Ah yes, the hagiography of the snowflakes, the triumph of the most easily offended which leads inevitably to ever greater efforts at being offended because the real rewards of the victim trophy. This is a prime and unexpected side-effect of the internet non-press, the ability of the basement dwellers to influence the rest of the world. When the ‘press’ was measured by the cost of the column-inch or the broadcast minute, there were eagle-eyed editors, answerable to their cost-conscious masters, to winnow the wheat from this chaff.

The Oscars, along with the other pop-culture award shows, are a prime example of what is now infecting the internet, the ability of the ephemeral movie people to gain publicity by acting outrageously. This has been done for decades but now, with the effective primacy of the LEFT and its chosen cohorts of the MSM and pop-culture, it is magnified.

I haven’t watched any of these for decades yet the MSM is always ready to tell of their importance in my life. Water off a duck’s back for me!

I have never watched the Oscars or any other so called entertainment awards show.
Just a bunch of overpaid assholes giving themselves a pat on the back for being overpaid assholes.
Never seen one, don’t care about them, and my life has been just fine.
