The Zizek Game
by rosalyster
It turns out that the people I know either think The Zizek Game is the greatest thing ever, or they think that I am a total shithead for writing about it. Someone also created an account on Medium specifically to tell me that I am the reason that “toxic masculinity” exists, which was very amazing.
What a world!

We boomers must play in another league.
I have never heard of (and have not now been moved to google) Žižek, MORRISSEY (Is that an acronym?), Radiohead, Banksy, Withnail and I, Bauhaus (band), Afrika Burn, the expression “garbage person,” Steampunk (why is this one really good?), the expression “grammar nerd,” the expression “grammar Nazi,” Cards Against Humanity, trance parties, William Gibson, Joy Division, CrossFit, or “The Mighty Boosh.”
Most comedians I can name are retired or dead.
I know little and care nothing about bongs, cocktails, magical realism, burlesque, or The God Delusion.
For “bunting” do you mean as in baseball or as in the Fourth of July?
For “sloths,” do you mean Megalonychidae, Bradypodidae, or both?
Hi Rosa. Fellow South African, currently in Toronto while I’m doing my PhD. Your Hairpin piece is a total hit here, and is how I found you. I’ve had a bunch of my friends email me to say that they will now be stealing your Zizek technique. Love it.
It’s doing the rounds, it’s very amusing.
