Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ummm, I wouldn't normally defend ICP, but Violent J and the other members of ICP have come out as supportive of basically everyone in the last few years*, and have straight up said that their early songs are indictive of how uneducated they were at the time, and have since then disavowed, and stopped playing all those songs.
ICP, and Juggalos in general seem like a Hard Rock/ Rap version of The Rainbow Family at this point.
Juggalos are also getting news stories for doing the same thing that the punk scene did, and tossing fascists out of their gatherings, then showering them with faygo.
*I know they came out as supportive of LGBTQ, as well as furries, partially because of their kids. People learning to be better is a good thing.
To be clear, ICP have always been anti-bigotry, with a sprinkle of homophobia. They stopped the homophobic crap tho.
Was this comment made on the correct post?
Yes.
O.P. used "Juggalo" as a derogatory term indicating a prejudiced and ill-informed person. The reply is in defence of ICP, and by extension Juggalos. Pointing out that they have made considerable strides in inclusivity.
I just read the post that the parent meant to reply to. So yes
So they figured out how magnets work?
I don't actually think they figured out how anything works. It seems their kids made them realize the messages they used to promote were hateful to either their own children, or the friends of their children.
I'm sure that getting morally upstaged by your own kid is both embarrassing and a very proud moment for many parents. I wouldn't know.
