For those of you who don't know me, I am the creator or a very weird video on YouTube called "Three Little Pigs -- Adult Version". It gained a lot of traction because it is a shocking and very rude twist on the original. It currently has 750,000+ views and gets very, very mixed feedback.
But beyond the gay jokes and crude language, the video has a strong underlying message - which I'd like to explain in a moment. First, you might want to watch the video for context.
You can watch the video here - but I warn you, the language and animation is not suitable for work!
First things first: this is not an anti-gay video
I am one of the most open minded people you'll ever meet. As far as I'm concerned, then as long as you aren't hurting anybody without their consent, you can enjoy life however makes the most sense to you.
Yet a lot of people accuse me of making a homophobic video.
Look, I get it. I make gay jokes and throw around terms like "queer". But you'll learn in the end that all I'm showing with my video is that often, when a bully criticises a person for something like their sexuality, it is often because they are jealous - or because they see themselves reflected in their victim and can't come to terms with who they are.
Bullies usually get their comeuppance
It might not be while they're ruling the school. But bullies almost always get their comeuppance.
This can take many forms. Sometimes they simply go on to lead very miserable lives and don't achieve very much. Or sometimes they end up being chased by a big gay wolf!
Fairy tales are always fun when taken from a fresh perspective
My main inspiration for writing this poem - and 30 others just like it - was that you can have so much fun with fairy tales, by flipping the perspective.
Why does the wolf always have to be the baddy?
There was a great post recently on Steemit that flipped the Red Riding Hood story on its head. Check it out here: https://steemit.com/minnowsupport/@dbzfan4awhile/little-red-riding-hood-v-2-0-a-fairy-tale-from-a-reverse-perspective
