Good evening, Lemmy,

I recently got into Insane Clown Posse and, as a result, into Juggalo culture. Since acceptance, respect, and support are such important ideals among Juggalos, I was wondering:

Are Juggalos, therefore, allies of the LGBTQ+ community?

Since I live in Germany and have yet to meet someone who even likes ICP in my country, I have basically zero contact with Juggalos. So, everything I know comes from what I’ve read online, and I was wondering how this translates into real life.

      I fucking hated that segment.

      That shitty host is like “WOW GET A LOAD OF THESE FREAKS” the whole time while the freaks are being welcoming and nice.

      I know it’s the dudes schtick to be the sassy, judgemental gay guy but those juggalos but he was desperately trying to make them the butt of the joke and it didn’t work. He looked like a total asshole, it was like listening to a Mean Girl bully the nicest kids in class.

      The only part he wasn’t an obnoxious douchebag was during the sit-down interview.

        That’s literally the joke. They start with the wrong opinion then slowly educate you with the correct one.

      The whole thing is great, but for me 3:50 is where you can really pick up the whole vibe in just about a minute. Particularly the perfectly respectful way of handling not knowing how to pronounce someone’s name. And then lapsing into a hallucinogenic zone out time.
