Mostly it just provides some obnoxious background music while she proceeds to cry about being bullied for telling a fart joke (and by “fart joke” that she means asking for ass pics from an 8th grader and sending him her underwear, as well as having a nine year-old reach into her pants during a skit in one of her shows) a few years ago.
I didn’t think anyone could top Sienna Mae’s interpretive dance video to the lyrics “I did nothing wrong, I’m young” in response to sexually assaulting a drunk, passed-out male friend, but somehow Colleen really knocked it out of the park.
no joke, someone on tik tok was trying to say that medusa being r*ped was a greek mythology story, and i corrected them by informing them that it is actually a roman myth because ovid, a roman poet created it. and they go “ metamorphoses actually made it, and he’s a greek poet.” dude, metamorphoses is ovid’s latin poem, metamorphoses isn’t a person, it’s a piece of text that OVID wrote.
I lost count of how many times I had to explain “Priestess Medusa” doesn’t exist in Greek Mythology or even Roman Mythology. Some people got angry with me for that.
Yes! And you tell them she was born a gorgon and they get so angry, it’s kinda terrible to see them get so pissy and so angry that they draw pieces where perseus was killed instead of her. perseus was a child when he killed medusa, and second medusa was a monster who had already killed a good amount so he’s not the enemy there
Every time I see that stupid fucking sculpture of “Medusa” carrying the head of Perseus with that sculptor smugly standing next to it like she did something absolutely mind-blowing I lose ten years off my life. Sometimes women in Greek mythology were BAD. Sometimes they were ALREADY MONSTERS.
PLEASE stop trying to jam shitty, contemporary feminist pop culture readings onto ancient mythology just so you can feel better for whatever reason
Incidentally, this is a great example of why it is absolutely vital to defend human rights in all cases; the instant people work out which categories are publicly viewed as indefensible, they start figuring out how to fold other types of undesirables into those category.
Eg. Pornography criminalized? Great, information about birth control, sexual education, and writing by feminists and LGBTQ people are all pornography now.
Terrorism? Literally all activists are terrorists if you put a good enough spin on it! Easy.
And, of course, “sex offenders” includes teenagers who take nude selfies, sex workers of basically all kinds, LGB people in jurisdictions that criminalize gay sex, often trans people in ones that criminalize crossdressing…
“The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one’s time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.”
I am unironically a scoundrels’ rights activist
Even if I cannot convince you to support universal rights as a philosophical ideal, it’s still pragmatically necessary to defend all rights to be able to defend any rights.
“Punch A Nazi” sounds all well and good until the people doing the punching start calling everyone Nazis.
