If you use the word "jakey" to refer to a woman's boyfriend, all bisexual and pansexual women have the right to kill you btw

okay so very few ppl on here will care abt this.

i like pro wrestling but rly only follow it from a "historical" point of view? like it's culture and horrors and evolution and all the lil details are fascinating. i still watch classic matches sometimes idk. but mostly interviews and clips n podcasts and yeah. tho i loved it as a kid durring monday night wars etc? it's weird its sorta repeating now tho. ANYWAYS...

so i love wrestling history. and i love wrestling announcers. interviewers. and managers. classic ones like gorilla monsoon, mean gene, jim ross, some talent/announcers like macho or jessie? but the heels (bad guys) were my fav. bobby the brain. sensational sherri. and the legendary jim cornette.

some ppl will know where this is going.

i love jim. jim... is an amazing heel. but in like classic wrestling? u also gotta know it's a business that thrives on trying to get it's fans emotionally invested. to make them care. how do u get ppl to sustain disbelief and want one person to beat up another? you make them angry.

you offend them. that's what you did. that's what you DID.

and jim loves classic wrestling so so much. and he hates that we all cant go back to when a lot of fans believed it was real. warts and all (to me it sounded horrifying but i guess it was exciting so).

but jim is very aware it prob cant go back. and he's old. he's trying to be retired in a way. but he still loves wrestling? so he does podcasting mostly now. and announcing. etc.

the thing is? like... it's very common in wrestling for the best talent to actually blur the lines between their character and their real personality. and jim is exactly that. jim "cuts heel promos" probably every day of his life. and even now on his podcast, he is a heel.

as someone who has watched most of the popular promotions, or at least was aware of them, from 1984-now? this is exactly a heel. jim is being jim.

but that... includes being very heel-ish about his ideas (that he def believes in tbh). and not apologizing. even when you should. like i can tell jim is less black and white with his feelings than he lets on? but for him, podcasting and interviews and social networks and ESPECIALLY announcing? is on the clock. he. is. a heel.

but that's why it sucks. because even when he says outrageous backwards stuff? even if i can be like "omg you stupid old man", i also know he's playing it up. and i get what he's trying to say?

but not this time.

i'm pissed. like idk. i guess it was gradual? i listen to his podcast constantly. its fun. he's angry. says many good things. a few awful. i say "you idiot". and then he and brian last talk about classic wrestling memories and it's AMAZING. i love it so much.

but idk like... idk. recently he made an old (a joke he's been telling since the 80s as a heel) racist joke like "this dude is so tough you could strap a bucket of fried chicken to him and have him bike through ethiopia". yeah. really obviously super racist. he got fired for it. because he told it on a wrestling show like NOW like in 2019. racism was sadly "acceptable" in the 80s. it was common even in the 2000s in wrestling?

but this is 2019? and jim. being jim. is a heel. and DENYING it's racist. he's saying "it's a STARVATION joke!!!" bc he is a heel. bc he knows it's racist but he must heel. even on his podcast where he's "totally honest" etc. but god podcasts and radio shows are just as fake as wrestling? and jim is lying.

but unlike wrestling?? people BELIEVE jim. bc in some ways, it's hard for even ME to tell when he's lying or not. bc it WORKS. and that's the issue. jim is making all this money? bc he found a way to be a good heel in a format that still believes he's real. and YES he DOES act like that irl too? but jim capitalizes on that and plays it up.

and that's the issue. because naive people. hang on his every word. and you look in the comment section? and it's ALLLLLL just "lol sjws" and "i love starvin marvin south park" and "haha racism funny". these people are being turned more racist. because jim wants to make people angry. it's no different than like alex jones. it's funny for us out of context, fine? but it's actually creating hate-mongering.

i may not stop listening to jim, and i'll always consider him a legend. but oh geez? even as a heel podcaster (and i really hope he isn't stupid enough to think his argument is right)? jim is REALLY pissing off anyone with a brain. me included.

a few extra jokes isn't worth the cost of ACTUAL RACISM, dude. even for a legend.

Intro; episode 1 and two

Ok ok new blog: I am a 24 year old white girl in Africa! I live by the ocean and work for an NGO. I have lived here for 1.5 years. I am an expat. I didn't really come from an economic background where you do that, I was raised by an angry babysitter and a tv and union organizing conference day care. The tv: I don't think it made me dumber. Maybe not smarter either. I watched violent stuff. Dragon Ball Z, XMen. I'm gonna rewatch dragon ball z in Madagascar in a stream of consciousness style. I'll talk about other things too, and I may always be high. I love you, let's ride. Episode one: Oh yeah I forgot about dragon ball, the series before. cyclone night. Woman day tomorrow. Not tired, Michael (best friend, neighbour, failed love interest 4 records) in field fixing the solar panels Ok you can't just ask a tiger where you got a hat!! Goku is a bad parent! No punishment! "Such a lesser power" why fight if it's already mathematically determined who wins A double Sunday????? His attack move was called that. It's over 9000 vibes! He said over something else though. Green guy is so mad. Wait the kid is an evil sleeper cell? Kakurat Omg who is even who the preview, at the end was confusing. Vlc played the counting crows after. Am out of love??

I feel like one of those instagram girls on a beach who do yoga I hope I write down all that self righteousness about relief work. No I didn't but disaster drooling over TV Enawo makes me never want to work in relief. The system allows for disasters to go on because they're profitable. Equity is not. Sad. xoxoZ
