it's giving (っ◔◡◔)っWhite Boy Summer by Chet Hanks

yeah the book is from the 70s written by a white male so that kinda explains the racism, sexism and homophobia that is prevalent here. it was just ok but this review will only be my complaints *will probably contain spoilers* and seem like i wanted to kill myself will reading it but i didn't. if u disagree... did i ask? no. don't inform me.

i feel like Ken Kesey tried to shed light on the racist and homophobic views society had in the 60s and comment on that but to me it didn't work because most of the time shit people say and do just sound like statements he makes that he never tries to tell us they are terrible and wrong views. for example black people are treated like slaves and thought to be stupid and illiterate and that's it. doesn't lead to Kesey making us think that oh no that's a bad view to have please get it together what is wrong with you. the only thing bad here to him is that nurse Ratched a woman is treating them like that not that they are treated like that.

soooooo nurse Ratched... i support women's rights but most importantly women's wrongs. look yeah she is a bitch and way too strict and no i don't support electroshock therapy but also some of these people are pieces of shit so do i care? eh not that much. a lot of people who work at psychiatric wards sadly don't see the patients as human beings which is terrible and u should choose a different career path if u seem them as subhuman.
she is an army nurse which honestly to me explains why she is so tough. she also works in a mental institution in the 60s and things were sometimes worse than they are here sooo.... what i hate about her use here is that the author 1. has beef with her basically running the place and honestly his problem is that she is a woman and not that she is kinda cruel. if she waaasss a boooyyy no one would have had that big of an issue with her actions 2. wants her to represent the oppression and emasculation of men from society which is bullshit and men honestly need to stop trying to convince us that alpha and beta males are a thing and that society wants to make them all beta males. no one cares enough about u. stop bullying each other fucking Andrew Tate looking ass bitches. Ken Kesey would 100% be a reddit mod if he was a 20 year old man in 2022.
what we know about her is that she is a bitch, is a powerful, strong and independent woman which is bad and that she has big boobs that she doesn't flaunt. love the descriptions of her tits:
"a mistake was made somehow in manufacturing, putting those big, womanly breasts on what would of otherwise been a perfect work, and you can see how bitter she is about it."
"...ripped her uniform all the way down the front, screaming again when the two nippled circles started from her chest and swelled out and out, bigger than anybody had ever even imagined, warm and pink in the light."

need i say more? the moral of the story here is that we should be wives or prostitutes i guess. choose your fighter.

the female nurses are representing the emasculation of men sfmsdjkfds and the female prostitutes the good sub women that want to serve and uplift men kjfnsfnsj. instead of having male dominance he was like i'm gonna have a middle woman, the perfect woman because i wasn't sexist enough before that. so now you may ask, what to him is the perfect woman? the Japanese nurse. shocking i know....she is smart, careering but most importantly not stronger than the men. she doesn't have much power so she can't do shit which to Ken it's the ideal scenario...

ugh let's talk about Chapter 3. boy did i hate it. no we didn't have to read about their fishing trip. i get it McMurphy is lidl Jesus. it was boring and it constantly had gross comments that were targeted at Candy. eewwwww. yeah yeah i get it she is blonde and apparently a sub little whore and they want her to join them. perverts. Ken probably jerked off while writing it.

In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed the diagnosis of “homosexuality” from the second edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM).

Harding Harding Harding. apparently a closeted homosexual with an inferiority complex. his wife deserved better. bro ur wife is beautiful what the fuck is your problem? i honestly don't understand this man's issues or why his pretty dainty hands is supposed to make me think he is effeminate and gay. he did also say “We are victims of a matriarchy here my friends.” so fuck this guy. oh no a female nurse how could they let this happen m̶̗͉̒̿̈͐͘y̸̡͚͖̪̱̬̋͐̚ͅ ̶̣̼̳̪̟̳͌͒̓̈͑̀͝͝f̷̛̜͓̲̜͈̯̻̠̌̆̾͂͋͑̀̚͝r̶̯̺͒̍̂̂͒̈̈́̆̓͝á̴̢̧͙̗̺̟̠̮̪͑͜g̴̻̹̣̰͊̍̆̃̄͒̅̕͜ī̸̗̫̼͎͍̠͕͗̊́ͅl̷͖͚̝̻̼̹̦̮̿̽̑̔̄̾͠ë̷͙̜̤͇̤̤́̿̈́̽̀͑͗͝ͅ ̵̛̦̇͋̏̉͊̔͑̕m̴̤̌͒̊̅ȧ̸̝̙̋͗̉̌̊̽́̓ş̴̛͚̩̺͖̼͇̗͑̾̇̎c̷̯̎͊̏̾̕͝u̵̧̝̜̗͍͓̫̲͔͛l̵̪̱̙͇̠̰̒͊̕͝͠i̸̱̾̓n̴̢͚̹͙̘̋i̸̧̘̭̼̱͍̲̞̟͗t̷̘̉y̴̛͓͂̆̀͒̚͝͠ ̵̢̗̯̟̜̦̝̼͚̇̈́̈́̈͋̍͊̀ȉ̸̯̙͙̠'̸̖̗̪̻̪̦͊̀̎́̿̔͜m̷̢̠͉̩̳͔͔͕̯̖̅̾ ̶̹͝s̸̩̭͎̳̹̆͊̽͆̀h̵̢̨̞̰̝͛̒̈́̈́̒̊͝͝ͅͅŕ̶̼̭̣̟̘̠̳̎́́̀͐̇͑͜͜͝i̷͖̤̻̺̜͑̓̾n̵̡̫̼̦͚͔̩̝̳͗̓̎̽͊͜͠ḱ̸̢̬̜͚̼̣̪͂͗̃̃͝ͅĩ̴̡̧̛͙̟̙̰̩̗̭̪͊͘ṇ̶̨̫̺͈̤̺͚͍̏̾̈́̋̋̿̕͠g̶͙͚͓͈̳̭̻͎͋̆̍͆͑͜ ̴̨̛̝̭̥͖̻̟̟̠̬̏̓̅̔̽͛̚̚̚w̵̛͈̪̗̭͑i̸̡̞͓̩̗̎̎̚͠l̵̺̙̝̄l̴͚̦̥͈͔̟̥͗͋̉ ̶͇̥̭̤̹̜̫̮̑͜͜s̸̞̑̽̊̃͋͋͗͛̕o̵̖̤̤̠̝̓̎̋̐͜m̸̜̫̪̗͔̍̈́͗̚͜e̷̮̜͓̩̱̭̒̂̈̒̽͜ö̴̧̪͔͔̤̤͕́̊̏̾̊̐̽̊̈́͘n̶̖̩̞̹͋ͅȩ̶̡̭̩̉̇͗̇̃̌͋͊̿͠ͅ ̴̡̳͍̰̜̠̻̘͒̃͝͝ͅṱ̶̎̄̏͋͗̂̉̐̕̕ͅh̵͈̝̊̽̎̎́i̵̝͂̔n̸̗̲͍̥͇̔͐̽͊͑̕͘͝ͅǩ̵̛̛͔͇̣̙̄̀̔͠ ̸͖͓̣̜̙̙̠̑͐̌̓̾̒́͝o̵̯͒̐͘f̵̏̀͋̍̉̿͊͠ͅ ̵̡̓̐͆̆o̷͉̞͓̩̘͖̟̼̮̟͒̓̔̑͐̿̊̅̑͘ū̷̞͕͑͐̒̿ŕ̸̢̪̞͝͠ ̶̩̳̀̈̑̏̑͠n̶̯͚͙͔̼͖̼̥̙͑͌̈́̄̀̆͜ė̷͓̭̬̱̜̪͕̜̓̀̽̋͘͠e̸̙̜̻̰̞̠̻̥̞̽͌͑̎̄̂ͅḍ̸̡̢̞̹͕̱͉̺̪͛̕ ̷̢̡̖̞͍͎̳͚͍̳̈́̌̈͠ṱ̸̳̼͑͌́̇͋o̸͂͑̕͝ͅ ̵̙̖͎̯̮͙̗̈̒͐̏̀̈́͒̆͐͘͜͜c̵̢̣̟̝͈̺̣̬̞̿͒͒̈̋̎̈̎̓̚ͅo̶̥̠̻͈̞͙̗̩̽̀͝ň̷̦͈t̷̞̪͖̪̤̼͔͇̄̐͜r̵̮̤̙͚̺̞̟̃̃o̵̧͕͐͘l̶̬̦͕̠͍͕͓͈͋͗͒̈́͋͘ ̵͙̂͆̋͛̂̿̄͆é̵̱̱̈̑v̶̢͈̹̯̣͒ę̵̺͇̳̬̩͍̣̉͑͑r̸͇͈̽͑̇͗y̴͑͂͊̊̒̇͂͝ͅt̴̢̛̩͔̅͒͊̂̆̕ḧ̵̨̢͓̱͍̬̗̮̘͆̉̒̈́̄̿͠ḯ̷̦͂̐͘n̵͇̱͋͂͑͒̑͋͗̂ͅg̷̺͓̒͛͂͆͒͘.̶͎͇̞̗̈́͗͋̈́̈́̚.̷̝̌̓̓͑̄̂̍̿̾͒.̸̫̓̋͐̃̆̚͝.̸͍̌̃͒̍͐̇̚


let's talk about our hero, our Jesus figure McMurphy. he went to the ward not because he needs to be there but because he didn't want to go for 6 months to a prison work farm to serve his sentence after being found guilty of battery and gambling. he is also a statutory rapist but he got away with that. this disgusting man went to psych ward because he didn't feel like working and was like you know what, i'm gonna mess with the whole ward and the people that are trying to do their jobs. yes sadly the wards back then were terribly run but to me that doesn't excuse him bring booze and prostitutes to the ward. some patients are there for a reason and need to be treated, stop fucking with their treatment. you ain't the fucking messiah that is here to save them. he is the reason that Billy committed suicide. his fault...

i can keep going but this is already way too long so i'm gonna stop. yes i saw the movie years ago and i remember liking it. no i haven't seen Ratched but someday i might. just got my period so i needed to vent, hope you enjoyed it, bye.
