Crows Chat That 'Doesnt Deserve Its Own Thread' Thread part 2

[1970crow]

Pat Cummins was recently torched for his Alinta energy climate change spiel as an example

What did he say?

 

[1970crow]

We do have a lot of lefty mods…..

a lot? Less words just saying we have lefty mods. There's only the one stripe and if you venture anywhere where chidf is posting it becomes clear as to why.

 

[WetCrow1991]

He's been a clinical psychologist for a long time and taught at a number of colleges including Harvard.

Irrelevant appeal to authority.

What are the topics that are 'outside his wheelhouse'?

All the things outside of clinical psychology that he constantly talks about positioning himself as an alt right self help grifter.

Cleaning your room is fantastic advice particularly because it applies to everyone not matter your circumstances.

Where did I say it wasn't? I said it isn't groundbreaking, it isn't.

They are public, high paid representatives of the club. I think it's reasonable to expect that anything that would generate controversy should be kept out of the public eye. As any organisation would expect for their important public facing employees

Rubbish. What if he went to a Greens climate rally?

Well there certainly wouldn't be any all meat diets there, but probably some drug addicts.

Attending isn't the issue

Attending isn't the issue

Ok. What if he went to a climate rally and posted a photo? You're saying he should get a "reminder" from the club?

Garbage.

If that would be reasonably expected to be controversial and cause issues for the club then yes

I think Peterson is a bit of charlatan and I don't agree with a lot of what he says. But I can also understand why people might like to go an watch him speak. Can someone who is upset/offended by Crows players going to watch him explain why it's a problem?

He's just being inclusive.

I'm saying neither situation is controversial or causes "issues" for the club, and in neither situation would he have been spoken to.

It isn't controversial until a shithead journo looking to go after the club again (eg. Sam McClure) uses the ammunition to drag it out and cause issues. When it comes to us the media loves to blow literally anything up into a story if they can. All I'm saying is don't give them any ammo whatsoever and it's not that hard to do that

I think everyone agrees on this.

It's the definition of something controversial that's the issue.

Posting a photo with JP most reasonably minded people would say is not controversial.

Unfortunately reasonably minded people are not considered in the media. I mean someone already wrote a story on this!

 

[WetCrow1991]

I don't think it is controversial. It just makes sense. Low value, unsuccessful men are Jordan Peterson's target audience. And I think that sums up the Crows no.1 Ruck.

I think you're overthinking it. About 4 people care.

You say that but then you see stories like this:

https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/aflw/richmonds-jess-hosking-slapped-down-over-kill-bhes-message/news-story/78f53b20939894a7eed27e43d56522f5

The AFL actually warned an AFLW player for having "kill bitches" written on their strapping. Something most people wouldn't care about or find controversial or offensive - until a journo makes it a story out of nowhere.

No ammo = no story

Yeah but everyone laughed at the AFL about it. No one cares.

 

[Sanders]

Same.

From the little I’ve seen he’s a pretty mild 1950s style conservative. Not my cup of tea but I struggle to understand why he gets so much attention and angry opppsition when there are much more extreme right-wing views out there.

My biggest query is why people who clearly haven’t read any of his books don’t see that as a limitation on their opinion

 

[Sanders]

I'm just sick of Jordan Peterson videos coming up as suggestion/autoplay whenever I go on YouTube

It's like it's pegged me for a late 30s male and thinks "oh this guy is what most of you morons in your demographic watch, so here he is" - same with Joe Rogan

I'm not "offended" by them but reserve my right to think lowly of people who regularly listen to them

Woah Jordan Peterson is jacked, we should draft him to replace ROB.

Yeah, but the analytics they use tie certain topics together, so if you engage with particular content it will serve you other content it thinks you would like. Often completely unrelated content.

 

[Sanders]

If that would be reasonably expected to be controversial and cause issues for the club then yes

So you’re advocating for arbitrary perceptions of controversy to be a device of censorship?

This is too mild to even rate as controversial.

This isn’t holocaust denial or David Icke’s lizard people conspiracy

 

[Sanders]

exactly
