Beavis Was The Wokest Bae
posted July 7, 2016 #
The Internet is full of absurd BS, I think we can agree on that. You would think that someone making the argument that Beavis (of the famed Beavis and Butt-Head) was a woke feminist, shy in his ways and understanding of the empowerment of women would be nothing more than an exercise in trolling. However, Alana Massey's Beavis Was the Wokest Bae is a surprisingly entertaining read and a hilarious argument to consider. It's filled with great passages like this:
Though Beavis is admonished by Butt-head and critics alike for his unwieldy sexual energy and his uncontrollable submission to the rhythm when it strikes, it is notable that he never touches the women to whom he is attracted. While Butt-head reaches out his hands suggestively and directly summons women, Beavis never attempts physical contact. That his mouth falls agape, his eyes open wide, and he is rendered speechless are forgivable when you consider that his failure to bang chicks is always recognized as a personal fault. And while Beavis' main priority in life is to score, he never responds to rejection with disdain for the women who decline his offer of coitus - rather he experiences personal grief characterized by low-decibel lamentation and occasional panic that he might never score.
