I. AM. SO ANGRY. RIGHT. NOW. AND SAD. AND DISGUSTED.
My country has been under attack. This moment we lived and are living is, sadly, historical. Our flags are at half mast, parisians (who normally don’t talk to each other in the streets ever) exchange a lot, we support each other, we’re sad together, we befriend strangers in our pain because we lost so much in these last 72 hours.
Literally 90% of people who can go to Sunday’s march, WILL go. And if all 90% do not go it will be because of FEAR. And this, is alarming.
BUT THEN THERE’S TUMBLR.
You, who dare to talk about a journal you never heard of before. Calling it everything you think it is. Not understanding its covers (For instance, the black man getting assfucked that leads some bloggers to scream “IT’S RACIST!!1” is a goddamn antisemitic, racist fucker HIMSELF. Didn’t know? Then WHY THE FUCK did you even say that.), blaming victims of a horrible, barbaric attack.
You, who try to justify your disgusting speech with tumblr-based vocabulary, trying to appropriate something that is OURS, and ours only. You think it’s edgy to blame Charlie Hebdo? Please find something else to use as a new trend, you’re being disrespectful and ignorant.
You, who try to bring down the support movement with absolutely DUMB-AWARD WINNING comments such as “In [insert a region of the world] people are dying, this isn’t as important”. You fucking twat, you think PAIN AND HORROR ARE A COMPETITION? You don’t feel concerned? FINE. Then shut up, go be concerned about your “more important issues”. We care too, but right now we’re fucking mourning. Respect that.
Also, I bet some people will react like “Hey actually I’m from France and Charlie Hebdo is racist”. Of course that will happen, France isn’t immune to bigotry. Oh, and if you’re tempted to say “they deserved it”, our police has a website where I’ll report your ass right away. Charges can go up to a 7 years prison sentence, so think before posting your pro-terrorism bullcrap.
Not much people know that about me, but I was considering the idea of becoming a press cartoonist. I loved these people so much. Because through their satires, they never prefered ANYONE. They had only one category of people they drew about: DUMB PEOPLE. That’s it. “Les Cons” as we say in France. As Charb said. Charb… Nice, I’m crying again.
Anyway, now I’m sure. I’ll become a lot of things, including being a press cartoonist.
You guys don’t have as much insults as we do (or maybe it’s a cliché and I simply do not know them) so I had to invent some. Sorry, I’m not very creative tonight.
And I do not apologize for the swearing.
Je suis Charlie, and Charlie is by definition politically incorrect. Full of swearing. And really, really damn FUNNY. Which, again, I am not, because I am still mourning.
I know not all Tumblr reacted like this, and I apologize to “intelligent” bloggers who know how hard this is and how we do NOT need any more people who don’t know anything judging what we’re living. But right now… I just can’t.
