Shit is wack, but I’m not surprised. Seems nobody has noticed that Ave follows Trump, RFK Jr. and the US Border Patrol among others on Instagram. His interests are questionable, to say the least.

How does his political opinion have anything to do with making a terrible app service

[close]

Terrible person = Terrible app

Yeah, sorry but similar to what the poster said above I have zero tolerance to anyone following or supporting the horrible shit going on right now. Also pretty sure AVE lives in Huntington Beach which is MAGA central, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Fuck this

A tremendous amount of terrible people introduced worthwhile apps, nothing in this stands on examination. We get it, he follows right wingers on Instagram. Nobody is condoning that, however his political beliefs are an irrelevant subject matter brought up just because "fuck that guy"

Someone being easily led down the conservative rabbit hole by having weak ethics/morals and the inability to think critically would also reflect on their business decisions (Ave).

Just because some billionaire tech developer is outwardly
right wing doesn’t mean they truly believe in the principles that conservative media outlets shit out to the public. They’re cunning opportunists, and currently the right wing has the power.

When they can exploit left wing politics they do, (E.G. target, Starbucks, etc.) when it was profitable to do so.

Ave is the equivalent of a right wing small business owner who thinks he can get accepted into the club that would never have him. Therefore judging his business moves based on his politics is totally valid in this case. Shit politics, shit app.

i remember reading an interview where he said he still liked ted nugent's music, even though he hated his politics. but that's neither here nor there

wonder what dill thinks

Following those accounts doesn't necessarily mean you back them, but that is questionable. He was certainly wrong on this one, lol.

Did you vote for President? I did. Yes. I flew home early from a Boys of Summer trip to do my civic duty.

What do you think of the President we got? I think he’s an asshole and I think the other fucking bitch that was running sucks too, so I didn’t vote for either of them. So it’s a weird time. I mean, I came up in the ’80s when Reagan was president. Maybe some cool shit will happen because everybody’s fucking angry and pissed off, you know? Shit happens.

I always get weird vibes when I see skaters post themselves doing BJJ at the Gracie gym with their giant Blue Lives Matter flags and other paraphernalia on the walls.   Gyms are the breeding grounds for the dumbest political people

ANY excuse to not hit the gym smdh

If the app fails(it will) then all this goes away, and we all just carry on. AVE hangs with the Black Fly bros when he rides, maybe a lil of their nonsense rubbed off

[MareVitals]

Anyone got footy or a pic of AVE from his cornrow era? I remember I had a Transworld poster where he was doing a noseblunt on those benches in Barcelona with full on baggy t and cornrows.

I feel like all AVE cornrow footage has been strategically removed from the internet. VF Corp conspiracy.

Probably started thinking about it but then got distracted by his usual thinking about himself.

[beug]

I can guarantee you guys have already spent more time thinking about aves political stance than he has in his entire life


Will you film yourself burning your ave pro models à la maga kooks and bud light ?

[Alberteinstein]

Would be cool if skaters got some money for video parts from yesteryear

You guys are arguing about nothing


“Ave follows trump”

Wow some of you guys are truly fucking losers

Look at AVE

Now look at yourself

Hahaha

Playing the devil's advocate here but would it be possible that meta is showing him "following" just some bullshit the platform wants to push? I have no horse in this race and it is definitely possible that AVE is a right-wing kook but nothing would surprise me in the american social media wasteland.

Hard pass on the platform though.

Are you suggesting that instagram followed those accounts for AVE without informing him?

Lol ^

A lot of people were following POTUS or The White House and didn’t unfollow when it flipped to the Trump administration. That can happen unknowingly, but a cursory skim of AVE’s following list shows quite a bit of far right bullshit. He’s following Tucker AND Tucker News Network, that’s not an accident.

The double-edged sword of social media, you get unprecedented access and information about your childhood heroes, only to find out most of the time that they aren't the person you want them to be...

Don't meet your heroes and all that shit...

There are way to many right-wing personalities and "news"/meme accounts in that Following section to be a coincidence or even more farfetched, accounts that were forced upon the user by Meta...

Funny enough I was chopping it up at the shop yesterday with my guy Andre about this very topic and while it's disappointing (not to mention I'm not a social media person), at least it weeds out the kooks and makes us more informed about who and who not to support...
