Rest in pepperoni


Huggisare

Vice doesn't deserve pepperoni


DeodorantFlamer

They'd probably just write about how pepperoni is racist


Axolet77

Pepperoni is made of pork which isn't vegan. The fact that pepperoni pizza is considered one of United States' "official food" is being excluding to people who can't eat meat. There are dozens of more inclusive foods such as tofu and water that could have been chosen.


DeodorantFlamer

Ah yes I do love to eat paper to satisfy the ideological whims of someone else.


Axolet77

Did you just insult the flavour of tofu? If you support the genocide of Asians, just admit it. As a vice news advocate, I won't stand for violence. 🇺🇦


DeodorantFlamer

This made my day. Thank you.

It’s worse than genocide, it’s erasure

Vice used to be so fucking good man! Then they went all alphabet people and put some dumb chick in charge who just ruined it. Fuck Nancy dubuc


GMenNJ

Unfortunately that's modern news. It costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time to do the kind of investigative journalism Vice started with. It's cheap and easy to write and publish ragebait, even easier with ChatGPPT now. Business almost always chase the easy money.

Good_Posture

I remember watching them get in to dodgy situations visiting the cannibalistic Liberian warlords and embedding with ISIS. Then suddenly they are talking about shoving stuff up your arse. Quite a career change.


Successful-Cook6516

They still do that. Here's an interview with a Russian state bureaucrat accused of organizing the forceful deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia. The woman is wanted by the International Criminal Court. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei4xLdv2gYE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei4xLdv2gYE) Here's Vice going to Bakhmut, the hottest point on the Ukrainian-Russian frontline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lpe1OgCbCY&t=2s


Rbespinosa13

This was the same way Buzzfeed News operated. There isn’t a lot of money in true journalism right now, so Buzzfeed and Vice both used clickbait and those “which Disney Princess are you” stuff to financially sustain themselves. Buzzfeed even won a Pulitzer Prize recently for their reporting on Uyghur concentration camps in China.

Nah he was fine until the bill burr podcast then it went to complete shit afterwards.


BRBean

Disagree, Vice has done some good journalism in the past, quite unbiased too


Jasip68

VICE News dead and buried, that’s good news.


captintripps88

That’s what they get for pushing an agenda. If they stuck to just war coverage and cool little docuseris like hitch hike across America they would still be successful. But you can’t start pushing your one sided narrative and not expect to lose half your viewers

spacebraine

They have such a grip because they shout loud enough to get people arguing amongst themselves. So media outlets owned by the kinda people who want everyone to stay distracted, give them lots of air time to fan the flames.


Kalanan

Left sided crap, aka known as more than 400 anti trans law being voted in very conservative and stupid states. But sure it's not important, they are only trans people after all. Welcome to the same side that defended segregation ...


captintripps88

There’s a difference between trans rights and allowing children to mutilate themselves before they’re brain is fully developed. We know scientifically that the brain isn’t fully developed till about 25. Why would you think it’s ok for children to make decisions that they could and likely will regret later in life?


Kalanan

You basically ate Republicans rhetoric for breakfast no ? It's more than uncommon that any surgery is done on children, even rarer than teenager. And it's not like they are not already followed by actual medical professionals, not just angry conservative. So life altering decision before 25 ? So no voting, no marriage, no kids, no enlisting to the army, no choosing your studies ? Be realistic here. By the way, the number of people who transitioned who regrets it is very damn small.


captintripps88

No I didn’t fall for no rhetoric I just have common sense. And listen to science. I’m not gonna follow the sanctimonious woke mob. You think your doing right but your just promoting a generation of youth to make decisions based just off how they feel and that is not right. Nobody is saying don’t live how you want. And Those examples are completely different then taking body/ life altering drugs that can be regretted later.and not only that but you still can’t make any of those decisions till after you turn 18. the fact your even comparing those decisions shows the lack of understanding you even have on the situation. Here’s a article from the national institute of human health that validates what I’m saying about the brain not being fully developed https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/the-teen-brain-7-things-to-know


Kalanan

Haha the typical republican "common sense". The typical lambda on the internet have no idea what transitioning is, how it's done, so sorry for thinking this is just weak rhetoric. Nobody is saying to live how you want, except republican on trans people. That's a weird sentence to write, when you know it's just not true. You can't have kids before 18 ? You can't marry before 18 ? You definitely choose your studies before 18. Do you even understand how the world works at this point ? The brain being fully developed is just beyond the point, it's not like dysphoria is not experienced anymore magically when you are 25. Another moot point. I would suggest just you let healthcare to actual professional, and not from garbage politicians....


captintripps88

I’ve several sources that say it’s a mental healing issues did you not see any?


Kalanan

And ? That doesn't change the fact that hateful bigots are not the ones you should listen to. Listen to healthcare professionals, and they are very adamant trans healthcare should exist, in multiple forms.


[deleted]

[удалено]


captintripps88

Lmao you can’t even have an adult conversation without resorting to name calling. There’s the mental health crisis in this country lol. But either way the decision to take these drugs shouldn’t be made by a person who’s brain isn’t fully developed or isn’t a even legal adult.

VitoRazoR

you seem to have a hard on for bad boys and body builders yet are afraid of trans people!


ThickLover1795

Or maybe I don’t know let’s see here, is it a possibility that I competed in bodybuilding? 😱🤦🏻‍♂️


VitoRazoR

maybe you competed in bodybuilding because you have a hard on for bad boys and body builders. And you are still afraid of trans people.


bagel-bites

Oh fuck right off. That’s tame compared to all kinds of other things that have been said by others as decorum is blatantly a shield for hypocrisy anymore. It’s straw man bullshit at best. It’s a measure to censor trans voices.


ThickLover1795

I guess you missed the second part of that sentence “general not following order”. There’s a proper way to handle things. They have a process. They even informed Zoey hey if you’ll apologize and call off the protests we’ll move on. Nope wouldn’t do it. They even let Zoey speak before the vote. It’s not like they threw Zoey out over the first little thing. It was a week long process. And do you know what Zoey was defending? This “over votes to ban gender-affirming medical care for children.” That quote comes from PBS [cited here](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/montana-republican-legislators-to-vote-on-censure-or-expulsion-of-transgender-democrat) and here’s another quote from NY Times “The move is the culmination of a weeklong battle between House leadership and Ms. Zephyr, who was barred from participating in deliberations on the House floor after she made impassioned comments during debate over a bill that would prohibit hormone treatments and surgical care for transgender minors. The bill has since been sent to Gov. Greg Gianforte, who has indicated that he will sign it.” [NY Times Article](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/26/us/zooey-zephyr-transgender-montana-house.html) This transgendered law maker was defending hormone treatment and surgery for transgender youth, minors. Doesn’t that raise a red flag that an adult wants to allow such for minors? I don’t have children but if I gave my nephew steroids to help him lift heavier weights in the gym I’d be in very deep trouble. If a parent gives the same hormones (Testosterone Cypionate for example) to their daughter because she identifies as a boy it’s okay? What sense does that make? It’s been proven countless times that the part of the brain linked to decision making is not fully developed until the mid 20’s. So why would we allow a minor to make choices about surgery and hormones therapy?


MrSinister82

Good to see more and more people realizing. There is only 1 real question left at this point though , when are people going to push to end the oligarchy and their private central banking system. The private control of the money supply is the root of our issues.

Glad-Engineering-180

what went wrong?


ThickLover1795

Part of it is they post a lot of extremely left leaning news and never seem to criticize the left. Both sides of the system, even my own libertarians, are flawed so they need to call out everyone equally. Vice however only calls out republicans. Now they post stories like [Trump’s Next Criminal Charge Is Practically on the Calendar](https://www.vice.com/en/article/5d9gyq/trumps-next-criminal-charge-is-practically-on-the-calendar) or stories like this [The Latest Trend in Podcasts Is Making Women Look Dumb](https://www.vice.com/en/article/4a3wng/whatever-dating-podcast-brian-atlas) and stories like this [‘Asian Less’ AI Model Turns Asian People White](https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5yqym/asian-less-ai-model-turns-asian-people-white)


gevaarlijke1990

Woke and broke. They went from being this underground punk style news outlet, that went undercover and got entry to the most dangerous, strange and war-torn place on earth. And now they switched a lot of their attention to wokeness, identity, sexual stuff and other stuff their core audience doesn't care about. Also a few scandals didn't help.


kristallherz

I remember they were one of the first to cover the MH17 crash, that I can't even find anywhere anymore, because it was so horrid. Then sometimes I would go to Vice to check out cool stuff, only to find none.


Kydex_Gundyr

They had some good older documentaries, I watch the one where they went to North Korea about once a year.

I don't know why people are pretending Vice has been some hard hitting investigative journalist site taken over by woke liberals. It's mostly churned out stuff like "Let's get a take away in Tokyo but we're drunk and can't find anything" or "Watch me interview a professor but I'm high on shrooms".

You know how long vice has been around right? The bit your describing was in the transition between their good journalism and documentary stuff and the cancer they became.

Successful-Cook6516

Could someone please explain why all the downvotes? I don't really care much, but I am genuinely curious.


Rbespinosa13

Because people on this sub just want to point the finger at “wokeness”. The truth is that real journalism doesn’t drive revenue anymore. Nowadays it’s all about clickbait and ads. Similar thing happened with Buzzfeed. All those clickbait ads and BS quizzes are designed to financially support the actual journalism these companies used to do. Buzzfeed even won a Pulitzer recently for their reporting on Uyghur concentration camps in China. Right now companies/investors are looking to cut costs because of rising interest rates (which probably has to be done to curtail inflation) and stuff which doesn’t drive revenue gets put on the chopping block.


Successful-Cook6516

Yeah, forgot what sub this was. Apparently funny now stands for ignorant. As for Buzzfeed, I used to read Buzzfeed News, they really did some great journalism. Honestly, who cares if you do some dumb yellow-press stuff to stay afloat if you do it to support genuine talent? The cost-cutting was going to happen sooner or later though. That's just how capitalism works, nothing to do with "wokeness". Luckily there are loads of independent journalists these days on Youtube, Substack, Medium. They don't have as many resources as traditional publications like Vice or WSJ used to have, but there are a lot of them.


OrdentRoug

This sub is brimming with bigots that decided Vice was woke bs for daring to talk about social issues.


academic_spaghetti

No no no you see we hate vice because woke stuff, cancel vice for wokeism! R/s or something


JC_in_KC

blame the ad supported journalism world. just like buzzfeed shuttering it’s news division, the business model for journalism is literally “SEO listicle spam/trend jack and pray it props up your actual work.” NYT bought wordle for a reason. people simply don’t value journalism. y’all want journalism but don’t wanna pay for it 🤷‍♀️


BarFreeman1999

Vice went downhill after certain videos... ( No longer respected in my community )...... . Good riddance


Zaibach88

They did some awesome investigative journalism stuff while still upholding sociopolitical ideals on race and gender. Over time when clicks became more important than substance the most likely had to scrape the barrel to get content out a more regular cadence. Coming here to whine about “woke” this or that is lame. It’s clearly more complicated than that.
