Greg Proops is another.

Greg Poops isn't gay?

He sounds like it. I know it doesn't verify his orientation one way or the other, but he's been married to the same woman for decades.

But he does go on about how women are always so oppressed, how they should be supported no matter what, how they're never at fault. You know, holy, flawless creatures that possess no shortcomings like any regular human being. It's ridiculous to the point of satire, so I'm fully expecting a victim to come forward about how he groped her in the Whose Line Is It Anyway green room.

He molested Luke and turned him gay.

I've browsed Cracked a whole lot before they went pozzed. John Cheese was one of the newer writers back then. He mostly wrote about being a broke deadbeat and, if I remember correctly, being an alcoholic. I can't imagine him having any authority over anyone ever. Especially not as being a writer for then already declining Cracked.

But as Cracked fans these girls were functionally retarded. You can't expect them to figure that out.

I remember back when Cracked was more about humor than anything. Then they brought in the "real talk" stuff. At first it was subtle. Gentle reminders to the readers that there was a real world out there, bad stuff does happen, but you can laugh at it. Then they went insane with reminding readers that bad stuff happens and you need to be diligent, concerned, and angry all the time. Throw in a few dick jokes to prove that they still have a sense of humor, but mostly remind people to be outraged.

John Cheese quickly became one of these living reminders. Yeah, the articles were kind of inspirational at first. White trash kid overcomes alcoholism, becomes a writer, finds success and happiness, etc. If he did it, so can you (TM). Then he got into the social justice bullshit, somehow tying it in with his recycled stories about his shitty upbringing, which added to the site's continuing downward spiral.

I remember when the riots were happening around Flynt, Michigan, and how these assholes were totally for the destruction. "Sometimes civil change needs to result in damaged homes, ruined livelihoods, and terrified people!" was pretty much their message.

I'm sure if the Cracked office building were set on fire, Asian Appropriator Wong and his pack will be standing outside, watching the flames while wondering how this could happen to them. But the ensuing article will be "7 Reasons Why Civil Change Needs to Happen in Our Own Lives" or some shit.

If their office got burned down they could write two articles. "Civil Change Needs to Happen" and "I Was Victimized". Ideological consistency be damned. They did this all the time during the site's downward spiral and it was one of the things that made them so shit. I remember one time they had an article by Mara Wilson (yeah she guest wrote for Cracked, huge red flag) about all the pressures child stars are under and why they go crazy and you should feel bad for them. On the same day, same front page, there was an article making fun of Lindsay Lohan. They'd write articles bemoaning the objectification of women and then write other articles about going to a porn convention and drooling over the pornstars. And of course that boobs example someone posted earlier. And like any proper shitlib they were preachy, condemning, emotionally manipulative and smug when they were moralizing to people.

I dropped the site well before they became preachy or SJW. Before that all happened they were just getting plain boring and when you spotted a list that looked interesting it was an old repost.

And the wagons are circling for JF Sargent now:

Not surprised.

JF Sargent’s had it coming, the arrogant POS. I’m going to enjoy this part.

I don't think I've even heard of the faggot so he must've come along when I already dropped Cracked.
