No. It’s not you. To your point – Charlie Sheen’s new show is starting soon (or maybe has started?). I’m sure there is something in it that I COULD like (I have no idea what it’s about, this is just conjecture) but I’m not going to find that out, because I will not watch it, because Charlie Sheen is a terrible terrible person, regardless of if his new show is worth watching/well written/funny/realistic, etc.

Yeah, you know, I like some problematic stuff. Moreover, I actually watch problematic stuff or listen to music with lyrics that are not entirely acceptable, etc. Yet, if someone says “But Flavia, you know this shit is problematic?”, it wouldn’t occur to me to respond with “BUT I LIKE IT!”. I have these discussions with friends regularly as well, we all indulge in stuff we know has sexist or maybe racist or classist, etc, stereotypes. We cannot remove ourselves from the socio cultural context where we live. However, the last thing I would do is try to convince others that this kind of shit does not smell and that well, they should actually enjoy it. That is what gets on my nerves actually.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
