maybe some research (for fuck’s sake, at least go to wikipedia) you would see that Joe Rogan was and still is a great mixed martial arts fighter. So actually, he would probably rail your ass in you two were to fight. That too macho for you? Ok, he makes more money than you can possibly imagine. Money isn’t everything you say? Ok, he also does more charity work than you ever have and has made more of a difference than some internet writer like yourself. Also, the guy gets more pussy than you ever will. So, with that I say, it doesn’t matter what you think of joe rogan, because no matter what he will always be better than you in terms of fighting, money, pussy, and helping others (charity). So what do you have on joe rogan? the answer is nothing. go hang yourself.
Dude, you’re one of the most clueless, ignorant, insecure “journalists” I’ve ever taken to time to read an article of.
You couldn’t be further off morally, factually, or emotionally from all the points you made. You dog Joe for swearing, then you proceed to swear. You call him names. You give yourself a nice little disclaimer 3-4 paragraphs in to excuse yourself for being completely uncreative. You then proceed to explain how beta of a male you are and judge the shit out of Joe, when if you’ve ever heard his podcast you’d know how great of a guy he is. You finish it up by sub contextually challenging him to a fight and proving how jealous you are of him.
Congratulations, you get the faggot of the year award.
Hey, I know it’s 2013 but I’d just like to point out that you, Jeff Bartel, have no worth as an internet commenter. You apparently can’t understand the problem with gendered swear words (which is weird because it’s explained above) and you use the word faggot as a pejorative – on the same moral level as calling somebody the N word. So you’re terrible and should stop commenting, on the off chance you read this a year after you posted it.
