He’s definitely gone into territory that I think some people find “offensive”, but I personally find to just be blunt. Maybe it’s the old school Bostonian vibe, which I understand as a Bostonian, and some people not from the region don’t necessarily.

He's actually a really good example of how to do shock humor without being a bigot. He doesn't really punch down, and if he's doing like race jokes, it's usually through the lens of "look at how stupid this racist mfer is."

So? People get so hung up on their right to remain unoffended. That's not reality - it's hiding. Our collective thin skin is getting shredded. We all need a dose of "wake the fuck up and smell the bullshit" more often.

Seriously I think it’s possibly a psy-op to make the left weaker in North America. Or at least to make leftists seem weak. At any rate it’s working, look at what’s happening to our political landscape as a result.

I mean, that doesn't feel farfetched.

By the way, my friend had a hardcore band called "Crucifux" in Tampa Bay, FL area about 15 years ago. Your handle made me double-take.

Haha I know. I love hardcore, and found out about them from googling my own gamer tag when I was like 17

Hilarious. I played music with the drummer, Andy. Small world.

Speaking of names, I have the eye from Obituary’s album Cause of Death incorporated on the sleeve tattoo on my right arm.

For every American who gets offended at someone from Boston there's a Canadian that isn't a thin-skinned little bitch. ;) (okay maybe not a perfect metaphor but after the day I've had I'm not workshopping this one)
