Hugh Hefner is my enemy.
Hey guys welcome back to my channel and today we're going
to be talking about Hugh Hefner and the Amazon Prime docu-series entitled
American Playboy: The Hugh Hefner story. So why is Hugh Hefner? That is the
question that's been keeping me up every single night that I've watched that
stup*d docu-series about him. Not only does the docu-series glorify him, that's
to be expected, but they also try really hard to preserve his rather creepy
legacy as a serial predator. Yeah I said it. He was dating women in their late
teens and early 20s when he was pushing 40, 50, 60 and beyond. And as a side note just
because someone's legal it doesn't mean it's moral you fucking creep. Most of us
don't remember that part of his life because we only remember him as like the
80 something-year-old with a bunch of blondes on his arm. And I guess that image
is not only pitiable, but I guess also kind of harmless and
cute because he's so old that he can't really be dangerous, but come on he was
abusing those women up until his last dying breath! And I'm sure he didn't
abuse all the women that he slept with or that lived with him, but that's
because abusers choose their victims! But before we get into Holly Madison's
testimonies, let's talk about the doc. The documentary was published in or released
in April 2017, just a few months before has eventual passing in September of
that year. It glorifies him as some sort of journalistic activist and sexual
liberator, which he most definitely was not, and we knew that before this
documentary even came out because Holly Madison's memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole,
came out in 2015! However, women weren't really being believed at that time and
if anything this book made people even more interested in the life of Hugh
Hefner. However, in the year of our Lord 2020 we know that this docu-series is a
bunch of BS and is obviously just damage control! Not only do they try to
end the documentary on a high note, when clearly Playboy as a company
spiralling and in debt, but they also don't have a single bad thing to say
about Hef - he has no faults. All the people in the documentary have their
nose shoved up Hef's ass and it doesn't help that that in the documentary all
the people giving testimonies are either his family members, close friends or
employees! However, in the episode about feminism Hef finally realizes that
feminists hate him. "The role that you have selected for women is degrading to
women because you choose to see women as sex objects not as full human beings."
*Hef trying to cut in*
"The day that you are willing to come out here with a Cottontail attached to your
rear end..." Hey guys I'm just coming on while I'm editing and I just think it's so sad, but
also kind of funny that the same things that feminists were arguing back then in
the 60s we're still fighting for today! Gloria actually makes a brief
appearance in the documentary, showing that Hefner wasn't such a great guy
after all. And I guess honestly it makes sense that
the documentary glorifies Hef because people watching this aren't looking to
hear bad things about him, but to see him as one of America's great entrepreneurs.
And playboy itself has never really been concerned with women's rights or
feminism, despite what those early articles might say. The docu-series has
no incentive to pan the feminist critics because they already know that we hate
them. And I say fine, more for me to laugh at! So at the beginning of the
documentary we see Hef for what he is - a nerd. He was definitely not a playboy. He
had mommy issues. And he ended up marrying his high school sweetheart. And
that was it. He was simply a lonely nerd who liked to objectify women in a column
entitled co-ed of the month published by his college's magazine.
It took him until after college, when he was married with child to start living
his playboy lifestyle because "the American Dream didn't promise me what it
said I deserved". So he transformed himself and
decided to open his own magazine and decided to use it naked women to sell
things, which of course hasn't been done before, and he used nude photos of
Marilyn Monroe without her consent, charming. I thought that this was going
to be a big thing in the docu-series, but we never know or never hear how
Marilyn feels/felt about this because it doesn't matter. He used her body to
further his career and that's just business baby. So the early years at
Playboy were phenomenally successful because you couldn't just get nudie
magazines anywhere, and especially not with the girl-next-door types that Hugh
had. His whole playboy of the month - oh sorry - Playmate of the Month was seen in
the documentary or talked about in the documentary as a "genius idea". Another one
of his genius ideas was that he published progressive leaning articles in his
magazine even though we all know that Hef was definitely a Trump supporter! And
the docu-series paints this out as Hef being "woke" when we all know that he just
wanted a Pulitzer! He even famously said after he gets his star on the Hollywood Walk
of Fame that it's "better than a Pulitzer" when we all know that he's fucking
lying! He wanted people to take the magazine seriously, but let's be real
people just wanted to see the girls! And he built his empire not on award winning
journalism, but on the backs of young women, what a fucking asshole. The part of
the documentary that made me roll my eyes the hardest was in the final
episode when one of the ex goons says that "Hef single-handedly started the
sexual revolution" like suck on my balls! He didn't start shit! It was women of
color, the lgbtqia+ community, trans women, they started the goddamn sexual
revolution period. Women were already posing nude for magazines before Hef and
those assholes don't claim to be the bringers of the goddamn sexual
revolution! Hef only championed himself as an activist as a marketing scheme
when in reality he is probably one of the
sleaziest human beings on the planet, or at least was. And if he does see himself
as a liberator, which obviously he does, that I have nothing to say to that
except he only wanted to liberate white thin women to sell his magazine, make
money, and to justify his own sexual desires. And yes he was pro-abortion and
Pro birth control because those things saved him for paying child support for
18 years. And I am, and we all should be, more surprised that he doesn't have more
children! He not only helped to sexualize women more than they already were and to
basically raise a whole other generation of men to see women just as body parts,
he also made women give up careers as vets, teachers, and nurses in order to try
to win their chance at the lottery that is Playment of the
Month slash year, which let's be honest is rigged anyway because the award for
Playmate of the Year and month usually goes to Hef's girlfriend at the time. He
also forced women into terrible and compromising positions as bunnies in
his various clubs and casinos. And why do we champion the Playboy Clubs with their
ridiculously dressed waitresses as chic and progressive, but treat made cafes in
Japan like some sort of disgusting perverted fantasy! They're the same
fucking thing you racists! There was not one woman working at the magazine who
wasn't a glorified secretary until his daughter came along to take over as CEO.
And this all should be very telling and that the only positions that a woman
could take up at his company was either a waitress, a secretary, or a playmate, and
one of these secretaries ended up actually killing herself because he
didn't want to take the fall! Fuck you! Now to talk about Hef's love life. Hef
what's obviously polyamorous and that's fine there's nothing wrong with
polyamory, but a lot of his girlfriend's weren't cool with it. And he would also
get very jealous and didn't like when his girlfriends would also date around,
which is not okay and doesn't make any fucking sense.
And to repeat, he was a predator. The documentary has no shame in saying these
girls ages, which were like 19 and 20 when he was already well into his
fifties. And they frame it as romantic, as Hef being the teen he always
wanted to be because remember, he was a nerd! Hef was a nerd. He wasn't attractive.
He didn't get girls, so instead he decided to create a media empire to
ensnare young women so he could finally get the girls that he always wanted to
when he was a kid - our hero everyone. And in the documentary when he gets married
for a second time people are like "he finally has time to
be the father that you know he always wanted to be". He had time the first
fucking time, but instead he wanted to live out his high school fantasies! And even
funnier is when he gets married for a third fucking time and they say the
exact goddamn things. They say "oh you know he finally has time to slow down
and be with his wife", yeah because he's like fucking dying! The only good news is
that at the end of the day Hef's company is not doing well. It's going bankrupt,
it's in debt, and honestly that makes sense to me because Hef only wanted the
company for himself, to use it in his lifetime. He knew playboy couldn't go on
forever. He knew that it would eventually become obsolete and he was fucking fine
with that because the only reason the company even existed was to please him,
make him money, and let him fuck around. I do feel bad for his daughter, his first
child, who basically grew up without a father
and then inherited a deteriorating company. His sons will be fine I'm sure.
Not only do they have the name and connections, and at least maybe a trust
fund, but also you know Hef seemed to be a real father to them and wanted to be
around, unlike with his first marriage and first child. So that's it. That's
everything wrong with Hugh Hefner, um watch the documentary if you want to.
There are some interesting parts. I mean I think it does make you feel conflicted
about Hef as a person, but after you learn that he started dating
like 18 year olds when he was like 40, it's like what the fuck just stop. You
know they don't even try to like really like examine that because it's creepy!
They don't even really reenact those scenes with the actors they have playing
Hef and his girlfriends after he gets to be a certain age because they know if
they depicted it with the actors it's gonna be fucking creepy, so they just don't.
That's it. If you want to know more about Hef I suggest going down to
the sources in the description. I put like some things that Holly Madison has
said about him. I'm happy for her for speaking out. I definitely believe her
and I think we all should. So yeah that's it. Thanks for watching! If you like the
