Olympics redux
So, I am annoyed by two things at the moment. One of them I touched on yesterday in a post, but I didn't have time to elaborate and people didn't seem to understand, so I will explain my "racism" comment. It is at best laughable that an image-obsessed nation of ugly fatties (such as myself) is crying foul because China admitted to using a lip synching cute little girl instead of the actual singer. As if Americans would have gone ga-ga over some ugly ragamuffin with a good voice. Had this happened in the US, we wouldn't have even found out about it for fifteen years. And don't even get me started on the "Chinese gymnasts look young, so they must all be underage and China must be cheating" thing. These two are hardly the only bits of crazy racist bullshit regarding the olympic coverage, but they're getting a lot more attention, and...yeah.
Next, we have the meme issue. The meme is bothersome, but the fact that so many people are taking this chance to say we're all bad people and furries are nothing but giant whores with no morals, no life, no maturity, etc., is what is really driving me up the wall.
Casey/Tailsy put it much better than I can in his entry, in which he said in part, 'I don't think that this meme is a solicitation for sex, so let's clear that up, but even if it were, responsible adults can and do often have many sexual partners in a responsible way, and even if you don't, the responsible thing to do is to let people live their own lives.'Life is good, but I don't want to talk about it right now. Now, I have to get to work.
