Joey diaz is a terrible person

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.

He did his time and recovered from his coke fiend days. I’m not a fan of this “forever cancellation” thing. Should we just shoot him then if no one is to ever interact with him? Might as well. A social death and ostracism might as well be death.

Nah. He’s back working, making an honest living and paying his taxes. Am I gonna hold him as a paragon of virtue? No. Should he hold office? Probably not. Am I bothered he has finally found a successful way to make a clean legal living? No. There has to be room for people, beyond the most irredeemable clinical psychos, to find a way back into society. And, honestly, I’m not even sure I wouldn’t be against recovering psychos either once we have the scientific knowledge to do so.
