Does anyone remember that pokemon episode where an unexplained giant Magikarp almost lands on and kills Ash, only for a swole and tanned Nurse Joy to show up, force feed it a whole bottle of opiates, and then effortlessly overhead-press the one-ton fish before throwing it into the ocean, all in the space of about 30 seconds
some dude on survivor outed another survivor who happened to be trans and called it “deception” like this was some damn soap opera and everyone was like ”lmao that’s personal and not your fucking problem?” and the host immediately said “We don’t need to vote, just grab your torch” and had him kicked off. that’s some instant fucking karma.
here’s the clip if anyone is wondering
it was really shitty and a super aggressive tactic, and the host made a great point of saying “you didn’t just tell 6 people, you told millions of people”.
what i like about the full clip is that you can visibly see this guy slowly realize what he just did, and how it would affect his fellow contestant outside of the game, and he is absolutely HORRIFIED with himself. it’s a much more satisfying conclusion knowing that the guy wasnt actually hateful, he was just a stupid dick who wanted an upper-hand in the bullshit television show game, and he was fully willing to be voted off because he knows what he did was unimaginably damning.
whenever people talk about primal urges half the time they’re talking about something sexual, but it’s like, sometimes you just gotta climb a flight of stairs like that, you know? it’s like my body is telling me, “buddy, five thousand years ago everyone would have bolted up stairs on all fours. it’s okay, it’s natural.”
