"XXXXX Al" Yankovic in shambles
Oooo.... I looove the guy but, I dunno that I can watch a xxxx rated porno with him in it, not at our age. 😬
I would 100% watch something Weird Al starred in, billed as porn. You just know it was subversive and brilliant!
just him slapping a ham rhythmically for an hour solid, staring unblinkingly into the camera with an expression that grows progressively more unhinged
Idk, I've always thought he was kinda hot.
I gotta say, they found a VERY good photo to represent "guy who says slurs".
On the other hand, that's a pretty rough looking 27 year old. He looks like a 60s something bro who never stopped lifting.
65 year old guy who retired and discovered anavar.
That dude is 27?! I have no idea who it is, but damn, someone chose the hard road.
It's satirical. The article isn't real.
Yes! I can absolutely believe this as a guy who drops the n word in casual conversation then acts surprised when people cringe and leave the event he's ruining.
The guy can also perfectly imitate the look of an AI generated person!
It's not AI. This is a real photo of a guy sitting in a real chair. The background is clearly shopped because the lighting doesn't match, but I assume that's for the esthetic.
They probably dressed up a guy to model for them; I really hope he doesn't look like this at other times

Weird is the absolute least offensive term anyone can be saddled with. If it bothers you that much you got more problems than just being weird.
That's why it's the best term to use against these people. People who are "good weird" accept it. "Bad weird" people are bothered by it. There are probably better words to describe these people but weird is working.
Gotta say, the left is running an excellent campaign! Really tuned in to the online stuff
I found offence to him calling the republicans weird!
Its disrespectful to weirdos like myself!
They're "stay away from your creepy uncle weird", not "quirky weird".
Fascism is based on authoritarian ideas. "I'm right, you're all wrong, no matter what."
Our brains are hardwired for social cohesion. The idea that we are the outgroup absolutely terrifies us.
Being called "weird" is a fascists worst nightmare.
I'm too weird to be able to understand why they find the term offensive.
because they're incredibly fragile

He's one of those guys where every photo looks like a mugshot.
what the hell did i miss with this weird thing why is everyone talking about weird
Majority report just did a good take on how they are weird because they don't know how weird they come off with their crazy.
“Mr. Walz offered an inversion of that old Radiohead single at his introductory rally on Tuesday night. “These guys are creepy, and yes, just weird as hell,” he smilingly charged. From his mouth the word comes across as a somewhat spicy Midwestern revision of the coastal freakout, common during the Trump presidency, that almost every day was “not normal.”

The Onion joke, but we all know it's coming..
It's a satire site already. It's shocking how many people here seem to not understand that. It's so obvious because they say the guy is 27 but the picture is of someone in their 50s. Hell even just look at the sub.
People desperately need to develop better critical eyes, especially when it confirms your belief.
