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!!!”
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.
“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.
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.
