What's with the Joe Rogan picture

It's a so-called "Reaction Image". An image representing the OP's reaction to the post.

What's with the choice of a Joe Rogan picture

It's a classic reaction image. In fact, it predates most of Joe Rogan as you know him.

What's with including a 2005 reaction image at all

It's a common meme. Used to signal that someone did something awesome and unexpected.

AKA a laugh track.

For when the audience is too stupid to know what to think I guess. Reaction images on posts are dumb

I think they're fine to react to someone else's comment, but using them to react to your own comment is cringe. Just like when someone laughs at their own joke.

They're fine in conversation but yeah...not a fan when they're just slapped on the original image. It adds absolutely nothing

I have no idea who Joe Rogan is, and seeing the number of comments in this thread I'm too afraid to ask

He's a douche with the #1 podcast in the world who shares his huge platform to fringe nutjobs after running out of interesting guests. He hardly challenges any of the crazy things they say and confidently parrots misinformation.

Guest: So anyway, that's how we know that Joe Biden actually does drink infant blood

Joe: Wow. I heard he said he would be a dictator on day 1 of his second term. He's senile!

Fact-checker: actually it was Trump who said that

Joe: oh well clearly he misspoke, give him a break! I'm not a grifter btw

You forgot to say he used to be a UFC announcer which is where most of these memes come from.

But you know, why provide a relevant answer when you have a golden opportunity to shit on someone you hate and make up a fake conversation?

My response was relevant. OP was realizing that people don't like Rogan and I explained why - because he platforms nutjobs and doesn't challenge them on their opinions.

My hyperbolic fake conversation isn't very far from the truth, unfortunately

Do we get to say he's the no.1 podcast if the vast, vast majority of his audience is only one country. And that country has proven itself to be 33% racist morons?

I could be wrong but I thought it was the #1 most downloaded show in the world, no?

He's definitely the highest paid podcaster thanks to his insane Spotify deal.

The fun police has arrived, wee-woo wee-woo!

In a post about the EU denouncing the US support of an apartheid state, you want to pick the bones out of a reaction image?

I know you're butt hurt but most people couldn't give two fucks about Joe Rogan.
