Welcome to HCwDB!


HCwDB is getting a bunch of new readers lately, and if you’re new, I’d like to take a moment to welcome you to the hottie/douchey dialectics.

Come for the douchebags. Stay for the boobies.

You may ask: What about the people in the pics? Isn’t it mean to make fun of them?

What you must realize is that the people in these pics do not exist. Once we reclaim them and tag them our own, the image ceases to be linked to its originary past and becomes a fully denatured abstraction, a hallucination that echoes the real only in the most superficial of senses.

The hottie/douchey dialectics are our spectral Rorshach test. Our deepest mirror stage, refracting the Primal Scene through the lens of the name-brand cultural capital of the mass media age.

We pluck the “image” from the ether. We recontextualize its meaning through collective participation. And, in so doing, our oppositional phantasm generates a completely new meaning devoid of the singular authorial intent of those nominally “in” the pictures we mark our own.

Over time, many linguistic short cuts have developed to describe the many permutations of choadscrote and the hotts that love them. Terms like “Bleeth” and “Scrote” may seem confusing at first. The best way to pick up the language is to either read the admittedly outdated FAQ, or to buy the HCwDB book, which has a glossary of terms in the back.

Or just keep reading.

All will become clear in due time.
