@el-shmiablo I think we just need to stop engaging at this point.

Nobody is defending Trudeau. You dont get to call his own defence of himself part of a double-standard.

Jokes aside, that is pretty much the alt-right's strategy for delegitimizing racism. Saying vile things disguised as jokes so that they can blame it on those offended and avoid accountability.

@tokyoslim last week he would have got me 27 points had I played him, so I don't know what to do with him.

There's a difference between offensive humor and mean-spirited humor, and surprise surprise, racial slurs fall in the latter category. I forget who said this, but someone said that offensive humor only works if the person/people the joke is about find it funny. So, if you make a racially charged joke and it appeals primarily to white people, you've got a problem.

Doesn't help that I was banking a lot of points on DeSean Jackson, only for him to get injured immediately.

All of your examples are people who did stupid shit and then faced the consequences of their actions. That's not being canceled, that's being held accountable.

Also, sure Louis CK asked for permission, but when a person with power --- the power to end your career --- asks you to do something, it's not as voluntary as it sounds.

JPEGMAFIA's All My Heroes Are Cornballs

I loved Veteran, but throughout Peggy teetered on unlistenable. So much of that album is abrasive and abstract to the point where it isn't really a fun listen. That's not to say there weren't some beautiful songs on there, 1539 N. Calvert being a particular highlight, but most of it sounded intentionally grimy and combative. In his most recent effort though, Peggy gets rid of most of the abrasiveness while still maintaining his abstract flair, resulting in a really beautiful album.

AMHAC is a really stunning album. Peggy still has his lyrical prowess, always in the middle of satire and sincerity, but with much more polish than on any of his previous work. He sometimes implements choruses, which were pretty much absent on Veteran if I remember correctly, and he utilizes autotune to sing some parts as well.

On Veteran, much of Peggy's stuff sounded like it could either be genius, or simply a combination of sounds that barely work individually, let alone together. On AHMAC, there is no more wondering; I truly believe Peggy is a genius producer. Much of it actually reminds me of the chaotic beauty of Nier Automata, with the frequent use of acoustic guitar. It always sounds somewhat chaotic, but it's chaos that makes sense. In fact, by the end of the album the chaos is barely noticeable, as if you forget that what you are listening to is not conventional.

There are many moments on the album that left me in shock during my first listen, only because I couldn't believe Peggy made something so beautiful. This is truly an enthralling album, and it is 100% in contention for AOTY.

@acidtrip-69 fuck off with your constant cynicism. You can not like something, but quit being such an ass about it.

@acidtrip-69 bro it's like you're looking to cause drama. If you want to criticize something, that's totally cool, but do it in a productive manner. We get it you don't like Kojima, let's fucking move on.
