A 3 second sex joke is no one's best contribution to the world.
I'm sorry, have you not read my comment history?
🤣
No? Is that an expectation?
Definitely not!
For me 3 second sex is my only contribution to history
Time will tell.
It really won't. No one is defined by a simple innocent joke they made one time. Saying it does is an insult to everything they've accomplished and gone through in life.
I mean shes the one making it her entire personality, and attempting to publicize and monetize it as much as possible. Its not like a cruel nickname pushed on her by the media, she's actively making it her brand/identity.
You can still call her by her name. You don't default calling Hugh Jackman "Wolverine" just because it was such a massive part of his acting career and the reason he is so famous.
I dont want to know her name. I literally could not care less, until she does something worthwhile. For that matter, i wouldnt even ever refer to her as 'hawk tuah' if we werent having this conversation because shes really not worth talking about except to crtiticize her desperate attention seeking behaviour.
Why do you say she's a desperate attention seeker?
She gave a three second interview that went viral, that shes now desperately trying to spin into merch, tv interviews, a podcast, and whatever else she can attach the 'hawk tuah' brand to. Thats pretty desperate. Shes like the new 'cash me ousside' girl, and i think its a gross side effect of our media and celebrity obsession that we shouldnt be glorifying or even humoring.
By your definition, virtually every internet personality is a desperate attention seeker. If you want to see it that way then sure. But she's been using her fame to actually do some good like donate to charity. She even acknowledges she's just getting her 15 minutes of fame and wants to use it for something good. I'm not saying she's perfect and I haven't really been following her myself but you should at least acknowledge stuff like this.

Are you serious? She brings a couple hundred dollars worth of animal food to a shelter (on a live stream) and you think thats actually something notable? She definitely got more out of the publicity and ads than she even spent making that video. Thats literally attention seeking behaviour. And yes, 99% of internet personalities are also attention seeking individuals. Anyway this discussion isnt worth my time, im not gonna give her another seconds thought.
I gave you an example just to provide more context of my point. If you want to avoid seeing or discussing her than that's fine. Just ignore these kinds of posts. But at the end of the day, she's a person not a meme that accidentally went viral. Just treat her as such. That's literally all I'm saying.
And im saying its not at all accidental when she hired a publicist to promote 'hawk tuah' and named her ppdcast 'talk tuah'. Its the identity shes chosen to adopt in the name of fame so she can lie in the bed shes made.
I'll ask my question again. Do you call Hugh Jackman Wolverine because he's used that role to further his career and personal wealth and marketed himself that way?
I mean yeah probably if it communicates who im talking about and why im talking about them. Theres lots of times when ill be talking about an actor and refer to them by the name of their character because i either cant remember or dont know their name, or because its more recognizable for whoever im talking to. But hugh jackman also has other accomplishments that he is known for and that he uses to further his career, its not just him marketing himself as 'wolverine' which is kinda the whole point. If he had never acted in anything else and did livestreams in his wolverine costume and personally sold wolverine merch and had a podcast called wolverine talks then definitely i would call him the wolverine guy. But also acting in a movie is a much bigger accomplishment than being a living meme.
Whatever you say, goat fucker
I'm Canadian so I'm more of a beaver fucker.
Stay classy.
Whatever you say, ostrich fucker.
How were you still able to get insulting me wrong when I literally gave it to you?
Oh, sorry.
Alleged ostrich fucker.
