Sasha, thank you for the Lady Ballers clip. As an old TERF from way back, I have mixed feelings about it.
Seriously, I hate to be a downer, because at first, I laughed out loud through the whole thing. The sight gags are infectiously funny. But then, as I watched a woman get body slammed, followed by her opponent jumping on top of her as the crowd cheered, something turned over in me and my good vibes went with it.
Visually demonstrating the idiocy and misogyny inherent in pretending that men and women are biologically interchangeable is a good idea and can be comedic. Let's make fun of it, because it looks so dumb and is so obviously wrong. Fair enough.
But all we needed was five minutes of that. Maybe the rest of the film showed injured women being placed on a stretcher and taken to the hospital...because that's actually what happens, and not infrequently.
Maybe the rest of the film showed the devastating career-ending injuries intentionally caused by narcissistic, violent, repulsive, misogynistic sadists who get a hard-on from beating up women. If the film were honest, that's where it would have to go. But then, it would no longer be funny.
I know, people are going to say "c'mon, lighten up lady, it's a comedy," and I get that. I actually do. I love to laugh, especially at those assholes. But in order to make it stick, I'd have to ignore the fact that the butt of the joke is always -- ALWAYS -- a women who has been punched, body slammed, kicked, had a bone broken, or simply suffered a humiliating "loss" for no good reason other than that autogynephilic perverts convinced the world that they're women who have the right to nuke the level playing field into Kingdom Come.
And here's another one: The first time a man was allowed to "compete" against a woman in Mixed Martial Arts in 2014, he broke her skull and was called brave for doing it.
OK, so maybe by the end of the film we see the devastation of traumatized, infuriated, humiliated female athletes who have seen their passion for sports urinated and defecated on while the world cheers. After all, we know that women swimmers are changing in the broom closet so they don't have to watch Miss Thomas parade in front of them with a hard-on. What a gal!
But I doubt it. It wouldn't be comedy. It would be real life, and that's no fun.
Sports were my life (and a safe community) as a young woman who had a less than optimal home life. I have a daughter now, and can't imagine how she's going to fare in this insane sports culture. I appreciate your comment. My heart breaks. 💔
thank God! Not sure that any of these crazies understand the amount of Comedic Gold they lay on the table every day. Every move. Just sitting there waiting for someone to take it and run with it.
It couldn't come at a better time. The obituary of Hollywood.
But wait! What are we missing? It was Hollywood that introduced us to dystopian movies:
Minority Report...will be viable. Blade Runner...Rogue cops and living in fear. Gattaca...good genes and reproductive technology. Fahrenheit 451..banning books??? Soylent Green? Bill Gates, anybody? Logan's Run...we'd better start survival training.
But I have others. The Batman film where the Joker parades through the streets with carnival balloons, throwing money to the population, and then gasses tham all. Gaslighting you might say.
Atlas Shrugged...I'll say no more because we need John Galt now.
Let's use Hollywood to show us what they have waiting for us.
Just for clarification. I’m already a happy subscriber to your current Substack. Does that mean that I will be “comped” for a Hollywood Woketopia subscription, with access to anything behind the “paywall”? I would also be glad to pay something toward this second Substack as well. Thanks
I'm a little disappointed that they didn't try to get Trey Parker and Matt Stone to be the lead actors in this. They probably would've done it. The trailer even has a mashup feel of Baseketball and Dodgeball to it. The Board Girls episode of South Park already did this topic in utterly hilarious fashion.
Just read an interesting article in Boston Magazine about a middle aged couple from Natick, MA. They write a Trade Newsletter for online auctions and such.
For 20 years they’ve kept this thing going.
Trying to maintain an honest commentary on all things in the industry.
The Higher Ups at EBay decided that both the husband and wife needed to be ruined.
And sent out a team from Silicon Valley to Boston to terrorize them.
Wtf?!!!!!
This kind of shit needs to stop.
This Bullying and attempting to terrorize and ruin peoples lives. American against American.
I mean really.
What does EBAY have to worry about?
It’s not like this newsletter was any threat to their billion dollar corporation.
It’s amazing what people think they can get away with these days.
This has some possibilities to be 24K pure solid comedy gold.
100% agree. Not a big fan of Daily Wire anymore but that idea has potential to be hilarious.
I love your work but I prefer to completely avoid everything from Hollywood.
Go girl, good luck !

My heart breaks too, but also, I'm furious. Frankly I don't think this is a laughing matter.
"Lady Ballers" preaches to those who already understand what a travesty it is. I don't see it helping women at all.
thank God! Not sure that any of these crazies understand the amount of Comedic Gold they lay on the table every day. Every move. Just sitting there waiting for someone to take it and run with it.
It was only a matter of time.
Thank you Daily Wire and You too Sasha.
Do it! There is money to be made! Adam's Smith Invisible hand shows how Capitalism is a law of nature and it is defending itself from woketardia.

Lady Ballers Southpark on steroids!
count me in!
Geez, Sasha, you gonna have time for this new substack? Hollywood Wokeness could keep you busy day in and day out, every day!

Tried to listen to the new one but can’t seem to get it to work
I would like to subscribe. I appreciate what you are doing. I signed up for the free version for now. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Pride goeth before a fall Sasha. Ask Donald Trump.
