I like when journalists get super dramatic in their defense of other journalists. I mean I saw people use the words brave, courageous and noble non sarcastically. Pretty great.

This is particularly great when sports journalists are involved

Yes, sports journos hold their role as weirdly sacrosanct

In that blog ecosystem I do visit Jalopnik and Gizmodo a fair bit.  I'm a sucker for stories about cars and gadgets.

Thanks for reaffirming why I have everything barstool muted.  Good god what an insecure trash human being.
That seems a bit dramatic, but you do you.

Going out of your way to mute all barstool accounts, because they don't pump out "eff trump" 24/7/365 does. But ok chi.

There's a given difference between the two. You can close your eyes to it, but deadspin is the whiny hipster, too cool for school, left of the bunch, while people bitch about barstool for being conservative. Knowing hamburglar's history in the pit, I just went ahead and cracked the code for everyone. This thread got brought up because people are getting fired for sharing their political views. That's how we got here.

I guess I just didn't realize that misogyny was strictly a conservative thing. Do they actually talk politics on Barstool Sports?

I think you are just assuming they are conservative because they are assholes. Liberals can be assholes, too, 420seriouscat69.

They are a protected class in society, we must not criticize them.

One google search and it's almost like I wrote the article myself.

https://www.boston.com/sports/media/2019/02/26/megan-greenwell-deadspin-barstool

Deadspin kneeled when everything became politically correct, barstool didn't. That's it.

Quote
As the #MeToo stories swept journalism, some of the content that made Deadspin popular went from a source of inspiration to a source of embarrassment. The site “has a disgusting past that can never be atoned for,” wrote Diana Moskovitz, a current Deadspin staffer who has reported extensively on domestic violence.

And with it have come the mea culpas from Deadspin writers.

Magary: “I did gay jokes. I did rape jokes . . . I don’t want to make those jokes anymore.”

Longtime deputy editor Barry Petchesky: “There was a fat joke. There was an anorexia joke. . . . Men (cis, straight, white, neurotypical) have it so . . . easy.”

At the same time, Barstool Sports has, if anything, moved in the opposite direction. Founded in the Boston area a few years before Deadspin, Barstool always has trafficked in an aggressive fratiness with none of Deadspin’s hipster smugness. And as Barstool has continued to insist that sports should remain free of all political correctness — one of its slogans is “Saturday is for the Boys” — the company has grown markedly, netting a $25 million investment from media holding company The Chernin Group; it now produces some of the most popular sports podcasts in the industry, and huge stars such as Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield appear as guests.

So deciding not to make fun of gay people and rape victims is a liberal thing?

Barstool's sense of humor is mostly being internet trolls, thus Portnoy's tweets.  They don't provide anything funny, insightful, or new to me.  They also steal content, dox people, and think it's funny/entertaining to treat women like crap.  It's not political to me so much as it's both sad and terribly uninteresting.

I find a lot of their twitter content humorous. Big cat is a great follow and a great guy. I don't know when this troll board started being offended by other trolls, but it's definitely a thing now. Dave is a POS, but he's still funny. He's the Trim of barstool.

And Dave dunking on deadspin after they've been talking crap on them for years is a fine move to me. He feels he won and i'm OK with that.

I think there are power dynamics at play with trolling.  When gE trolled whole fanbases, I think it's funny.  When gE trolled individuals, I would now view it as mean although I'm sure I thought it was funny at the time.  Barstool being a multimillion-dollar company that attacks individuals is upsetting to me (although Portnoy himself taking shots at the old editor doesn't really bother me).  No doubt you've felt ganged up on by gE members at times and that was shitty.  I think barstool does that to people to the 1,000th degree.

I'm sure they do have some interesting personalities in there, I just don't care to sift through the trash to find them.
