In a world where homophobia and narrow-mindedness still persist, one effective approach is to use humor to highlight the absurdity of such views. The notorious “Target Troll” is back, this time taking aim at homophobes who are outraged by Doritos’ support for an initiative designed to reduce suicide rates among LGBTQ+ youth.
You may recall the antics of Alex Johnson, who cleverly trolled critics on the Target Facebook page after the company announced it would stop gender-based marketing for toys. Now, Johnson is back at it, addressing the backlash against Doritos for introducing Rainbow Doritos to support Dan Savage’s It Gets Better project. This initiative, launched in 2010, aims to prevent teen suicides that often occur due to bullying and harassment. It’s a commendable cause, and it makes me want to grab a large bag of Doritos to support a company that stands behind such an important effort.
Johnson is showcasing his signature humor once again, and it’s truly entertaining. Perhaps there’s a career in professional trolling waiting for him. His witty remarks make a strong case for the existence of that profession.
“My life matters! And to show how important it is, I will no longer consume Doritos while draped in my confederate flag,” he quips. Another comment reads, “What shape would ‘decency’ take?” It’s hard not to chuckle at the sheer ignorance displayed by some, especially when they post comments in full view of their names and photos while protesting against a cause aimed at reducing bullying and suicide.
We need to find humor to cope with the reality of individuals proudly revealing their homophobia, particularly in response to an organization dedicated to fighting against harassment and suicide. Please keep the humor coming, Alex Johnson; you’re voicing the sentiments that many companies wish they could express.
It’s worth noting that 100% of the proceeds from the sales of these Rainbow Doritos go directly to the It Gets Better project. If you’re interested, consider donating and acquiring your own bag! For more insights on topics related to home insemination, you can also check out this resource.
