False, I will not watch it
Remember how Ben Shapiro saw Barbie like six times over the summer to prove how feminist and woke movies are box office poison…. Or something equally stupid?
This guy is the prototypical cringey right wing loser.
My money like Lizzo, my pockets are fat
Why would the size of his pockets have anything to do with how much money he has? Certainly he doesn’t have pockets big enough to hold all of his money. He’ll, I’m broke as fuck compared to him, and my normal size pockets couldn’t contain all of my money (on payday, at least)…
Homie I’m epic, don’t be a WAP
What does he mean by “WAP?”, Ben has clearly already proven logically that a pussy ‘that’ wet is impossible, and anything approaching that level of wetness would be signs of a very serious pussy disease. Perhaps he means “weak ass person”, but those people also have major problems, the least of which being the inability to stand or walk for long periods of time, constituting a very real disability…
You’re going to prison, I’m on television
These things are not mutually exclusive, as Donald Trump has demonstrated.
My comment section all woke Karens
Then who are the people going to get this to “Billboard number one?” Are “woke Karens” known to ironically support people?
You just expended a shit ton more mental energy on these lyrics than he did
I'm of the mind that "woke Karen" is an oxymoron.
First his weird sci-fi short stories, now this. This guy is just a gem for cringe content.
His novel is hilariously bad. The Behind the Bastards podcast has done several episodes where they go through it and mock the shit out of his obvious self-insert character who’s not only 6’5” but he’s the toughest, coolest guy who ever lived.
'Take a bullet for you babe!'
...ew. Can the mind vomit?
Yes. The answer is yes.
Take a bullet for ya, babe.
If cringe became a real boy.
I have a sneaking suspicion that a percentage of what he does is an act (I think the enormous asshole part is real) but he deliberately does and says things that he knows will get "the libs" to follow him on socials, retweet and comment and share to laugh at him knowing that the only thing that counts is that his hashtag is trending which keeps him relevant.
It's so funny to me that none of these people seem to have any idea what they're mad about.
that would require thought and reflection. these people are reactionary opportunists. they don't do 'thought' or 'reflection', only 'outrage'.
I think it will all make a lot more sense when the actor / performance artist that we know as “Shapiro” retires and speaks openly about their motivations behind their satirical character. I also look forward to hearing the rationale behind the Fucker Carlson character too.
See I hear Ben Shapiro rap song, and I just assume he did "Jesus Christ is my [n-word]" only unironically, and with added verses that prove he knows nothing about Jesus, half the lyrics wrong, and some blatant transphobia
Well, he is Jewish.
Indeed he also has a habit of saying other people aren't "Real Jews" for arbitrary reasons
No thanks.
Why even entertain this fool
Ben's verses have Weird Al "White and Nerdy" energy, but he's actually serious.
That was exactly how I felt!!
I don't care if I offend you! - every asshole, ever
My opinion of him is so low that I was expecting it to be worse than it is. Don't get me wrong, it's horrendous, but it probably is possible for it to be worse honestly.
I’m sure it will get as much attention as his movies which I also haven’t and will never see.
What a dork lmao
STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT AND HE'LL GO AWAY!
That's not how it works. These people spend millions of dollars a year on advertising and spreading their garbage. If unchecked, the only introduction a normal person (not terminally online like me) would have to clowns like this would be at worst uncritical, and at best flattering.
I have no way to find a clip like this without spending way too much effort to do it, but Sam Seder constantly clowns on these bozos for that exact reason. And he's talked several times on his show about his philosophy, because callers will call in and say what you've said. He wants to make sure that his videos making these fools look like the dunces they are get pulled into the algorithm and fed to people alongside their videos.
And you know what? That works! He gets callers all the time who say things like, "I'm so embarrassed because I used to watch Ben Shapiro (or Sam Smith, Dave Rubin, etc.) and I saw one of your videos mocking them and it made me realize how dumb they were."
It might be different if these dinguses didn't have Koch Brother millions at their disposal, but they do. They must be challenged. For those of us who already hate Ben Shapiro and the ghouls like him, these challenges aren't doing any good. In fact, they might be annoying, like they are to you. But it's still important.
I stand corrected. "Poisoning" his search results with videos making him look stupid is probably one of the best ideas I've heard. Thanks for the education!
