"Go Woke, Go Broke": A Tell-tale Stories of Companies Crashing Down

 (Warning: Strong languages ahead)

 

            To start this piece, let's remember the story of King Midas, who is said to possessed "The Golden Touch" in a literal sense, capable of turning everything he touched into gold, as per his wishes as told by the Greek Mythology. His ability is viewed as both a blessing and a curse, as the Golden King himself turns everything into gold just with a mere touch of his fingers, including his own daughter. He said to have died of starvation due to his supposed gift. But imagine now those same exact powers, but minus the "gift" aspect, only a full-blown curse, then you get the woke culture, modern feminism, and the "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" Mantra. 

 

            We all see in recent times when big corporations trying to expand to include these "woke" groups who claim themselves to be "marginalized" but in reality, these people are the most privileged out of all American class. First of all, we're starting from the main catalyst that kick-started this hot mess, the situation between the beer brand Bud Light and a supposed "trans influencer" and female appropriator Dylan Mulvaney. We all know what transpires this disaster, and it all began when Mulvaney threw a party to celebrate his 365 "days of girlhood". Something that he came up with after he realized that being a "non-binary" is not enough for him to gain a massive following. Hell, an esteemed actress like Drew Barrymore even knelt before the jackass. Moving on, after that event, Mulvaney started to get various endorsement deals, one of them was from the Anheuser-Busch beer company, which is the parent company of several well-known American beer brands like Budweiser, and of course Bud Light. 

 

            And to support the campaign, Bud Light issued new packaging of their commemorative beer with Mulvaney's face printed on it, with his exaggerated, obnoxious, and creepy smile. Prior to this fiasco, the fucker appeared as an ambassador for beauty product Ulta Beauty, by participating in a podcast hosed by the company. To say that the interview was a hot mess will be an understatement. On the other side, Nike, the American sports brand, also did an endorsement deal with the dude, and on his video, he was depicted dancing (obnoxiously, mind you) while wearing the Nike sports bra, which is obviously designed for women who are BIOLOGICALLY VERIFIED BY THEIR FUCKING HORMONES AND GENITALS.

 

            And sure enough, backlash ensued. Anheuser-Busch suffered a massive loss in the stock market, with millions and millions of either Budweiser or Bud Light beers piling up unsold. And this is not an isolated incident as well. Thousands of Americans who are fed up with the whole woke culture banded together and launch a massive boycott around the United States, purchasing alternative beer brands aside from the ones by Anheuser Busch. Nike is no different either, as the brand faced harsh blowbacks over the deal, even some (real) female athletes called for boycott over the brand deal. Just recently, the department store Target launched an LGBT friendly fashion line AIMED FOR KIDS! Not only that, the fast-food chain like Chick-Fil-A, once celebrated by conservative Americans for their religious platform has now fell off the cliff and endorsing the woke LGBT agenda. And this is done en-route to the month of June, known otherwise by the rainbow mob as the "Pride" month. Ironic? I know. Dedicating an entire month to the heaviest and deadliest sin of all seven deadly sins must be hard on your asses.

 

            Despite all the outcry, companies who turn to wokeness for profit is not a new issue. There is one standard scoring index that literally grants and deducts points solely based on how woke the corporations can be, and it's called the Corporate Equality Index (CEI). This dumpster fire is proposed by the group called Human Rights Campaign, probably one if not the biggest left-wing, Soros-funded human rights group in existence. the premise of this index is to literally judge every corporate entity in America on how well they can pander to these groups, including, but not limited to: LGBT+ inclusion agenda, race-based segregation of the workforce, and gender-based policies, which recently heavily favors women (but ironically, nobody even knows what a woman is). In other words, companies are deemed "inclusive enough" if all of their policies and working environment are not based on profits and financial performance, but based on how they can squeeze as many "marginalized" workers and market themselves to be as woke as possible to the point of no turning back. This is literally the same as the one being implemented in China, called the "Social Credit Score". The premise is, the better you behave in the eyes of the government, the more social credit score you get. The more unruly you behave, and you lose all of your credit score. In reality, this is total control.

 

            Usually, I am saddened when a business that has been built for years with money, blood, sweat and tears must close its doors, often permanently, but in this case, I am actually rejoicing. Why, you may ask. I say this because unlike those businesses that unfortunately closed during the pandemic three years ago because of lack of financial support, these corporations are boycotted at the very least all because of their own decision to shove woke agendas into their consumer base. No wonder people started to look elsewhere for alternatives when the brand that they're used to suddenly caved into the alphabet mob and spewed the "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" bullshit while at the same time neglecting their own consumers who just wanted a good product. 

 

            I guess what I'm trying to say is the woke ideology is not for everyone. As many would always say, "whatever happens in the western world, stays in western word". While human rights issues continue to be the center of mankind, forcing ideologies that would otherwise clash with traditional values of one country is not a good idea, especially when done by big corporations with only profit on their mind.

Fat Acceptance Movement: Destroying Their Own Bodies One Large Meal at a Time

 (Warning: Strong language galore, rants, and a TON of fat jokes ahead)

(This piece only uses the metric and kilogram scale for measurement)

 

            I don't know how this world works anymore. It seems like we as a society are heading towards an unprecedented level of total idiocracy, with clashing ideologies and a lot of people claiming to be "oppressed" (give me a break). I used to be sympathetic with some movements like the body positive movement, which in theory celebrates human bodies of all shapes and sizes. As per my statements in previous piece, my understanding of this movement is for people with conditions outside their control, whether physical deformities or disabilities as a direct result of irreparable injuries. But these days, the once peaceful movement has been hijacked by people who are basically too lazy and too ignorant to see the bigger picture. They elected to destroy their own bodies by eating too much and moving too less instead of bettering themselves, all in the name of body positivity.

 

            And yet, people who wants to speak out against this movement, called fat acceptance movement are called every fucking name under the sun, most notably "fatphobia" (for fuck's sake), "hater", and my favorite, "thin privilege". Well, thanks a fucking lot. The movement itself defined as a social movement seeking to eliminate the social stigma of fatness from social attitudes by pointing out to the general public the social obstacles faced by fat people. Again, in theory this seems like a good idea, but in reality, the movement itself has been viewed as a total wreck, from ignoring studies that clearly say that 60% of causes of death in the United States are linked to obesity to some degree, the act of body shaming against people who just want to be fit and healthy, to the apparent double standards enforced by these bulldozer-looking women. Yes. I said women, because according to this shit-for-brains fat activists (whom are all women for some reason), fat women are seen as beautiful and brave, whereas fat men are seen as disgusting fat fucks. Nothing more, and nothing less. Just disgusting fucks. This is what I have issue with to be honest. Like I said many times, I've lost too many of my family members for weight-related conditions. My uncle (rest his soul) passed away for several complications like high blood sugar and cholesterol, added to the fact that he, along with several family members from my mother's side, tends to gain weight easier. 

 

            The first one that grinds me heavily on this subject is the sheer hypocrisy of the body positive movement, as a direct result of the fat acceptance movement. For these overgrown rhinos, being a bit larger (well, a bit larger as in weighing like a literal elephant) than average is viewed as empowering, whereas people who like to stay fit, controlling their daily calorie intake and exercise ever so often are instead viewed as the enemy of the body positive movement, calling them "slaves of diet culture". First of all, diet is NOT A FUCKING CULTURE! It is only the way of someone eats on a day-to-day basis from food choices to portion sizes. People who have this kind of mindset is usually suffers from an alleged eating disorder appropriately named "binge eating disorder". You see, addictions of any kind are never good, much less doing something too much or too less. Whereas drugs, alcohol and sex addiction are viewed as bad, somehow, food addiction (mostly junk food in this case) is often overlooked, or in this case, rather encouraged. Virgie Tovar is the name that instantly came up to mind when I think about a "fat activist" who advocates for binge-eating without any guilt. This author, fat activist, and a literal sloth with flabby body parts actually encourages impressionable souls to each as much as they want without all the care in the world, continuously racking up kilograms until you end up on an episode of My 600-pound Life (or should I say, My 272-kilogram Life). Thanks Tovar, you utter jackass.

 

            The second thing that annoys me about this shitstorm is the term "heath at every size". Let me correct you overweight hippos right there. There are certain sizes that can be deemed medically as unhealthy, either you look like a literal twig like Eugenia Cooney (bless her heart, but she really needs to start eating more) with only skin and bones or being so huge, you create a tremor or a minor earthquake every time you take a step like Tess Holliday (sorry not sorry, lose some weight, you wrecking ball-looking woman, you are not a fashion model). Apparently this trainwreck of a movement has existed since the 1960s, but in 2008, a book of the same name written by (oh the fucking irony) a nutritionist named Linda Bacon (now Lindo Bacon, for some fucking reason) skyrocketed this movement to new heights. At first, what she said is completely sensible, by adopting good behaviors and to forget weight changing as a goal, and embrace the bodies that the people are living in. In theory, this movement is created to destigmatize people with extra kilos, but at the same breath, it's been overshadowed by the need to push that obesity is not unhealthy in any way (don't take my word for it). I believe that these panzer tank folks took Linda's (fuck it, I'm referring this person as Linda. If you want to scream bloody murder to me about transphobia, homophobia, or anything for that matter, be my fucking guest) words out of context and use them to weaponize their shit argument that you can be fat and being fit at the same time (which is an oxymoron). Hell, Linda herself even states that in order to win the war against fat is to give up the fight itself. Thanks Linda, you goddamn hypocrite.

 

            The last but not least, it's the SURPLUS amount of fucking toxicity plaguing this very movement. For influencers or celebrities advocating body positivity and health at every size who weights approximately three times the size of a hauler truck, they have this pressure to keep their image as a body positive advocate to never do anything that could insinuate "intentional weight loss". This is what happened to the singer Adelle. This fine lady at first was a bit bigger during her first 2 album cycles. Members of the fat acceptance community praised her for just being her, with all those extra fats. Then the bombshell dropped when she posted a photo on her Instagram page looking a lot thinner than before. In fact, she lost a whooping 45 kg (100 pounds). And you think that the community would still stand behind her after all this time, right? Well, you are DEAD. FUCKING. WRONG. She is swiftly denounced and subsequently blasted and hated by those walking cannon balls for "intentionally losing weight in the name of personal health". SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. She's doing it for herself seeking no fucking approval from you oversized wankers who only wants to sit your fat asses down gorging on gross food. Hell, I'm starting to suspect that secretly, you all wanted to be like Nikocado Avocado, minus the OnlyFans stuff. All things aside, Adelle is thriving in her new appearance, pumping hit song after hit song after hit song. Thanks Adelle, you absolute legend. 

 

            I swear to The Almighty God, these fat activists, who weighs more than a fucking Formula 1 car (with the driver onboard, take George Russell or Esteban Ocon for example) are constantly pushing their shit message of "body positivity" by endorsing large corporations and forcing other people to make them a "safe space", and those who disagrees with them, even slightly is deemed fatphobic. One time I discovered a story about a beauty salon opened in 2017 catered specifically for women 272 kg and above. The owner of that salon is a woman weighing 225 kg named Jamie Lopez, who once broke a chair while visiting a beauty salon. Her countermeasures for her salon are to enforce the chairs inside the establishment, so they can support up to 362 kg of humanity. Aside from normal beauty services, customers (or in this case, hauler trucks) are served with mimosas and various sweet treats like cupcakes while being treated. Basically, only whales are allowed inside. I guess we should set up an earthquake station near that salon, because I reckon the seismic activities must be huge with all those large women around. Another one is when I discovered a TikTok page belonged to a "plus-size traveler" who once ranted about having to pay for extra seats just because the seat she booked couldn't fit her enormous cannonball size of a human body. I said this once in a video (which has since been deleted for "harassment and bullying", thanks a fucking lot, TikTok), and I'll say it again for good measure: Society doesn't owe you shit, but you owe society every-fucking-thing. If you want that extra seat, buy it like you would buy airplane seat for two! Don't pull your victim card when everything is not up to your delusional scenario.

 

            All I can say is, being positive about the body you are born with is not an unhealthy thing. It goes with the notion of self-love. By nourishing your body with all the necessary nutrients, you'll be able to live a healthier, more fulfilling life. One advice though, you should NEVER in any circumstance listen to these fat influencers. They don't really care about your well-being, much like they don't care about theirs either. In the end, the choices we made in live are matter the most for our well-being. And if you chose the wrong ones, then be prepared to suffer those irreversible consequences. Grow yourself and be an Adonis, not a Tess Holliday or a Virgie Tovar. If you think that behind this piece is a straight, white, American Christian man, you are dead wrong. I AM STRAIGHT, no surprise there, but I'm a brown-skinned Indonesian Muslim man. Eat your fucking heart out.
