“...Man, who self-identifies as deaf, genderqueer and a queer artist...and a model...”
I miss the less disgusting days of ‘Carrot Top’ or that guy that smashed fruit on stage as your ‘schtick’ or Rodney Dangerfield, the guy that, ‘don’t get no respect’ as his schtick. The Three Stooges had a ‘schtick’ and so did Abbot and Costello. Cher has a ‘schtick’ and so does that idiot Babs Streisand.
The more things change in Show Business, the more they stay the same - they’re just debasing themselves further for the current crop of liberal pajama boy & soy boy DOPES who have cash on hand to spend at the Freak Show, LOL!
All in all, it’s just a SCHTICK. You gotta have one to make a buck!
It’s “dumbing down deviancy”.
