I remember when Vice was "bleeding-edge-unwavering-unapologetic-raw-insert-other-catchy-adjective news! The stories no one else has the genitals to cover!"

I never personally thought that but I'm pretty sure that's what they wanted other people to think.

I remember when Vice didn’t even pretend to be news. They were just a free edgelord lifestyle magazine. Those were the days.

I still thought that. No idea they were ever considered a legitimate news medium.

I didn’t mean to imply they were ever a legitimate news medium. I’m just saying originally they didn’t even pretend to be news.

i know 🙂

Gosh same; part owned by Disney might have something to do with that
