    Only because I can’t stop thinking about Bean Dad even tho I hope to forget about him tomorrow, but it’s pretty obvious to me that he kind of deep down knew he was being shitty to his daughter, and that’s why he took it to Twitter to reframe his shittiness as a Teachable Moment

        That is why he felt compelled to share it at all, that is why he over explained everything, and more importantly that’s why he just got so defensive and kept doubling down and just genuinely did not understand the issue people took with the whole stupid thing

        And I think people saying that this is an overreaction are missing the point – yes, many normal-ish parents do worse than that from time to time, but this guy was trying to turn his Teachable Moment into Relatable Content, and that’s not just a parenting oopsie

        This is why I was joking-not-joking about blue checkmarks being fair game — it’s disingenuous to frame this guy as just another parent who put his foot in his mouth, he’s a content creator with multiple podcasts, and that Twitter thread was meant to be content that was consumed

        And also, no matter how you frame it as “jokey jokes” or “he supports Israel!” (🤮) this is a clearly a fixation and idk what’s up with Jeopardy guy or NPR guy that they’re like “yeah that’s normal” (And yes I checked before he deleted his account, these are all real).https://twitter.com/darcyleegray/status/1345895275890683905 …

        And just to clarify, 🤮 because “he supports Israel” is not a good rebuttal to “these tweets are anti-Semitic” for many, many reasons.

        And hoping that his thousands of followers (or however many, I didn't look) would blindly back him up since he talks like such a Big Damn Intellectual and probably a lot of the people following him think they are too!

        He co-hosts a podcast with Ken Jennings, he definitely thought he was too Intellectual and Above It All for reproach
