hot takes on our slaps favorite lurker
Slaps love for GH is bizarre. He’s like a bad cover band of this place and everyone here is like “how does he do it!? Nailed it!” Nailed what exactly? Saying exactly the same obvious mocking of someone who’s an easy target, but have it come from one specific boy-man? I find that type of stuff more palatable when it is coming from the zeitgeist of an anonymous message board than one voice covering their song note for note with no credit.
It’s fun to make fun of steezus, I mean come on right? Low hanging fruit for sure. But for all the weird self promotion, doofy looks, and lame nicknames here’s a guy who came pretty far to make it in skateboarding in California. Why the fuck would I praise obvious criticisms about the guy from some spoiled little unaccompanied minor on his Mac book pro in business class on his way to jolly ol England? If you find his reheated takes amusing, that’s fine, but let’s not get carried away in the adoration.
He’s gotta be so worried that he’s gonna get beat up, but since his fame is inextricably linked to an act that all but assure it is an inevitability, he’s probably in a tough spot. Never knew he wanted to be popular til he got a little taste, now he’s talkin to Jerry and jenkem and he’s high on the fumes. He went hard on this one based on a calculation that steezus’ ven diagram overlaps at “looks serious, actually super nice, non violent”.
