In a world still plagued by homophobia and narrow-mindedness, sometimes the best response is to find humor in the ignorance of others. The well-known internet troll, now known as “The Internet Humorist,” has returned, this time targeting those expressing outrage over Doritos’ support for a project aimed at reducing suicide rates among LGBT youth.
You may remember the antics of Sam Thompson, who humorously engaged with critics on the Target Facebook page when the retailer decided to eliminate gender-based marketing for toys. Now, Thompson has shifted his focus to individuals upset about Doritos’ launch of Rainbow Doritos in support of Dan Savage’s It Gets Better project. Who could possibly oppose an initiative designed to save young lives?
Launched in 2010 in response to tragic incidents of bullying and harassment leading to youth suicides, the It Gets Better project is a commendable effort that deserves support. Personally, I feel inclined to purchase a large bag of Doritos in solidarity with a company that champions such a noble cause.
Thompson is back at his witty best, and his commentary is both sharp and entertaining. One might wonder if professional trolling could be a viable career path; Thompson certainly makes a strong case for its legitimacy.
“My existence holds value! I shall now refrain from consuming Doritos while draped in my confederate flag,” he quipped, mocking the absurdity of the backlash. Another commenter exclaimed, “Great idea! Bandwagon liberal agenda Doritos! What shape would ‘decency’ be?” The humor is undeniable, even if it includes a typo that adds to the charm.
Traveling the world, I often seek Doritos. Surely, even Jesus would indulge in them. In light of the pervasive nature of homophobia, these exchanges remind us that laughter can be a powerful coping mechanism. When confronted with individuals proudly displaying their prejudices while protesting a cause that fights against bullying and suicide, it can be disheartening.
Let us continue to support voices like Sam Thompson’s, as he articulates sentiments that many companies wish they could express openly. Notably, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of these Rainbow Doritos contribute to the It Gets Better project. You can donate and get your own bag to support this important initiative.
