Is There Anything We Can Do To Reduce The Number Of Kens in the World?

Apologies to all the Kens reading this but I'm just a straight, white male who goes by the name samoanjoes on this forum.

I'm well aware of the large number of different names who roam our streets. But let's face it, there are just too many Kens. We need to start amplifying the names of the virtually nameless. We need more Gregs, Samuels, Adams and Franks in this world. The name Ken has now been used as a form of toxic name privilege.

It's not your fault your name is Ken, but you have to admit that having that name has given you a head start in life. We need less Kens in this world to make things fair for all names.

The solution is everyone named Ken has to change his name to Kowalski. We need more Kowalskis.

We really don't.

While we're asking these questions, let's figure out how to get more Ryus.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (53117) a year ago

I can think of at least two Ryus as a last name, although one is fictitious.

What about the Chads and the Stacys or Becky's?

Signed, million man.

[–] samoanjoes (53117) a year ago

Yes for Stacys. No to Becky and Chad. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Is there anything we can do to reduce the number of asinine posts on Movie Chat?

This is a parody thread.

Yes, I know. I was responding to you because the other post didn't deserve a response. I assumed that you would know I wasn't referring to this post, but I have been rather grumpy lately, so sorry for the confusion.

Oh, I thought you missed the other post because it was already on the second page.

You could always add, ‘Please note that this is a parody thread’. It would save a lot of confusion.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (53117) a year ago

The thread topic is so ridiculous, I assumed people would know.

[–] AndyKing1967 (35095) a year ago

Unfortunately, there are some that take everything literally. That’s why I always include the caveat going forward.

If enough people stop responding to the asinine posts, then hopefully the trolls will stop posting them. Troll posts are getting more replies than discussions about movies. There are good movie related discussions that get no replies or only 1 or 2 replies. Those who want more movie related discussion should try and find and reply to the movie threads that have little or no replies. That is my two cents.

I agree.

I don’t know any Kens. Haven’t met one in years. I think mostly old dudes have that name.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (53117) a year ago

I know a few Kenneths that are younger than me.

Reduce Ken Jeong first of all. He is unfunny.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (53117) a year ago

His height is already reduced.

[–] AndyKing1967 (35095) a year ago

I’m all for having more Samuel Adams 🍻

If "Kens" is slang for mannequins, then I fully agree, less mannequins is what the world needs now.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (53117) a year ago

And what's worse is when they're named Ken. No one likes Kennequins.

reply

[–] Wint3rFir3 (6931) a year ago

Or ManneKens, and in the case of real men named Ken, Men'o'Kens, because unlike Depeche Mode, some of us just Ken get enough.
