Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Wed Nov-15-17 11:46 AM

13212784, the founder of vice is a hero of the alt right.

went on to start the proud boys.

like the tech world...a lot of these dudes youd expect to be bleeding heart liberals are really libertarian fragile white male mens rights types.

Back in the day I used to consider him a bit of a hero - hero is a strong word, but I used to genuinely appreciate the shit he did and his voice

But, as the years passed he just started to fly out into this weird other area, I think this started back in...2010 or so when he started to get involved with Takimag

He is genuinely a piece of shit
13212805, pretty much..

13212809, Yo, I wonder if his Native American wife just looks at him like...

13212802, I love a lot of the work that Vice does... But I'm also very concerned
Posted by Hitokiri, Wed Nov-15-17 12:58 PM
about the lack of voice women have on the network. There only shows hosted by women are Black Market: Dispatches and that fashion show. On Vice News there are a few women corespondents and one of them is even black, but women are desperately lacking around there
13212804, Welp, sorry Desus, sorry Mero.
Posted by double negative, Wed Nov-15-17 12:59 PM
13212842, they'll be fine. another network has probably already made an offer
Posted by Damali, Wed Nov-15-17 02:38 PM
13212939, huh? it aint like vice is going anywhere...
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Wed Nov-15-17 05:18 PM
13213149, Lol
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Nov-16-17 12:41 PM
13213228, not saying that...meaning someone could make an offer to lure them away

13212813, Their editor at Broadly (their women channel) was BFF with Milo

One of the co-founders has turned into a hipster Rush Limbaugh/Richard Spencer as mentioned above.

Ive followed vice for years and enjoyed the magazine but it was never not problematic as hell. The whole TV/Docu is just a successful makeover for a bunch of 'we are so lefty and edgy' racist/sexist/homophobia origins. I assumed that once the real mainstream money started rolling in they tried cleaning up their act, seems the rot was deep.
13212820, yeah toeing the line was always part of Vice's identity
Posted by hardware, Wed Nov-15-17 01:49 PM
they've actually cleaned up since back in the early days.
13212961, yea, plus their vibe fluctuates wildly from vertical to vertical
Posted by Nodima, Wed Nov-15-17 07:20 PM
like, when they relaunched Vice Gaming as Waypoint it became almost over concerned with what any marginalized group might be offended by and still often feels like it's overintellectualizing certain elements of video games (and I really like three of its four main presences, they just come off as an echo chamber of wokeness).
