i am an insensitive creep! but i just hate how we’ve become so soft and squishy as a society that we have to tiptoe around one another. [case in point:] why is it taboo to make racial jokes, if you’re not a racist? racial jokes (done right, and as opposed to racist jokes) poke fun at stereotypes. yet we don’t trust the unwashed masses to be able to GET IT. hell, i don’t either, but at least the ones who don’t will be nicely obvious, and then we can round them up and shoot them! anyway, i’m all for people making fun of me because i’m a lumbering hairy knuckledragging porky white partly-queer guy, as long as it ain’t just downright mean.
my rant yesterday was initially going to be about making fun of the stupid, and was going to be a lot meaner, but there’s not as much of a societal taboo against making fun of the stupid. just like with big folks, stupid comes in two flavors: not-my-fault stupid, and I’d-rather-drink-than-read-a-book stupid.
people just need to be put in their place sometimes. ESPECIALLY the ones who don’t do a damn thing to help or to better themselves.
(and that’s another thing: i should have pointed out that large people who are trying are utterly exempted from my rant, because god damn it, they’re doing more to better the world than the others, and should be commended rather than put down. they are heroic, rather than fat-assed. that was a fatal error on my part. anyone who is actively bettering themselves is also, by default, actively bettering the world. and thassa fack, jack.)
anyway, feel free to make fun of me in the most humiliating way possible, because insensitive jerks need to be put in their place, too.
