Hi goyim! The game awards were very funny! But I’m going to ask you to do something that’s really difficult for gamers: use your brain for a fraction of a second.

That kid is an antisemite, and yall NEED to talk about that instead of just giggling about how silly Geoff Keighley is.

“I want to nominate my reformed orthodox rabbi bill clinton.”

This random kid was bold enough to stroll right on up to the mic and joke about bill clinton (yknow, the war criminal and pedophile) being a rabbi. In front of millions of people.

At a time where antisemitic hate crimes are on the rise

At a time when celebrities with more twitter followers than there are jewish people on the entire fucking planet

Do you think it’s really appropriate to call this kid a “legend” or whatever? I get it, the knee jerk reaction to this is to laugh about how insane it is that someone could just do that. But we can’t keep fucking letting nazis get away with their bullshit.

Adding on this, the kid was wearing Yeezys while giving his “dedication,” which given how Kanye has been for the past couple months is a pretty big dogwhistle in and of itself.

like 99% of “men and women are soooo different!!!” comedy is literally just describing the experience of not understanding other people. like it’s not that women never say what they mean talking to other people is just like that. it can be hard to understand what other people are thinking. bioessentialism really rots the brain

“women will say I’m fine and then not mean it” yeah that’s something literally everybody does. is this your first time interacting with another human being my guy

Often it’s specifically “people are weird in ways I only notice when I’m trying to date and/or sleep with them”

speaking as an autistic trans man, there’s more to it than that. social skills are taught in sexist ways. someone raised as a man and someone raised as a woman are likely to learn very different social skills.

depending on who raised you and when, you might actually have an entirely different set of culture norms from your opposite-ASAB peers. like, let’s take the “women will say they’re FINE and not actually MEAN IT” example:

a lot of men don’t get taught to check in on their friends’/loved ones’ emotional states unless there is Actually A Big Problem. they’re taught that other people’s emotions are None Of Their Business and that it’s rude to constantly worry about people.

meanwhile, a lot of women get taught that managing everyone’s emotions is Their Responsibility, that they HAVE to constantly make sure that the people around them are Okay, and that they HAVE to constantly project Being Okay so they don’t worry other people.

if a person raised AMAB asks a person raised AFAB “hey, are you okay?”, they are treating it as an expression of deep and genuine concern. but a person raised AFAB will not see it as deep concern; they’ll see it as a casual social interaction with a Correct Canned Answer that they must give to not be Rude.

the second person says “I’m fine”, as that is the correct canned answer. but the first person is not looking for a canned answer; they’re attempting to make a deep connection. They see the canned answer is a rejection of that connection and as a lie. So they are (needlessly!) hurt and confused. and the second person is also likely to wind up hurt and confused, because they were Being Polite and now they’re being treated like a lying liar who lies.

and this is where all the battle of the sexes bullshit comes from; everyone is acting in accordance with their culture, but no one is really equipped to understand that someone who is nominally from the same culture has an entirely different set of cultural norms. so you get this MEN/WOMEN ARE STRANGE AND UNKNOWABLE in the same way you get, idk, NOT-AMERICANS ARE STRANGE AND UNKNOWABLE from Americans. except tbh there’s added vitriol, because everyone expects people from a different culture to be strange (hell, they get mad if you aren’t sometimes!), but they expect people from their culture to be ~normal~.

there is a mismatch of expectations here beyond “yes, everyone says they’re fine and doesn’t mean it sometimes, women aren’t uniquely mysterious creatures” . it’s a culture clash.

barnyard the original party animals is the uncontested lord of bad implications in childrens movies

ok so like “the secret life of x” movies tend to not strongly explore the actual reasons why, exactly, their life has to be secret… they don’t really focus on it within the narrative. They do usually have some small justification for why animals or video games or toys or whatever have never just revealed themselves:

• There’s no stated reason. They just pretend to not be alive. We usually can suspend our suspension of disbelief here because when it’s something like a video game or an emoji because any odd occurrences is perceived as a glitch or something similar but the actual reason why they aren’t too hung up on this kinda shitty lot in life isn’t said
• They get something out of their current relationship with humans (like in toy story)
• They have some specific reason to hide that they’re alive, like they die if they’re seen (like in the christmas toy)
• They perceive themselves as sentient, talking creatures, but humans can’t understand them. They just see a squeaking mouse or an inanimate hot dog or whatever. 

and the last one is what most animal movies do, and it’s like, not devoid of weird implications but you can see where it mostly works.

but barnyard is the outlier here: it goes with tier one: the animals can talk and walk on two legs but just pretend that they can’t for unstated reasons. 

in the history of the barnyard world non human animals, at some point, decided to just pretend to be unable to speak. a “cow” or a “coyote” or a “hen” do not exist as we know it in the barnyard universe. the baa of the sheep is false; the ewe doesn’t understand it either. they only made up that noise to hide the fact that they speak human languages. a dog barking and running on all fours is a facade. animals naturally walk on their hind legs and made up whole postures just to appear non sentient.

and for what? what do they gain from this? they have no rights and no voice by their own choice. at one point a donkey claims the farmer is a good person because he’s vegan and a pig mentions bacon - this is not a fantasy universe devoid of death and misery and meat. do animals, in hushed whispers, remind their children not to sob in their real voice as they’re taken away? do the dogs not beg for kindness when they’re tied up and hit? do cows and chickens not cry for their life in the slaughterhouses? does a rat not scream a human scream when the trap misses their neck and only breaks their spine? Why? what is the point? They loose so much and have everything to gain.

anyways does everyone remember this really awful cat. it only appears in one scene but i can just sense the porn of it that would pop up if i googled it’s name

This post is like being tied to a chair as a a joker-style villain monologues and presses a gun closer and closer to my head as he reaches the climax of his rehearsed piece on the flaws of society and when he finally pulls the trigger it’s a little flag that says “bang!”
