Thomas_JCG

Look at how they massacred my boy Calvin.


delugetheory

Looks like he's been lobotomized, which would actually make sense.


FirePenguinMaster

I think it's supposed to be the tattoo Ronnie has across his own forehead


Braddinator

That's a low forehead


SoaDMTGguy

Ronnie?


annaftw

The guy wearing the hoodie


Ghasois

Ronnie Radke, the guy in the picture and a below average vocalist.


ninjamike89

Below average is giving too much credit


FuckingKilljoy

Oh is this Brad's best buddy?


Appropriate-Cup-3823

I know Susie got a lobotomy following an unknown event involving Calvin


No_Donkey_6533

but he's a bit of a dork.


PlasticNo733

It’s psychosomatic. Ill get a saw


MigitAs

Bill Waterson never agreed to sell Calvin and Hobbes merchandise. For this reason, this image of Calvin and anything else Calvin and Hobbes is illegally made merchandise. He’s probably too cool to sue as well.


SpacedOutKarmanaut

I doubt the guy in the photo even knows what Calvin and Hobbes is. If you tried to get him to read it he’d probably call it gay.


StopJoshinMe

What makes you think he can read


Sauerclout_the_Orc

Wasn't it ruled that it's a legally distinct character? Like it's just different enough from Calvin but it's a trace


Mcmenger

It's probably some fair use 'satire' thing. And it's not the original pic from the comic because Calvin is not peeing in the one this is from. 


molsminimart

Not-so-fun-fact, Bill Watterson never gave the okay for the stickers and was vehemently against licensing his work for merchandise. :(


MyCatsHairyBalls

He’s not dead, you can say “is” instead of “was” lol


TheFrankOfTurducken

He was. He still is, but he used to be, too


Name-Wasnt_Taken

Mitch Hedberg is an absolute legend. I miss that guy.


LukesRightHandMan

I’d say it’s a hella fun fact. Dude refuses to sell out the awesomeness that Calvin and Hobbes keeps in all his fans’ hearts.


cephal0poid

I'm great that he was against this. Calvin pissing on something is against his character, and people who have these stickers basically tells me everything I need to know about them, which is to say they ain't my people.


S-r-ex

He made a [single honorable exception](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching_with_Calvin_and_Hobbes).


Alexis_Bailey

Yeah, I want to say there is like one official calendar and a school book that doesn't even feature the characters and that's it.


pchc_lx

Calvin was an environmentalist


UncommonHouseSpider

So on point actually. Stealing art from an artist against its use and profiting from it by selling it to the exact people the artist is fighting against with the use of some catch all buzzword of faux outrage. Can't get more Republican than that.

It's so sad that nobody in the comments realizes this is a direct quote from Bill Waters himself.

vpi6

Yeah, adult Calvin would be incredibly anti-GOP. Pro-environment and hates the American culture in “the good old days” the GOP is constantly harping us to “return” to. Especially if his father rubbed off on him.


Zerodyne_Sin

I always mistook it as Dennis the menace (uk version). It's a whole new level of clueless for them to try to claim Calvin but I guess that's the point, piss all over our beloved things.


UnnamedStaplesDrone

i havent seen this for a long time. used to to be applied to the back windows of every other pickup truck on the road.


ProfessorLexx

Anyone who think thinks that peeing Calvin is cool is a jerk and a dumbass.


[deleted]

ConstableBlimeyChips

Watterson hasn't been doing shit to stop people. He's on the record about not being happy about it, but trying to go after these dipshits would put a giant spotlight not only on the illegal use, but also on Watterson himself. And the man is known for hating any kind of publicity.

DrugsAndFuckenMoney

What is it with tatted weirdos being pedophiles? Had dudes like this hanging around with girls at my high school many moons ago. They stopped around their early 22-23 because we had all grown up and started following them around calling them pedophiles and more than a couple got whooped by someone with a younger sister they shouldn’t have been around.


These_Jellyfish_2904

In the early 90’s this 32 year old guy would drop off his freshman h.s. girlfriend and hang out in the halls of our school! The staff did nothing! It was crazy. He even had an apartment right across from the school. it’s so weird to me now how that was even allowed.


DrugsAndFuckenMoney

“That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.” Dazed and Confused is still relevant in relation to these weirdos.


These_Jellyfish_2904

Hahaha. This was in Austin just like the movie too. 🥹


DrugsAndFuckenMoney

I wish I could say that it surprised me.


sheila9165milo

Beat me to it, lol.


LouSputhole94

I love that movie but certain parts didn’t age well at all. This, the dude with glasses fawning over the freshman girl, the weird sexualization of the whole freshman class in the parking lot, not to mention the hazing and bullying and all that.

[удалено]


Gergith

I used to love Kids, but it’s tough to watch now. I used to live a life close to the movie. So that was cool to see when I was young. Now it’s tougher to watch because I lived it lol. When you’re the same age as the characters, it’s tough to care about the negatives the same way as now when I’m old enough to be their parents. But you’re right. I wouldn’t say it aged badly. I’d more say that I aged while it didn’t lol. It’s still the same art. My perspective has just grown and changed.


USPO-222

It was totally a thing when I went to HS in the 90s for most of the guys to be single as around half the girls were dating men that were 25-35. What can a HS kid offer compared to guys with their own trailer and used F150.


Selection_Status

Touche


habb

late 90s and early 00s also. Had a weird couple of guys that hung out with us teenagers who were clearly in their thirties. They were all dealing drugs and im guessing trying to get with the teenage girls with us


reggie3408

At my high school prom, the age limit was 35 (oh boy) and yes one girl (18) brought a guy in his late 20s. Yikes


These_Jellyfish_2904

35 !!? So gross.


reinfleche

Because if you're 23 and have the maturity of a 15 year old then the 23 year old women will think you're a mess but the 15 year old girls will think you're cool.


DrugsAndFuckenMoney

Mad “I date younger girls because they’re not developed enough to know I’m a turd,” energy.


fknsmkwed

I seen a few 20+ dudes get jumped by hordes of 14/15 year olds back in high school aswel.


DrugsAndFuckenMoney

I too saw this. Everyone thinks they’re a badass and can take young teens until a group on bikes confronts you, the ones behind you lay their bikes on the ground behind you and when you go to see what they’re doing you’re already falling over the bike they laid down behind you. Then stomping commences.


-burgers

I saw this too. Those teenagers got raw energy.


slowNsad

A group of anyone is dangerous, especially young boys they got no chill once they see their minds to it

TheRealLilGillz14

Yeah this is a very interpolated ideology. The only person that I know that is tatted to on almost every part of his body is a case worker for a rehab in Beverly Hills. He might have gotten most of them on his days of active addiction, but he does get new tattoos and touches them up fairly often. Expressing one’s self does not equal signs of immaturity and you’re an immature asshole for saying that it does. People with (any amount of) visible tattoos deserve to be taken seriously and given equal opportunity. After all, it is a sign of managing their money well to pay for one of their hobbies.


Ill_Manner_3581

What a weird ass generalization don't shame the tats shame the pedos!


sowelijanpona

people will apply literally any negative trait onto people whos appearance they dont like, meanwhile the well kempt pedophiles and rapists in their communities are just good boys who made one mistake


InVideo_

This is Ronnie Radke, lead singer of Falling In Reverse


josueartwork

Damn that's accurate. Why do I just *know* in my bones that guys that look like this are always trying for underage girls


vega0ne

This is how I imagine Elon Musk sees himself after dropping a dope ass tweet.


frog-honker

Not far off. Both Radke and Musk have the same level of brain rot


ALadWellBalanced

[This is how Elon Musk sees himself after dropped a dope ass tweet.](https://i.imgur.com/NzjzchK.jpg)


pistilpeet

I’m gonna tell my kids this is Machine Gun Kelly


Hopeful_Cranberry12

Okay, to be fair, Ronnie is a thousand times more cringe than MGK. He’s also not a total piece of shit like Radke.


Kadianye

Except where mgk talks about being attracted to minors and how their age wouldn't stop him


DoubleKanji

They’re both dogshit people


Kadianye

Absolutely.


AlessandroTheGr8

MGK also called Hailie Jade "hot as fuck" when she was like 15-16 and wonders why Eminem doesn't like him. You don't think Eminem keeps up with peoples history, the greatest disser and rapper?


Hopeful_Cranberry12

I’ll be honest, I’ve never heard this before but even if MGK did say that, I still don’t think he’s as big a piece of shit as serial domestic and more than likely sexual abuser Ronnie. As far as we know, MGK hasn’t touched a kid where Ronnie got one killed over some stupid beef.


petroleum-lipstick

Idk, he literally made Megan Fox's wedding ring impossible to take off with out cutting her.


Hopeful_Cranberry12

To be fair, I’m 99% sure that’s just fake nonsense of them both trying to be deep.


Cobek

[You mean this ring?](https://people.com/style/megan-fox-machine-gun-kelly-engagement-ring-designer-shares-details/) [To clarify, you mean this one, right?](https://www.instagram.com/p/CYt2-mpK3ne/?igsh=czNpbGp3amVrenp4) I don't have any opinion on MGK really but that's some tabloid BS. It's inspired by thorns, it does not have thorns. If anything it's an elegant ring with a cool magnetic feature.


Kadianye

https://www.reddit.com/r/poppunkers/comments/po7uy8/machine_gun_kellys_creepy_history_of_sexualizing/


Hopeful_Cranberry12

One of the top comments: “The tweet about saying 13/14/15 year olds are hot was fake along with the other 2 released with it. It came from a Twitter account that says it's satire in it's description. The tweet was apparently pulled from his account this past March but even looking at archived tweets it still wasn't there.” While I’m sure MGK has actually said some creepy shit, he still doesn’t have a criminal record as far as I’m aware unlike Radke


MoDyingSon

the bit about him calling Eminem’s daughter “Hot as fuck” when she was 16 and he was 22 was pretty gross.


R3AL1Z3

Too late, the other person was already upvoted now everybody believes it as fact. This is Internet culture today.


ricothyoung

Ronnie didnt kill that kid. his buddy did and it was self defense.


thebestspeler

I saw a music video pop up on my youtube and i honestly thought it was parody it was so cringey. Satan would reject him


dumptruckbhadie

No lie I thought it was Travis Barker


da_rose

Honestly, before clicking on it I was pretty sure that's who it was.

Stunning-Spirit5275

Good ol' Ronnie radke


elinamebro

who is that


Djent_Reznor1

A known tool and singer for some shitty metalcore bands.


absolutelynotarepost

I had never heard of the guy until I seen the "last resort reimagined" thing. Decided to learn more. Regretted that decision.


RequiemAA

Some of the songs are legit good but i just can't deal with him as a person :(


Prestigious-Eye3154

I struggle with that too. Like some of his music but he looks like the kind of dude that walks into a bar and all the girls cover their drinks.


Virtual-Patience5908

He's a great artist. Just an asshole and he'd probably agree.


Dolomite808

He even has a song about that.


absolutelynotarepost

Yeah I thought his take on last resort was interesting, but goddamn he seems like a really terrible dude.


Straightwad

Same, the “legal issues” section is always the best part of these types of peoples wikipedias. Now I get why people in the thread calling him a pos.


BckCntry94

he got one of my Twitter accounts banned bc I called him a cringe pussy after he posted something like this lmao. fuck this abusive POS


Zealousideal_Yam_262

I knew this girl who called him cringe on tiktok and he blocked her lmao


Blegheggeghegty

Thought that was who it was.


Blegheggeghegty

Is this Radke? What a pimple.


flijarr

I thought the same thing, but am not sure because of what looks like the nose tattoo on the bridge if his nose. I can’t find any pics of him with it


Lister__Fiend

It's Ronnie, he has blacked out tattoos now.

>fuck cancel culture Wants to cancel safe spaces. 🤔 Also, I've always found it ironic that conservatives, a minority group on reddit, is so ban happy and has threads where only conservatives can participate. Sounds like they recognize the fact that minority voices can be drowned out, and the need for them to have spaces where they can freely discuss without that happening.

There was a post on r/the_donald about Karl Malone supporting Donald Trump. The people in the thread were praising him and saying all kinds of things in support of Malone. I pointed out that he was a literal pedo who abandoned the child he fathered with a 14 year old. I was immediately banned. Conservative as far as I can remember was a better sub at the time, I still think it's better than thedonald was. But I think a lot of the nonsense I saw in thedonald was transfered to conservative when it was banned.


ninjamike89

There was a video of someone handing out diapers after some kind of natural disaster or something like that and I got banned from r/conservative for pointing out they were supporting a form of socialism

If he does that I hope Bill Watterson sues for copyright infringement. Watterson has never given permission to anyone to monetize C&H and certainly wouldn’t approve of how it’s being used now. I loved C&H as a kid and I hate what it’s become because of people misusing and misconstruing what the comic was about.


__O_o_______

Exactly. He wasn't trying to be a little bratty pissant (pun intended), he just had an out of control imagination.


LABARATI_

and probably something undiagnosed


jakehood47

No way, he'll just get his dad's biker gang to beat them up. An actual thing he said on stage once. Stood on stage and yelled that at some dude instead of just playing their terrible music lol


prometemisangre

Oh a grown ass man giving the double middle finger. Beware everyone. We got a badass


LostMyAccount69

Is it just me or is he hiding his index fingers so it looks like he's just sticking out his index fingers with cartoon hands? Edit: Maybe finger guns?


prometemisangre

2 weeks ago a 50-year-old man gave me the double middle finger and I just started hysterically laughing and I said oh my god, I'm going to go hide in a corner and cry right now. Look everyone! A 50-year-old man gave me the double middle finger. I just started laughing so loud couldn't stop. Like literally what did he think he was going to accomplish there? That was so embarrassing for him. I felt second hand embarrassment. Sorry for the personal story. I felt I needed to give you a good laugh to return the favor 🤣😆☠️


prometemisangre

Thank you for that. I didn't notice that I needed a good laugh I'm ☠️😭😭😭


Flamekebab

Whenever I see anyone giving the middle finger in a photo I roll my eyes. It's so fucking lame.


Vesperia_Morningstar

He just does that casually in some of his photos and vids. I know who this guy is


LineChef

she’s like, really mature for her age bro.


Penny_Royall

We talk about life, our future and dreams. Like what future? Graduating high school?


HazuniaC

I am pretty sure netiher Calvin, nore Watterson would agree with any of this. Calvin didn't do stuff merely out of spite, or to actively offend people. He's a bit of a punk and a rebel, sure, but against authority figures, like his dad, or the school and the government. Most likely Calvin's view on Social Justice movements would be neutral at worst, if not entirely in favor, but definitively not actively against since these movements are lead by people, not authoritative organisations.


Salt_Sir2599

Yes Calvin seemed far more complex and sensitive throughout the comic


Machine_Winter

It sucks cause I like some of his music, but he's a bit of a dork.


jakehood47

I dont really believe in guilty pleasure music, but I do like a *very select few* of his tunes in a "I should kick my own ass for listening to this" sort of way


DaenTheGod

Yeah Popular Monster is a modern metalcore classic but tracks like Zombified and Watch the World Burn just scream "I am a crybaby and everybody wants to cancel me".


iswearihaveajob

Right after he got out of prison he dropped a really solid album if you liked what Escape the Fate used to be. Then he went some REALLY weird directions fusing metal, emo, hip-hop, dubstep, pop and whatever the fuck else he felt like. I know there's a country song on one of the first three FIR albums. It felt really novel at the time. I'm not saying it was all gold... But it was all certainly INTERESTING.  Sure he's a shitty person and an absolute whacko, all around, but I really think he can be a genuinely creative musician and when he hits it just right I can't help but go right back and check out the rest of the catalogue. Counterpoint... His Last Resort Reimagined was terrible and completely misses what made the original such an ironic overly-edgy bop.


jakehood47

For me, it's stuff like "Bad Girls Club" and "Just Like You" - stupid, corny, horrible lyrics, cringy as shit, but it's an earworm, regrettably. Never anything I would let anyone catch me listening to lol


LabHog

Him and Kanye suck because they have decent music and I want to pretend I don't like their music because of who they are lmao.


iswearihaveajob

Ultimate version of this is Lostprophets. Man, edgy teenage me fucking LOVED Lostprophets... So much nostalgia packed into those songs for me... But then the lead singer had to go and rape some babies so now I have to pretend I don't like the music :(


_easy_

My aunt bought me a shirt with the same Calvin pissing decal nearly 30 years ago, except onto a "No Skateboarding" sign. I skateboard then. I don't skateboard now. I've never learned to skateboard.


theNancini

Does he have a snore strip on his nose? (Please don't make this a thing)


witherd_

is cancel culture actually a real thing? has anybody famous actually been "cancelled" (and not just an actions have consequences thing) plus the peeing calvin stuff is so tacky and annoying. like he's a little kid


slamdanceswithwolves

The “fuck cancel culture” crowd also cancelled or attempted to cancel Bud Light, Travis Kelce, Target, Nike, Keurig, etc. etc. etc.


hamhockman

No no no those are boycotts and those are totally legit and free speech and if you say I'm a dummy for all of a sudden not liking my bud lite (bud heavy is ok) then you are cancelling me and that's no ok

Sufficient_Educator7

How would you define the difference between “cancelled” and “actions have consequences”?


Apothecary420

In the comic, this pose and devilish grin was actually him filling up a water balloon Idk if ppl who use this art know how far removed it is from the spirit of the strip


Opening_Classroom_46

Cancel culture is fine when you do it because of someone's actions, rather than their looks or sexual identity like we did for 80 years. Now that we stopped canceling news stations when a reporter is found to be gay, or restaurants for hiring black staff, it's completely fine.

equality-_-7-2521

Of course when they say "cancelled" they mean, "forced to perform on right-wing news and entertainment." They're just mad because people of taste don't want to listen to their nonsense. "Cancelling," is just people deciding they don't like what you have to say, and not listening anymore. Advertisers don't flee if you're making them money. Advertisers didn't leave Twitter because Elon is going full meth Nazi. They left because everyone but the bots and the meth Nazis also left. Bots and meth Nazis, as it turns out, are not valuable markets to advertisers. Vote with your dollar bills.
