The content critically analyzes the television series "Welcome to Derry," arguing that it exemplifies a trend of algorithmically generated, soulless media ("slop") lacking genuine creative intent, in contrast to passion-driven, albeit flawed, artistic endeavors.

Women be like, "If some homeless guy
came up to me and he smeared human feces
all over my face, I'd have to wash that
off. I'm OCD." We are living in what I
describe as the slot nexus age. Media
has reached a point of conformity in
which it can now be efficiently and
quickly made by the [ __ ] algorithm with
the pure intention of wasting your life
away. I maintain that most shows
released in the past 2 years have been
AI generated scripts. I just can't prove
it. This brings us to Welcome to Dair. I
saw a lot of people jerking off over
this one on Twitter and obviously when I
see people enjoying themselves I
immediately need to put a stop to that
one. When it comes to modern media you
have the slop and you have the [ __ ] The
slop is algorithmically generated
whereas the [ __ ] is just made by a
[ __ ] Like the boys is ass and I hate
it but I would never call it slop
because you can feel Eric Kryky's
passion radiating off the screen. You
can feel Eric [music] Krypky's
passionate hatred of the [ __ ] in every
scene, in every line spoken. And to be
frank, the success of the show probably
makes him hate the [ __ ] even more cuz
he made an entire show about how the
[ __ ] are subhuman at best. You know,
their only purpose is to be used as the
sexual play things for
>> Jimmy people and they loved it. That's
the thing. They the [ __ ] they welcomed
it and they loved it and in his eyes
that makes them even more pathetic and
even more disgusting. Welcome to Derry
on the other hand, there's no soul here.
This is algorithm driven. You might say,
"No, the show is still anti-white. The
major theme is that white people are the
real evil in the world, worse than
actual demons from hell." And to that I
say, that's just sort of the bare
minimum, isn't it? That's just standard.
That's not going above and beyond.
They're not going above and beyond like
Krypia does. I would even say that
they're not going as above and beyond as
Stephen King does. And it's based off
the [ __ ] he's written. They do not have
the dedication as Stephen King does to
pedophilia where he's going to write in
painful detail a child orgy into his
books which the Goyam shall then defend
with, oh no, it's representative of
their shared trauma and [ __ ]
>> They need to become adults to escape
Penny Wise's little in between realm.
And so they they lose their adulthood.
They lose their childhood by having sex
with Beverly.
>> Couldn't do that for a group hug. Had to
be through them [ __ ] This was
actually based on real life Epstein
Island events. It was Stephen Hawkins,
Stephen King, and Donald Trump. They
were all [ __ ] and the climax of the
of the [ __ ] was so intense that they
had no choice but to cry afterwards.
Stephen Hawin was like, "Boohoo, who
boohoo." I really enjoyed having gay sex
with you guys. I truly enjoyed my
homosexual experience having gay anal
sex with you men. So, Welcome to Derry
was created by two Argentinians and one
New York Jew. And you can really feel
the intense battle here between the Jews
and the the soldiers that Hitler left
behind. This is probably the best scene
in the entire show. The inciting
incident. Penny Wise, he like takes a
boy and all the other kids in the town,
they like hear his voice coming from the
sewers and [ __ ] After hearing the
voice, the little Jew boy goes to his
acidic religious parents and he's like,
"Papa, is it possible that someone could
kidnap a child and keep them in secret
underground sewer tunnels? Is that
possible?" And his dad's like, "Ma,
don't listen to the boys." Me dad's a
lampshade. Me mom's a bar of soap.
>> Your grandparents escaped Bookenwalt.
Their entire families murdered the skin
of Jewish prisoners
used for lampshades.
>> To me, that's already crazy enough that
the the mention of the lampshade in the
HBO show, HBO allowed that. But what's
even crazier is that the next scene, the
Jewish boy is in bed and Penny Wisey
shapeshifts into the Jewish lampshade.
What? How the [ __ ] is this happening?
How did this get past anyone, dude?
What? There's no way they did this
unironically. Okay, so we got a show
about an evil killer demon clown. He
feeds on fear set during the Cold War,
arguably the most fearful time in
American history. Now, imagine that I'm
pitching this to you and you are Jeffrey
Epstein. Put yourself into the mind of a
Jeffrey Epstein for a second here. Now,
this sounds pretty [ __ ] to you, doesn't
it, Jeffrey? Why? Because there isn't
enough black people in it. So instead of
focusing on Dark Tower or Penny Wise or
Maturine or Deadlights or any of the
cosmic elements that were in the book,
instead we're going to focus on black
civil rights because that's more
interesting than all that other
[ __ ] And it doesn't even go
anywhere. Like there are whole plot arcs
about black people experiencing racism
that doesn't [ __ ] go anywhere. They
just have to remind you that racism is a
thing. One of the plot lines is that a
black man gets blamed for Pennywise
brutally killing a bunch of kids. Easy,
partner.
>> I uh hate.
>> And then he like escapes prison and for
the rest of the show he is just a
fugitive and nothing [ __ ] comes of
it. The police never look for him. The
FBI doesn't get involved. Law
enforcement of this universe thinks this
guy has brutally killed five children,
right? He was like ripping their limbs
off and they would have been partially
eaten. This would have been a [ __ ]
national story. I mean, I reckon the
president probably would have made an
address if this guy escaped custody.
Now, say what you want about Stephen
King's relationship with Jeffrey
Epstein. All right. But this guy knew
how to kidnap children, he knew how to
make them disappear, cuz he thought,
hey, if once every 27 years 20 kids are
brutally murdered in this town, someone
is bound to notice that as a pattern.
So, he specifically wrote into the books
that Penny Wise psychically [ __ ] with
everyone in Derry, so they don't give a
[ __ ] about the murders. But that detail
was less important than having a racism
plot that goes nowhere. The showrunners
want to say like, "Oh, well, Penny
Wise's crime gets covered up because a
black man gets blamed for it, but then
the black man that got blamed for it
then escapes custody and then no one
cares." It's like, "Okay, dude." There's
a plot line in this about a woman who
thinks that Penny Wise is a
reincarnation of her dead father because
he uses the same body, right? So, she
manipulates events in the show to draw
Pennywise out and give him victims. This
is like a genuinely interesting idea
that they dedicate a solid four to five
minutes to and then because they, you
know, they needed to make space for the
love story between the the Jewish boy
and the chubby blonde cyclops. The show
has two major plot lines. The kids plot
line. They're all going to school. You
know, she gets in with the popular kids
and she has to like prank her lame
friend who gets bullied because her dad
was cut up and put in a pickle jars. Did
him like sorbet. But then she like
reconnects with her lame friends and she
like scares all of the bullies and
they're all going like, "Oh no." They
actually thought this was worth
dedicating time to over the second plot
line, which is that the US military is
going to capture Penny Wise and then
they're going to put him in a bomb and
drop him on Russia. The main characters
here, you got Dexter's dad, you got
Super Army Soldier, and then you've got
like a black psychic mind if you would.
I'll be honest, I do not remember any of
the characters names other than like
Pennywise. So, I will purely be
referring to them as their physical
descriptions. When it comes to
storytelling for me, as a general rule,
I don't like wasted characters, plot
threads, and generally time. Now, I
appreciate that there is inevitably
waste. So, if the if the show is
generally good, I just chalk it up to
like world building and
characterization. Like in Breaking Bad
had Marie, she was stealing all those
spoons. Hanky had like the mineral thing
going on. That doesn't go anywhere. With
Welcome to Dairy, the whole show is just
waste product. You could probably cut a
solid 75% of everything that happens.
You probably just watch like episodes
three, seven, and eight. I feel like you
get a pretty good picture. And that's
because the entire show is designed to
set up Pennywise horror sequences. And
the writers clearly didn't give a [ __ ]
about anything outside of that to the
point where I would have just made it an
anthology. Like, if your main goal is to
make horror [ __ ] and that's all you care
about, you don't care about story, you
don't care about characters, then just
make an anthology and focus purely on
the horror, nothing else. Each episode
is a different character involved in a
different setpiece with Pennywise.
That's all you needed to do. So, the
plot is that Dexter's dad has gathered
the strongest soldiers from all across
America because as a boy, he was
Boinking, some Native American girl, and
she tells them the ancient history where
Penny Wise killed them all by taking on
the form they feared the most, the white
man. So, they took a bunch of ancient
crystals and they put them around the
town. So, he's trapped there forever.
And now, as ancestors of those great
heroes, it is their holy duty to keep
the locations of the crystals, which
only they know, hidden from the psychic
alien that they live on the same block
as. Probably a bad idea to live in his
neighborhood. All right, if you don't
want him finding out, I'll be honest.
You specifically said he read your mind
and took on the form of the white man.
You said that it was it was your story.
If that wasn't bad enough, they all also
have physical maps that show exactly
where the pillars are. But don't worry,
this actually makes perfect sense. They
have to stay in Derry because otherwise
they wouldn't be able to have their
special Indian meetup every 27 years
where they don't discuss plans to kill
Penny Wise or plans to save anyone.
Instead, what they do is they just tally
up how many people died and then they
just leave and that's it.
>> How many died at the black spot? >> 23.
>> 23.
>> And how many children? >> 17.
>> 17. >> Well,
[sighs] see you [ __ ] asses in 27 years.
>> Why are you living in this town, you
[ __ ] you living in the town actively
jeopardizes the one thing you think
you're doing. At the end of the show,
the chief Indian, she goes up to the sup
the super army soldier. She's like, "You
need to join the Indian order."
>> I would like for both of you to join us.
Make sure that your old friends or
anybody else for that matter never tries
to reopen that cage.
>> It's like, what the [ __ ] are you going
to do? If Penny Wise genuinely wanted to
get rid of the pillars, he abs [ __ ]
lutely could. He's a mind readader. He
can control them, too. He literally
gaslights a woman in this show into
doing missions for him and he never once
thinks about using her to get rid of the
pillars. I mean, think he couldn't do
that every single cycle. The guy's a
shape shifter. You should never tell
anyone about the pillars and just
[ __ ] leave the town. The only reason
why the military are in the position to
[ __ ] around with the pillars is because
you specifically told the general about
them. So, now that the general knows
they exist, what he's going to do is
he's going to use the dream team of
black psychic man and super army soldier
to psychically locate the pillars, which
once again lends credence to the idea
that Penny Wise could definitely [ __ ]
do it. So, what the Indians do in order
to stop this is they just send some guy
in there to do nothing and then get
captured. And then the psychic just
immediately raped him. Like actually,
physically robbed him. The Indians suck.
They [ __ ] suck. They They achieve
literally nothing. The world would
actually be more safe if they weren't
alive. So the army are going to force
this Indian man to lead them to Penny
Wise for some reason that I don't
remember. So his chieftain, he gives him
like an anti- Pennywise dagger in order
to keep him safe. Nobody has ever
attempted to kill Penny Wise with the
dagger, but whatever. They'd rather just
watch kids die year on year than
attempted to do anything about it.
They're really the heroes here. So the
military follow this guy into Penny
Wise's lair, and Penny Wise proceeds to
kill everyone. But simultaneously, all
of the kids from the other plot line
that nobody gives a [ __ ] about, they're
all running around in the sewer. the
super army soldier. He sees these kids
and he is reminded of his Israeli
military programming. So he goes, "I'm
going to [ __ ] blow these little
away." But he misses and he kills his
friend and then he beats his son.
>> You would.
>> You are not me.
>> Yeah, I know that. I know I'm not you.
>> Cuz I would never let my friends die. I
would never let my friends die.
>> Oh, she mad, y'all.
>> These innocent kids who would never ever
abandon one of their friends. Um,
thankfully the friend that the uh black
kid abandoned in the sewers to die
actually survived. Luckily, the Indian's
dagger, it protected her from Pennywise
because the Indian just like he like
left it on the ground. He just he just
decided to leave it on the ground
instead of keeping it on him. This
dagger is totally integral to the plot,
too. So, I don't know what the [ __ ] he
was going to do if she hadn't picked it
up. Like, what was your plan? You were
going to go back into Penny Wise's
sewers with no protection. You were
going to try and get it. So, the
military's big plan is that they're
going to find all of the pillars, right?
And they're going to move them towards
the center of Derry whilst remaining
equidistant from one another, trapping
Penny Wise into a smaller pen so they
can lock him inside of a bomb and then
drop him on Russia. Totally foolproof.
Penny Wise is clearly shown to be
incapable of getting even within five
meters of these [ __ ] things. So, I
don't really see the issue with that
plan whatsoever. In fact, I don't know
why the Indians never tried it. He can't
get past the edge of the barrier. So, as
long as you're just standing on the
outside, there's quite literally nothing
he can do. In fact, this plan was so
good that the writers had to knock it on
the head. Actually, this is the twist.
Dexter's dad, he doesn't want to shrink
the cage. He secretly wants to unleash
Penny Wise onto America. Why? Wait for
it. To stop racism.
>> You see what's happening out there,
Leroy? Americans are at each other's
throats and it's only getting worse.
Anti-New crazies, the women's movement,
race riots.
>> And also maybe the women I don't know.
He has two reasons. His two reasons are
race riots, women's movement. Are you
trying to stop the women's movement? [laughter]
[laughter]
Are you trying to stop the women's
movement or is Penny Wise going to ensue
the women's movement happens? Maybe,
maybe I've read this, right? Maybe he
wants Penny Wise to do more race riots.
I don't know. Maybe he wants Penny Wise
to stop the women's movement and do more
race riots. Maybe he's really the hero
of this story.
>> Americans have stopped hearing one
another. They only want to fight over
who gets which piece of the damn pie
while the rest of the world eats us
alive. And the one thing that makes
people really listen is fear.
>> Dude, this character is such a [ __ ]
goofy [ __ ] Fear. The show is set during
the Cold War. How much fear do you
[ __ ] need? There's not even any
[ __ ] logic to it. The guy just
started a [ __ ] race riot that got a
bunch of black airmen killed like a day
ago. Also, Penny Wise is about to go
into hibernation, so he's going to have
like 20 He's got 20 minutes. He's going
to have 20 minutes of fear time, and
within that time, they will have, in
fact, stopped racism. And all of the
hyper racist soldiers uh who had to be
in the show for the sake of the writer
civil rights cap plot, they're just
totally cool with the idea of unleashing
a hell demon onto white children in
order to stop racism. This show
definitively cements Penny Wise as the
biggest fraud in horror. This guy is
ass. He's supposed to be an Eldrich
demon god from another dimension and yet
the biggest threat to his life is a
10-year-old with a tire iron. Penny Wise
doesn't really have like any internal
logic whatsoever. So, he seemingly has
no physical or mental limits, but he
gets beaten up by children. He's warping
reality on a fairly grand scale and then
he gets beaten up by a child. In the
movie, he gets beat by people not being
scared of him, but the show either
forgets about that or doesn't give a
[ __ ] There is a character in this show
who is literally incapable of feeling
fear. The psychic looks inside of his
brain and actually says that he is
physically incapable of fear. This never
comes up ever again, by the way. It
doesn't allow him to fight Pennywise. It
doesn't allow him to damage Pennywise.
He shoots Penny Wise's head off in the
final episode and Penny Wise doesn't
give a [ __ ] He just regenerates
immediately. I mean, the Losers Club,
which was at the time made up of literal
children, they were killing this guy by
shooting him in the head with a
slingshot. Now, in the books, Penny Wise
doesn't give a [ __ ] if he's scared of
him or not. After all, he is a bus-sized
spider. They have to use the Chuddy
ritual, which basically puts you in like
a COD lobby with Penny Wise, and whoever
gets roasted the hardest dies. Penny
Wise's tactic usually is he turns into
Frankenstein. Then he just says the N
word to your face.
>> You [ __ ] [ __ ]
>> But they cut that from the movie, so
it's totally unclear how they actually
beat him. The simple fact is that Penny
Wise is just as strong or as weak as the
plot needs him to be. In the final
episode, Penny Wise, he shows up at the
high school and he either turns the
principal into a little dummy or he was
10 feet tall the whole time. Guy's
playing for the damn San Anton
basketballers. He kidnaps all of the
children and despite being able to
teleport himself and others, he chooses
the horsedrawn carriage method of
transportation because it's more on
theme. It's more fun this way. So, the
kids who have the dagger, they chase
Penny Wise in a truck to kill him.
>> You don't know how to drive? It's fine.
My uncle Mike has a truck. Did he let
you drive it? >> No.
>> No.
>> I've been roaming around. I was [music]
looking down and all I see
>> not even 5 seconds into this
assassination attempt, the group is
already coming apart because the dagger,
it makes people crazy. So now we have to
sit through some fake character drama
between characters who have no
chemistry. is literally just like,
"You're not my real friends." Yeah, no
[ __ ] You've known each other for a
[ __ ] weekend. The most egregious part
of the entire show is where they reveal
that Penny Wise is totally cerminous.
Meaning, he sees the past, the present,
and future at the same time.
>> Tomorrow, yesterday, it's all the same
for little Pennywise.
>> Now, I actually don't get how as a
Hollywood writer, you don't understand
the implication of this. I am a mentally
disabled person on the internet, and I
understand. He says this and then
literally in the next scene he is
expressing extreme confusion over the
black psychic mind raping him. Who am I?
What is this? Like how, man? How could
that even possibly be the case? You just
explained directly to the [ __ ] camera
that you see the future. How can you
possibly be surprised by this? You
should have already seen this. You
should have lived through this already.
How could It means that every action he
takes in the show, he knows the outcome
of the action before he takes it. At a
certain point, you have to just conclude
that he's intentionally [ __ ] himself
over. I mean, even as he's explaining
this concept to the girl, he is
simultaneously also unable to kill her
because he wasted so much time
explaining this concept and then he
still chooses to do it anyway. Penny
Wise is a sort of pantomime villain
because his one goal is to stop himself
from dying in the future. But instead of
doing that, he spends most of his time
doing bits and rage baiting. Like he'll
trap you in an infinite Walmart or he'll
turn your eyes into slugs. And at the
same time that you're doing this bit,
you are actually complaining to her
about her son killing you and you are
also simultaneously being killed by her
son and you still decided to do the bit.
He's rage baiting black kids on the
phone. He's calling them up and he's
making monkey noises. He's talking about
how black meat is sweet. Dog meat tastes
twice as sweet.
>> What the [ __ ] are you doing, you goofy
[ __ ] These kids are raping and killing
you right now. Right now. And you're
[ __ ] around. The black kid is the
father of the guy who is in the future
calling you a to your [ __ ] face and
you're on the phone talking about
sucking sweet black dick. Jesus
>> to him the past, present, and future are
all the same. What if he does see time
[music] differently?
What if he can go backwards?
>> The writers seem to think that they have
written time travel. That's not how it
works. If you wanted time travel, you
should have just written that. Nothing
matters anyway. You can't just give this
guy limitless time travel when he's
fighting children. There's no reason he
couldn't just go back an hour and try
again. Why does he even travel back this
far at all? Why doesn't he just stay in
the 80s and try and beat the kids who
actually [ __ ] killed him? He had
opportunities. He just spent the whole
movie [ __ ] around. Which was fine
before I knew that he could actually see
the future the whole time. So he was
going, "Oh, these Oh, [ __ ] These kids
kill me in 3 days. Better turn myself
into a projector. Better turn myself
into a home video. What were you
thinking? Why were you doing these
bits?" This is why I hate Hollywood
writers. I'm not putting more effort
into their writing than they did. This
is why I never support these writer
strikes. They get paid $400,000 a year
and they think they think they deserve
more money. You deserve to be shocked. I
don't understand how you don't do a
cursory glance over the script and go,
"Hm, the big reveal actually ruins the
entire show and the movie. Should we
remove it?" Nah, don't bother. Those
guys would never notice. Those dumb
guys, they would never know. [laughter]
Well, guess what? This guy did know. All
right, maybe I'm not a guy. All the
other boys on Twitter are like, "Oh,
wow. What a crazy reveal. How awesome."
No, no, [ __ ] you, bro. Actually, [ __ ]
you. So, the kids, they put the pillar
in and Penny Wise dies. They're really
struggling cuz cuz it's like pushing
back on them. It's raising up on them.
They need a ghost to help them. Indians
didn't need a ghost. In fact, in their
flashback, there was there didn't seem
to be any [ __ ] effort. Indians had a
real easy road, and they still managed
to [ __ ] it up. So, the show ends. The
Super Army soldier, his wife, and his
son. They're taking over from the Indian
chieftain to keep watch over Pennywise,
which of course translates to him doing
absolutely [ __ ] nothing with his
life. The man did not even warn his
grandson about this demon clown. He had
to figure he had to figure all this [ __ ]
out on his own. I'll be a little bit
nice here. I don't necessarily think the
writers suck. I just don't think they
care about anything they're writing. If
I was making a guess, I would say, this
is just a guess. The two Argentinians
probably aren't super invested in
writing about black civil rights in
America. So, I reckon the jam probably
came up with that idea. Anytime you have
like a non-American writer on one of
these things, you have to put like the
the gem on them. You have to stick a jam
on them. It's like putting the [ __ ]
Israel personality core on GLaDOS. Stop
a finger for herself. Once again, there
should have just been an anthology so
they could focus on the horror instead
of having to create like [ __ ] fake
characters to pat out the run time.
Classic example of Hollywood writers
thinking they can do anything and have
talent. Just stick to what you're good
at, bro. Raping people, grooming miners.
I don't know. Oh, just stick to that
kind of thing. This is truly the age of mid.
mid.
>> I feel like I came out as non-binary at
the worst time in the worst way. [music]
>> I was raped. Okay.
>> Happened during a mental health crisis.
Discourse online is the most volatile
it's ever been. And my gender expression
seems to be the least accepted type.
Feminine with body hair. >> Hello.
