Have you guys missed my full-blown rants? Hope so, 'cause here goes.
I was cleaning through my room and figured I'd let some old show run in the background and settled on Gilmore Girls, a favorite of mine. Since my watch online thingy wasn't working, I looked the show up on YouTube wondering if I might find some episodes like that.
Well, I didn't, but I found this instead.
It's a series called Pre-Woke Watching....yes, I know, but judging from the title, you couldn't really guess it would be about some PC liberal bullshit. I mean, there are bits where I cringe, like Rory's adoration for Hilary Clinton and I figured, hey well, maybe it's more like that. But it's not. It's a 3 minute video that repeats the phrase "acknowledging privilege" some 50 times.
And while it is true that the characters in the show aren't really struggling financially and that they seem to be living on some imaginary budget that never seems to dry up...that's true of most shows. That's the psychology behind shows like Gilmore Girls and all the other cutesy family series and films out there. None of them struggle financially because that's not something most viewers would aspire to.
No show in the same genre as GG is about the real hardships of life, it's just some melodrama about love and friendship and betrayal. That's the fucking basis of the show, you idiot.
Oh my God, Gilmore Girls is so privileged!
Not to mention white...I mean seriously, apart from the Korean best friend and the black dude who has some witty exchanges with the main character, it's painfully white. So it's basically a show about some rich white bitches, yeah?
Most shows from that era are. Or maybe they're just shows meant to entertain? Remember that old concept, entertainment? Just for laughs? Ring a bell?
I didn't think so.
While I'm not surprised this exists, I'm still irritated at the sheer stupidity of such avideo. But what do you expect from a channel that boasts videos like:
As a Black Gay Kid, I saw my first role model in...
A Muslim Marine is Venturing into Trump Country
Some shit about a Drag Queen and my all time favorite,
In memoriam of Ariana Grande's ponytail
Now, who the fuck is Ariana Grande and why am I supposed to give a shit about her pony tail?
