Is he though? I can’t think of any takes from him that I haven’t liked.
I do not care for him using homophobic and ableist words as insults, but he's from Boston so it doesn't surprise me that he does. Other than that, he seems like a decent guy.
What homophobic and ableist words does he use? I’m trying to think of times when he said one and nothing is coming to mind.
The one that starts with F and the one that starts with R. The famous rant that he had where he heckled all of Philadelphia is a very good example.

It's a very funny rant, but that part does not make me feel very good to hear.
Was pretty normal for the times. Back when I was a kid people used them as their go to insults. Like everyone I knew. I haven’t heard him say those slurs recently. Times change, people grow.
"For the times?" That happened in 2006. Times had changed long before that.
Maybe it’s growing up in a small town in Alberta and being a teenager back then, but the world has progressed a LOT in the last 20 years. Much for the better, but to pretend that it hasn’t is disingenuous man. Ask any lgbt+ person in their thirties or older if you don’t believe me.
He’s definitely gone into territory that I think some people find “offensive”, but I personally find to just be blunt. Maybe it’s the old school Bostonian vibe, which I understand as a Bostonian, and some people not from the region don’t necessarily.
He's actually a really good example of how to do shock humor without being a bigot. He doesn't really punch down, and if he's doing like race jokes, it's usually through the lens of "look at how stupid this racist mfer is."
So? People get so hung up on their right to remain unoffended. That's not reality - it's hiding. Our collective thin skin is getting shredded. We all need a dose of "wake the fuck up and smell the bullshit" more often.
Seriously I think it’s possibly a psy-op to make the left weaker in North America. Or at least to make leftists seem weak. At any rate it’s working, look at what’s happening to our political landscape as a result.
I mean, that doesn't feel farfetched.
By the way, my friend had a hardcore band called "Crucifux" in Tampa Bay, FL area about 15 years ago. Your handle made me double-take.
Haha I know. I love hardcore, and found out about them from googling my own gamer tag when I was like 17
Hilarious. I played music with the drummer, Andy. Small world.
Speaking of names, I have the eye from Obituary’s album Cause of Death incorporated on the sleeve tattoo on my right arm.
For every American who gets offended at someone from Boston there's a Canadian that isn't a thin-skinned little bitch. ;) (okay maybe not a perfect metaphor but after the day I've had I'm not workshopping this one)
