no. i dont support making fun of people.

i dont want to "demolish economic classes " or whatever like some of you socialists. but you should be nice to people

okay, well there’s a name for that when it’s about addiction or other things out of one’s control such as mental illnesses or physical disabilities — ableism

They have never been addicted to d**** to know the perils and struggle it entails. And the deeper reasons behind why addiction happens to some people in the first place.

i’m confused. so you’re saying you’d like poor people to stay poor?

those "addiction prevention/inspirational recoveries" type of seminars and programs focus more on bashing addicts and scare stories.
kids kinda internalize that.

and then you realize how badly these people were neglected by the system and what actually led them to addiction. and maybe that an addict isn't just some boogieman in a dark alley, but could be anybody with enough weight on their shoulders

Three reasons:

• there’s a ‘lacking self control’ narrative along with it, which you can take that how you may. It’s why I won’t be on a high horse about making fun of d*** addicts (even tho I personally don’t), cause we’re all guilty of berating people for a perceived lack of self control with anything. And in such a “pull up by the bootstraps” society, ofc addiction will be seen in such a light
• the association with crime and just general illegality makes it seem amoral and unnecessary, hence why people feel comfortable and justified in judging
• the imagery of d*** addicts can be hilarious, as dark as that sounds. Like we’ve all seen the belligerent crackheads in front of liquor stores

But all of this doesn’t take into account how tragic and horrific d*** addiction can truly be. Ofc people don’t notice, given these reasons make it easy to dehumanize people suffering from d*** addiction

I make fun of coomers

Ppl look at celebrities like free lunch

maybe i’m just sensitive af but this is also how i feel about making fun of fat people in a way.

we’ve normalized eating really unhealthy foods and that turns into such a strong addiction that is amazingly difficult to break.

I think we should be able to make fun of anything and everything but there’s a line i draw where it becomes so callous and cruel that it crosses lines

lack of empathy and understanding

lack of experience and grossly misinformed on a topic that they aren't educated in.

it's recognised as an illness in medical fields and it truly is.

Bro didn’t even mention anything about socialism ya old cooter ☠️☠️

I dont want poor people to stay poor. But i understand everyone cant be rich.

when people bring up "classism" they are usually socialists. also he is a socialist.

Ok McCarthy

who?

“but i understand everyone can’t be rich” is a roundabout way of saying “poor people need to exist”, aka you support keeping poor people poor

Shaming d*** users is a human past time.

Hell, even smoking weed was looked at as horrible just 15 years ago

"you support keeping poor people poor"

nope. I dont. I support class mobility. I have no problem with someone born poor getting scholarships to go to college or learning a trade etc. dont strawman me.

everyone cant be rich meaning economic classes need to exist.

Nobody is doing Dos Equis Guy memes about Maccauley Culkin in 2021

And nobody walks around like “its actively good and necessary to mock these people” its very obvious why someone would make fun of an addict especially one in public, they detest these people and view them as lesser

Thats a good way to put it, there’s a balance to strike

I don’t begrudge anyone cracking jokes about me being a degenerate because thats exactly what I was, and honestly s*** can be simultaneously funny and sad and maybe not right to say at certain moments but passable in others

Idk man but are we gonna sit here and act like Tyrone Biggums ain't some of the funniest s*** ever?

I agree tho, we shouldnt look down at those who are struggling
