Been thinking about getting a Twitter. The main purpose for doing so is to follow comic artists and fictional characters who have Twitter accounts. But I don't want to make one JUST for that. I already have a myspace I rarely use, and I only use LJ more by a very small amount. So if I created a Twitter account, who would follow me, and read my ridiculous ass one sentence posts?

If your interests are relatively the same as mine, then you enjoy browsing hotchickswithdouchebags.com

However, after a year of viewing this site and the host's somewhat skewed and mostly inconsistent views of what makes a hot chick or a douchebag, I've had all I can stands and I can stands no more.

"Why? This site is everything a guy who likes to laugh at people for being asshats could want!"

That's true, if it had stayed that way. Unfortunately the host has tried making some kind of counter-culture statement; encouraging people to rise against the douche menace, if you will. Normally I'd be on board to tear down idiots, but this post made me realize that we're backing someone who doesn't quite know what he wants:

( Taken from the website... )

While some of what he's saying is in jest, it's easy to tell that he is mostly serious about this crap. And that's just what it is. Crap. Trying to start a revolution around a website based off of nothing more than trolling people's myspace accounts and club websites for pictures that are taken out of context is arrogant and smacks of bitterness. While the majority of the guys and girls featured on HCwDB deserve to be laughed at, there are the rest who aren't all that douchey or trashy. People like tattoos and expensive clothes. So what? That doesn't mean that every guy who wears it in a picture with an attractive girl is automatically a douche.

People have been buying name brand products for as long as name brands have been around, and it is usually because name brands ARE better than off brand when it comes to clothing. That kind of eliminates the need to protest something that has been happening for so long, that it's bigger than any of us, right? Douchebags have, and always will exist. They will continue to drown themselves in the nastiest fragrances, and wear the hell out of the trendiest fashions to get laid. There's no way to stop it. But not only that, but what happens if these so-called douches start dressing like regular people? Are we all going to wear burlap sacks in protest? What if they do that too? Oh no! What if douches have started copying our nomenclature?! How will we know who's a douche and who isn't?!1

I can personally say that I buy clothes from Express and Affliction because they fit me well. I'm six foot five, 225 pounds, and I have long arms and legs. I buy name brand clothing not because it's expensive, not to "get some", and not because it fulfills me. No, I buy these things because if I bought off brand clothes, they would fit me like 3 pounds of manure in a 1 pound bag. And I don't buy everything Affliction or Express makes. As a matter of fact I think a lot of Affliction's shirt designs are tacky, and Express designs can be bland and repetitive.

Returning to my point, brands of clothing does not a douche make, nor is it hair style. Yes, ridiculous hairstyles deserve to be mocked. Kids that weren't alive to see the real punk rock movement and don't know who John Lyden are, but wear mohawks and cut up jean vests deserve to be mocked. People with anything other than a natural, sun-given tan deserve to be mocked. Guys who wear more makeup than the women they're trying to lay definitely deserve to be mocked. But these things all together still do not necessarily make a douchebag a douchebag. Now I hope you've been reading carefully, because here is where I, as they say, flip the script.

What makes a douchebag is their behavior. Things like objectifying women, turning getting laid into a game of conquest, being discriminatory (Notice I did not say judgemental. First impressions ARE important, but not the absolute test of a person's character. Especially not when it's an out of context picture.) of other people based on their...appearance. Wow. All of this sounds like things that go on over at the ooooole HCwDB website. I'm not condemning followers of the website, nor am I even passing judgement on the host. What I'm trying to do here is point things out in hopes that DB1 will get off of his soap box and put it away for good.

The people featured on the web site aren't all that different from most of us. Who out there hasn't taken a stupid picture in their time? Who hasn't dressed up like an idiot, or done some male posturing to impress a girl? It's all a part of the ciiiiiiiiiiiiircle of liiiiiiiiiiiiiife. So please, DB1, stop trying to make laughing at douchebags an intellectual thing, and leave it at face value.

Well... not really. It's a web comic about a Wonder Woman analog, Wonderella. Most hilarious! If you like dinosaurcomics or Dr McNinja, you'll enjoy Wonderella. Do it!
