55%, that must mean that 45% of the people that took the survey do not know who he is.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 63 points 9 months ago

Remember Ann Coulter bemoaned women's suffrage for costing trump 2020. I'd assume some of that 45% know who he is and are either brainwashed themselves or think they stand to benefit from his rhetoric.

Johnny Harris did a "both sides" dive into Joe a month ago and I unsubbed after watching that garbage. He just kinda breezes over shit and ends up being like "he just intellectually curious." Fuck right off with that shit. I remember years ago when that jungle spice smoking thumb of a man had Andy Ngo on and a friend of mine was trying to defend him asking if its "ok for people to attack a journalist." The friend didn't really know the context outside of the vague framework they supplied, but we argued for like 20 minutes. Even after I showed him who Ngo really was and what he was all about, it seemed impossible to break the perception he'd been given that Ngo was a victim.

Rogan is a misinformation gateway that primes people for the bigger scam down the line, whilst washing it's hands of any responsibility. He disarms people with a "curious" persona and the majority of his content just being empty mental calories to be consumed. It's like a viral carrier that dulls peoples mental immunity against right wing propaganda by surrounding it in a 100 layers of DMT vision stories. Personally feel like it makes him one of the bigger dangers for people getting put into the pilled pipeline.

Rogan is a misinformation gateway that primes people for the bigger scam down the line, whilst washing it's hands of any responsibility.

It's a psychological phenomenon called "the Joe Rogan Experience". Seriously, as an avid former listener, it's basically that. We can debate whether or not be doesn't it maliciously or not but this is actually what's happening.

Johnny Harris is weird. I can't exactly pinpoint it because I lost interest in his content incredibly quickly. Loads of red flags.

As a dude, if a woman listens to Joe Rogan, it's a red flag.

[-] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 94 points 9 months ago

As a person, anyone listening to Joe Rogan is a red flag. I personally prefer to pretend his career ended with News Radio.

The results for men are wild. A good chunk of the things men view as red flags are basically “she has an opinion”

That percentage needs to be way higher for me to feel good things about it.

Whoever would have thought striking down Roe V Wade might make young women less conservative?

That number should be MUCH higher.

[-] punkisundead@slrpnk.net 40 points 9 months ago

It's depressing how reactionary many men are, even the young ones.

[-] frickineh@lemmy.world 36 points 9 months ago

Seriously, they want tradwives, although most of them don't actually want to support that lifestyle, they just want a bangmaid that's also somehow independent enough to earn a living.

[-] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 29 points 9 months ago

To them, tradwife = woman who is attractive (never fat), caters to their every whim, has enthusiastic sex whenever their husbands wants, does all cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children, showers her husband in adoration, brings in extra income to support the family, and asks for nothing in return.

Fact is, these men will never get that, because they possess none of the traits that would be deserving of such devotion.

Also, if such a woman exists, I'd love to meet her and ask how the hell she manages.

Also of note 76% of women consider being a MAGA republican a red flag and somehow one percent actually considers the person reading a red flag. Also being conservative is about as unpopular as being a communist.

It’s a red flag when I’m making new friends too.

It just screams “I don’t read up on any viewpoints presented to me”

[-] arc@lemm.ee 60 points 9 months ago

Even as a man it's a red flag - "me no think so good, big thoughts hurt brain, bald man make hurt go away with soothing words"

joe rogan is a moron who perpetuates whatever simple simon viewpoint strikes him at any moment. I remember when he was stoked about a red wave that never came. People don't like douche bags, it's a turn off. If you are influenced by douche bags women could find that unattractive.

The only people I know who like joe rogan think elon musk is a messiah (while hating electric cars), love rap music (while hating black people) and think their belly button smells good.

They refuse to see the Barbie movie

Well, caring about that is a red flag by itself.

[-] oatscoop@midwest.social 62 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Red flags come in all sizes. A potentially small one is: "I'm not willing to sit through a dumb but harmless movie even though my partner wants to see it."

A bigger red flag would be "I refuse to see The Barbie Movie because it's woke!!!!!"

Refusing to see a movie their partner wants to see with them is a sensible red flag. I think it would be higher if it was phrased generally rather than specifically about Barbie.

I am disappointed in my gender that more than 40℅ say that thinking there are only 2 genders is a green flag.

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 27 points 9 months ago

There are also other disappointing ones like refusing to see the Barbie movie and that so many think saying "black lives matter" is a red flag.

The alternative to the latter is that you don't think black lives matter, which is the real red flag.

This has to be the most normie-ass sampling method of all time.

Ads on Facebook and Instagram???... Only 1,000 people?... More than 3% Sampling Error?

No wonder they got all of these fucking stupid results that every tabloid posted all over the internet without even waiting for ChangeReasearch to post the results on their site.

Maybe the commie dudes just fucked right off of Meta platforms and the only remaining dudes are sad and lonely incels who just want to look at the women who never left. (Assuming cishet here, no hate)

Let's get that up to 90%. People need to learn to recognize red flags better.

[-] Nath@aussie.zone 29 points 9 months ago

I expect my wife has no idea who he is. That technically puts her in the 45%, but I'm not going to ruin her day to boost the percentage.

Frankly he isn't that famous. If not for Reddit, I wouldn't have heard of him, either.

It's a redflag for friendships I might form; couldnt imagne being in a relationship with someone like that.

[-] pascal@lemm.ee 35 points 9 months ago

It makes sense if you're part of half the population that is subjected by rules and laws that penalize you in some form written by the other non liberal half of the population, like those brilliant anti abortion laws, you start to grow unsympathetic towards those.

[-] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 28 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yes but also, by the same article, 55% of women considers a red flag if you "identify as a communist" and only 27% considers a turnoff "owning a gun"

[-] markopi@lemmy.zip 55 points 9 months ago

To be fair, communists do have a red flag.
