Why do people even like this guy? 2 cellos isn’t even an impressive number to have. I have so many more cellos AND many other string instruments
but are you a Johnny?
I snorted so hard at this comment
you know, i haven’t seen johnny actually play 2 cellos… makes you think…….
This guy helps me sleep…ok, I didn’t think that through BUT his facts at night at amazing
Look at mr. I have 6 cellos and 10 guitars over here
i think they did an excellent job with the messaging. it pointed out a real, natural phenomenon while touching on the hard-headedness of people to immediately dismiss anything outside the standard norms – specifically when it challenges them or their long held worldview. they did so tastefully, while integrating it into the plot and without making any of the characters look like ignorant rednecks. it was a subtle but direct commentary that didn’t tear anyone down and drove the point of acceptance/tolerance home with grace.
i’m not sure what people expected them to do. it was handled the same way King of the Hill has always handled stuff like this. it was more about the plot and less about shoving a political talking point in everyone’s faces the entire time.
I think the point of this episode had nothing to do with the transgender debate, but more the fact that people are turning everything into a political debate. I don’t think it was walking the line but pointing out how over protective people have become that when a scientific incident occurs naturally people jump to the trans debate. Again this was just one example they used. I think the fact that you looked so deeply into their political message is a perfect example of what they were actively pushing against. We don’t need to have a political debate with every thing in our daily life. In the end a show is meant to entertain us, they don’t HAVE to have a political message. King of the hill really is similar in Beavis and Butt-Head where they have never had political messages. And unless it’s a show that makes fun of both sides and has a reputation of doing it since the beginning (like south park) I really don’t want them to start. So my advice is to watch this episode again but more from the message of stop being so over protective that you will get offended and defensive over something that happens NATURALLY in nature. This also is made way more evidentl in Boomhaur speech at the end.
With that said while I highly disagree with your take or trying to find a political message I do like your comment and watch a lot of your videos so I hope you understand I really respect you as a creator.
Chickens are amazing animals. Very intelligent, full of personality, interesting social dynamics between them, utter badasses when they need to be… they’re fascinating.
They’re also very capable of being a bit gender queer. e.g I rescue hens from the egg industry and often the hen at the top of the social hierarchy, the alpha of the pack (if you don’t include me) can often manifest the physical traits of a cockerel. My head hen, Wilma, grew extra claws on her lower legs like those of a male and this happened once before a few years ago with the previous generation’s head hen, The Big One (and they remained after she was deposed for being a tyrant by Blue, the most badass little hen ever but that’s another story.)
Some say this happens due to the absence of a cockerel but it’s not that simple. This year my hen sanctuary took in Alan, a stray cockerel who’d been abandoned by his owners. Wilma’s spur claws did not recede, in fact they doubled in size in reaction to Alan’s presence because she wasn’t going to let some newcomer depose her from her position of head chicken (and she was right to do so as she’s had years of training whereas Alan was feral and uncivilised. He’s better now he too has had some training but he’s still not as suitable for the head chicken job as Wilma is.)
The chicken isn’t “Trans” it’s still a freaking hen it just developed rooster characteristics, it didn’t become male. This really disappoints me. Especially since “Trans” athletes in women’s sports have seriously injured female players. There was a teen girl volleyball player who was in a coma after a ball was viciously spiked into her face by a “Trans” player. People conveniently forget things like this because women’s safety is less important than someone’s feelings I guess. Bad take
Didn’t Riley Gaines actually come in 6 place? Let’s not give that monster anymore credit than she has already stolen.
It was pretty funny that the chicken put up a good fight in the competition just to get smoked by the real roosters.
