PodcastMovement Conference: We Sold Convention Space to Daily Wire, But We Never Expected Ben Shapiro Would Dare Show Up. We Are Deeply Sorry For the "Harm Done By His Presence."

Those of you who called this "unacceptable" are right. In 9 wonderful years growing and celebrating this medium, [PodcastMovement] has made mistakes. The pain caused by this one will always stick with us. We promise that sponsors will be more carefully considered moving forward. The pain caused by this one will always stick with us.

I make fun of Ben Shapiro for being a little Romulan nerd, but I gotta admit, no one's having panic attack meltdowns due to the harm done by my presence.

Unbelievable.

Second look at Ben Shapiro?

Oh and that reminds me, I still have to cancel the Daily Wire subscription I got just to watch What Is a Woman?

That's how they get you. That's how they get you.

Replying to @PodcastMovement

This simply can't be tolerated and can't go unpunished. The people at @PodcastMovement who allowed this to happen need to be held accountable! I hope that someone was fired for this incredibly harmful event. Until there's accountability I will no longer support [PodcastMovement]! Cheers.

It's honestly impossible to tell whether this is a joke.

He has pronouns, blm hashtag and a Ukrainian flag so I'm guessing he's in earnest.

That's how I figured it. I clicked on his Bio and saw "he/him" and thought, "Wow, this guy means it."

Regarding "Unfriending" -- dissociating from a friend or family member online due to a political disagreement -- this liberal newspaper claims "The animosity goes both ways," which is a strange way to say "leftwingers unfriend conservatives more than vice versa by a greater than 2:1 margin."

The animosity goes both ways

In October 2020, NPR explored the subject of political divides, which included the act of unfriending, in "'Dude, I'm Done': When Politics Tears Families And Friendships Apart." It reported: "Jocelyn Kiley, associate director of research at the Pew Research Center, said political polarization is more intense now than at any point in modern history. Nearly 80% of Americans now have 'just a few' or no friends at all across the aisle, according to Pew. And the animosity goes both ways."


In 2016, the Hill, a Washington, D.C., political publication, printed "Poll: Dems more likely to unfriend people due to political posts," an account of a study exploring political leanings and unfriending The article said, "The nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) found 24 percent of Democrats distanced themselves from people on social media because of a political posting. Nine percent of both Republicans and independents reported doing the same to those in social media circles. Additionally, 28 percent of liberals surveyed said they removed someone from their social media circle because of the content that person posted, compared with 8 percent of conservatives."

"The animosity goes both ways," guys.

I think for a lot of us, we who have accepted What Time It Is, things do now tend to "go both ways." But they didn't "go both ways" first.

I wonder if "the animosity goes both ways" regarding people literally having floridly emotional breakdowns over the mere physical presence of the very small Ben Shapiro in a very large convention space.

Is that something conservatives are doing, or is that something you would say that only the toxic hysterical neurotics of the left are doing?
