I have to be honest. I wanted to hate this particular episode. As someone who has used apps like Scruff and Grindr., I have become jaded and turned off by the type of individuals I’ve encountered. However, listening to Johnny Scruff during this podcast episode, I found him so endearing. I found him extremely articulate and humble. As an avid listener of Feast of Fun, Johnny is one of my favorite guests and I would love to hear more from him in the future. Because of him, I have reinstalled Scruff to my phone and I am now find myself using the app in ways I never thought were possible for a “hookup app”.
Marc and Fausto, I enjoy your commentary on political and entertainment issues. I must admit, I was once a premium subscriber but due to financial reasons I made the choice to get rid of my subscribers. I am now seriously reconsidering reversing this decision. Keep on doing what you’re doing! Love you both, my gay uncles!
I just gave you the hook up Bryce. Send some cash when you get a chance.
Hey guys, Johnny Scruff sounds like one of thr most down to earth guys. It’s refreshing to find somone who is running a major app who still just seams like eh it aint no thing. He is cuddely lol
The whole Alaska Thunderfuck trans* video thing, just gurr and sigh. I really do hate the word shemale. I know Ru Paul’s context isn’t the same and partly I don’t really care about it… I seam to be a weird trans* person because some stuff it gets to me but it doesn’t.
Sometimes I really do think trans* need to pick the right fights.
I really do think trans* people should devote more time taking care of trans* on the streets. I’ve been there, it is no fun, if not for the gay comunity I’d be dead, and that is not a metaphor. Because of this in my life I try to help where I can in any way I can.
For my self I won’t police what someone says in a club cus thats their own business, in the media it might want to be taken in to consideration just because if your brodcasting to a wide group of people and trans* people are watching, policing language for us is the same as staying away from words that are offensive racist or sexist etc.
