Globe Theatre

*The rebuilt one to be specific.*

A disgrace to William Shakespeare himself and the theatre realm as a whole. This "theatre" desecrated Sainte Jehanne la Pucelle (Saint Joan the Maid)

of France with their play "I, Joan", and puts unnecessary trigger warnings and suicide helplines to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, a play known for the damn suicides.

Like dear, imagine being traumatized by this production of Shakespeare's R and J... It's just like Romeo+Juliet by Luhrmann with guns, blackwashed Romeo and Giulietta and stuff. Hungary's Rómeó és Júlia for example is literally far more deranged in all aspects, but they offer no trigger warnings, and it's not even a Shakespeare play. It's a musical. This " Globe Theatre" is absolutely ridiculous.
Woke theatre kid: Joan of Arc is non-binary! I know it all along!
Sane theater lover: Did you go to the Globe Theatre?
Woke theatre kid: Yes! I even watched their Romeo and Juliet! Love it because the couple are represented by blacks! Yay diversity! Also, they offer trigger warnings and helplines too. They're so generous for my gentle mind.
Sane theatre lover: If you think St. Joan is non-binary, then I would recommend you to read the REAL story of her. She's a woman, not non-binary. Also, do you think their R and J is so deranged, it needs the nonsense helplines and TWs?
Woke theatre kid: *drools* Yes! Its bloody, which can upset some people.
Sane theatre lover: *smirks* Try to watch the musical Rómeó és Júlia and come back to me a day later.

A day later...

Sane theatre lover: Hey, how's the musical?
Woke theatre kid: *suicide scene flashbacks*

Cultural Appropriation

One of the best ways to divide us humans even further, by telling to ourselves that sharing cultures is a threat to a nation, even with the reality that all cultures must be welcoming what other cultures can offer for mutual growth.

If you believe a white man for example can not be inspired by cultures made by blacks/yellows/whatever just because his skin is white, you are a threat to the survival of culture itself, as assimilating good values of other cultures to improve yours and sharing your good values to those interested as well is vital to humanity's growth as a whole.
Jane, the Woke SJW: You can't wear a Salakot, you cis white man! That's cultural appropriation! You're endangering Filipino culture by wearing that!

Dylan, A Filipino born in the US: Yes! It is not appropriate! Salakot is for Filipinos only! *takes it from the white guy*

Sean, the white guy: WTF!

Teodoro, a Filipino from the Philippines: *grabs the salakot from Dylan and gives it back to Sean* What are you guys talking about? It's fine! Nothing's wrong with a white guy wearing our creations, as it promotes and shows the capability of Filipino weavers, idiot! Also, it's art, and art must be shared, bobo!

Dylan: *confused on what bobo means*

& Juliet

The woke musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet featuring a neofeminist blackwashed Juliet, an annoying Romeo (Not him of all...), the Francois bullshit, the non-binary nonsense and a shitty journey after she escaped the tomb. Combine it with flashing lights, lazily-made mashup of mainstream pop music, cringy costume designs, out-of-place "necromancy" (They revived damn Romeo like God... Just give him the rest he deserved.) and dopamine triggers and it becomes a hit in Broadway and West End. A desecration of Da Porto, Bandello and Shakespeare's work. The ultimate sacrilege.
Karyn, the Woketard: &Juliet rocks! Broadway never fails to make a good Romeo and Juliet musical... I mean a Juliet musical because no Romeo this time. Girl Power!
Phyl, a Shakespeare R and J fan: That musical can suck my dick. An insult to Shakespeare.
Dyl, a Rómeó és Júlia fan: They turned Romeo of all things into a jerk... What a sacrilege. Also, Broadway is just overrated for me.
Karyn, the Woketard: You guys are just whiny haters. & Juliet for the win!
Dyl and Phyl: *facepalm*

Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is originally a novella written by Italian writer Luigi da Porto, who wrote this because he couldn't marry his cousin. It got revised by a monk named Matteo Bandello, then translated to Baguette Language by some French guy, then landed on Arthur Brooke. He then wrote it as a poem with some dark shit featuring Romeo banging his head against the wall, then named it Romeus and Juliet. And of course, Shakespeare read Brooke's work and based his tragedy on it, and we got the version of Romeo and Juliet that almost everyone hates.

Differences:
• The Da Porto novella features a passionate and truly in love Romeo and Giulietta, while the Shakespeare Tragedy has a set of horny teens who thought lust and love are the same. (I kinda blame it for the tragedy's shoddy timeline and Shakespeare turning them into teens.)
• The Shakespeare Tragedy features Tybalt and Mercutio with personalities, while the Da Porto novella only have them as extras.
• The Shakespeare Tragedy had Romeo dying all alone. In the Da Porto novella, he had Romeo dying until Giulietta woke up. (Kinda like Romeo+Juliet.)

To summarize, Romeo e Giulietta by Da Porto was born out of a man's failed love, while Shakespeare's tragedy was born to torment stupid teens while giving tears to Shakespeare Simps.

If you encounter this and experience symptoms such as cringe, brain damage and boredom, find more adaptations or read the novella.

(If symptoms persist, consult the Hungarian Musical Rómeó és Júlia.)
Romeo and Juliet is not cringe. You just watched a bad adaptation of it.

Grey Lady Effect

*Referring to Lady Helena Ravenclaw from J.K Rowling's Harry Potter*

This happens when someone (Often an offspring/friend/spouse/partner of someone famous) gets overshadowed by well... Someone famous (Like how Helena Ravenclaw was being constantly compared and overshadowed to her mother, Rowena Ravenclaw.). It results on the former being constantly compared to, bullied, underestimated or outright discriminated by clueless people based on the latter (The Famous Person), causing mental strain and low self-esteem.

To famous people who have ordinary children/friends/spouses/partners, please never give the Grey Lady effect to them. It sucks. Real bad.
Severus, son of a celebrity dad: I hate my dad. I love acting, but being constantly compared to my dad's achievements kills me.

Dyl: That's the Grey Lady effect for you.
Phyl: That sucks. Being a shadow to your dad.
Severus: I don't like it. I love my dad, but I hate the people treating me like shit because of his fame. I wish I can just be me.

Neopronoun

This thing exists when people (Often woketards) don't want to grasp the grand theatre of reality and make up something that makes them feel good. This results in disconnection to reality itself, segregation based on this made-up words, and the obsession of constant positive affirmation. Mentally ill people often use this to make themselves feel special, and dear, this leads to worse outcomes.
Starbucks Lady: I use the Fae/Faer neopronoun because I feel I am special. I think I am a faefolk in my past life.

Faefolk: You are delusional! The Fae are never human, and you are one! Prepare to be cursed! You are a disgrace to your kind! *Banishes the Starbucks Lady*

Popstar

Oftentimes the face of the vile pop music record labels. They're often attractive (Guy with abs or a lady with an hourglass body), as they often sell their bodies through Music Videos (MVs) while singing some mediocre song (Often not of their own making) with flashy presentation to gain millions, or even billions of views from mostly stupid, gullible teens who never know a thing about what makes a good song, let alone music.

They're mostly terrible people in real life with diva personality or just outright obnoxious behavior, and yet their fans never question their devotion to these "idols", as they often treat them like gods.

These "performing artists" often promote vices and sexualization with vulgar words to the mix, resulting to them acting like spoiled, hideous idiots.

To conclude this, NEVER choose a popstar as your role model. Ever.
Brittany: oMG!!!! Nicki Minaj is the best artist ever!!!!!

Dyl: Popstars are often shitty people armed with autotune, Brittany.

Phyl: You better search for actually good songs before that crap damages your brain beyond repair.
Dyl: And besides, Nicki is a shit person anyway. Why waste your money on her?
Brittany: You guys can lick mah ass! NICKI FOR THE WIN!!!!!!
Dyl and Phyl: *facepalm*
