A Business of Ferrets: The Comic

Nah, its honestly the vigilante justice/lynch mob mentality that the social justice warriors have. 

I don’t disagree with the vast majority of their messages or viewpoints they have. And I think their ultimate goal or vision is a correct one. However, I hate the way they deliver and carry out their message. They act like a pack of wild dogs who end up displaying the very behavior that they claim to dislike. 

They become the assholes.
They become the bullies. 
They become the source of negativity.

Just because your intentions and goals are good doesn’t mean you should use foul ass childish tactics to get there and alienate a shit ton of people. Its counter productive and mostly serves to create enemies and create more roadblocks than you had to begin with. 

Tumblr created an environment where if you have any kind of social disadvantage you can be a total asshole to other people who don’t share that disadvantage. Fat people can be rude as fuck to skinny people for no reason. Black people can be rude as fuck to white people for no reason. Poor people can be rude as fuck to people with money for no reason. Gay people can be rude as fuck to straight people for no reason. 

I know the typical reaction to that is “something like well [your group] has oppressed [my group] for centuries, so I can say what I want!!!”. But I’m looking at it on the individual level. This random person on the internet didn’t do shit to you even though they are a member of a group you have problems with. Try being a decent person. 

So if you’re a fat black disabled lesbian you can pretty much get on Tumblr and be like, “All able bodied straight white people should die” and you get 70,000 notes and everything is all good. 

That’s wack to me. 

Its like a huge race to claim as many disadvantages as you can so you can use them to lash out at other people and be a jerk on the internet. 

And they created this false perception that they’re somehow doing the world a greater good when they decide to shit on someone for being ~problematic~

Its basically become “my gang is bigger than your gang”.

The moment you say the work of one is more important than the other you are heading in the wrong direction.

My role model is Daniel Avidan

I’ll let the following images and quotes speak for my reasoning

“Swiggity swooty, I’m comin’ for dat booty.”

“That dude swam the English channel when he was 90? Shit. I’m like a third of that age and I get winded when I open the fridge too fast.”

“I swear to God.. If I ask for Oreos and you bring me back Hydrox, There will be a bullet in your neck by the end of the day.”

“I would be the Star-Spangled Banger if I ever went into porn.”

“Very rarely will negative comments (on anything I do) get to me, because who cares? My grandma loves me.”

“If you do that shit everyday, you are a writer. Don’t be afraid to call yourself an artist.”

“As important it is to tell people you love that you love them, it’s important to say ‘fuck you’ to those that you hate. Don’t hold that shit in.”

“The stuff that makes you laugh in the moment can sometimes make you cry, like out of nostalgia. The stuff that makes you cry in the moment always makes you laugh, cause you’re like ‘I was so fucking stupid!’”

“It’s so easy to compare yourself to people who have been working at something for years and years and be like “I’ll never get there!” But you just start doing it an you get there because, fuck it man. The years are gonna go by either way, so you might as well just do what you wanna do.”

“Don’t make fame your goal. Make your goal doing what you do to the best of your ability, and that’s something no one can take away from you.”

“It’s like building a house. First you have to lay a brick on the ground…then another brick next to it…then another. Then you look over at your neighbor’s yard, and he’s putting the finishing touches on his mansion. How do you not look down at your three bricks and feel hopeless? You really have to remind yourself that five years ago, he started out just like you did. He succeeded because he concentrated on his goals and consistently kept his eyes on the next step. You have to do the same. Slow hard work is the only way to create something meaningful.”

“Don’t worry about fame, don’t worry about popularity, none of that matters in the beginning. All that matters is making something good, and the rest comes naturally.”

“Don’t be scared to go to therapy. Don’t think of it as a sign of weakness to ask for help when you’re sad. ‘Cause there are people out there who want to help you and are qualified to help you.”

“I’m Just so happy now like all the fucking time! Because I know what it’s like to be sad.”
