"The women of Bikini Kill let guitarist Billy Karren be in their feminist punk band, but only if he's willing to just "do some shit." Being a feminist dude is like that. We may ask you to "do some shit" for the band, but you don't get to be Kathleen Hannah."--@heatherurehere

Killing Hookers is Funny!

From A Softer World:


First of all, ASW loses points right away for trying way too hard to be 'edgy' or something, here. So the humor is supposed to be that the kid is a violent racist? Aside from that being not-so-funny, it's not worrisome that a kid might enjoy killing hookers in the video game, because they're not, y'know, human beings--instead, they're women, and sluts on top of it. On the other hand, "blacks" (ack) are human, so it's ...funny?

I like how good you are at reading the subtle nuances of that piece of filth, but have you looked around that site much? They REALLY hate women. Check out THIS:

Wow. Thanks for pointing that out. I read a few more of his diary entries and it's not hard to find more...what shall I call it?--"hipster misogyny" perhaps?

Way late, I know, but I started reading from a more recent post. :)

I read this as it not being worrisome when someone kills in a video game, regardless of gender or race. It's worrisome when someone actually looks to kill another human in real life.

You're welcome to your interpretation, of course, ibsulon, but if it were intended that way, why "...looking for blacks..."? Why not "...looking for people to kill..."
