I Fucking Hate The ‘Bechdel Test,’ & Yet This First Novel Is Probably Going To Pass it. Go Figure

I fucking hate the fucking Bechdel Test. I hate it because it’s a dumb self-avowed “half-joke” litmus test that progressives with their heads up their asses use on art as some sort of Leftist virtue signaling. And it comes from a comic of all things? I am being put through hell because of a “half-joke” proposed in a comic. What has this world come to.

In other words, I don’t come down to their office, knock the cocks out of Leftist cultural critics mouths and tell them how to do their job.

I hate the idea of their being some sort of ideology for storytelling. Just tell a great story. If two women happen to talk to each other about something other than a man, so be it. Ironically enough, I’m fleshing about a scene right now in the first novel I’m working on which would, in fact, pass the fucking dumb Bechdel Test.

Do I win the Olivia Wilde Booksmart Award, now?

Ugh.

Anyway, fuck the Bechdel Test.
