Ok, so there is no current controvery but I would love to stir some up because who doesn’t like to be a #dramaqueen every now and then?
However, as a vegan, there is a lot of truth to the controversy I’m about to explore, so pay attention folks.
This Seth Rogen animated film “Sausage Party” relies on the joke: “What if the food we ate had feelings?” Hmmm, think about that. The humor comes from watching foods, which we believe to be inanimate objects, scream in horror as they are diced, sliced, chopped, you name it.
But wait…a sausage is scared to die and that’s funny because sausages don’t have feelings, right?…But do they? I mean, think about it. What is the sausage?
Sausage is the flesh of a pig who, believe it or not, was probably also scared shitless to be diced, chopped, tortured, and slaughtered…not so funny now is it?
THAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH THIS WORLD YOU PEOPLE! We need to stop objectifying the voiceless!! This is just furthering the problem!
Yes, yes, I know the film also plays on the joke that carrots and potatoes have feelings and they obvs don’t (or at least I hope not lol) but the main character is a FUCKING SAUSAGE! An already beaten, abused, mutilated living breathing animal who was most likely very scared to die… and then this film turns it into a big fat joke.
I’m telling ya, there is something wrong with this world. I just don’t get it.
