Genuine Fakes

Anyone who’s experienced Political Correctness will know the sanitizing effect it has on the nuance, force, richness and beauty of language.  An imposed style of expression that is not supposed to offend anyone, ends up pleasing no one.  Regular readers of our blog will know exactly what we think of Political Correctness.

But PC has gone further than mere words.  It extends to actions and concepts.  So a situation is called “challenging” rather than “shitty”, an employee’s performance is “sub-optimal” instead of "lazy" or "sloppy",  an out of work guy is “in between jobs”,  the routine sending of an e-mail or making a phone call is “reaching out”.  And on it goes.  

It's no secret to assert that much of this PC originates from 2 places in the West - God's Own Country and its bitch, The Nanny Kingdom.  And a lot of it is being fed by gay activists.


Going Politically Correct with "authentic"

The latest concept to be hit with PC is the word, “authentic” as it describes a person. Originally, the word described someone who behaved impeccably, genuinely and from an internal space of personal truth.  Now, courtesy of image consultants and spin doctors, it has morphed  into an engineered, crafted veneer of credibility calculated to exploit others.


Fags Being "authentic" Online 

Fags are masters at this one. The seemingly genuine online ads are nothing more than bait to massage the fag’s ego or his cock.  The degree of fakery is pervasive, but it looks and seems real.

Even former Pope Benny was concerned about online behaviour which:

“inevitably poses questions not only of how to act properly, but also about the authenticity of one’s own being…………There is the challenge to be authentic and faithful, and not give in to the illusion of constructing an artificial public profile for oneself.”

------Truth, Proclamation And Authenticity of Life in the Digital Age, quoted in “Authentic? Get Real”, New York Times, 9 September 2011

Heh…….tell that one to the Grindr fags, the Gaydar fags, the Craigslist fags the.....[insert online site or mobile hookup app of your choice....]. They’ll just snicker and say that’s how it’s done all the time.  

Then they’ll bitch and whine that they never get action online.  But they always come back to haunt the same sites, reading the newest ads, putting out and getting suckered into bait.  Benny has a good point.  The lack of authenticity is a lack of internal congruency, a fundamental hypocrisy that drives behaviour.


Online "authenticity" and Narcissism

Furthermore, the hypocrisy, fuelled by peer pressure and technology, seems to give rise to a rampant narcissism. Think of all those gay sites, or musclejock vanity sites where viewers aching for a connection or a private webcam show, or a hookup, get to award roses or hearts or dicks to the hottest guys........

Then check this out from an article we had been holding in reserve because we knew sooner or later, we would have to update this post:

 "On Facebook, young people can fool themselves into thinking they have hundreds or thousands of “friends.” They can delete unflattering comments. They can block anyone who disagrees with them or pokes holes in their inflated self-esteem. They can choose to show the world only flattering, sexy or funny photographs of themselves (dozens of albums full, by the way), “speak” in pithy short posts and publicly connect to movie stars and professional athletes and musicians they “like.”

Using Twitter, young people can pretend they are worth “following,” as though they have real-life fans, when all that is really happening is the mutual fanning of false love and false fame."

-----We are raising a generation of deluded narcissists, Dr Keith Albow, Fox News 8 January 2013.

Fags might argue that they’re just showing another side of themselves online and that they’re completely authentic.  We suspect that what they’re actually saying is that a chunk of themselves is a Natural Born Liar in dire need of validation.  Nothing wrong with that except:

• Many cross that line between Natural Born Liar and Pathological Lying and may not be consciously aware of it.  Online and Real Life behaviour blurs.
• How can a fag be genuinely showing his lying side while simultaneously claiming that as hard as he tries online, he just can’t get a hookup?  It doesn’t make any sense yet.......that's the reality of his online life.

Faggotry, Political Correctness and "Authenticity"

As an institution, Faggotry is real big on Political Correctness too – and has a ready-made squad of Gay Nazis to enforce it via activism, shrieks of outrage, consumer and media boycotts.

It makes all the right noises to be perceived as “authentic”.  So, “the community” to which every fag is deemed to belong and asked to “support” is described as “inclusive” and "diverse".  We don't recall being asked, or agreeing to, be included as part of "GLBT".

The teeth-whitened Mr Gay Whatever goes on a roving mission to promote "understanding and tolerance" of Faggotry.  The inconvenient truth that the Rainbow Flag doesn’t contain the colours Black or Brown and the rampant racism within Faggotry, is carefully smoothed over.  Same goes for outrageous drug use, the social and sexual marginalization of the ageing fag, or the large numbers of fags who are Right Wing Capitalists instead of the PC-mandated Socialists, or those fags who couldn’t give a shit about Pride or the latest charity benefit that will, (to quote Pope Benny) boost the "artificial public profile" of its sponsors.

Heck, even being publicly Outed, is now a potentially lucrative exercise in groomed authenticity.  We've written about that in our post, Is Out In ? (.......and yeah, we're gonna be updating that one too......).
