Me when I fall yet again for another edgelord movie claiming to be a clever take-down of something

Alan Partridge has a tantrum, wailing "STOP GETTING SATIRE WRONG!"

It's possible to satirise aspects of the left and to do it well, and I will always give credit where it is due! Case in point: Ari Aster's EDDINGTON is basically what the makers of THE HUNT think they were doing

I try to keep a level head about a lot of things, but if there's one thing that gets me every time, it's when people do satire wrong It's not even a matter of taste, or because they're saying something I disagree with. I just really need the satire to actually do what they say it does

Kav "Somebody Who Will Fight Back Against the Fart Left" P 🍉 @kavp.net · 8h

Like, I cannot emphasise enough that multiple people worked on that movie, over the period of several years. There were *so many* opportunities for like, one person to just say "hey, if we're doing a satire on something, should we maybe not start by learning what it is we're actually satirising?"

God, you remember that movie THE HUNT? The one that claimed to be a clever satire about the divide between the left and the right in the US, but which was actually just "rich MAGA vs. working-class MAGA"? Yeah, that sure was a movie that happened without anyone ever reading a book

I know that conspiracy theories are soooo funny and all, but one reason why I take their existence very seriously is b/c in many cases they are also incredibly racist, including when they insist that brown people couldn't possibly be good enough to have made things of wonder and intrigue themselves

And even then, the idea that b/c a group of friends trusts you enough with a historically abusive word, you are then able to use it in the same way in literally any other context, is laughable. And if you're "one of the good ones", you'll know this intrinsically. If you don't, well, hello lawsuit

Kav "Somebody Who Will Fight Back Against the Fart Left" P 🍉 @kavp.net · 28/09/2026

Because yes, context does indeed matter. Not being Black *is* a context. No matter how respectfully you say it, unless in the company of Black friends who as a group have explicitly said that they would prefer you to use it with them as an act of rapport, this word is not yours to use.

Kav "Somebody Who Will Fight Back Against the Fart Left" P 🍉 @kavp.net · 28/09/2026

So, like, which is it? Are white employees uncomfortable about some Black people choosing to reclaim a word used to hurt them for their own purposes, or are white lawyers claiming that because some Black people use it differently, everyone can use it in the same way with the same effect?

281

Kav "Somebody Who Will Fight Back Against the Fart Left" P 🍉 @kavp.net · 28/09/2026

Odd - the byline implies the lawsuit is about Black employees using the N-word, but when you read the article there's no mention of this. The article describes the lawsuit as being about the racialised environment faced by Black employees, with Tesla's lawyer using Black use of the word as a defense

To be fair, this is largely because the MIDSOMMAR video can't be monetised due to two tiny snippets of songs in it, one of which is an atmospheric track within the film itself, but given how unlikely it is NOT to get a copyright claim on videos exploring pop culture, my point still stands

To be able to foster an environment where people feel empowered to override the typical calibre of YouTube comments and instead use the space to learn from each other, is so incredible to me. It almost makes having to navigate a toxic platform like YouTube to reach people genuinely worthwhile ❤️😭

For so long I've been feeling so disillusioned with content platforms' complete disdain of nuance & genuine discussion of important concepts. I don't think things will change any time soon, but I would love for my channel to be one space where people can still talk to each other & think critically

I'm not used to my videos continuing to have traction after a few weeks, but I have continued to get a really lovely trickle of comments on the MIDSOMMAR video almost a month later. People are still reflecting, still connecting it with their own lives, still adding nuance. I couldn't be happier!

This honestly echoes my experience on YouTube (the MIDSOMMAR video is an exception to the general rule), Twitch and Twitter as well. So many online spaces designed for content are so ironically anti-creator now, and yet we're often kind of stuck there anyway.

Fortunately I've not experienced this in Melbourne (literally masked up right now) but I wonder where this ridiculous stigma comes from. Do we think it's antisocial? Does it feel like an moral judgement against us? Masking hasn't been a phenomenon in the West for long - how did this prejudice form?
