nah that's COE (content over everything)/podcasting TODAY but back in the Combat Jack era when everyone and they mama didnt have access to a mic, podcasting space was actually quite varied and there are some podcasts where research and discussions actually have to be done (e.g. political podcasts like blowback, gaming podcasts like gaming illuminaughty)

What you're saying is actually what has been killing the perception of podcasting for the last few years.

it's not twitter itself, but it was the breeding ground for an era of comedy that for an entire decade and a half (mid 90s and all of the 00s) defined a generation.

As someone that never participated (had a very strict father that at the earliest eve of the "colorism" wars in schools and on the internet, nipped that s*** in the bud for us at home before we even thought about it) but watched, you gotta remember the 20 something year olds that were tweeting out these kind of tweets were the children of funnyjunk ("Got rice b****?"), Newgrounds, ebaums world when it had an adult section, liveleak, aol chats, and BET uncut.

Basically, gave root to a generation of adults with a lot of f***ed up humor. My nigga we had an entire channel that was literally "Misogyny: The Channel" (Aka SpikeTV) (the re-invention of jimmy kimmel is something that has to be talked about one of these days)

The problem was, even though during that same time we was shown through media (e.g. Degrassi episodes) that whatever you post on the internet, stays forever, we never REALLY took it seriously cause when you are 18-24, you not really caring about s*** but how to make it to the next day.

It wasn't til after Trayvon when people started thinking more about the s*** they was saying (cause a lot of jokes primarily had black people, lgbtqia people, and black women as the butt of jokes) cause then s*** got "real" and that point life came at said generation FAST. You no longer got 205k retweets for making a serena joke about how manly she looked or Ciara genital jokes.

In order to come out "unscathed" you HAD to have parents that was ahead of the curve as far as "nigga don't you say that dumb s*** online" and even then you mighta tried to "fit in" cause of peer pressure lol.

and even then, there was some edgy jokes (e.g. in my case, it was a chris brown parody of take you down that was obviously rihanna related) I laughed at that looking back it's like " " but some of us really just aint know no better.
