  1. While I like some of his videos I find the ones like this problematic. Why you got to be hateful dude? Why you got to call single moms bitches? There is enough real injustice in the world that you don’t have to punch down like this.

    ​

  2. With respect to this guy and those who enjoy his take on things (I’ve enjoyed some of his stuff myself), are we not all completely exhausted of endlessly dredging the internet for stupid bullshit to be outraged over? It’s like a crazy arms race that continually lowers the bar, driving the outrage peddlers ever further afield to seek out rarer varieties of dumbassery.

  3. oh bullshit.

    You do not just randomly or organically run into a single mom horning in on father’s day.

    you think of something that offend’s your shitlord teen/20’s male viewers, then you look for it. then you shit on it, and present it to your army of imbeciles. They smell it, taste it, then they ‘like’ the video and donate $5 to your patreon.

  4. Coming from a family that was raised by a single mother; literally none of us care.

    Anyone get mad about the fact that veteran’s day is ruined by the millions of cheap ads trying to trick americans into buying more stuff they dont need?

    didn’t we all agree that holidays are just discounts and incentives that’s pushed by the state to increase tax revenue?

    Why are we mad again?

  5. because there is nothing women love more than taking joy away from men

    how dare fathers have their own day we have to take it over because being a single mom is the hardest job in the world

  6. Hbomber guy just made a video about “woke” brands and how they know marketing like this creates enough outrage to get people talking on social media about their brand but not enough to actually harm their brand. Some examples are Nike with their Collin Kaepernick ad and the Gillette ad.

  7. A couple of years ago there was this low key movement to get Father’s Day changed to “special person’s day” or something along those lines. Of course it caused a bit of a ruckus because… well, why fuck with Father’s Day? Why not use one of the other remaining hundreds of days? I do understand the sentiment about not wanting kids with no Dads to be left out but I can’t sympathise with it. Dads deserve a dedicated Father’s Day, too.

  8. As someone raised their entire life by a single mother, this is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever fucking seen.

    I don’t understand how so many people can be offended by “micro-aggressions” when (white) straight men say something that somehow devalues another person, but allow the exact same behavior to go the other direction.

  9. not to be a downer, but stats actually PROVE most criminals are raised by single mothers. I think like 80% of people in prison are raised by single mothers. we should not be celebrating them. here are some more stats:
    63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average.

    90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average.

    85% of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Center for Disease Control)

    80% of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes –14 times the average. (Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26)

    71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (National Principals Association Report)

    Children with Fathers who are involved are 40% less likely to repeat a grade in school.

    Children with Fathers who are involved are 70% less likely to drop out of school.

    Children with Fathers who are involved are more likely to get A’s in school.

    Children with Fathers who are involved are more likely to enjoy school and engage in extracurricular activities.

    75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes – 10 times the average.

    it’s almost as if raised by single mothers with no masculine presence is very toxic to the social development of a child. and yet we want to give them Father’s day. SMH.

  10. I was raised by a single mom. When I was a kid she used to encourage me and my sister to honour her on Father’s Day – mostly so she could brag to friends/family about what a good parent she was.

    I stopped buying her Father’s Day presents/cards once I realized she was manipulating us to do so as a way for her to get attention.

  11. I know know why he’s so shocked that people without fathers got so offended at the idea of Father’s having their own day. These people didn’t have anyone to teach them to be thickskinned and let shit roll off their back.

    Source: i’m the product of a single mother and also easily offended

  12. People choose what they choose. It shouldn’t be such a huge issue.

    I was raised by a single mom who tried her best. I personally choose to honor her on both days (though mother’s day a lot more). I also choose to honor her many times throughout the year because she was a great mom, and I recognize how hard it was to do it all herself.

    I also don’t begrudge those who have actual fathers and want to celebrate them. There are some great dad’s out there as well.

    Live and let live.

  13. Pediatrician here (I was raised by two amazing parents btw)

    Single fathers get judged so badly and get so little respect from society.

    They rarely get single custody even when the mom is a drug addict. Mother’s have so much more power in the legal system. They get weird looks from people, at parks in the store, etc. They get questioned about being alone with their daughters at home “why are you bathing with your daughter?”. All things normal parents would do, all things single mother’s do with their child, but the moment its a single dad raising the child they are immediately labelled as a questionable pedophile. It’s pretty messed up.

  14. This is stupid to be posted about. Single mothers can have two days? Sure! Bam sweet. You have a Dad? Sweet, celebrate him on Father’s day. He probably deserves it. Give whatever guardians you have a call once in awhile. They probably worked really hard to make your life as good as possible.

  15. I mean, this issue is so old it can probably buy its own beer by now. Just, first of all. This isn’t exactly a new thing.

    But I feel like I’d be more okay with what he’s saying if it didn’t get sprinkled with random inflammatory shit every twenty seconds. Like referring to women as “bitches”, or making fun of the Indian children’s accents. Dude, just make your point and leave it. It shouldn’t be hard to express, it’s been around long enough for people to know what the argument is.

  16. I raised two daughters as a single father and I say no to both: mother’s and father’s day. We wanted kids. You didn’t have a say. We didn’t do it for you, we did it for ourselves. No thanks needed.

    The way things are going there should be “Sorry for bringing you into this world day”.

  17. I don’t get why they use people who are borderline crying while talking. If that was a normal person who was actually borderline crying, the filming would stop, they would let them compose themselves, then they would go on filming. Since they didn’t do that, you can only really assume that the crying is fake, so it’s very awkward to watch. I guess they want to show emotions rather than just explain them, but it’s very awkward and again hard to watch and not skip over. There’s a common trend on reddit too where people try to show videos of other people crying or yelling or otherwise just being very emotional, and it doesn’t really make sense, demonstrating or exaggerating looking emotion isn’t something to value, it’s just awkward. Let the people compose themselves and then get on with the filming so they can properly share their story.

    And if they are embellishing their crying while telling a story about their mothers, isn’t it a little disingenuous to the mother to try to embellish the story by faking crying? The whole phenomenon is weird.

  18. I knew a guy from high school who got a chick pregnant basically right after we graduated. She kept the kid and he ran off when she became pregnant, as in: left the city.

    He always tried really hard to act tough and be “gangster” in school but when he knocked some chick up straight out of grade 12, he sissied out and disappeared on her. Now that kid is probably over 10 years old and last I knew, he didn’t even know his real father still.

    What a cool guy though eh? Especially after how tough and G’d-out he always acted in school. I remember him picking on me and other kids in our grade back then like we were losers. Well hey douchebag, least I’m not the type of loser to run out on my own flesh and blood.
