In my senior year of high school I started dating a guy, lets call him John. At first John seemed very nice. He was shy and sensitive and not at all like the other jocks on the football team. After two months of dating he showed himself to be quite the ass though when right after we had sex he dumped me. I was hurt, but decided I was better off without him.
south park set american culture back by like ten years by teaching a generation of white boys that offending oppressive white christians and offending oppressed minorities is the same exact thing & being asked to examine your behavior is the most outrageous imposition possible
A better scholar than I could probably draw a plausible line from South Park (and Family Guy), through 4chan and internet shock culture, to the Alt-right. And they probably have, but I can’t find the links right now.
David Foster Wallace had a great essay about this very thing. The entire thing is worth a read, but here’s an excerpt:
“And make no mistake: irony tyrannizes us. The reason why our pervasive cultural irony is at once so powerful and so unsatisfying is that an ironist is impossible to pin down. All irony is a variation on a sort of existential poker-face. All U.S. irony is based on an implicit “I don’t really mean what I say.” So what does irony as a cultural norm mean to say? That it’s impossible to mean what you say? That maybe it’s too bad it’s impossible, but wake up and smell the coffee already? Most likely, I think, today’s irony ends up saying: “How very banal to ask what I mean.” Anyone with the heretical gall to ask an ironist what he actually stands for ends up looking like a hysteric or a prig. And herein lies the oppressiveness of institutionalized irony, the too-successful rebel: the ability to interdict the question without attending to its content is tyranny. It is the new junta, using the very tool that exposed its enemy to insulate itself.”
Five years ago, Lindsay Lohan trying to kidnap a child in Instagram live and then getting punched in the face by the mother would have at least made for some memes or a late night talk show segment, but we have sunk so deep into a hell beyond parody that it’s not even going to register.
I can answer this! So, Bella has all the eggs she ever has sitting right there, but Edward’s balls theoretically clear out on a regular basis (probably would be once a day given their blue balled abstinence) and the Renesmee sperm would not have shown up until late in the game (by which point Edward and Jacob got along much better). I say theoretically because I’m of the Anne Rice school that vampires cannot get boners or ejaculate because they are dead and don’t have pulses. You cannot get a boner without blood flow.
This is why i really can’t stand some blk men. They ok standing up for Collin Keapernick Lebron James and others but when a blk wm needs their backing they do as Stephen A Smith does. Serena was not wrong n defending her character her work ethic r her honor. So many pll r missing the pt why she was anger. It wasn’t abt Naomi winning r playing it was that this umpire attacked who she is who she prides herself n being The hard work she puts n training. Blk men continue to show why they will never b the leaders of our blk communities cause they would have to defend the blk wm and many continue to show they r not up for it
I knew his coon ass would say something stupid AF. He’s been canceled for me.
Nah. This is Steve A. Smith. He doesn’t defend Black men either. Working theory: too much cognitive dissonance will burn away your hairline (cf. Steven Miller, the Jewish White Supremacist)
