I've read a couple of "embedded journalism" pieces about the Juggalos and their Gathering. I get the impression that they provide a sense of community and family for a lot of people who don't otherwise have one because of various life traumas or disadvantages or just being "different."

Yeah, but writing them off as "white trash" is a lot easier than acknowledging that they're real human beings with emotions and a need to relate to other people.

One of the worst and dumbest subcultures ever. The way they're like a cult would be creepy if it wasn't just so stupid.

BRTD, are you trying to be ironic? This reads exactly like the least charitable reactions to your own subculture of choice. You, more than most people here, should be capable of reading the ugly, classist subtext.

Heh but my subculture hates Juggalos. You should see any messag board's posts on them. They also don't wear facepaint or ridiculous things to shows, or engage in that other ridiculous ritual nonsense. Or listen to music with such an anti-social message. I mean geez, can you imagine Juggalo SJWs?

BRTD, if I told you I think your hobby is a pointless and absurd waste of time and resources, you probably wouldn't like that very much. It wouldn't be very nice of me to say such a thing. Other people let you and your Ingress people do your weird portal stuff. Let the Juggalos be who they want to be. They're not hurting anyone.

Can I make blanket statements about all Muslims being horrid, despicable people just because groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda exist?
