I knew this blew up on tiktok but I had no idea it’d made its way over here lmao. It’s kind of a full circle moment, because the reason I made those other two videos was because of this video I made singing a tumblr post to the tune of Jolene and Hallelujah, and the rest is history.
Glad to know this silly thing I did ~2 years ago is still being enjoyed, long live Jolene/Hallelujah ✌🏼
lesbianism is about biting and kicking and hitting jocks with your car and cheerleaders and milkshakes and lying about juvie and deception and girlosers and girllovers and that’s why I’m nominating bottoms for movie of the year
Seeing the notes on posts about the Burning Man Debacle™ and for fucks sake I am taking the phrase 'eat the rich' away from y'all until you can CORRECTLY IDENTIFY the rich
Rich is 'arrived by way of their private jet', is 'dropped $500k on a submarine ticket', is '$500 is a rounding error'.
'$500 dollars for a nine day event they must all be rich white people' no you reactionary rotten potato that is actually an entirely reasonable price for an entirely normal person to pay for an annual event! $500 over the course of a year is approximately equivalent to one big takeout a month! Being able to afford that doesn't make you rich it makes you probably not poor! The 'rich or poor' narrative is a false dichotomy that completely excludes the fact that 'richness' or 'poorness' is a SCALE! It's not fucking categorical! You don't one day magically flip a switch and go from 'poor' to 'rich' or vice versa you see incremental changes over time! Wealth distribution is a (these days, admittedly, rather wonky) motherfucking BELL CURVE! . The fact that capitalism is driving more and more people to either extreme of said curve is just evidence of a broken system, but it doesn't change the fact that most people should have a decent amount of disposable income!
The fact that many people don't have said disposable income doesn't magically make the ones that do 'rich' it makes everyone else poor. And the people at fault for the massive and growing percentage of people living below the poverty line are not the ones managing to stay above it, it's the fault of the actually rich, the ones stealing our time and our health and our wages and our future in pursuit of a number on a screen. And the rich are the only people you're helping by hating the people struggling slightly less than you.
When it comes time to 'eat the rich' you're going to be murdering dentists and librarians and scientists while the actually rich point and laugh from a safe distance as you solve their problems for them.
The thing is I DO consider men who hate the Barbie movie and think it was unfair to men a red flag, because Ken is treated SO sympathetically even though what he does is pretty damn bad. His hurt feelings are validated, his self-worth and healing are encouraged, he's basically immediately forgiven, and Barbie even apologizes for neglecting him and taking him for granted.
And I gotta wonder if what the manosphere really doesn't like is that Ken doesn't get what he originally wanted in the end. Ken's story isn't resolved by Barbie realizing that actually, she's been in love with him all along. She hasn't been, and she doesn't change her mind.
Instead, Ken's story is resolved by realizing that he isn't defined by how Barbie feels about him, and that he is enough (or "Kenough") on his own. He gets forgiveness, support, and validation, but he does NOT get the girl in the end. The girl has her own, separate journey and resolution that has nothing to do with him. And that's GOOD.
But it isn't surprising at all to me that it didn't go over well with a crowd that defines themselves almost entirely by their ability--or lack thereof--to possess and control women.
