Why the fuck does this shit get ignored and why does he continue to have a platform as an interviewer (Skaters in Cars etc.)
On other threads related to him/the aforementioned articles, its pretty well established that he’s been a bit of a shady dude, why isn’t that spotlighted on here?
-
never heard of him sounds like a kook
-
For real! I remember reading that and being so disgusted of him. I dont get how hes still relevant today with all this shit that's going down.
-
terrible thread

I know right? Don’t you just hate journalists and their first amendment rights? Fucking scumbags.
-
Welcome home Gip

So, so far from what corey duffel said.
So far from that.
You are very wrong.
-
So, he made Corey call Stevie an N.
GTFO
If you don’t know that is wrong by age 10 you deserve to be ostracized, beat up or both.
-
Because his a friend and does a ton for the NJ skate scene. Like to add he also pushes boundaries as a journalist. Sure he kooked it a few times in print. However though, he puts out good content.

You’re 100% right on the racism from duffel, it’s fucking absolutely wrong. I’m black too, but i don’t condone beating up minors, kook. Educating them and correct guidance, surely. Duffel talks about calling up big brother in tears to not publish that interview, yet they did anyway.
Pushing boundaries? Maybe, but fuck off, his handling of the release of duffel’s interview, and his treatment of mar dal santo is gross
-
I know I've read/seen some of his content and was mildly disgusted but it was so long ago I can't even remember the shit. Def radiates kook vibes via print.

There are skaters at the top of food chain in the industry that have strong rape allegations against them that no one's pursued or damned them with....but let's go after this guy instead. Chris posts on here too,hit em up.

Can’t say I’m aware of them. And if true, that’s fucked up. But hey, doesn’t mean the shit nieratko did was cool by simply pointing to others who did worse

The guy worked and gained his name working for Big Brother. We really going to go through and apply current PC views to a lot of stuff that happened 20 to 30 years ago. I mean, a bunch of the iconic World Graphics by Mark McKee would be deemed offensive as hell (and some were at the time).

Skateboarders historically don’t really take well to education via an arm around the shoulder and sage advice. Duffle probably learned more than one important lesson from that shit coming out, and faster than he would have at that age from just being told “don’t use the N word, dude.” Sure it’s a bit draconian, but one could argue that it worked like a charm.
Regarding Marissa, what part of it are you grossed out about? The fact that he asked? Are you grossed out by periods in general?
-
Big brother should be banned
-
Hadn’t heard about that Marisa interview but it sounds typical- trying to be edgy by talking like a meat head jock. Big Brother skewered a few people who needed to be but mostly it was just stupid and regressive.

Couldn’t find the skateboard mag article, but this is clearly not cool. Claiming all girl skaters suck (I know it’s nyjah, but he got blasted for something similar a while back). And reducing her involvement in the industry to what she wore and if she’d been laid or not. Fuck that

Did not know about Corey begging them to edit out the Stevie stuff. That sucks. I remember Chris when he was working at Earth Core skate shop in New Brunswick NJ and he told me he was going to be a writer and he did so good for him.
Why did you start an account to call him out. Do you have a list of things? Asking about periods is silly and I can’t imagine it was meant to hurt her.
The only thing I would call him out for is ripping Seinfeld but I guess enough people like skaters in cars to keep it going.
Making an account purely to call someone out is wack. Purely made the account out of boredom when I found slap

Because cancel culture has only really hit Jason Jesse and Daryl Angel. People aren't going to get blacklisted for mildly offensive opinions. I don't think we want skateboarding to be puritan and regressive.

You need to lighten up a little, don't be offended by people talking about periods or sex. If you got interview by Big Brother you knew what you signed up for. I like Duffel, but he also bends the truth in this interview a little to his advantage, saying Chris asks him why he sounds gay as the second question (he does not, he asks about the speech impediment) and you know fully well Duffel knows that.
I'm a huge fan of Nieratko and Carnie. Sure they've had some misses over the years, but they've put out soooo much content, a lot of it great. Nieratko's interviews are some of the best ever. Also his porn reviews were always amazing.

I don’t intend this to be inflammatory or insulting, but I’m not sure that you understand irony. Chris’ style of writing and interviewing simply might not be your bag, but that doesn’t make it misogynistic or gross or what have you. I’ve always found it very smart, very funny, and very interesting.

chris nieratko FUCKING SUCKS at skate journalism i hate everything I've ever read of his
-
Asking about periods might be uncomfortable and weird but I don't think it's much lower than the usual dumb stuff people talk about in skateboarding.

Yeah, he basically started his career to be print version of a shock jock and admits as much in the Big Brother doc and the Ronnie James Dio scene.
It’s seems like the Big Brother interview style was to have all their guys hang out with a skater, get them fucked up and then goad them into saying some horrid shit. The Andy Roy interview sounds like it happened just this way.
That being said, asking questions and being an asshole doesn’t really nominate someone for cancel culture to take note of. The skate industry hasn’t exactly been the homing beacons for empathetic individuals. I doubt he makes a ton of money off his espn or cans video and at least you can enjoy the dissonance of a hairstyle that is rigorously maintained and pooching out belly poking through his one size too small shirts that he just got out of the plastic wrapper
-
One could say Duffel may not have been as great a skater if he was not trying to reverse everyone's opinion of him after dropping an n bomb
Nieratko lit a fire under his ass

Yeah, with Chris you shouldn't take anything seriously, but irony and sarcasm doesn't translate to some readers especially through paper. Definitely has his hits and misses like all comedic writers
I couldn't find the Marisa interview in readable quality, but the period question doesn't sound like something anyone should be mortified about. And she even did that horrible Vice bit with him after that so seems like she didn't lose much sleep over it
And with Corey, Chris definitely threw more fuel into flames, but what he said is fully on him

are you kids actually this pussy thats crazy. how many of you were even alive when big brother was still a thing?

I’m not picking a side one way or the other in this debate, but I could have sworn Marisa Dal Santo has cited that interview with Nieratko as one of the reasons she quit professional skating... can’t find that quote, though.

Corey isn’t saying that the interviewer made him say that racist shit. He was saying that the interview was making fun of him/his lisp and calling him gay and a fag and trying to rile him up to say some crazy shit in the interview.

-
Nieratko is amazing. He loves to provoke people. Looks like you took the bait.
-
This isn’t meant to pardon Corey’s remarks, but I always felt it was bizarre how that interview continues to be a big topic of controversy while the rest of Big Brother is constantly held to such high regard even among articles encouraging drugging and raping strippers and OTHER racist interviews.
No, I don’t think any of them should be “cancelled” over that, but I think it’s important to have consistent standards and to maintain accountability. I think comedy that’s edgy for the sake of being edgy fucking sucks, but I also think it’s clear that all involved parties have grown a lot in 20 years.
-
What sort of kook doesn’t know how to spell their subject’s name? “Marisa Del Santos”???
That article is terrible.
An older “person of power and influence” pushing a young, impressionable woman into doing something she’s not comfortable with......sounds like a really cool guy!
-
Nieratko is awesome. Big Brother was great because they understood that talking about skateboarding is boring as fuck, and humor and controversy are much more entertaining. Big Brother was the only skate mag I ever actually read. The articles and interviews were the best part, whereas Thrasher and TransWorld were only good for looking at the photos. Of course BB is too much for today's hyper-sensitive generation to handle, so this thread isn't surprising.

Good Job Chris. I love that something you wrote in a magazine published by Larry Flynt ages ago still gets the same result that you originally intended. People are soft.
-
An interviewer will always want his interview to be interesting and if you're working at Big Brother you'll definitely want to be stupid, funny and shocking ... so yeah a few bad questions will be in there for sure, but yeah overall journalists are assholes when they push it so far to make their interviews special

Not trying to defend Nieratko or Big Brothers actions in the past but it was a different time back then; humor has changed a lot over the decades and what was once acceptable to laugh at by the majority isn't anymore, but back then it was. Not to mention it was a lot cooler to be a dick back then too, I remember back then there was almost like a cool guy appeal to being a dick, like people found it charming or something. It wasn't til recently with the uprise of social media that being a dick became REALLY frowned upon because it makes it so much easier for fans to call someone out for being a dick; if a pro was a dick to a bunch of kids at a signing its easy for them to go on his Instagram and call him out and having the news spread like wildfire which in turn drags his name through the mud a lot easier and causes sponsors to take notice as well, thus tainting his reputation. Since its so easy to call people out now the majority of pros are always so nice and on their best behaviors now, because they don't wanna deal with being called out and having it effect their image and board sales. Social media has killed the appeal of being a dick. I guarantee you if it weren't for social media there probably would still be a cool guy appeal to it. It's just so easy to call people out now for being shitty people, which makes people reconsider the way they act and the way they are and the way they treat people, which is one thing i think social media and the internet has done in making the 2010s a better place in this world overall. Talk all the shit you want about social media being poison but there's at least one upside to it. Yes Nieratko was a dick back than, but a lot of industry folk were back then too, hell. a lot of people in general, because it was "cool".
That said, even though a lot of Nieratkos stuff is cringe inducing to read these days he also did some of my favorite interviews ever. His interview with Method Man and his interview with Atmosphere are two of my favorites, if you haven't read them I suggest you do, you can find em on his website.
-
Big Brother was known for shocking content, I don’t think that it’s a huge stretch of the truth to assume that Corey went on there with the intent to shock, and I guess, at least at that time, he thought the best way to do that was with a smattering of homosexual and racial content.
I’m thankful for Nieratko’s contributions as well as everyone else involved with Big Brother and the like. It is entertaining, times back then were surely different, and if you’re gonna “call out” Nieratko, call out all of Big Brother and everyone involved; it was mostly offensive by today’s standards and even those back then in some cases. Or just don’t be a poosy and enjoy that chunk of skateboarding’s timeline.

Jason Jesse still gets a check from NHS

Ummm for what he’s doing for his Jersey scene great, however working at an edge lord zine (as much as you guys want say it is essential to skaeboarding it is a kook zine at best) such as Big Brother he should’ve known better for his own journalism sake.
hey I work at a discount neck beard nest type of zine whom is also funded by Larry Flynt. I am going to put out an interview to make a kid look stupid.
Yeah Duffel is wrong in all accounts for his use of that type of word. Don’t put him on blast maybe edit the negative stuff out and say dude I like you and want you to have a decent career but not throw you under the bus?!
Also talking to women about their bodies and talking about women’s periods while skating is just gross, why the fuck did you ask I’m the first place? It is not your fucking business anyways?! Shit he says just infuriates me, I believe in honesty but not at the expense of others. For that Chris is a douche bag, go fuck yourself!!!

This guy is lame.
It might be satire to his friends and some adults without kids, but I cannot help but feel bad for anyone that gets roped into his inside jokes and comes out feeling used.
That Marissa Del Santos interview is fucking sad.
That Corey Duffel interview is an adult guiding a teenager to some seriously embarrassing and career threatening dialogue that I'm sure nobody wants to remember as an adult.
There is and was a lot of terrible stuff going on with the culture behind the skate community now and then (just look at the comments on that spitifre instagram post with Lacey Baker).
Chris' bullshit does not get negated because other people suck too.

I'm trying to actively be better about that and call it out when I see it. I was ten years younger than I am now. If I continue to say nothing because I said nothing then, I'd be bummed on myself.
