sometimes ill go “hey… hey” at my dog until she calms down and looks at me and then ill tell her “smoke weed every day” and she goes wild. idk what she thinks it means
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.
and then they let it air and outed someone to everyone ??
Yeah, they still aired it. I bet any money they knew he was trans and were counting on that coming up, perhaps only for tokenism rather than drama, but I have doubts.
Just coz they played the role of “look what such good allies we all are” doesn’t mean they didn’t just exploit a trans person and leverage transantagonism for ratings.Zeke applied for the show without telling them he was trans because he wanted to be Zeke the survivor contestant and not just the trans survivor contestant. It was after the producers contacted him to say they were interested in casting him that he revealed it only to the producers. So yeah, they knew he was trans, but not because of the drama or as a token, they were already going to cast him before they knew because he wanted to make sure he wasn’t cast just to be a token.
Zeke and Jeff Probst (the host) had talked about how he would be able to decide whether or not he wanted the fact that he’s trans to be part of his story and when it would be revealed on the show if it would be revealed. Unfortunately, he couldn’t pick when because Varner outed him.
They kept it in the show because Zeke wanted it to be aired. Zeke got to decide with the producers and the help of GLAAD how the episode would be handled and they had been discussing it since the tribal council happened when the show was filmed 8 or 9 months ago up until it aired yesterday. He was happy that because his tribemates came to his defense and he was able to speak about his own feelings about what happened that something positive came out of a horrible situation and that’s partly why he wanted it aired.
Here’s an interview he did on The Talk earlier today where he talks about how he felt and why it was still aired. And here’s the essay he wrote for the Hollywood Reporter. In the tribal council (7:33-9:30) he talked about his feelings of wanting to be just Zeke the contestant when he applied to the show.
more stuff bout the survivor ep in case ppl were worried why it still aired
dont…. actually put spaghetti in ur tablet pens lmao….
if that shit breaks in there, u might have to buy a new pen entirely.
also amazon has small packs for a few dollars, and i know not everyone can afford even that, but like, dont break your tablet pen or scratch ur tablet to save a few dollars bc fixing/replacing those is gonna cost much more than a few new nibs will
my favorite /FAVORITE/ thing abt pokemon blogs is that some people just get specifically attached to one pokemon and rave about them in their tags and like even though ive never been particularly impressed by that pokemon i love seeing other people so passionate about them like okay i see it now yes yes onix is now my rock son as well
