They've mastered the art of getting people to pay attention to them. Neither of them give a single fuck about the super bowl halftime show

[–] ToTheGraveMyLove@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I don't even know who the fuck any of these people are.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

Trust me, it's better that way.

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 hours ago

I cannot believe that even once, I agree with suicide forest, crypto bro con artist, rug pulling Logan Paul. Even if this is just for attention, like some suggest, it's at least better to have someone wildly popular with younger people (somehow) to be saying this.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The guy who got his jaw broken is the younger and dumber of the two (based solely on this twitter interaction)

[–] Ratio_Tile@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

Dumber is a stretch, but yes

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 hours ago

I chose to not waste brain cells on trying to tell them apart.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 hours ago

He's a way to tell them apart...
One is idiotically stupid, and the other is stupidly idiotic.

I hope that helps.

[–] CPMSP@midwest.social 50 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

THIS guy?

Yeah no. His opinion doesn't matter.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Assuming that's the one with the correct take: yes it does matter, him going out there and making sure his opposing opinion is know is a good thing. It doesn't directly matter to us over here, but he has a large audience and broadly that is a good thing for us.

[–] benderbeerman@lemmy.world 3 points 24 minutes ago

That one is Jake, he's the one in the op at the bottom, with the intolerant opinion. He's playing a heel character here.

The other is Logan, with the message of tolerance, who is playing a face.

Neither of them is being genuine, they are just looking for attention. Both of them.

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 4 points 6 hours ago

shame he didn't break his fingers in addition to his jaw.

We have the expression (well in English for those unaware of it) of a stopped clock being right twice a day for a reason. Guess that expression is probably going to the wayside these days though. Even the worst people make an agreeable point now and then afterall.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

I refuse to let that expression go to the wayside.

[–] pulsey@feddit.org 3 points 1 hour ago

In Germany we say, that even a blind chicken will find a grain sometimes.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 points 3 hours ago

The balls on this guy going around with a {surname} {given name} naming format though.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 80 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

I don't like any reality where the Japanese death forest YouTuber who decided to play boxer, is anything resembling a voice of reason

[–] zout@fedia.io 19 points 6 hours ago

They're not, everything they do is calculated and PR driven. If they disagree openly on Twitter like this, it's with the purpose to generate publicity to get the audience where they can shill their next scam.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago

Those aren't the same. Death forest is the older one who does WWE, the younger one is the boxer and whose "merch is selling like a god church"

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 38 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

jake paul is the boxer, logan went to wwe

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

Didn't he do boxing for a bit first? Ngl I don't really keep up with him

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago

Reason is in big fucking trouble.

[–] etherphon@midwest.social 25 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Generally I think they get the most popular artist they can manage for the Super Bowl, and he is massively popular, and no one is forcing people to watch. These people are such crybabies it's unbelievable, just turn the dial for a few minutes or whatever, everything has to be this culture war bullshit now and no one can just enjoy anything, so sick of it.

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Imo that's why Bad Bunny's show was great. He never addressed politics directly. He just made his culture look fun.

So now every time someone tries to rope in politics, you can just look at it on it's face and see a good show that makes you happy if you're open minded. So everyone who criticizes it has to work really hard to make it sound bad.

[–] etherphon@midwest.social 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That's smart, just make them look like total bummers, which they are. I have to say, what they are doing is really embarrassing, you can't say you have a superior culture and then trot out the biggest losers in the world. Music and culture in the US has always been hugely derivative of roots and traditional musics, which makes sense since we were all immigrants at some points, but the struggles POC faced in this new world and the music that came from it played a massive role in the development of American music in some way or another, be it derivative or outright theft.

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Not to totally detract from the point of what you're saying, which is totally correct, but... All of everything seems to keep stepping over that it's not just influential on American music, but it is American music. That they keep framing parts of our culture as somehow not shows that it's just racism.

Puerto Rico has been part of the US longer than Oklahoma, new Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, or Hawaii. Puerto Rican culture is more American than whatever weird nonsense they have in Oklahoma.

Certainly, I guess I didn't follow that all the way through. I certainly don't remember this much flack over Gloria Estefan LMAO, and she's CUBAN. They just really ramped up the culture war.

[–] derry@midwest.social 2 points 7 hours ago

Money. That's why. Reaping what is sown by the culture war. See Kid Rock for another example.

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 26 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

It's so crazy that we can come to the same conclusion and only one of us has a half decent reason.

You don't want corporations to be able to do whatever they want because you're a racist scumbag, I don't want corporations to be able to do whatever they want because they have enacted an oligarchy. We are not the same.

With no subtext whatsoever I agree with the idea of "make America great again", however I feel like the people who proudly spout that slogan would heavily disagree with the way that I would go about it. Hint: it would involve a volcano.

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 6 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

it would involve a volcano

Wishing the Yellowstone caldera would do its thing?

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

More of a lord of the rings type of deal, you know how he kind of looks all shriveled up like Gollum?

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yellowstone caldera... thing

Not a thing, apparently. All the blowing about yellowstone blowing is done by people with a single line or two from the scientists' work, and never by the scientists themselves.

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 hours ago

Oh yeah it's definitely not "due super eruption" or anything, that's just some usual media concerning big news!! misinformation. But the area is certainly active and the possibility for an eruption or even a super eruption still exists

Why settle for being great when you could be Amazing. Being "great again" feels like a step back.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

They say that one day and then get angry the next when the rest of us do the thing he wants us to do, but not the way (to whom) he wants us to do it to. Hypocrite is the word.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 11 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Are they related to Aaron Paul?

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 11 points 9 hours ago

They share the same grandfather, Paul Newman.

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 18 points 10 hours ago

I don't think that treasure is linked to the turd brothers. Paul isn't even his original surname.

[–] itsathursday@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Dude is in a relationship with a girl from Netherlands

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 5 points 10 hours ago (16 children)

Which dude and why is that important?

[–] vodka@feddit.org 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Jake is the one with the Dutch girlfriend (she is also a top tier Olympic athlete)

As for why it's important? I guess they're trying to comment on an American with a foreign gf being a racist or something
