Finally saw Clerks III. Did not see that coming.

I am actually disgusted by this. If you want to know why Gen Z has rage at the generations before them, I give you this. A 20 year old woman working two jobs DARES to have a dog and matching kitchen towels in her apartment! She should hate these people.
I accept that artists are often weird but I wish I could tell all these artists at this con that alt-sexuality is no longer edgy and that it makes them look interchangeable rather than quirky and special. 😔

Video of it didn't happen.

Typical Jedi Mind Trick of old against young to have somehow shifted all the blame for terrible risk-averse governance, out-of-control "wokeness," etc. onto young women rather than old women in the eyes of young and old men alike. Old women get away with it even more than young.
Bureaucracies staffed by middle-aged and elderly petty authoritarian socialist women import criminal migrants then let them loose because this is the closest approximation to organized physical violence they can sustain against their real enemies—taxpayers who could defund them.
