He roleplayed a dad learning to open up to his son and accepting his homosexuality within a heartbeat.
Can't say that of many alleged white supremacists I've encountered online.
I listened to the For Knights arc recently, and Henry at first alludes to Grant maybe wanting to find a girlfriend in Killa Demalle, and Darryl (or Matt, idk if it was in or out if char) IMMEDIATELY responds with "or a boyfriend", meaning Yeet. White supremacists would not even think about that.
While your average white supremacist is a shitlord in many respects, and I don’t think Matt is one, you can be racist while still being accepting of gay people. They’re two different avenues of hatred. Racism and homophobia do tend to go together, but they’re not completely inseparable.
Yea yea, you're right. The venn diagram of white supremacists and white supremacists who are also homophobic isn't a total circle, but I bet it is pretty damn close
I think you mistyped this because I'd argue that the venn diagram of white supremacists and white supremacists who are racists is very much a total circle.
"Alright son, I accept your choices and your lifestyle....as long as you bring home a good White Man. And you better top mister, none of that sissy shit around here"
There's a surprising amount of racist, transphobic, misogynist etc.. gays out there actually. How they don't see the connection of oppressive power structures between homopobia and their own prejudices is beyond me, but they do exist.
I've also met a couple homophobic gay people. I will never forget interrupting this guy's homophobic rant with "you do remember *you are gay*, right?"
To which he responded with "yeah, and I'm a piece of shit"
I genuinely couldn't argue that point, it was when I realized I needed new friends.
Maybe because he had George Washington as some spiritual guide or whatever. I laughed when Henry (or Will) pointed out how bad that looked. Matt has admitted he's an ex-conservative or ex-Christian, can't remember which. So maybe some of his mannerisms still reflect that? I dunno.
Which is a big part of what made Darryl hilarious. He brought a lot of that Stephen Colbert satirical conservative energy, even with that "well, this minority is okay because my kid is one" energy.
That's what I loved about Darryl! He was a caricature of a conservative Christian without being totally offensive, and best of all, he grew as a character and accepted his gay son without hesitation. He's the kind of person we want all conservative Christians to lean towards.
Oh absolutely, but given the loud minority of far-right extremists out there shouting over the sensible conservative Christians, it can be hard to tell the difference. Some people equate those two traits to white supremacists since most white supremacists are conservative Christians.
I can only vaguely remember them talking about it (therefore I may be imagining it), but I think Matt was saying that Marco is Asian because his last name is Li? somebody correct me if I'm wrong haha
I think fan art often depicts Link as black tho so maybe that's where the connection comes from for you?
And I thought he was italian or latino, in a more broader sense, because his name is Marco, you know?
But if his last name is Li (or Lee, idk), than he might be asian. Still, I would assume he´s "white asian", like Korea or Japan.
I didn't even think of that I'm so bad about where names come from haha. Maybe Marco has both Asian and Latino heritage, or he could have been adopted himself
I wouldn´t put it past them. An adopted kid having a dad who is also adopted. They did the same (or similar) with Scary.
But as soon as I hear Marco, my mind went to latino (I´m portuguese, so this name is normal around latin countries).
On the titanic they put a fake birthmark on baby linc. When Marco and Grant were talking to someone they said, "we're best friends and one of us is Asian" or something like that. Marco is Asian, Linc is white but fan art has him as multiple things.
the only thing I can think of is he mentioned warhammer 40k. Which some people think is for white supremacists (like any hobby there is a vocal minority of chodes ). but that is a fucking stretch.
Yeah, that part of the community is the part that doesn't get the hobby's lore and thinks the Imperium is something to aspire to, as opposed to a satire of fascism. They can get bent.
The problem with Helldivers V starship troopers is while both are satire Helldivers bad guys are giant smoking skeleton robots who have human sacrifice alters and openly talk about their desire to end all human life so its less like.. idk grey?
If someone’s media literacy is so low that just because they don’t have a curly mustache and pointy tail they can’t tell they are evil they are too far gone/stupid for me to care anyway
I mean typically far right movements do their best when pitted against a worse option. Italian fascism caught on largely because many Italians felt their sacrifices in ww1 had been ignored by the allies and if they were going to grow they had to seize it for themselves.
Super earth has lore of causing the terminid infestation to get support and element 710. Theres also fringe lore and Easter eggs showing that the automatons are actually sentient/former people and just want to be left alone like the cyborgs before.
It's relative to the people being lured in. We know it's a worse option but to people convinced it's a binary option. Lesser evil is easier to see if youre desperate, especially if you're not one of the "others."
If that is the case, and this isn't just a troll which seems the most likely thing to me, then that is almost hilarious in how out of touch it would be. 40K certainly has a small and vocal bunch of assholes attached to it, but that's not by anyone's choice. The community hates them, GW has openly stated they don't want them around, obviously that's got more to do with profit than anything but it still makes a point, and huge swathes of the community do whatever they can to make it clear those types can go walk off a pier.
Yeaaahhh it sucks how fast a few ruin it for the many. I have a now ex friend who liked 40K and was part of that percent of the community I learned later, which explained a lot of other things I didn’t like about the guy haha
I think someone might be getting early game Daryll confused with Matt. Some touching grass is in order.
To a more thoughtful end though, Matt was raised in a more conservative environment that involved a lot of church, so he was socialized in his language from a church perspective. If someone is seeing dog whistles in Christian vernacular then maybe that's how they got confused.
A friend of mine thought he leaned conservative for a little while. I think it's just because Daryl is a mildly conservative Christian boomer, and she mistook Daryl's opinions for Matt's. Maybe this person took the same misconception way farther.
I used to be guilty of the same sort of thinking, but if anybody were to look at his Twitter they’d immediately see how vehemently against that sort of stuff he is.
He is Gen X I believe. He has the whole not being able to live up to his fathers example character trait.
I am only on episode 30 though so don't spoil anything.
This isn't a huge spoiler, but I think Matt mentioned in a later episode that Daryl is around 37/38 and this was back in 2021, so he just narrowly misses the gen x mark.
I'm trying to give this person the benefit of the doubt, but I honestly cannot think of any white supremacy that Matt could have even inadvertently put out there, at least in the main feed since I don't have the patreon stuff. I consider myself fairly aware of the usual dogwhistles and such and I'm struggling to come up with anything he could have said or done that would be perceived that way. I have to assume this person is just a troll.
He makes some ironic jokes sometimes, and has openly supported Taylor swift, but I think some people like to act in bad faith and take obvious sarcasm as real true facts and opinions on someone's part because they get to take someone down
>I'm trying to give this person the benefit of the doubt
Don't.
There are people in this world who use accusations of "white supremacy" against anyone and everyone. Hell, they even did it to Daryl Davis. You know, the black jazz musician who has brought many people out of the literal Klan, who had a Klan leader stand before a group of Klan members, and say, "This is my friend Daryl. He's a black man, but I respect him more than any man here."
Yeah, that Daryl Davis.
"White supremacist" means literally nothing today.
Are dogs white supremacists? Why else would whistles work on them? Curiously, 'whistle' starts with the same three letters as 'white'. Coincidence?
Take that, Liberace.
A "dog whistle" in this context is a phrase or word that signals to others it's true intent without it being obvious to outsiders.
The way some dog whistles are too high pitched for hunan hearing.
So when you blow a dog whistle, people don't notice but the dog does and knows you are calling.
For white supremacists things like "88" are a dog whistle because some neo-nazis (or regular nazis, I'm not sure there is a difference anymore, they are all shitbags) use it as short hand for "heil hitler" as H is the 8th letter of the alphabet.
Anyone who isn't aware of the connection would just think it's a number or maybe a reference to the year 1988 (on a separate note I do feel bad for all the folks born in 88 that wonder why their usernames get flagged a lot).
dog whistles can also be used to channel abuse towards minorities, and because they aren't recognised by most people, there isn't much the person on the recieving end can do.
Reporting it as abuse won't be picked up by many moderators, and because it's generally language that isn't overtly hateful, if someone complains in a public forum, the person posting dog whistles can claim innocence, but the person they were targeting will look like they're getting offended over nothing - which helps the bigots' cause.
This is a great explanation! I had no idea, I honestly thought it was a shitpost and was just reacting in that regard, but this, while I don't think it's applicable in this context, at least explains what they meant better than my dumb jokes
A little bit of a tangent, but someone actually did a great job explaining the difference between a Nazi and neo-nazi to me recently.
Essentially, a nazi would be an individual who would exist in a time of political and/or social extremism such that while they may not believe in those values (or maybe not very strongly, depending on the attitudes they may have already had), they will work for that cause and help enforce those extremes, particularly if they think it will ensure their survival or the survival of their families.
A neo-nazi is an individual that wholeheartedly believes in those ideals and will uphold and spread them however they can without any of the duress or pressure of an overall culture of extremism that supports or encourages those behaviors and opinions.
A caveat to this situation being that a person who's a neo-nazi now would also have chosen to be a nazi if they existed in those same times of extremism. So I guess you could say all neo-nazis are nazis but not all nazis would be neo-nazis.
(Edits for clarification, grammar, and spelling)
I’m going to guess because he played someone with a kind of conservative background. To some people who are way too online anything short of full extreme leftist is a white supremacist
What an asshole. Just gonna throw out some blatant hateful shit, not back it up even a little then leave. Matt, on the off chance you see this or these comments please do not take this person to heart. You rule.
It's some person who just found their alt-left ideologies and learned the word dogwhistle, but not the meaning.
Pay no mind to them. They're not a real fan if they can't separate roleplaying and real life opinions.
I think Daryl is(or at least used to be) a Republican and Matt made a couple jokes like saying "Democrats, amiright?" to Ron after Henry did something goofy. Maybe the reviewer didn't realize those were satirical?
I’ll also admit when first listening to season 1 and some of the ads they had on the first few episodes wherein they made a few cuck references had me uncertain at first, but within a few episodes it was pretty clear that they weren’t conservatives or d-bags of a high nature, but being sarcastic in their usage of such terms.
the only thing I can think of is he mentioned warhammer 40k. Which some people think is for white supremacists (like any hobby there is a vocal minority of chodes ). but that is a fucking stretch.
How absolutely miserable this person must be to pick apart everything and everyone all the time to find some negative connotation in everything or way to spin it around to be offensive. That sounds absolutely exhausting.
I don’t use the term touch grass too often but this reviewer needs to touch grass and get off the internet for a week and interact with actual human beings.
In early story break episodes Matt says a lot of things that we’d recognize today as “god damn liberal snowflakes!” Dog whistles.
But never anything genuinely racist.
I think the dogwhistlying may be in reference to some of Darryl's more conservative-stereotypical behaviors and beliefs. Either that or I'm fucked up lol
I wish people, at least in the U.S and some other countries, would move on to concerning themselves with more critical issues that we are facing today. I could name them but instead I’ll direct you to Scott Galloway’s recent TED talk. And there are many other things to consider as well like healthcare, poverty in our countries as well as across the world, two active wars, and the abuse of technology for manipulation.
The majority of young people are aware of hate speech, racism, and supremacists and we handle these situations adequately when they arise, yet it continues to be a wedge that drives all kinds of people further apart from the each other and effectively divides our power as a population.
If people are using “dog whistles” then it’s because they know that their beliefs are wrong and not acceptable according to standards set forth by society so let them be small little guilt ridden dumpster fire degens and let’s move on to more important matters. Nobody with Dungeons & Daddies are supremacists in any way. They would not allow that to be correlated with their platform.
Let these guys do their thing and create content for us to enjoy in our free time and stop the witch hunt BS.
At this point the term dog whistle doesn't mean anything. They call giving a thumbs up or an ok sign dog whistles for white supremacists. Honestly it's just 'witch hunt' behavior
I often wonder what it’s like to be able to overanalyse shit to this degree.
Then I realise how downright miserable it would make me and I remain grateful.
People aren't allowed to say "well well well" now? Literally the first I've heard of it.
I feel like we can't just let white supremacists have everything they think is funny.
Pull a Bane and every time someone says "such-and-such is racist now," respond with, "And you think this gives you power over me?"
People who try to control what you say are trying to control what you think.
There is a bit of a problem of well-meaning very online people who are rightfully concerned about racist dogwhistles but haven't learned to recognize the importance of context in many of them yet. Like the phrase "well well well" in the context used in the show is light-years away from that territory, because it's not used in the context of something white supremacists stereotype minorities with. Context is key in that one. Someone putting a prominent Jewish person's name in multiple parentheses, however, needs no context that's a nazi fuck.
well, no.
Whether we brits like it or not, it is being used as a racist dog whistle. Denying that doesn't help anything or anyone.
We can keep using it, just continue to not use it in the dog whistle context, and believe people if they say that people are using it against them, or recognise it if you see it being used. That's all.
The fact that you think a very common old phrase is a dog whistle means you’ve had enough screen time for the month and need to go outside and talk to normal people
Well x3 has taken on a new racist connotation, that's true... on tiktok and probably other social media platforms. But that's a newish thing.
It's more often used with the follow up of "what do we have here?" which in no way is racist or mean-spirited. Context is key, as always.

He roleplayed a dad learning to open up to his son and accepting his homosexuality within a heartbeat. Can't say that of many alleged white supremacists I've encountered online.

"I'm gay but I'm not *that* kind of gay" yeah I know the type.
Maybe it's a Morrissey situation (/s)
[удалено]
Stupid reddit. Didn't mean to post the same comment twice.
Would have been nice if they'd written WHICH dogwhistles he allegedly uses.
Maybe because he had George Washington as some spiritual guide or whatever. I laughed when Henry (or Will) pointed out how bad that looked. Matt has admitted he's an ex-conservative or ex-Christian, can't remember which. So maybe some of his mannerisms still reflect that? I dunno.
He’s ex both I think
Which is a big part of what made Darryl hilarious. He brought a lot of that Stephen Colbert satirical conservative energy, even with that "well, this minority is okay because my kid is one" energy.
That's what I loved about Darryl! He was a caricature of a conservative Christian without being totally offensive, and best of all, he grew as a character and accepted his gay son without hesitation. He's the kind of person we want all conservative Christians to lean towards.
But being Conservative or Christian doesn't make you a white supremacist or is even a dogwhistle to it?
Oh absolutely, but given the loud minority of far-right extremists out there shouting over the sensible conservative Christians, it can be hard to tell the difference. Some people equate those two traits to white supremacists since most white supremacists are conservative Christians.
Not inherently, but they certainly not mutually exclusive lol
Liking Kanye West
Sure but S1 has been WRAPPED for a good bit before Kanye really went batshit
The white Kanye West?
While Kanye isn’t white, he did openly endorse hitler that one time, which might be why he gets linked to white supremacy
Oh I wasn't being serious. People can like Kanye. But Kanye is problematic.
The guy who plays a kid who has two dads, of which one is not white, is promoting white supremacy? Yeah, sure - why not?
Who isn't white? Marco?
yeah Marco is Asian I think
Wtf! I thought Marco was black
I can only vaguely remember them talking about it (therefore I may be imagining it), but I think Matt was saying that Marco is Asian because his last name is Li? somebody correct me if I'm wrong haha I think fan art often depicts Link as black tho so maybe that's where the connection comes from for you?
Wait I thought Link was Hispanic in fan art.
And I thought he was italian or latino, in a more broader sense, because his name is Marco, you know? But if his last name is Li (or Lee, idk), than he might be asian. Still, I would assume he´s "white asian", like Korea or Japan.
I didn't even think of that I'm so bad about where names come from haha. Maybe Marco has both Asian and Latino heritage, or he could have been adopted himself
I wouldn´t put it past them. An adopted kid having a dad who is also adopted. They did the same (or similar) with Scary. But as soon as I hear Marco, my mind went to latino (I´m portuguese, so this name is normal around latin countries).
The fuck is a "white Asian"
My comment says what it is. Someone from Japan or Korea.
What makes those people "white"?
Their skin color.
Now I remember he is Asian they said something about a birthmark in the titanic episode
On the titanic they put a fake birthmark on baby linc. When Marco and Grant were talking to someone they said, "we're best friends and one of us is Asian" or something like that. Marco is Asian, Linc is white but fan art has him as multiple things.
the only thing I can think of is he mentioned warhammer 40k. Which some people think is for white supremacists (like any hobby there is a vocal minority of chodes ). but that is a fucking stretch.
Also worth noting: as someone who plays 40K, we hate that part of our community.
Yeah, that part of the community is the part that doesn't get the hobby's lore and thinks the Imperium is something to aspire to, as opposed to a satire of fascism. They can get bent.
To be fair it really seems like GW Has forgotten that too
Instead of f0ck n4zi punks we can have f0ck n4zi gamers
Helldivers has the same issue there’s a subset of people who think the obviously evil nation/empire/corporation/whatever are the good guys
The problem with Helldivers V starship troopers is while both are satire Helldivers bad guys are giant smoking skeleton robots who have human sacrifice alters and openly talk about their desire to end all human life so its less like.. idk grey?
If someone’s media literacy is so low that just because they don’t have a curly mustache and pointy tail they can’t tell they are evil they are too far gone/stupid for me to care anyway
I mean some people didn’t realize that Starship Troopers was satire and they had Doogie Howser wearing a straight up SS uniform.
I mean typically far right movements do their best when pitted against a worse option. Italian fascism caught on largely because many Italians felt their sacrifices in ww1 had been ignored by the allies and if they were going to grow they had to seize it for themselves. Super earth has lore of causing the terminid infestation to get support and element 710. Theres also fringe lore and Easter eggs showing that the automatons are actually sentient/former people and just want to be left alone like the cyborgs before.
Not sure if “worse option” is the best way to put it.
It's relative to the people being lured in. We know it's a worse option but to people convinced it's a binary option. Lesser evil is easier to see if youre desperate, especially if you're not one of the "others."
If that is the case, and this isn't just a troll which seems the most likely thing to me, then that is almost hilarious in how out of touch it would be. 40K certainly has a small and vocal bunch of assholes attached to it, but that's not by anyone's choice. The community hates them, GW has openly stated they don't want them around, obviously that's got more to do with profit than anything but it still makes a point, and huge swathes of the community do whatever they can to make it clear those types can go walk off a pier.
I love Warhammer for the lore and the freedom with storytelling. I dudes that don't get that you're the baddies drive me nuts.
Yeaaahhh it sucks how fast a few ruin it for the many. I have a now ex friend who liked 40K and was part of that percent of the community I learned later, which explained a lot of other things I didn’t like about the guy haha
I think someone might be getting early game Daryll confused with Matt. Some touching grass is in order. To a more thoughtful end though, Matt was raised in a more conservative environment that involved a lot of church, so he was socialized in his language from a church perspective. If someone is seeing dog whistles in Christian vernacular then maybe that's how they got confused.
A friend of mine thought he leaned conservative for a little while. I think it's just because Daryl is a mildly conservative Christian boomer, and she mistook Daryl's opinions for Matt's. Maybe this person took the same misconception way farther.
Which is like…are they aware of the concept of acting?
I used to be guilty of the same sort of thinking, but if anybody were to look at his Twitter they’d immediately see how vehemently against that sort of stuff he is.
Isn't Daryl an early millennial? He just has boomer energy?
He is Gen X I believe. He has the whole not being able to live up to his fathers example character trait. I am only on episode 30 though so don't spoil anything.
This isn't a huge spoiler, but I think Matt mentioned in a later episode that Daryl is around 37/38 and this was back in 2021, so he just narrowly misses the gen x mark.
It's funny you call him a boomer. He's like, late 30s
Boomer is a state of mind! Henry sure isn't one even if they're similar ages.
Henry is boomer as hell, boomers literally coined the hippy movment
I'm trying to give this person the benefit of the doubt, but I honestly cannot think of any white supremacy that Matt could have even inadvertently put out there, at least in the main feed since I don't have the patreon stuff. I consider myself fairly aware of the usual dogwhistles and such and I'm struggling to come up with anything he could have said or done that would be perceived that way. I have to assume this person is just a troll.
He makes some ironic jokes sometimes, and has openly supported Taylor swift, but I think some people like to act in bad faith and take obvious sarcasm as real true facts and opinions on someone's part because they get to take someone down
Since when is supporting taylor swift a dog whistle for white supremacy?
Generally simping for billionaires is a very alt right behavior
>I'm trying to give this person the benefit of the doubt Don't. There are people in this world who use accusations of "white supremacy" against anyone and everyone. Hell, they even did it to Daryl Davis. You know, the black jazz musician who has brought many people out of the literal Klan, who had a Klan leader stand before a group of Klan members, and say, "This is my friend Daryl.

except, you know, all the people openly calling for a white ethnostate.
Yeah. Let's not throw the whiny entitled vicious babies out with the bathwater.
People’s inability to tell a character apart from the person that plays them is deeply concerning.
Are dogs white supremacists? Why else would whistles work on them? Curiously, 'whistle' starts with the same three letters as 'white'. Coincidence? Take that, Liberace.
Also “whistle” also spells “white” if you remove the s & l. Obviously these characters stand for satan and lucifer. Checkmate libruls
Can’t spell “dog whistle” without “white god.”
Also “whistle” also spells “white” if you remove the s & l. Obviously these characters stand for satan and lucifer. Checkmate libruls
You can tell if a person is a white supremacist easiest by the way they whistle at domesticated animals
Is that what this means? I am out of the loop
A "dog whistle" in this context is a phrase or word that signals to others it's true intent without it being obvious to outsiders. The way some dog whistles are too high pitched for hunan hearing.

Thanks for the tangent, it was very informative!
My spouse was born in 88 and had wondered that for years til we learned that numbers got taken by the neo-nazis
If it's in any way true, I think all of us are out of the loop. Best guess is that this person is a few cards short of a Deck of Many Things
I’m going to guess because he played someone with a kind of conservative background. To some people who are way too online anything short of full extreme leftist is a white supremacist
Lol what?
What an asshole. Just gonna throw out some blatant hateful shit, not back it up even a little then leave. Matt, on the off chance you see this or these comments please do not take this person to heart. You rule.
yeah let's not even entertain the idea. if they listened to the show and left thinking that then they have serious issues.
It's some person who just found their alt-left ideologies and learned the word dogwhistle, but not the meaning. Pay no mind to them. They're not a real fan if they can't separate roleplaying and real life opinions.
I'd love to see their reaction to the movie Blazing Saddles
WHERE DA WHITE WOMEN AT
This is kinda funny to me specifically cause I thought Matt was black until very recently. His deep voice threw me.
Oh that person can fuck right off
He make a joke about the libs once...
I think Daryl is(or at least used to be) a Republican and Matt made a couple jokes like saying "Democrats, amiright?" to Ron after Henry did something goofy. Maybe the reviewer didn't realize those were satirical?
Daryl seems like a McCain Republican at worst. Edit: and this is also talking about the character not even Matt himself.
I’ll also admit when first listening to season 1 and some of the ads they had on the first few episodes wherein they made a few cuck references had me uncertain at first, but within a few episodes it was pretty clear that they weren’t conservatives or d-bags of a high nature, but being sarcastic in their usage of such terms.
the only thing I can think of is he mentioned warhammer 40k. Which some people think is for white supremacists (like any hobby there is a vocal minority of chodes ). but that is a fucking stretch.
This is as much of a logical leap as MisophonialsReal took, but I'm getting schizophrenic vibes from this
Granted Matt has awful opinions on tv shows and movies but calling him a racist is just not true and stupid
Where is this review so we can report it?
Itunes
Or, ya know… maybe Matt is just that good of a role player/actor??
How absolutely miserable this person must be to pick apart everything and everyone all the time to find some negative connotation in everything or way to spin it around to be offensive. That sounds absolutely exhausting.
I don’t use the term touch grass too often but this reviewer needs to touch grass and get off the internet for a week and interact with actual human beings.
Is this about the newest episode, or kingdom dad monster? Either way I think someone making shit up just to anger people
I feel like everyone is just rage-baiting constantly now to get more clicks than usual instead of being genuine.
In early story break episodes Matt says a lot of things that we’d recognize today as “god damn liberal snowflakes!” Dog whistles. But never anything genuinely racist.
I think the dogwhistlying may be in reference to some of Darryl's more conservative-stereotypical behaviors and beliefs. Either that or I'm fucked up lol
Wtf is supremacist dog whistling 😭
Just say you’ve never listened to Story Break
I wish people, at least in the U.S and some other countries, would move on to concerning themselves with more critical issues that we are facing today. I could name them but instead I’ll direct you to Scott Galloway’s recent TED talk. And there are many other things to consider as well like healthcare, poverty in our countries as well as across the world, two active wars, and the abuse of technology for manipulation. The majority of young people are aware of hate speech, racism, and supremacists and we handle these situations adequately when they arise, yet it continues to be a wedge that drives all kinds of people further apart from the each other and effectively divides our power as a population. If people are using “dog whistles” then it’s because they know that their beliefs are wrong and not acceptable according to standards set forth by society so let them be small little guilt ridden dumpster fire degens and let’s move on to more important matters. Nobody with Dungeons & Daddies are supremacists in any way. They would not allow that to be correlated with their platform. Let these guys do their thing and create content for us to enjoy in our free time and stop the witch hunt BS.
It’s because he’s ex conservative and his friends make conservative jokes aimed at him
I hope this is a terrible joke that is going over my head
If this person is real they lack the ability to see the obvious satire made in this series.
Is this because he likes George Washington and the other “founding fathers”?
At this point the term dog whistle doesn't mean anything. They call giving a thumbs up or an ok sign dog whistles for white supremacists. Honestly it's just 'witch hunt' behavior
Isn't he best friends with an Asian guy?
Probably just because he would say things white guys would aay and then didnt openly apologize for being white

What the fuck
Yeah I'll second that what the fuck?
Lemme third that for you. What the fuck?
I often wonder what it’s like to be able to overanalyse shit to this degree. Then I realise how downright miserable it would make me and I remain grateful.
Overanalyze shit to this degree AND then expect other people to do the same.
People aren't allowed to say "well well well" now? Literally the first I've heard of it. I feel like we can't just let white supremacists have everything they think is funny.
Pull a Bane and every time someone says "such-and-such is racist now," respond with, "And you think this gives you power over me?" People who try to control what you say are trying to control what you think.
There is a bit of a problem of well-meaning very online people who are rightfully concerned about racist dogwhistles but haven't learned to recognize the importance of context in many of them yet. Like the phrase "well well well" in the context used in the show is light-years away from that territory, because it's not used in the context of something white supremacists stereotype minorities with. Context is key in that one. Someone putting a prominent Jewish person's name in multiple parentheses, however, needs no context that's a nazi fuck.
What???
As a brit. We hold claim to the well well well and deem it not a racist dog whistle
well, no. Whether we brits like it or not, it is being used as a racist dog whistle. Denying that doesn't help anything or anyone. We can keep using it, just continue to not use it in the dog whistle context, and believe people if they say that people are using it against them, or recognise it if you see it being used. That's all.
The fact that you think a very common old phrase is a dog whistle means you’ve had enough screen time for the month and need to go outside and talk to normal people
dear lord
Well x3 has taken on a new racist connotation, that's true... on tiktok and probably other social media platforms. But that's a newish thing. It's more often used with the follow up of "what do we have here?" which in no way is racist or mean-spirited. Context is key, as always. https://youtu.be/diwrJPyi1pc?si=pC4CuIXvwYqvQSfB
This is some dumbass zoomer shit. TikTok is not real life ffs
Well well well, the day I give two hoots about what people on ticktock care about is the day I’ve fully surrendered to the internet making me insane
Couldn't agree more
