Two panel comic strip shows Everett True in a butcher shop, after receiving his parcel he beckons the butcher, when the butcher returns True pushes his head down to the counter so he can get a closer look at the change he has left after the transaction. True asks the butcher if, perhaps, he shouldn’t “wrap up the change, too?” He complains that “it’s all smeared over with blood and grease” and tells him to “Clean it off!!!”
Enforcing standards of cleanliness is based as always, and he doesn’t even harm the target of his ire this time
Ahhhh, and here we see the truth of True.
While he may one day go after capitalists for abusing labor, he has no compunction about abusing a regular working man for his own preferences.
Could it be that Everett is just a bully and perhaps a narcissistic abuser? Only time will tell.
You’d probably enjoy The True Story of Everett True then.
Much appreciated :)
“narcissistic abuser” is an ableist stereotype. Just like “black criminal” or “trans groomer” or “emotionless autistic”
What?
I’d like to point out that ableism deals with prejudice against people with disabilities. Being black or trans (or both) are not disabilities.
I’d recommend that you check the dictionary before you get all sanctimonious on somebody. It’s easy if you have an iPhone or iPad. Double tap to select the word, then select the Lookup option. If you speeled it correctly, it’ll show you the definition.
Hatred of black people is racism. Hatred of trans people is transphobia. And ableism is just like racism and transphobia. Therefore, “n*rcissistic abuser” is just like “black criminal”.
If you’re gonna nitpick, then pay better attention to what the grownups are saying.
The more of these I read the more confused I get when people say they always sympathize with Everett
I think he’s kind of a Seinfeld character where the things he’s upset about are relatable but the character is still a jerk.
Kind of interesting that this would’ve been relatable. Its funny if you cook and read old recipes and they’ll say “have your butcher cut it like this” or “most butchers will give this away for free.” Most people no longer have access to an independent butcher at all and now the stuff that was free is a “specialty item” with a high price tag.
Well I think of lot of us only saw a few comics where he was just blatantly in the right, but then more and more get posted that’s way more ambiguous
Though I have to say I would also refuse to touch change if a butcher gave it to me like that
