There’s Something To Be Said For Inhibition
I miss the concept of shame. As social correctives go, it was underrated.
Apparently, we’ve arrived at a stage of civilisation in which chunky middle-aged men dress as women and then deliberately piss themselves in public, on camera, as an erotic high, before sharing the recording on social media and awaiting likes. Which is to say, affirmation.
See also, via Stephanie, this. And somewhat related, this item here.
Lifted from the comments, which you’re reading of course. Also, open thread.
So how can we shame you today?

Speaking of shamelessness.
They’re not going to shame themselves, you know.
50% of the mothers of children with Gender Identity Disorder have borderline personality disorder.
Neighbourly scenes.
Are today’s words ‘off’ and ‘meds’?
The sorts of people who go to Pride festivals.
Without seeing the preceding events, it’s hard to say much. Though my immediate impression was that the demeanour of the husband/boyfriend suggested a certain weariness. As if he’d been in similar situations before.
One of the big problems is homeless crazies. At one time there was housing for the drunks, druggies and crazies. Some in mental institutions–dumped on street. But importantly, in US big cities there were Single Room Occupancy (SRO) buildings. SROs had single rooms with no bathroom or kitchen–shared bathroom down the hall. So, very cheap. A drunk with a social security check could afford it, get their mail, keep their stuff, and have a safe place to sleep. But social pressure was to get rid of them because….wait for it…they were full of drunks and hookers. As if the building was the cause of the low-lifes. So over the past 30 yrs they are all gone and the drunks are on the street. Any attempt to build such a thing now encounters zoning that requires that every unit be middle class (min sq ft, AC, kitchen, bath) but somehow cheap. They replaced the low-income housing in Chicago like Cabrini-Green with very nice apartments where regular renters are mixed with low income using vouchers. Sort of works but boy are the costs to the public high. I know because my daughter lived in one for several years.
Or because he’s been told by experts in these matters, psychologists , church pastors, classes he paid good money for in college, even by much of the culture/movies/tv shows/books, that these sort of events are his fault. Somehow. After all, he’s white, he’s male, he’s (apparently) heterosexual. He would not be in such a situation were it not for choices that he has made, right? I doubt she’s heard much more than a suggestion that maybe she has slightly, ever so slightly overreacted just a teensy bit once or twice…though she was obviously in the right all those times. Maybe she has. Maybe.
Off and meds:
It is possible that the guy filming has indeed done creepy and disturbing things. However, her actions strike me as reflecting a female feeling of impunity–that she can walk up and smack a stranger/neighbor simply because she has a “feeling” and is female.
The sorts of people who go to Pride festivals.
I’ll see your “pride” festival, and raise you a “it’s never the ones you want to see naked” “pride” party – speaking of shameless.
Bro you just attached a ton of weird baggage to people playing in a fountain. Weird baggage. Weird. See, you’re the weirdo, understand?
Added: Though technically, they’re not naked and it’s been legal to go topless in NYC for several decades. Why the objections now? Isn’t this what we expected to happen?
speaking of shameless.
Prosthetic breast alert. Dude half out of the frame on the left-hand side.
Experienced deja vu watching the video. Realized its similarity to the hippo video in emphemera.
Prosthetic breast alert.
Why do they always go full Chesty Morgan?
Real women blessed/cursed with gigantomastia will opt for breast reduction surgery if they can afford it.
New York City “pride” parade: “We’re coming for your children”.
San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus: “We’re coming for your children”.
Same gay songwriters in 2016: molesting young boys in Afghanistan is beautiful.
Meanwhile, a thunderstorm is passing by and I have 90 pounds of Weimaraner cowering behind the bar in the TV room, while the other Weim could not give a rat’s ass about the noise.
Fourth of July is gonna be fun . . .
Speaking of prosthetics . . .
“Why do they always go full Chesty Morgan”.
Same reason as why those crazy women who willingly allow their lower limbs to be sliced down to the bone like an Iberico ham always (allegedly) opt for at least the “standard” 7 inch if not the 9 inch non-functional meat-tube complete with nifty left-bollock located auto-inflate mechanism.
Speaking of prosthetics.
The young man played that like an absolute boss.
An unwitting admission of what leftists think about black people:
Also says killer should not be jailed, per the wishes of the victim.
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
–Pride activists
…the “standard” 7 inch if not the 9 inch non-functional meat-tube…
OTOH, join in with the sing along. (language outside the UK)
Man turned himself into a freak, then complains about shortage of freak doctors.
Though technically, they’re not naked…
Too bad, otherwise they could get their moles checked.
All I can say is, that once Pride (The first of the seven deadly sins) month is over, I can’t wait for Gluttony, Lust, and Sloth months.
There are times when German pacifism seems ill-advised.
I can’t wait for Gluttony, Lust, and Sloth months.
Judging by many of the individuals who have been featured here, I think they are running concurrently with “pride”.
…non-functional meat-tube complete with nifty left-bollock located auto-inflate mechanism.
Speaking of which, this clot featured yesterday claiming a doctor thought his Potemkinpenis was the genuine article seems to be having a bit more trouble with his “ween”, but no ragerts about the whole mess.
All I can say is, that once Pride (The first of the seven deadly sins) month is over, I can’t wait for Gluttony, Lust, and Sloth months.
And French.
Certainly pride, lust, wrath, and envy. Maybe the other three, too.
Hmm… I was on the borderline of commenting on this but thought otherwise…but…wth… I have remote inlaws-ish (gay) friends who are spending about seven weeks in Europe. We have been following their adventures through England, Ireland, Normandy (a visit to to Omaha Beach that was photographically impressive), and now Paris. They attended the (a ?) Pride Parade in Paris and I considered commenting to the effect that we (or more specifically my wife, I haven’t looked at the specific post myself) did not see the sort of outrageous BS that we see in such parades over here. Not that that video is as terribly outrageous but it is bloody idiotic.
Heterosexuality with extra steps, Part 706.
Nope. Not clicking.
So… when does lust month kick in anyway?

As I said, consecutive sentences, meanwhile, if this doesn’t say “pride”, nothing does.
He didn’t buy the frock.
Caution, graphic.
We’ve been here before, of course.
He doesn’t appear all that proud about the ankle tag hidden under his white sock. I wonder why he has to wear one of those?
Or, “Screw all those other victims and all those future victims. My pretensions come first. Everything must be about my neurotic vanities.”
And so, the ersatz piety is actually an act of utter selfishness, a kind of self-admiration.
The contortions performed by such people have entertained us many times:
For instance.
As if the kinds of creatures that indulge in repeated muggings and violent robberies, and home invasions, and casual murder, and gleefully stomping on some random person’s head, for shits and giggles, were in any way redeemable. As if their continued existence would be likely to result in some kind of flourishing – rather than, say, more of the same. As if the wellbeing of such vermin should be of any concern to the rest of us.
It does seem a little morally contrived, a tad perverse.
It’s worth taking a moment to imagine some progressives-only community that functioned according to its inhabitants’ professed values regarding crime and punishment. And in which the response to the behaviour mentioned above is to sympathise with the perpetrator and to chat about our feelings. And to then imagine how long its inhabitants would survive the inevitable targeting by burglars, muggers, and assorted sociopaths.
And that’s the irony. The ostentatious posturing is only viable in a society in which others disagree and take views that are disdained as unfashionable, and who wish to see such predators punished and locked up in a dungeon.
While these “progressive thinkers” strongly oppose punishment of muggers and killers, they do advocate punishment of those who disagree with them.
Not your grandfather’s Manhattan Project…
Essential, how we got from 1945 to today without “pride” in your face is a mystery.
Yes, we have seen those “skills” and “diplomacy” of late.
Abstract ideas. Right.
First sentence was the only thing they got right, but RTWT, if you can stomach whiny diatribes.
Regarding the above, pretty much the entire saga can be found here.
It’s almost as if these people are setting out to confirm everything that was ever said about gays being dangers to whatever society they reside in.
It’s almost as if these people are setting out to confirm everything that was ever said…
…specific skills to offer that are valuable in a policy and diplomacy context…
If only Khrushchev had these skills instead of just banging a shoe on a desk.

The deep thoughts of Zoe Williams came to mind:
A similar dynamic.
Oh for a British Ron deSantis who could have bussed a few hundred refugee children (quite big ones actually) to Glastonbury. Hell, we could have bought them all £340 admission tickets and still saved money.
Ironic:
I am currently at work and looking at this page during my lunch break on an office computer.
Wisely, therefore, I am holding off clicking on a good half or more of the links posted here so far since I either suspect, or have been warned, that they contain NSFW content.
Ironic, of course, because for the most part the links are to public displays of exhibitionism that are not only widely supported by large sections of the media, but supported by government both locally and nationally, loudly endorsed by the White House, and have children in attendance.
