Moms Against The Media

I can't even. 

OK, I get that this is 'Murica, land where you can usually say whatever stupid shit you want. One thing that really capsizes my cunt is when groups go on uninformed crusades - sort of like Moms Against the Media.

You know, those people that tried to cancel a show because it had LGBT tones. The people that boycotted Ellen Degeneres as the JC Penny spokesperson.

Those twats. Oh no, swears!

Listen. I don't care for kids. They usually like me, but I think it's because I don't bullshit them and act like that cool big sister that lets them play Cards Against Humanity and 'viddya games'.

Still, I don't think the little crotch spawns deserve to have their mothers go embarrassing them by being against any form of expression they don't agree with. Homosexuality has existed probably longer the original term for mother has. It's a thing that happens. It's a thing that people are now unafraid (mostly) to come out and admit.

Your kids, whether you like it or not, are going to go out into the world someday. They're going to be hit in the face with reality. They're going to have to learn to form their own opinions and how to be a human being. Filling their heads with bias, stunting their exposure and trying to make them feel guilty constantly is a really good way to make that process even more horrible.

Sure, you can go off on tangents, rant, bitch, sit at home trying to repress your own feelings and feel dirty if you want. You can cower from the old guy upstairs who apparently thinks we're all awful unless we follow his exact orders. I don't get that, by the way. If a leader killed most of the world, taunted people into almost killing their kids and pretty much brought down constant wrath to those that didn't obey, wouldn't we call him a tyrant? I find it hard to believe that that is benevolence. But, whatever, religious ranting aside.

What really gets me is think of how much good these groups could do. Think of how much we would get done if we stopped worrying about shit we can't control. These same moms could be organizing food drives for poor students or educating their children about this incredible rock that we live on.

But no. Media is the devil.
