[00:12.160]Annika, I long for that too
[00:15.112]A parental figure to serve
[00:18.116]Someone who could recognize the pain in me
[00:21.407]And validate my hurt
[00:24.202]Who could point me in a direction
[00:27.102]And say walk this way and you'll be free
[00:30.158]That I'd have a home there among them
[00:33.215]in their little community
[00:39.928]
[00:44.604]I think back on a teenage friend who introduced me to Marilyn Manson
[00:50.090]In the darkest moments of high school
[00:52.859]It channeled our frustration
[00:56.333]He'd set up a poster of Britney
[00:59.076]She was the face of all that was wrong
[01:02.263]the hierarchy we'd never be part of and then he brought out his airgun
[01:11.980]
[01:16.108]At a concert I met a punkgirl
[01:19.007]She just walked up and asked my name
[01:22.246]asked if I played any instruments
[01:24.911]she had a band that could barely play
[01:28.594]The band was mostly an excuse to wear leatherjackets and hang and go vandalize the swimsuit ads from H&M
[01:37.815]while I carried their spraycans
[01:42.544]The best song they ever wrote was called "Can't Get Laid Cause We're Too Ugly"
[01:53.541]But they never blamed anyone for that
[01:58.844]except Baywatch and Tuti Frutti
[02:05.897]
[02:17.443]I had kind of a crush on the punkgirl but she had a crush on my friend
[02:23.425]and despite my heart being punctured
[02:26.534]I delivered the massage to him
[02:29.877]But it only made him offended
[02:32.803]he slammed the door to his room
[02:35.990]Her interest became an insult
[02:38.916]and confirmed what he thought he knew
[02:43.722]And he was furious, so furious at all the Britney's that he couldn't get
[02:55.216]I distanced myself when I saw what he'd written on the internet
[03:08.147]
[03:19.458]I re-watched Revenge of the Nerds
[03:21.704]Do you remember the speech 'bout being different?
[03:24.787]How l cried when I saw that at 13
[03:27.895]But do you remember the rape-scenes?Cause I didn't
[03:31.030]Or how generally creepy the nerds are
[03:34.113]The plot could be re-sunmarized this way:
[03:37.247]Some athletes try to stop some sex criminals
[03:40.225]from assaulting their partners, but fail.
[03:45.241]I thought about this culture
[03:49.969]that gave me strength when I felt like a freak
[03:56.447]But also gave me an ulcer
[04:01.567]from an anger that I couldn't speak
[04:10.344]That I had somehow been robbed of a right
[04:16.144]to love and sex that I deserved
[04:22.126]A feeling that the game was rigged
[04:28.082]Between alphamales and betanerds
[04:41.117]
[04:44.147]And then lsla Vista happened
[04:46.942]and the Toronto attack this spring
[04:49.972]And I read these incel threads
[04:53.055]they reminded me of something
[04:56.451]I checked my old friend on Facebook
[04:59.481]scared of what I would see
[05:02.250]But he just posted pics of his family in his profile pic he looked happy
[05:08.493]He had a photoalbum called "goodtimes"
[05:11.575]with a photo where we try to look evil
[05:14.788]in shirts that said,"How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?"
