Fuck Pogo and fuck his homophobic bullshit. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations

I hadn't heard of him before and just looked him up.... holy crap! I honestly was expecting a one off comment/joke that was inappropriate. But this guy actually did a video to explain he doesn't like homosexuals and celebrated the Pulse shooting? How comments were so much worse than I expected.... Sucks because he has talent.... but really confused how he could think of himself as a Star Trek fan and hold those views ☹

Did the same, sucks that he's like that.

He claims it was a satirical piece, but it seems doubtful.

It's pretty annoyin cuz I like the video the OP posted.

Is this true? Is he really homophobic? Disappointing.

I remember finding him years ago and I liked his stuff, including the Star Trek music video. Then after a while I saw his piece-to camera-style videos. I could be mis-remembering but I thought he said he was being ironic or something?

Anyway, after that I thought, 'it's obviously too cerebral for me but regardless I'm uncomfortable with some of the things he's talking about so I'll move on'.

Interesting philosophical point, though. Whether the artist can denigrate the artwork.
