The DW comment section is as censored as any left-wing dump. Matt Walsh is a hypocritical dildo since his home disallows any criticism of troons that isn't rhetorically sanitized. They are a gaggle of self-important assholes evidently run by their lawyers. I am done with them. I should have expected something like this from the home of Ben Shapiro and Candice Owens. Live and learn.

The Daily Wire should have crashed and burned when Crowder leaked their contract (if not well before then). They got defenders saying Crowder shouldn't have leaked the contract and it was just an opening offer and yadda yadda yadda, but that entire debate is all a sideshow distracting from the real problem, which is that The Daily Wire claims to be an anti-(excessive) censorship, conservative, non-mainstream organization, and then it makes a contract where its employees are greatly punished for running afoul of the most mainstream of leftist standards. There’s “unfair opening offer” and then there’s “structured in such a way as to fundamentally undercut the entire alleged premise of the company.”
All questions of “fairness,” “negotiation,” and “friendship” aside, that contract deserved to be leaked simply because it exposes a massive open question about The Daily Wire’s commitment to its claimed values. Hypothetically, if I join “the organization to oppose cannibalism” and someone leaks that they stop their employees from saying cannibalism is bad, I don’t give a shit about whether the leaker was betraying trust or not and I don’t care if it turns out you can get permission to say cannibalism is bad if you ask nicely—I want to know why the organization to oppose cannibalism ever took that position on any level.
Yeah thanks for explaining it so thoroughly for the peanut gallery. It's astounding how many people, even on this board, missed the point of that whole fiasco. Back when that happened this place had a very sizable contingent (approaching 1/3?) backing DW. Since then I've noticed a very steep upturn in negative sentiment toward them here which is encouraging.
Just a few months ago I was catching downvotes for shitting on Walsh and now I see him get shit on here all the time it's great.
He seems to be crossing DEEP into enemy territory lately with his 90's BS about video games and anime, which probably every single member of this board has some, if not dedicated, interest in. To hear that sort of thing from someone that's supposed to be 'on my side' is the kind of insanity that Lefties are used to dancing with, not me. I was reading through his spat with George Alexopoulous on twitter, and I couldn't believe he was the same guy that did "What is a Woman?"
He's talking like the guy on anonymous forums whose desperate for others to believe that he has a nice car, big house, and hot gf who bangs him every day and night. It's not a normal person's perspective, and it reeks of something else going on in the background he wants to push.
I dont usually like how frequently the word "grifter" gets thrown around lately; I feel like it's rapidly becoming another buzzword to hurl at people we don't like. But Walsh really strikes me as a grifter in the truest sense; someone crafting a fake persona to cultivate a fanbase for personal monetary gain.
I agree, and that's damn well-put.
