Sleepless Nights 74 - Butthurt Much?




I have no idea why but lately I've been exposed to far too many butthurt instances. Everywhere. It's as if suddenly, the populace cannot stand being rejected, everybody goes into 'Immachargingmylasers.jpg' mode and proceeds to fuck every other person's life over a simple matter.

This is one of the fuckupperies of the social media i.e. Facebook, Twitter and every other thing in existence. It gives far too much freedom and while I agree upon anonymity (Support it, in fact) all of this shit has rustled my jimmies permanently.



Tak pass exam? Butthurt? Buat facebook page malukan orang lain. Butthurt kena reject dengan Pakcik jual sayur kat pasar? Lima belas status update yang penuh perasaan frust. Bini tak mau anal? Message semua orang dalam friend's list dengan kisah sayu lagi butthurt. Starbucks tak sambut Deepavali? Motherfucking hell, anarchy! Mak tak beli Playstation X-5 yang tak wujud dalam mana-mana alternate dimensions? Hashtag dan twitter sampai Najib pun terbaca.

Puki apa? What the unholy nopefuck, man?

Tak pass exam. Okay. Bro. Welcome to reality. Shit fucking happens. So what if you heard some other people passed by cheating? It's called a fucking gamble, you stand to lose as much as you would gain if you get caught and the reality is that they passed. If you're really that fucking holy, you'd accept the fact, grit your teeth and try again. Knowing that you don't cheat. That's greatness, you decrepit fucktard. Kalau nak buat Facebook page, itu budak lapan tahun kalah main guli pun boleh buat. Step up your god damned game, son.


Then you have these fucking unlimited status updates from people who're the Omegas to end all Omegas. (As a sidenote, being Omega is taking it a step further from being a Beta. Literally the Beta of Betas. Hence the Omega of all Omegas points to being as capable as a banana fritter.)

I can tolerate - Through grit teeth, bleeding gums and curled toes - relationship statuses simply because it's your life so I can't really say anything about it. Also, the option of hiding your posts until the end of time really helps. But butthurt statuses from being rejected? Thas fucked up, Gooby. Countless tumblr quote pictures uploaded, countless denial based statuses, countless 'You don't know what you're missing' shit... And these coming from people who on a normal day would look at you and tell you "Oh, relax, there's unlimited fish in the sea".

It's depressing. You get rejected, you accept that fact, shrug it off and if you really want to be in a relationship that bad, you go find other potential prey. I meant partners. But no. You'd rather drown in your pseudo-sorrow and stay in your room (I'm assuming you have a room) and deny the fact that somebody does not like your endless hollerings of "YOLO" and "SWAG" and whatever the fuck the lingo is nowadays.


And now the latest thing to circulate is the rantings of this Indian Guy to Starbucks Malaysia; upset over the fact that they do not portray any decorations for Deepavali, opting instead to decorate for Christmas.

Well. It is justified, I understand. Starbucks did the whole decorative shit for Eid and the Chinese New Year. What I would like to point out is the necessity of doing such a thing. Okay, I do realise that I might just be the perfect candidate for public enemy but fuck that.

You walk into a store that serves coffee on mostly an a la carte basis. You notice that there're no decorations for a specific festival. Five minutes later, you're already out of the store and you're fuming. I'm sorry but I think it's a bit of an overreaction.

You want to spread awareness about the multiculturalism of our country and how every race must be accounted for and not left behind. Fair enough. But then what about the Ibans, the Kadayaks and the extreme minorities? Surely they too are Malaysian? They shouldn't be excluded, yes?

But you're Indian and you're thinking of your race first and foremost, you argue. Yes, of course but then when we're talking about diversity, nobody (I really mean nobody) should say that. Every citizen should send a note to Starbucks Malaysia and demand that they decorate their store for the Harvest festival. If it's just about feeling left out and being subjected to racism, I hardly believe that posting on facebook would right the wrongs.

While the decorations that we, the normal people have in mind cost, what, fifty bucks or so, I'm pretty fucking sure that a store of that calibre would be thinking of something a bit more grand. And if they do it in one store, they're going to have to implement it everywhere else under the blue M'sian sky. Profit will take a tumble and well, they are a business after all.

Maybe it's easier for me to be coy about the whole matter considering I'm mixed and have been celebrating every single festival ever since I gained the ability to think. Thing is, why the dissatisfaction? I wouldn't mind if there are no Eid decorations (Would prefer it). The thought and joy is what matters the most isn't it?

And why not just make your OWN GODDAMNED TASTY MOTHERFUCKING EPIC ORGASMIC COFFEE?


>Oh but you don't understand the gravity of the matter!
>You're not proud of your race.
>Shut the fuck up, faggot.
>I fucked your girlfriend, lelelelelel
>Other similar comments.

I don't care. Freedom of expression is a bitch.
