can confirm, am your prostate, gunning for you

 

"I love the unironic use of the word “commie” as an insult. It is so painfully dated that it is nothing short of hilarious.

I imagine the person who says this comes home after a long day of hating minorities for existing, and then takes off a heavily starched button up shirt which reveals an undershirt named after the activity they are most fond of. After getting a few punches in, they demand a “stogie”, and a “brewski”, to whet their appetite for the dry ass roast their wife slaved away at making all day. Of course, they will make some comment about how the roast reminds them of how much they hate minorities, and that the wife would do well to stop watching some show/reading some book/talking to some neighbor and focus on making dry ass pieces of meat taste wetter. The kids stare at their plates and ask to be excused.

To wrap up their evening, they might teach their sons about being a proper womanizer, usually with some vague comment like “you need to fuck some girls, Johnny. I’m not raising a p*ssy. And they might teach their daughters about sexual repression, maybe with a vague comment like “and you better not fuck anyone, ever” (but probably would only convey that through a look and not actual words).

Knowing all is right in the world, they fall asleep, eagerly dreaming about the next chance they might get to shoot some “dirty hippies” when their national guard unit gets called in to an anti war protest on a college campus."

I wrote it. First draft.

Obviously, I'm depicting a cishet middle aged white man living in the suburbs in 1950's America. I feel like it needs more period specific phrases, like "stogie" but to describe other things like 'anti-war protest' or something.

Thoughts? Improvements? Notice of plagiarism?

 

Like every time I read the comments for any movie/show that features anything other than a white dude as the lead, everyone is like "tHe w0Ke cRoWd WiLL LoVE ThIs!!1!"

It's especially bad for anything Disney, which according to them, is a communist factory for LGBTQIA+ PEDO GROOMING or some other conspiracy nonsense. Granted, Disney is fully deserving of scathing criticism, but for different reasons.

Has anyone else noticed this? It's just weird to me because I view torrenting as a very anti-capitalist activity, but that seems to be lost on them?

Every time a writer does this it's like the biggest tell - you can see the moment where they realized they were describing the antagonist trying to change the world to the way things should be but then had to catch themselves and say "shit! We can't show that! make bad guy blow up a hospital or something!"

Another example being the...lol..."Flag Smashers" from Falcon and WS. They were trying to give medicine and food to starving people, but because that's cool and good, they had the main character literally bomb a hospital and say "that's how you get through to these people" like ok disney we get it you hate the poors

but even that's not a fair comparison, because sad grandpa is not self reflective. he's just a fucking prick.

It would be super cool if you would temporarily suspend my account for one week, in successive intervals for each wrongthink upvote, so that my account is essentially bricked for an entire month. CENSOR ME HARDER DADDY
