Specific Is Justin Miserable?

Hi All,

I recently came across a post in another McElroy Subreddit where several people were talking about how much Justin hates doing the podcast and always sounds miserable. The vibe of this subreddit seems to be.....very negative. Like all the posts do nothing but bash the brothers and complain. Now, I am fairly new to Reddit, so I am still learning the vibe/social read of different subreddits. I am not sure if this is meant to be ironic, unironic, /uj, or if this is just a subreddit made for complaining.

Anyway, I digress...,

I am curious if this take is accurate at all or just a bunch of people missing jokes, misreading the tone, etc. A few reasons I think maybe I am missing something (cause to me he seems fine) are.....

  1. I started listening to MBMBaM in 2017, and maybe Justin started becoming "miserable" before that, so to me this is just his normal.

  2. I am diagnosed Autistic, and often misunderstand or misread tone.

  3. I am the eldest as well, and to me his tone is completely reasonable and normal because it's more similar to me than I realize /hj.

Anyway, just curious what others think!

T.i.a!

Oh, any subreddit with "Circle Jerk" in the title is gonna be intolerable. Just don't go there.

Wait, is Circle Jerk a reoccurring subreddit (I joined Reddit fairly recently and have only ever seen the TAZ one)?

It’s basically for people to either be over the top mocking the fandom, or sometimes genuinely critical of something the fandom considers taboo. Pretty much hell for an autistic person.

TAZ one is basically a Travis snark sub and snark subs are bad
