This may come as a shock to my zero readers and people who know me who think they have me pegged as this occasionally bro-ey, sports guy jock man, who might find humor in the now-barrage, of flying dildos hitting the courts at WNBA games, but the truth is, I don\u2019t.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t think it was funny the first time, I didn\u2019t think it was funny the fifth time, and I don\u2019t think it will be funny if and when it happens multiple more times throughout the duration of this season.<\/span><\/p>\n I get all the jokes, about how Dildogate has ironically been some of the most exposure the WNBA has had since Caitlin Clark showed up, and to some degree there is no such thing as bad exposure as long as people are talking about the WNBA.\u00a0 To which such observations aren\u2019t necessarily incorrect, logically, but I just think it\u2019s really juvenile and stupid, and to echo what Sophie Cunningham said, there is an aspect of safety being put at risk by it.<\/span><\/p>\n And that\u2019s where this whole thing blew up, was the fact that a player acknowledged it, and worse off, attempted to dissuade the behavior, because if there\u2019s one thing that\u2019s never been more prevalent about human nature, is that people do not like being told what to do, and now more than ever, telling someone to not do something is basically like demanding everyone to defy it, because that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s going to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n The only joke I will make is that this, is clearly another growing pain the WNBA and their players need to learn, get used to, and adapt about having the increase of awareness to their sport, much like Kelsey Plum needing to understand that autograph hounds are a part of sport, and it might be preferable to be a little weirded out but actually have fans who want autographs in the first place, regardless of what their intentions are with them.<\/span><\/p>\n But back to Dildogate, yeah I think it\u2019s juvenile, stupid, and a sad attempt by a bunch of assholes, regardless of their gender or orientation, to shit on the WNBA and actively work against their growth through sabotage and just flat trolling.\u00a0 Maybe this is just old man thinking, or maturity or whatever, but I guess I don\u2019t think it\u2019s cool to actively put in work against someone else\u2019s livelihoods, especially for nothing more than the sake of the lulz.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Like, it would make more sense if there were a personal vendetta against the league by those perps flinging sex toys onto the court, but I\u2019m going to go out on a limb and assume that such isn\u2019t the case, as much as it\u2019s just a bunch of clowns who think they\u2019re being funny by doing such.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s not only delaying games, I do think it does carry a measure of security and safety risk, because the league is trying to dissuade it from happening by implementing more stringent rules of what\u2019s allowed inside arenas, but as trolls do, they\u2019re exerting more effort and energy into trying to defeat systems and get them into arenas, rather than absolutely anything else productive in their lives.\u00a0 Obviously, this sets up a lot of easy jokes about those who will get them into the arenas by putting them into themselves, and seeing as how the latest flying dildo occurred after one of the increased security measures had come into effect, it probably has already occurred.<\/span><\/p>\n However, one thing I do find amusing about this is the fact that somewhere out there, are people who are either going into sex toy shops or making purchases on the internet, for dildos; they can try to fast-talk about how it\u2019s a joke for the WNBA game that they\u2019re going to, but it doesn\u2019t change the fact that we\u2019ve got, at this point, numerous cases of grown-ass people purchasing dildos<\/a>, full stop.<\/span><\/p>\n Or perhaps, the people throwing them, already had them, and are just looking for a convenient excuse to unload them.\u00a0 But they still had them.\u00a0 For whatever reason.<\/span><\/p>\n Sorry, even if I did find this whole thing funny and wanted to be a troll and participate, I don\u2019t think I could bring myself to go out and \u00a0buy a dildo.<\/span><\/p>\n Either way, I hope this dumb meme trend ends soon, but I\u2019m going to guess it\u2019ll probably last the whole season, if not more, but if there\u2019s one thing that the WNBA should take into consideration, and I\u2019ll leave it up to them to figure it out, as sure as telling people what not to do is going to make them do it, nothing kills a meme faster than acknowledging it, accepting it, and owning it.\u00a0 The power is stripped away from it, and then it\u2019s not fun for the trolls to bother using it further.\u00a0 The implications of what might need to happen are not pleasant, but then again, neither is repeatedly seeing talk about dildos on sports news on a regular basis.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This may come as a shock to my zero readers and people who know me who think they have me pegged as this occasionally bro-ey, sports guy jock man, who might find humor in the now-barrage, of flying dildos hitting the courts at WNBA games, but the truth is, I don\u2019t.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t think it … Continue reading I don\u2019t think the WNBA\u2019s Dildogate is funny, at all<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[59,45,83,156,58,49],"class_list":["post-50796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-basketball","tag-fail","tag-observations","tag-social-media","tag-sports","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50796"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50796\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50798,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50796\/revisions\/50798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
