That's not at all what happened between Rogan and Diaz. Diaz tells the story of the time he borderline raped a woman repeatedly to the extent she became depressed and defeated, and Rogan laughs along like it's hilarious. Diaz returned to the show afterwards and the furor about it, to the extent there was, was not raised by Rogan after the podcast, but by would-be Rogan-cancellers.
It's fine if you like and listen to Rogan. Maybe he's grown since then. I think it's less fine to pretend like bad things didn't happen, aren't bad, or that Rogan is a journalist luring his friends to hang themselves by confessing misdeeds.
- at_a_remove 4y agoI don't listen to the guy at all, he seems like a vaguely credulous meathead, but I guess it works out for him. You should watch or read someone like Hunter S. Thompson interview people he despises. He got his yucks on with Nixon, and this is a guy who purportedly trained his dog to savage a cloth dummy at the word "Nixon." You smile and laugh and let people hang themselves. Similarly, I've heard the most shameful and shocking things from people you wouldn't guess, because I am told I have a very non-judgemental demeanor. Father Confessor jokes have been made, and I faintly smile and raise my eyebrows, and then people tell me about drinking a full steaming stein of their own urine. I've heard worse, far worse. People like to unburden themselves.
- ALittleLight 4y agoIf you aren't judgmental about repeat sexual abuse, I don't know what to tell you.
- at_a_remove 4y agoAh, and here is the crux of it. For you, to judge means you must express it. You have to let people know about it! It's not real unless you shout it from the rooftops, is it? And therefore, if someone doesn't judge -> scold right then and there, why, there's no judgment at all. I submit that this is not true.
