Tucker Carlson's top writer resigns after secretly posting racist and sexist remarks in online forum under a pseudonym
- Thread starter ElectricBlanketFire
- Start date
I know it's easy to flippantly say "of course, is anyone surprised, etc", and move on, but this should be treated like a big fucking deal. Imagine if a top writer for MSNBC was revealed to be... well, I can't think of any counter equivalent of being a hateful racist... perhaps some right-wing boogeyman like a member of antifa. You can be damn sure that the right wing would treat it as an indictment of both the network and anyone that's ever had anything to do with the network. You'd probably have Republicans calling for investigations into MSNBC, demanding the host and producer resign, and demanding that any Democrats that ever appeared on that show denounce the network, etc. I'd really like to see the Democrats unleash some of that fire and brimstone on Tucker Carlson and Fox News for this. Carlson and the other writers and producers at Fox News can't seriously plausibly deny that they knew that this writer held these beliefs.
Damn :(
NeoGAF is like your best friend who became a meth-head. It's still too soon.
Good job, I read about two racists fancying each other over a date. Or maybe not, there was no second date apparently.
It was an incel forum wasn't it.Oh man
eh I'm not sure that alternate series of events is what would happen. the equivalent would be like...I dunno, the head writer for chris hayes' program turning out to have been a regular guest on True Anon or something. in which case they would be fired and there would be tankers of digital ink spilled and then it would be forgotten about in a week, which is going to be what happens here. nothing would materially change, it's just funny to watch from the other side.
I think there's enough audio clips out there, especially from, a Bubba the Love Sponge appearance (?) that prove Tucker agrees with a lot of it.
Democrats already regularly call Tucker a white supremacist though. It's not like this isn't already a talking point.
The guy was probably fired for not being racist enough for carlson.

No, they don't allow that kind of stuff on this website
They're scared lol.
What a racist pos. fuck him. and fuck tucker.
Laughing hard.
What, stalking and obsessing over people who have no idea who you are? That's definitely allowed there now.
I checked the site out of curiosity, the site has a worse design than you can imagine. Also immediately racist right off the bat.
I'm sure he would be quick to assure us, however, that his abstinence from dating and sex is completely voluntary.
Are you perhaps confused?
He said neogaf. You replied with something that didn't make sense.
It's sad.
I recently stopped by and they even have a stickied Resetera Discussion in the Communities section that reads like a vindictive ex.
148 posts since 2017. It's safe to say this site is not that posters main site they post on...
In that case, I'm sure you wouldn't mind explaining what you meant?
That was my first instinct but I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they weren't defending a literal white supremacist forum.
Alas.
I'm a lurker, not a poster. I've posted here more than I ever did 4 years on GAF.
And no, I have not been active since. . . well the existence of this site.
You might want to read up on history of this website, specifically why it came into fruition.
What GAF? How was I defending them in the slightest? That site is literally tumbleweeds. Nobody has gone there since. . . 2017, coincidentally the year of this sites inception. Look at their Alexa ranking if you don't believe me, its like in 15,000s currently and I believe was in the top 2000 or so back when it was actually relevant.
Okay this is why I think you might be confused. I'm fully aware of the history. I was in the Discord chats when it was being put together.
But also: please don't deflect. Answer my question, please.
You said this in relation to that site:
They clearly do, though. Last time I looked at that place some guy was openly flaunting his homophobia, thinking it was completely justified. He posted about it across several threads and was still not banned over it.
Fun fact, I'm actually friends with some people who knew this guy a little in college. He was briefly part of their fraternity, but got kicked out for making a death threat, allegedly. With a mouth full of garlic knots. Not clear if the knots were the proposed weapon or if he was eating them at the time, I asked but it's late :P
Anyway, most of the rest of what they said was he had a real crusty incel sorta vibe and nasty fuckin' socks.
