There are uh… well there are somethings that I always assumed didn’t need to be said. But you know, it’s 2017 so I guess we should all get used to stating things that seemed patently obvious a few years ago. So um… y’know, let’s start with don’t murder anyone guys. Like, murder is bad. And that’s not just my opinion. I have spent a lot of years reading a lot of philosophers and admittedly, that wasn’t really me investigating the moral nature of murder, it was for bigger questions but I can tell you, almost universally Murder is seen as a moral wrong. It’s one of those cross culture/cross time things. Murdering someone is bad. This still feels like a thing that shouldn’t need to be said, especially not on a blog called Who I Want to Fuck Today but… hey, 2017. If you wonder what brings this up it’s because Deepika Padukone has a price on her head. That would be upsetting enough but it was placed there by members of the ruling party in India. There is a lot going on there and it ranges from classic bigotry to slut shaming and I don’t need to go into it because I think it will tempt a lot of my readers, you know, Western types, to engage in some monocle popping and snotty comments about that’s how things work over there. There being not in the West. It’s all very condescending and I want to avoid it. But I am going to admonish India a tiny bit. Stop it India. Please stop giving terrible people over here ideas. Like… I don’t need the people who were protesting on my very street about Confederate Statues starting kick starters to murder actresses for daring to uh… exist? Again, I do want to stress that murder is generally considered a moral wrong. Like the most famous philosophical dilemma of our time is the Trolley Problem and if you are familiar I want to point out the problem comes from the idea that killing is wrong so there is no good solution. It isn’t a maximizing your score thing. And you might wonder why Tumblr needs to know this, tumblr is woke as fuck and on and on but it does come down to a more important problem that tumblr has as well. Use your words. If someone forwards and idea or thought you disagree with use your words. Not violence. Ever. I know it seems like a lot of fun to punch a Nazi but there is a different between being self righteous and right. And if you want to know what I mean I mean that when you resort to violence you debase not only your argument but those who stand with you. And you might say who cares, I don’t care what anyone thinks who would worry about Nazis. And well, that’s the self righteous part. You get to feel good. You get to feel superior. You have changed not a single mind and you have not made the world a better place. You’ve just made yourself look good to a small circle of people who already agreed with you. Rhetorically, the only way to combat an idea is with a better one. This is what changes minds. And it doesn’t matter if you think it’s fair or not, when you resort to violence it doesn’t make you look right. It makes you look like someone who knows they are wrong and the only option they have is to silence the other side. It makes those you disagree with look like oppressed martyrs. It’s a thing to think on. Anyway, Deepika Padukone is beautiful and I have never posted her because I have never seen her in anything. I watch Bollywood movies because I consider Bollywood to be a greatly unappreciated genre the fuses musicals and cabaret and just… they’re epic. But I don’t see that many. I will be seeking out Padmavati if I can because hey, it’s a legend I am not well versed in and it’s the best passive aggressive way I can protest a stupid bounty on someone’s head because you disagree with art you haven’t seen before. But I know who she is because she’s a popular actress and beautiful and so I figured why not post her because we live in an era where it has become important to stress murder is wrong. Even when it’s a woman so beautiful it makes you feel funny in your pants and that makes you angry. Still wrong. Today I want to fuck Deepika Padukone.
