What a Creep
Season 20, Episode 3
Steven Crowder
Steven Crowder is a far-right comedian and media commenter who has been getting tons of press lately for bad behavior at “Louder with Crowder,”--a very popular YouTube/Rumble channel. He claims to be a strict Christian while also being a racist, sexist, homophobic garbage person. Also--he treated his wife like shit, which is finally enough for some people to drop him.
In the past few weeks alone, he has earned the wrath of Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens, which gives you an idea of how much this guy sucks. Even the shittiest people hate him!

Moms for Liberty: Creepy Political Book Banning Mob May 05, 2023

Show notes

What a Creep
Season 20, Episode 2
Moms for Liberty
In the United States, there’s a resurgence of book banning and preventing the teaching about race, slavery, LGBTQ+ people, and history. This is the result of a certain kind of parent group that loves to talk about “parental rights” but not your parental rights. If you have a gender-nonconforming child, an immunocompromised child, a child with special needs, or a child that isn’t straight and white, no one cares about your parental rights. This is about parents of straight white children.
It’s time to discuss Moms for Liberty, a supposed nonprofit organization focusing on parental rights. They pretend to be a grassroots organization but have strong ties to high-ranking elected officials and national anti-LGBTQ groups.

"Disco Demolition Night" (Chicago, 1979) The rise and fall (and rise again) of DISCO! Apr 28, 2023

Show notes

What a Creep
“Disco Demolition Night: July 12, 1979”
Season 20, Episode 1
Margo and Sonia put on our boogie shoes and prepare to call bull shit on all of the excuses given for “Disco Demolition Night” on Thursday, July 12, 1979, at Comiskey Park in Chicago, IL. A group of boring, racist, sexist, and homophobic idiots decided disco music had been popular for too long. For fun, Chicago shock jock Steve Dahl created a stunt to destroy LPs on the field of a White Sox & Detroit Tigers game!
Mayhem ensued due to the hyped (and hopped) up a crowd of meatheads who had decided that things like Saturday Night Fever, partner dancing, and people who were not “musicians” should have any success, much less a part of pop culture.
All of this disco fuss (which coincided with Anita Bryant's gay bashing on the news every night) makes us realize that fighting pop culture “wars” is a sad, furious (and deeply stupid)tale as old as time.
We have THOUGHTS about this one!

Show notes

What a CreepSeason 19, Episode 8Wanye LaPierre and the NRA
Wayne LaPierre is the CEO of the NRA, the National Rifle Association. He’s the man who said the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. He’s the man who blames mental illness, video games, and movies every time there’s another mass shooting in this country. He’s the man who made the NRA the powerful lobbying organization it is today. Wayne LaPierre is a greedy, selfish creep who manipulates the public discourse on guns to keep those donation dollars flowing into the NRA.

The origin story of "Stockholm Syndrome" & NON-Creep Jaycee Lee Dugard Mar 10, 2023

Show notes

What a Creep
Season 19, Episode 5
“Stockholm Syndrome”Real diagnosis or just sexist trash?
On Thursday, August 23, 1973, a convicted felon Jan-Erik Olsson entered the Kreditbanken Bank in Stockholm, Sweden (technically Norrmalmstrong); he was wearing a wig, painted his eyebrows black, pulled out a submachine gun, and yelled in English with an American accent “the party has begun!”
He fired several shots into the ceiling, announced this was a robbery, and ordered people to the ground. A silent alarm alerted the police, and two officers showed up (one of them unarmed.) Ollson shot one of the officers in his hand while the other was ordered to sit in a chair and sing “Lonesome Cowboy” while taking four hostages into a vault.
Six days later, the entire group, including convicted criminal Clark Olofsson, came out of the bank sacred, dehydrated, and in fear for their lives. They were all scared of the cops, and the kidnap victims had so much sympathy they hugged the captors before being taken to the hospital. All refused to testify against their kidnappers and said they felt more terrified of being harmed by the police than the criminals who held them for days at gunpoint.
The term “Stockholm Syndrome” or, more accurately, Norrmalmstrong Syndrome” was created by Nils Bejerot (a criminologist and psychiatrist), who theorized that victims come to love their kidnappers as a coping mechanism. This would also be the basis of other labels that pathologize and often discredit victims, like trauma bonding (or TROW-MAh, according to Jamie Lee Curtis), battered wife syndrome, and why women seem to pick abusive men.
Over the years, the bank heist and kidnapping situation has been revisited and revised to show a complete picture of what happened in these six days and why Stockholm Syndrome might be a false theory. In short, it’s a creepy diagnosis meant to show women how weak they are under pressure. We think it is bullshit.
