The craziest part about #TigerKing is the [subliminal] sexist reactions that followed. I’ve tweeted before how this show was drastically overrated so I really don’t care about it at all but I just think it’s interesting [overtly sexist] how the show consists of 7 episodes showing
how Joe Exotic is batshit crazy, a literal convicted criminal, and a guy who constantly makes death threats to people. I mean, overall not someone I’d want to hang out with despite his somewhat catchy, yet weird, country songs. Anyone with any form of intelligence I think would
agree. Yet since the show has come out everyone is loving the guy and making him into some social media meme god. Now obviously I know with memes, nine times out of ten people are laughing at the person not with them so surely people can use that as an excuse and claim to not
actually like the man, which is fine. Whatever. But when you consider how people are reacting to Joe Exotic compared to Carole Baskin, I think it’s hard not to talk about how drastically different they’ve been judged by the public. Aside from the one claim BY JOE EXOTIC, the man
we can all agree is a lying sociopath, that she killed her husband, what other reason do “we” have to hate Baskin? She’s trying to do something positive for the animals that have been bred for profit and imprisoned for their entire lives. Sure, argue that she’s making money off
the animals too but Joe Exotic is imprisoning, abusing, killing, and illegally selling rare and exotic animals on top of all the other crazy things mentioned earlier in this thread. He makes one claim that Baskin killed her husband and that’s the main takeaway from this shitty
show? A claim from a clearly mentally unstable and unwell man who also really should not be throwing stones when he lives in a glass house. The man is a convicted felon and there’s so many other illegal things he’s done that it’s pure #sexism that everyone hates Baskin after
seeing this show, but turns this guy into a meme legend. You can’t see this isn’t sexism, when we have a MAN who has done actual illegal things and it’s been proven and documented, and a woman who has only ever been accused by that same crazy man of something that was never
proven nor based in any facts. We watch a 7 episode show about the crazy illegal shit a man does and turn him into a celebrity, and villainize the woman with an implausible story and turn her into the punching bag meme opposite Joe Exotic’s meme stardom, full of libelous and
slanderous accusations against a woman who was honestly just trying to help endangered animals. The docu-series itself doesn’t even paint Baskin in this negative light. There’s one episode where it talks about Exotic’s claim that she killed her husband and really moves on. It’s
the viewers whom (I’m hoping inadvertently) had these #sexist reactions to Baskin which is honestly sad and problematic. Especially when if you were to ask anyone who has seen the show, who the worse person is, they’d probably choose Joe. So why is the internet and the world it
seems like all attacking Baskin and loving Joe? [Subliminal(?)] sexism! That’s what it comes down to. And if you don’t agree then you’re probably one of the people this thread was describing, and you ain’t ready for that conversation lol #feminism
