#thinkingtoomuch — Public Fediverse posts

@thatfrisiangirlish and I just had one of our "Thinking too much about media" talks and came to the conclusion that Jesse, James and Meowth are no more evil than your average Starbucks Barista.

Starbucks is almost certainly responsible for stealing the joy and futures of plenty of kids in South America and Africa. Coffee beans are generally harvested with Child Labor. A great deal of instutions in both Germany and the USA are invested into Israel. Before that they were invested in maintaining South African Apartheid.

Corps like Chic-fil-A have a vested interest in destabilizing Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa and make the death penalty for Gay People policy. People that work in these places are generally not considered evil because the other option for many minorities is often being homeless.

Truth be told Jesse and James are abysmal at their jobs. They could have walked through grass to get a pikachu faster. If we are being honest Jesse and James are dramatically less evil than the CEO of Team Rocket, who is absolutely evil, but not really personally. They generally are working part time jobs trying to make it by because Team R does not pay them a living wage.

Conclusion Jesse and James are less evil than your average Starbucks employee.
