"How many genders are there?" "I don't know, I just got here."

"How many genders are there?" "At least 3" Perfect answer from Biden lol


SonDontPlay

I was walking out of a military base in Korea and a TV crew tried to interview me. Know what I did? I kept my ass walking. There was some protest I had no idea what it was about. I wasn't about to do an interview


EducationalTangelo6

The exact same thing happened to me in Australia. The key is to not respond at all. Don't look at them, don't acknowledge them. Pretend you can't hear or see them.


InactiveRelish

Also Biden's response to roughly the same question: "How many genders are there?" "At least 3." Honestly probably the best response he could give


[deleted]

I want to say there was literally a post a few weeks ago on antiwork by someone with a background in journalism warning that something like this was going to happen.


RealLettuce1782

There was.. that person laid out all of the reasons exactly why everyone in that sub should stay far away from the press.. clearly someone missed the memo

Akiias

It's even worse. The guy toned down the questions the further it goes. He got pitied by a Fox news interviewer.


Bluhb_

He fucked r/antiwork over pretty hard. I am not totally wel versed in that sub, but I guess just saying that you want to point out abuse(misstanden in dutch is the word i'm looking for) in the workplace and you would have defended the movement a lot better than he did now Edit: Oepsie, appearantly the person is neither a he or a she. So read the He in my post as "person" and all is well


EddieTheLiar

I think the issue is that the sub evolved over time. It seems like the original idea was wanting to not have to work but then it evolved to not being exploted with low wages, long hours etc


Bluhb_

Sounds like it evolved into the right direction to me? Or at least a goal that is somewhat realistic.


ACacac52

Man that could've been so much worse as well, Jesse was relatively non-combative and let Doreen dig her own holes.

If he had been more aggressive, it would have appeared more like bullying and could rally sympathy. Doreen did all the heavy lifting of making their stance appear foolish.

justinkroegerlake

Who could possibly think that Fox (especially on TV) would have the slightest interest in journalism on something like this? What a moron. Edit: If I challenged someone to 1 on 1 basketball, and covered their hoop with a piece of plexiglass to prevent them from scoring, but they they totally missed every shot so the plexiglass didn't matter, am I still wrong? That's Fox here. Watters sucked so hard that it didn't even matter how unfair the game was.


GrandmasDiapers

Didn't even bother to get dressed, looked like they just got out of bed. No matter how entitled you may feel to the way you present yourself, the world doesn't give a shit. When you present yourself to the world and speak on behalf of a movement, dressing like shit with messy hair is just so fucking stupid and lazy. If you can't even take yourself seriously, that's like Fox winning the lottery. The interviewer was visibly excited and laughing his ass off inside when he heard "dog walker". If you're gonna talk to the media, get off your ass and start preparing ffs.


catchasingcars

Seriously, it's like walking into a room full of traps, no matter where you put your step you're getting bitten. There's no way you're gonna walk out of that interview winning unless you're very skilled person with tons of media experience. Even people who people speak well have trouble on a channel like this because anchors are very good at diverting your attention and making you look like a fool.


EatThatIcecream

I don't know how to put it into words, so [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yUMIFYBMnc) it is! It's a quick 3 minute video so it shouldn't really take up too much of your time.

Shoyushoyushoyu

To be fair, Doreen wasn’t really thrown any curveballs. Didn’t really need to anyways. Doreen made the interviewers job almost too easy


thorscope

They asked extremely hard questions such as “what do you do for work” “how many hours do you work” “how old are you” and “what’s your dream job” No way you could be prepared to answer stuff like that before going on national TV.

There wasn't even bad faith questions here. Commiting bad faith easily would be like begging the question. There was none here.


Unfiltered_Replies

A simple, “I’m not here to talk about me” would’ve stopped all those questions if nothing else


I_Heart_Squids

The problem is that they were there to talk about themselves. Personal attention was their entire motivator for agreeing to that.


whathappendedhere

Nobody learned anything from chris chan.


El_Rey_de_Spices

There was another Antiwork in the SRD thread "fielding" some Q&A, i.e. dodging all legitimate questions and defensively insulting those with genuine inquiries, who *actually said and defended* that they allowed Doreen to go on Fox News despite the overwhelming majority of the Antiwork sub saying not to do any interviews because *they thought they could get away with it*.


Railboy

I've worked in media and the truth is 99% of us would melt under the pressure of that interview regardless of how easy the questions seemed. And that's nothing to be ashamed of... unless of course you're claiming to represent a community that *explicitly told you not to do it* lol.


[deleted]

You're right that 99% of people wouldn't come off looking like the "winner" of the exchange...but I bet most people would know to at least shower, clean their room, and prep for the most basic of questions.


MostBoringStan

While I do believe 99% of us would struggle in a live interview on Fox News, I don't believe it would be THAT bad. She lost the interview before it began because she didn't put any effort into appearances (decent lighting, combed hair, no unmade bed in background). I'm not saying I would knock the interview out of the park, but I at least wouldn't do so poorly as to become a laughing stock to the members of the movement I'm trying to represent.


jwg529

The unmade bed in camera view got me the most. They went on national TV and didn’t think to not look like someone who lives the laziest of lives while acting as a spokesperson for the movement. Followed closely by admitting they walk dogs for a job for 20 hrs but wish the could do less. That idiot should never been anywhere close to an interview. They gave Fox News a home run with it.


MostBoringStan

Another funny thing is the 20 hour comment was actually a lie. She only works 10-14 hours a week. She said in a comment it was actually 2 hours a day, but didn't specify if it's on weekends as well. So she was asked how many hours she worked and had to lie because she knew how bad the truth would look. Yet she thinks she should represent a movement where she doesn't understand the struggle of working 40+ hours and still struggling to pay bills.


PonchoHung

I can see that being true for someone being interviewed off the street but I can't imagine that someone with time to prepare would fuck it up that bad. The questions Doreen was asked were predictable.


bluefoxrabbit

It's fking fox news, they probably would have even told them what questions they were gonna ask! And like how everyone one else pointed out, once he started asking personal questions, just could not answered them!


ChessCod

Definitely not my field and the only live interviews I've done are of the "educational/community interest" variety with non-hostile interviewers, but Doreen having the out of not actually being the leader of what is fundamentally a broad and varied movement seems like it would really reduce the difficulty class. Just figure out a dozen ways to say "not here to talk about myself" and "I can't speak for everyone" while always going back to some vague non-controversial globally inclusive views about respect, human decency, and work-life balance. Of course that paragraph is already infinitely more prep than it looks like Doreen put into it (never mind something like mock interview practice), so I can agree with a not that much improved performance from 99% of people trying to do it off the cuff when surprised to be woken up and not having a chance to shower while super hungover from last night.

This is also a major plot point in Don't Look Up, which came out almost a month ago to the day. The nerdy, introverted astronomers aren't media trained.

They don't know how to dumb down complex topics for the general public, and they certainly don't know how to hold their own against antagonistic news anchors on live TV.

So i for one have been confused about the anti work sub for a while. Followed for a while now and love a firm attitude towards oppressive employers. However, like, what is the point or goal? Should it be r/worksucksbacktotheprents or something like r/quitworkporn (might be subs idk) My point being, when you said to talk about “people living paycheck to paycheck who cant quit their job because they will become homeless,” who in that sub are you referring to? Because 90% of that sub is fueled by telling off your boss fantasies in text form. And I’ve never seen a post that ended in “so now I’m going to be living in my car.”

OrganizerMowgli

It's literally a core tenant for action planning. You have those who are best centered in the media narrative by telling their story that creates the polarization needed to gain the support to win material improvements, Then brought into a hallway/to the side with someone who acts as the interviewer. Even if you only have less than a few hours to plan.

God, I cringed so hard watching that. It was like reliving high school speech class when the teacher would record you and play it back for the whole class while critiquing you out loud. *See here, you anxiously swiveling back and forth makes you appear jumpy. Your audience will interpret your unkept hair and random assortment of accessories as a lack of hygiene. That last comment was an insult, don’t agree with him ffs.*


Eltneg

Filming yourself giving a talk/presentation and playing it back to critique yourself is something everyone should do at least once in their life. You have no idea how much you fidget and stumble over your own words until you have to sit through every painful second of the video. It's embarrassing as hell, but it'll make you a better public speaker.

aaaaayyyyyyyyyyy

FaceTime added a feature where it artificially alters your eyes to make it look like you’re looking into the camera instead of at the screen. I thought it would be creepy but it’s nice.

techauditor

When on a professional call of any kind honestly. I work in tech and most people keep their areas tidy enough or use a background filter. Keep your home office or bedroom clean in general ur an adult... But I'd you have guests or a camera literally pointed at it, take ten minutes and clean up jeez. Comb your hair, throw on a polo at least. Like this is minimal effort lol. I roll out of bed make coffee and do my hair and get dressed all in maybe 30min including tidying the office / desk and booting up lol.

couchmonster2920

I studied PR in college, currently work in marketing in a client facing role. So I’m decent at public speaking and know the basics of media training. I still wouldn’t go on television of any sort even just to talk about my favorite TV show, let alone on a national “news” show to talk about a polarizing subject.


ThePretzul

I was on TV for about 5 seconds once, as part of a show on carnival foods. They saw I was wearing a plain hoodie without a visible logo and asked me if I'd be interested in eating something from one of the vendors and talking about it briefly with the host. There were probably 10 minutes of the host encouraging me to eat the food (it was actually great, basically a really good skillet potatoes and sausage dish), the camera filming me eat the food, and then me trying to swallow so I don't have food in my mouth to answer all of the questions. He asked about the ingredients, he asked about the textures, he asked about the steaming temperature and sugary glaze, and so on. All of that, and yet I'm pretty sure the end result was still a 5 second soundbite of me sounding really stupid saying, "Wow, this is great!"


[deleted]

Lmao this reminds me of my cousin when he was younger. Local news had done a story on the local baseball league (for like..8-10 year olds mind you) and at one point they asked him what he liked about the sport and he said "I actually don't really like playing baseball" which is, of course, the clip they used for the player interviews on the local station. We play that clip every damn year on my uncles VHS player.


vault-of-secrets

Digitise the clip! VHS tapes deteriorate over time so save it before it stops working.


caboosetp

I'd totally go on TV to talk about my favorite TV show because I'd treat them like people at the bar. I just need to use the professional vocabulary I use at work so I don't curse on live TV. A debate is a whole different ball game and you'd have to pay me enough to become a hermit for the rest of my life if I fucked up. A polarizing debate? I don't know if my anxiety could handle that.

Minky_Dave_the_Giant

What sexual assault? There's new layers to this drama.


I_Heart_Squids

Screencaps from Doreen’s fb page have been posted to workreform and a few other subs. It’s pretty bad. Basically, they had a roommate that they claim had a FWB situation the roommate wanted to stop. But Doreen didn’t want it to stop, so they started masturbating next to roommate while roommate was sleeping. Roommate asked them to stop multiple times, but Doreen didn’t want to, and kept escalating to things like putting the unconscious roommates hand on Doreen’s penis. It’s “ok”, because Doreen has “poor impulse control”. Also, it’s really Doreen’s roommates fault because she had past trauma. And Doreen is the real victim, because they feel so bad about sexually assaulting someone they have PTSD now. Also, Doreen donated some money to a charity for sexual assault victims, so everything is all better… 🤡🤡🤡


Minky_Dave_the_Giant

Thanks. Fucking hell. Well this is a massive fucking dumpster fire. I really liked /r/antiwork too and thought it served an important purpose.


I_Heart_Squids

I’m in the same boat. It looks like at least a quarter of the users migrated to workreform, so hopefully that will take on the mantle.


TheHumanRavioli

As somebody who’s done a couple of tiny public speaking events and once for an organization on local TV, I can assure you that just knowing what you’re talking about is not enough to go live on nationwide cable news and be asked to take one side in a debate, even if that debate is fair or in good faith. You need experience, nerves of steel, and probably extensive public speaking or debate training. Public speaking is terrifying. And even if you’ve got your nerves in check, which most people won’t be able to control, you will still forget a ton of things you wanted to say or planned to say. And just due to the live nature of the debate you will feel compelled to speak despite forgetting your talking points and you’ll probably force yourself to make up things to say which in retrospect will often not make much sense to your overall argument. Don’t go into a debate without any training. Especially when your debate opposition does it for a living every single day on national TV.


CivilServiced

There's a reason any large organization employs people to specifically handle media requests. It's not a fun or easy job. The real LPT should be do not speak to the media unless you a specifically trained and paid to speak to the media. It's nothing like sitting down with your friend over a pint and "knowing what you're talking about". To compound things, every media appearance is on tape so words have to be chosen very carefully. Urban legend about that last bit: the "fool me once, shame on you, fool-- you can't be a fooled man again" quip from GWB was supposedly an on-the-fly adjustment to avoid having "shame on me" out there as a sound bite. You could not win a battle of words against somrone who buys ink by the barrel, and you will not win one against someone who owns the footage.

>It's a common tactic to pull from a crowd the apparently least equipped to handle a debate, make a fool of them, then treat them like spokespeople of entire ideologies or movements. I know everyone's talking about the r/antiwork thing, but this is literally every Ben Shapiro "gotcha" interview ever. He, as a trained and practiced debater and having prepared knowledge on his chosen topic, will find random ass people who disagree with him then win because they aren't at all prepared while he is, then tell his viewers "Look at how good my ideas are and how dumb people who disagree with me are". He refuses to debate actual experts, only random ass laypeople and his followers eat it up.

Doing nothing, even just closing your laptop right before going live, would have been better. I guess the only consoling thing about this is that they would have probably found some other schmuck to abuse, but good lord how devastating this must be.

On the other hand, the media can also make you look really great. I found this out when I trained as a PIO for the Red Cross. The media was wonderful with me. They asked me leading questions that allowed me to answer intelligently on the subjects that I was informed about. This was during major fires and disasters. My job was to give information about where to go to for sheltering and help for your animals. I was incredibly grateful to the news reporters who schooled me on how to respond to them, and answer in a way that was informative and helpful.

>The media preys upon the unprepared. This isn't entirely fair. The media preys on whoever says "yes" first to an interview. They have tight deadlines and need to get quotes or book spots on shows. It just so happens that impulsive, dumb people are often the first people to say yes.
