article had a lot to say. I agree with some but generally I didn't enjoy reading that. the language he uses just annoys me for some reason.

All cool but has the person who wrote this ever tried DMT?

He openly speaks out against Men's Rights, check out his special Strange Times. There's a segment in there basically saying anyone who believes in Men's Rights needs to shut the fuck up. I can still enjoy the man's comedy and not agree with what he's saying.

The writer uses too much absolutism. He even hints on it about forgiveness for murderers, then condemns people based on one thing they’ve said. But goes on to condemn Joe for not being absolutist with his interviews.

And white knights that there isn’t enough women on his podcasts. No wonder this guy couldn’t figure out why he is popular.

This writer is insufferable. I wonder how many friends he has.

Joe touches on subject well but I would say he doesn't understand Men devasted from Divorce for no fault of his nor doesn't highlights hypocrisy of Feminist agendas like fake MeToo and Fake RAPE allegations

Bill Burr gets men the best IMO. Joe Rogan is great too though, just too much marijuana/DMT talk.

Meh, he has his moments. Can’t say I really listen/watch a lot of his stuff. But, if he at least brings up issues men commonly face out in the open, I can be down with that. With damn near everything out there creating a gynocentric playground, it’s nice to know there is some outlet that still realizes men exist and aren’t all “toxic threats”.

Archive so as to not give the Atlantic anymore clicks than absolutely necessary

I don't think he understands men better than most people at all. He has (I think) 3 daughters and a wife at home. His support of mens rights will only go as far as they allow him to go.

These are both good, if imperfect, points to raise, but neither of them seems to grasp that a good point coming out of the wrong mouth doesn’t count for squat.

I don't agree at all. What is said is always more important than who says it. Also, Joe Rogan is not MRA at all. " He knows that he is privileged by virtue of his gender and his skin color, but in his heart he is sick of being reminded about it." When it comes to men and their place in the world, he is a luke-warm centrist.

The last paragraph is pretty enlightening:

It might unsettle some of us that we must rely on his fans to separate the good stuff from the bad, but that’s the hard work of being a responsible adult in the modern era—knowing what you should consume and what you shouldn’t.

There just seems to be an anti-liberal, authoritarian instinct the guy is fighting against. It’s like he can’t trust people to come up with the same “correct” opinions that he has formed and this is causing discomfort because PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT STUFF THAT COULD BE WRONG AND OMG THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!!!

Its a long advert for joe rogan products.

Joe Rogan is a product and his popularity on youtube is paid for. He isn't going to pop up to the top of the algorithm if you use anonymity services.
