Hey what’s up internet people, out there in internet land? I sang that in my head, I don’t know if you could hear, but it’d be pretty cool if you could. But once again it is Thursday morning here on the West Coast, so we are late as usual. But in any case it’s time for me to post a blog for the week. So what am I gonna write about this week. Well, I wasn’t really sure so I just dug up some old, smelly shit to try to polish.
This old smelly shit is Pepe LePew. I know I just wrote about him 2 weeks ago, but since then I’ve learned that there was supposed to be a scene in the new Space Jam movie where the other characters teach Pepe about consent. That’s nice. It’s too bad the kids won’t get to see it now.. Might have even prevented a rape in the future. They certainly aren’t preventing any by taking him out. I can almost guarantee you that nobody has ever been raped because of Pepe LePew. Because he’s not some icon of rape culture. He’s a mockery of it.
I try to tell the “Left” that they’re going too far with this shit, and they just look at me like I’m crazy. A lot of people don’t seem to understand the purpose of characters these days. They’re not all meant to be a good example. But the real irony here is that the people who make the final call on shit like this are usually these high poweredl executive types who probably rape their secretaries. Those people are freaking out ever since Epstien didn’t kill himself. Now these people are freaking out going “Fuck! They’re catching on to us!. Take the rape skunk out of that movie and let people argue about that!? This isn’t the “cultural revolution” people seem to think it is. In the end these decisions get made by a bunch of wealthy, powerful creeps.
But, people don’t want to think about that. A lot of people don’t really want to solve problems. They just don’t want to have to deal with them. I’m actually shocked sometimes to see how little empathy people have for the homeless. Especially lower working class people, like me. People who might just be a paycheck or two away from homelessness themselves. But they don’t want to think about that. They don’t want to believe that it could be them. There were a lot more people back in 2008 that thought they could never be homeless. They’re homeless now. And now a lot more people are homeless and about to become homeless. But a lot of them don’t want to admit that. So they make up stories about why they’re better. “I sell my labor to a billionaire who makes more in a day than I’ll ever see in my life. I don’t do drugs. I just drink beer and smoke pot and play video games all day. I’m going places.” Well, I don’t know where you’re going bro, but it doesn’t sound like anywhere good. So maybe slam the brakes on the judgement. Then take a hard left into bat country yelling “Fuck it!” Before It Fucks You.
