Worse — 2021 Redux
Our so-called patriarchy abuses boys TO DEATH more often than girls
Man, are we living in the worst patriarchy EVER or what? I bumped into this graph while doing research for an upcoming cartoon. I was actually looking for stats on baby deaths by accident as at that age such incidents seem likely to be neglect rather than due to the kid climbing a tree, but what i found was even better. Or worse, depending on how you look at it.
Oh, and the cartoon is an updating of one i did eleven years ago and it is somewhat disheartening to see that literally nothing has changed — except for the worse (which also happens to be the title of the cartoon itself.)
Goofy no longer…
Disney has just announced that its character “Goofy” will next month be renamed to “Eccentric Dog-Person Doofus” in order to not offend the weird and mentally ill amongst us. The change comes after years of lobbying by bodies such as the “Association Of Incurably Goofy Persons” and “Trans-Dogs Are Real Dogs Too,” who have long argued that referring to the psychiatrically disturbed and dog-like as being goofy is offensive to both the mentally ill and to individuals showing pronounced canine qualities. Disney denies that the move is simply a case of one-upping Hasbro after its decision to rename Mr. Potato Head to “Non-Binary Person of Potato-Shaped Inclusiveness.”
