“Covid is fake”

If he indeed said that, it explains why the video went down while I was watching it 😅

[close]

He took it down to put it up on his main channel

[close]

I don't watch his videos often, and I don't have an opinion on that guy. I don't know if he was ironic or not, but if he means it, it's a really uneducated statement on par with most of the cringe skaters he usually makes fun of.

[close]

It was quite obviously ironic.

[close]

It wasn't obvious for me but I hope you're right.

It’s specifically intended to illicit a response from annoying scolds who still think it matters what some random YouTuber thinks about COVID.

I recognize the comedic value there, I sorta laughed, but I do worry for those among his audience who aren’t able to parse that nuance and take what Joa says as gospel.  To your point, they’re probably past help at that point, but it does make me a little sad when he includes politically charged stuff.  It doesn’t really enhance the content and makes me think he’s a bit less intelligent whenever he does.

I think if youre worried about if his take on covid is serious or not, then you are not his intended audience. His entire bit is satire and exaggeration idk how you missed that.

I don't like the look of Gothic Joa. What world is this

[close]

Joa needs infinite more studs of all sizes and patches.

Seriously though. Carpet needs to send Uncle Flea a box of those silver safety pins on GP.

Haha.

I just feel like he's too handsome to be hiding his face like that.

I miss gifted Spader. Spikey haircut was the shit. Maybe just a very slight mullet. And a Padawan braid!

He's kinda like a teacher to these kids. Gotta show your face

[Turtle Boy]

I'm probably not his intended audience and that's OK. It just sounded weird when I heard it. I don't know how it is in the US but in France there is a lot of revisionism going on right now questioning the reality of covid/vaccines from all kind of people, not only the usual conspiracionists.

[mj23]

i used to joke about covid being fake all the time. then i got long covid so now the joke is on me. whoops

don't know still a bad photoshop work. The point was hire people who know how to do the job and stop half assing everything you put out.

Yeah, but it's just classic skate company stuff which I think Jacuzzi is really going for, that 90s in the future kinda stuff of parody etc.

[radcunt]

I'd watch if GH wanted to do his own interview series, as he's good when he's being a skate dork.  Call it the Wine Club, sip chardonnay and chat to skaters.

[emotional_degloving]

Man that entire fuckin rant about Jacuzzi and that J graphic... Like that's a rip of that advert, it's just a photoshop. It looks like they've just made the background lighter and airbrushed a repeated pasting of that ground texture.
Like Sci Fi has deadass done similar deck graphics before. Stable diffusion AI is not advanced as he's making it out to be to part and parcel copy an entire ass advertisement and accurately swap a beerbottle with a J and the exact same hat and jacket etc.... Like that shit requires a human hand. I've seen enough AI art of Homer Simpson wearing stone island jackets to know that shit is wack and will stay wack.

For the record I think AI art shit is wack as hell and scummy.

What's Joa's thing with Jacuzzi anyway, has he said he hates them in a stream or some shit? I know Joa copies most of his opinions from Ninja Lifestyle and I know he hates that shit.

Like regarding Jacuzzi there's bigger fish to fry regarding Louie dropping a rider because the requirement to non-stop party on camera was destroying his mental health, that shit really soured me on them.

It's a one-off line... it's not like he's an Andrew Tate type character or something. He's not preaching this message to his audience.

We all know he steals all of opinions from the o’mighty slap forum. That’s why he is so successful cause we are all so cleaver and smart.

Yeah I thought he missed the forest for the trees on this one as that rider situation and how it was handled was a huge fuck up. Perfect segue into talking about the dudebro party rot at the center of that brand and the vibe that he seems to already object to.

not trying to derail this into a covid thread, but hearing shit like this makes me feel a little better about my own future prospects. i had shortness of breath for a few months the first time, and now i'm experiencing it again, but worse. been two months now, hope it gets better.

My wife and I just it for the first time back in December. Thought it was just a chest cold at first and felt congested. Then the cough and body aches came.  Luckily didn't have the bad headache.  My brother in law got it real bad at the same time and couldn't get out of bed for a few days. I don't think it'll ever go away. It's just going to keep mutating and become a part of our lives like the flu.

Yes. Since Dec it’s at over a million deaths in the US. Sorry if my phrasing was confusing. I’m tired of people claiming it doesn’t exist or that it’s not still going around. The holidays saw a big spike.

Over 1 million deaths in the last 2 months??
