Awkward time to admit that I actually listen to one of Bean Dad’s shows. He’s always (somewhat exaggeratedly) positioned himself as an “un-woke” oldster who doesn’t understand anything anymore, but oof, his Twitter history has some incredibly shitty takes.
Originally got into it cuz I listen to several other shows by his co-hosts so I’ve not got an issue dropping it off my list.
Said co-hosts have historically been very publicly pro-LGBT+, pro-BLM, anti-alt right, especially lately, so will be interesting to see how they respond.
Well, this apology certainly seems sincere, and gels with my prior experiences of his comedy persona. Feel free to tell my I’m wrong though, my glasses may well be tinted. http://www.johnroderick.com/an-apology
Bean dad, dialectics of contrition
@kimpegasus not sure I trust to be honest. Because, without full record of what happened, context is lost and we have no way of verifying what he claimed. This is exactly how information control and gaslighting works.
Always be vigilant about performative contrition, these words did not come out of him out of thin air.
If he's genuine, it will show in the way he conducts himself 6-12 months from now.
