The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I'd prefer not to meet someone that didn't
There's a healthy middle ground that everyone seems to be allergic to. Not wanting to meet someone because they don't hate someone is not healthy. The top thread here has someone making a joke about they wish he'd die. Most of these people haven't even watched his podcast, they just get told to hate him by the media. Article here is a good example of that.
Downvoting people that notice the toxicity and say something as simple as "wow you guys really hate someone" is a good example too.
Jfc, all this fucking pearl clutching about some rich fuck who spends a good portion of his time spreading harmful misinformation and/or platforming grifters who spread harmful misinformation.
You know what's more awful than a joke about someone dying? The near certainty that people have died from covid because they listened to misinformation on Rogan's show.
Anyone that takes medical advice from a podcast and ignores the CDC and WHO probably weren't long for this world anyways. He's an entertainer. That's it.
