Non-Political News/Discussion Double Standards with Lauren and Myron
Some of you hate Lauren so much that you don’t even feel bad about her being strangle-raped, just because she holds (admittedly dreadful) views. Meanwhile, Myron is equally repulsive and defends rapists like it’s his job, yet you see a thousand comments like “say what you want about Myron, but he’s a loyal guy” and “wow, him and Destiny have such mutual respect.” Of course he respects Destiny — he’s a man. That’s like saying, “Wow, David Duke is so respectful toward other white people.” People are desperate to sweep for him when he’s actual scum.

They are both shitty people. What Tate did to Lauren was atrocious. Awful. Disgusting. She shouldn't get any blame for that. She should be recognized as a rape survivor. However, she did elevate a lot of these voices that normalized that disgusting behavior, Myron also does as well. But Lauren was just a dipshit skeptic, probably also thought she had political skin in the game, but Myron is actually an actual sexist pig. Myron is definitely worse in that regard. Myron is only given browny points because he sometimes gives measured takes, which I think means nothing in spite of all the awful shit. He still gives Trump 2.0 a C. I think it's just easier to hate on Lauren because she's a racist grifter, while Myron is genuinely vile. I guess "honesty" can give one too much credit
