It feels like every time I find a podcast about security/networking/technology the hosts end up saying some pretty off-color stuff, or I look them up and they also host right wing podcasts. Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?
Darknet Diaries. It’s more of a “stories in the web security space” kind of podcast. But I have not noticed any political leaning in the host so far.
Highly recommend it. I binged all existing episodes last year.
Weird how people like you can’t hear an opinion if the person speaking isn’t gay.
It’s weird how some people (who might be LGBT, a woman,BIPOC, or not bigots) don’t want to hear conservative white people spouting racist, sexist, bigoted crap …
From OP: Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?
How is this different from: are there any podcast hosted by right wing and or racists whyte cucks, at least not openly pro gay?
People need to understand thay this attitude goes both ways and fuels these degenerate culture war dick measuring contests.
This is not about teams, it’s about people not being ACTIVELY BIGOTED
Just…come on man. Hatred isn’t an opinion.
People disagreeing with someone else’s politics doesn’t make them a bigot.
Left right thing is a just a circus when most of us are the bottom. But people love a good circle jerk, so here we are.
People disagreeing with someone else’s politics doesn’t make them a bigot.
there are a very large number of ways disagreeing with someone’s politics would obviously make someone a bigot, such as “disagreeing that queer people should have the right to marry”. this is not a serious argument.
Odd. I have never found a tech podcast that is right wing. All of them i have ever heard are done by lefties
Same, I would actually be curious to listen to a right wing tech podcast as the two concepts clash so hard in my brain.
There’s very much a Peter Thiel-esque type of libertarian tech bro - think the crypto fanatics, the Elon Musk fanboys, etc. Or, tangentially, how New Atheism collapsed in part because some women had the audacity to point out that sexual harassment is a thing. On a similar note, just go onto any online video game and openly announce yourself to be gay or a woman.
Geek culture and its associated cultures have always had an undercurrent of sexism, probably not unrelated to the fact that they’re historically dominated by somewhat awkward or lonely men. That feeling of male angst and isolation is absolutely something that the Right has been able to successfully exploit. Take Gamergate, for instance.
Not specifically about podcasts, but I think there’s a minority (?) of privacy/security enthusiasts who are pretty overtly right-wing libertarians, often because those technologies are anti-establishment. Think Luke Smith. I’ve also met people in the tech sphere (both on the I love Big Tech as well as FOSS side) who have very traditionalist, borderline right-wing opinions.
