Rhinocrisy Guide to Being Evil, part III
posted by saurabh in Bad People, Faminism, Guide to being evil, Travesty |Friends, we have in the past expressed concern that our readership might have an overdeveloped sense of morality, and so may be trampled and bruised by the herd in the mad dash towards the pinnacle of crapulence. For your protection, therefore, we present this occasional series on how you, kind reader, may become less kind and more cruel, and thus hopefully further your success.
There are few people as vulnerable and impressionable in this world as children, and as we suggested in previous editions of our Guide to Being Evil, one of the surest paths to unadulterated evil is by exploiting that weakness. As I like to say, there is no sound sweeter than the piteous shrieks of the innocent.
However, it is vital that, in committing your evil deeds, you don’t make too much work for yourself. Not because sloth is an exceptional evil by itself (it’s only a second-rate evil), but because mass productivity is what’s really required to achieve legendary status as a demonic fiend. We’d all like to be able to disembowel and consume the entrails of half a million small toddlers, but who has that kind of time?* Instead, we can save ourselves considerable effort by piggy-backing on the general tide of evil washing over society.
As a case study, we present the website Miss Bimbo, a “virtual fashion game” created by one Nicolas Jacquart, an evil genius capable of inducing such a towering hatred that you, personally, would relish the act of skewering his body with a couple of meat-hooks. The site is directed at an extremely vulnerable segment of the population: young, pre-teen girls, and its goal may be neatly summed up by the tag: “Are you ready to become Queen of the Bimbos !?!” Herein, the young female may pilot a virtual bimbo, and by controlling her weight, appearance, and social status, may accrue “bimbo dollars” and “bimbo cred”, until she (hopefully) attains the desired rank of ruling monarch of a very sad kingdom.
Now, hold your skepticism. You may, at first, be disinclined to believe that such a website is not a parody, or that it actually has managed to attract half a million young, impressionable girls and inculcated in them a desire to become a vapid, clownish caricature of a human being. This is because you do not have the necessary propensity towards evil! Your failure to imagine such a thing is precisely what we are attempting to correct via this series. Take notes, and learn.
I created a test account to explore the Miss Bimbo virtual world (bimbo nickname: Jenghis Khan). At this beginning stage my goals are modest: secure an apartment, get a job, and “Change your drab hairstyle to become a blonde with cool pigtails!” However, if I were to persevere, I would be able to purchase lingerie, a makeover, a nice tan, and maybe (for the benefit of thousands of points of “Bimbo Attitude”) some plastic surgery: a face lift, or perhaps some breast augmentation surgery! Unfortunately the complaints of outraged parents and health care officials forced M. Jacquart to remove the ability to purchase diet pills for your bimbo, which means that he will no longer be able to directly instruct young girls in how to develop and maintain their eating disorders. However, we can be confident that the remainder of his website will admirably succeed in destroying any sense of self-worth that those girls may have.
Now, take note of what M. Jacquart is doing: his barbarism is hinged on a prototype that is well-familiar within the zeitgeist. Rather than doing the hard work of creating a destructive archetype all by himself and somehow encouraging young girls to adopt it, he has made use of the already-widespread social message that girls need to become as empty-headed and artificial as possible, aspiring only to the acquisition of clothes, money, looks, and social notoriety. Others have already laid the groundwork by creating and maintaining industries devoted to making girls hate their bodies and devalue their minds. Pleasant Nicolas merely provides a conduit for the flow of this filth, directing it more efficiently towards the intended targets. Thus he manages great evil with only slight effort.
We may all learn from his vile example.
* Not to mention that toddler entrails go straight to the hips.
at least it’s just in the computer. in venezuela, it’s flesh and blood and nothing but. plastic surgery is a popular present for girls’ 15th birthdays.
I think more vile are the legislators who tried to ban the site.
I disagree. I’m not a fan of slippery slope arguments, and I’m not a free-speech absolutist. That notion is most appropriately applied to political speech, which this is not. So, although I agree with you that legislators should not be banning the site, their sin is nowhere near as vile as what he’s doing.
Did he force any girls to act like bimbos? No. But the legislators forced him to take down his website. He even used the term “bimbo”, which is not considered flattering and would not persuade impressionable youth into thinking it desirable. And why should political speech be more important than regular speech? Like most people I don’t vote. I think politics is a waste of time, a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Non-political speech concerns the issues near and dear to me about my life rather than what Senator Suchandsuch had to say about Governor Soandso. Is it okay to prohibit sodomy or miscegnation because the act is apolitical?
On a final note, it might even be the case that by virtualizing bimbos this man has decreased the percentage of real-world bimbos, just as easy access to violent imagery and pornography has coincided with (and is believed by some social scientists to be at least partially responsible for) declines in homicide and rape.
“Political speech” does not mean “speech by politicians”. I already said that I don’t agree he should be censored, but in relative terms I find censorship of his speech less abhorrent than his site - I’ll just repeat myself for clarity, there.
As to whether he’s doing less damage by ‘virtualizing’ bimbos: ‘Virtualization’ does not erase the impact on our mental space, since we still have the same amount of exposure to it. As a feminist I don’t accept your argument that pornography is responsible for a decline in the rate of rape, as if masturbation and rape are somehow equivalent and substitute for each other, and I doubt you could provide any evidence to substantiate it anyway, even if you could name “some social scientists”. I’m not sure how your substitution argument works, in general - little girls now decide that, instead of becoming bimbos themselves, they will just play one online? WTF?
