If anyone survives this century, we’re not going to be called the new Elizabethans and this won’t be the Digital Age. This will be the Age of the Idiots.
Been listening to Matt Winning’s Hot Mess ahead of his upcoming appearance on the RHLSTP book club. Unbelievable how dumb we’re all being about climate change and how long it’s taken and is taking for any kind of action. We can’t even say we didn’t know. We knew. We still didn’t do anything about it. I’d say sorry to the people of the future here, but the ragbag of survivors aren’t going to have the ability to access anything digital. Which I guess is lucky. They might not find out that we knew what we were doing but couldn’t be bothered to change. I just hope I am around on the day that money loses meaning and all the billionaires who are perpetuating this stuff to make even more money get their heads ripped off by angry mobs.
On the Twitch channel we have loads of emotes, which are little pictures of things that pertain to the broadcasts, like snooker balls, stones and some of the puppets. I don’t exactly know how it works, but you get them if you subscribe or something and then you can put them up in the chat room. Nice for the kids. And the middle aged men who watch my stuff.
They have been available for a couple of years, but today I got an email telling me that one of them was being taken off, as it was Disallowed Content. Imagery of sexual content or nudity. Ie “Gasm” style emotes which contain sexualised torsos or bodily fluids.
What the Hell?
It was a picture of the head of Cocky Carrot. Now admittedly Cocky Carrot is based on a carrot that looked like a massive penis, but Cocky Carrot is a carrot. He’s orange and the emote has a little bit of the stalk of the carrot sticking out of its head. Also it has eyes. Unless you’re an Oompa Loompah with a very bad sexually transmitted disease then it doesn’t look anything like your penis.
A carrot is just a natural thing. You can’t censor nature. You may say that a penis shaped carrot isn’t natural, but you’re wrong, because Cocky Carrot came about (did somebody say came about?) because a real penis-shaped carrot appeared in the Sun. You might say, did that carrot have eyes. And I’d say, fuck off. Stop splitting hairs.
But there you go. Censored. Poor old Cocky Carrot. Did somebody say “Gasm” style emotes.
What are Gasm style emotes? I don’t think I want to know.
