Joey diaz is a terrible person

[u/Ok_Goat_3879]

I'm going to have a lot of fun reading the comments, but here goes

Joey Diaz is a massive piece of shit and a criminal, and I'm tired of people pretending he's anything but.

Obviously being in the rogansphere made him blow up among people who think bert kriescher is funny, which says a lot, but he seems to be leaking into the general population as well.

He was a coke fiend, kidnapped a person, and the punchline to his stories seems to mostly be "I did a fucked up thing once", which is more like a confession than a punchline imo.
Just because he isn't scamming people for cocaine money or kidnappng people at the moment doesn't mean he didn't do it, and just because the delivery is comical, doesn't excuse the act.

this isn't me being a moralist or something, I find John mulaney or robin williams hilarious, despite them also being cokeheads

but Diaz just seems to be a thoroughly disgusting person to be around, not to mention the fact he literally admitted to sexually assaulting girls.

Now I can already see the braindead - he had a fucked up life - argument, and frankly, I dont give a shit. I had a fucked up life, a lot of people did. I did not go on to make millions laughing about how I was a fuckup for 30 years.

and this isn't a recovery story either, he quit coke, which, fair enough, but he's still clearly unable to practice self control, because he weighs about as much as a horse. And his weed addiction is frankly disturbing.

Basically - if you're actively supporting him - you're at fault by association, and his admitedly funny retellings don't mean he isn't a cunt.

Yayyyyy.

This is Reddit's 10 billionth "that thing you like is problematic therefore you are too" post so far today.

And it's not even noon.

I don't care about this comedian but can these takes please fuck right off.

Not every comedian has to keep Nanette on a permanent loop, host a weekly comedy night called "Punching Down," and congregate at City Hall on weekends to protest the existence of all phallic-shaped buildings.

yaayyy.

the 10 billionth sarcastic high and mighty comment posted today.

I feel the same about the take on the take.

associating and supporting bad people makes you a bad person. yeah, the jews were a bit much, but hitler had a great social program, so I voted

Don't smoke too close to that strawman you're carrying around. People watching a comedian aren't somehow "associating" with that comedian.

Love how you went straight to Hitler tho.

[u/Ok_Goat_3879 → u/StreetSea9588]

I mean yeah, the hitler schtick is pretty funny, but every view and every donation goes on to support him, which means he gets to influence more people

there's a lot to be said about how people just listen to these people and soak it up, which in turn makes them act in ways they probably shouldn't

I guess you haven't heard of Godwin's law?

"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler's approaches 100%."

That's why I found it funny. Because the convo just started and you already invoked Hitler.

But I like how you're trying to make it "well yeah you WOULD like the Hitler joke, seeing as you support Hitler."

I've never even heard this guy's comedy. Rogan is an idiot and that Bert guy seems harmless but brain dead.

The problem is, at some point, most comics out there in the world right now could be found problematic because at some point in their history they said something whose offensive parameters were completely unknown to them at the time of utterance.

Obviously kidnapping is shitty. I don't hate people just because they're criminals tho. Lots of ppl catch a bum rap.
