The Saddest AZN alive [My Sexual Encounter with the Hipster Grifter]

This is a blog post about the popular meme The Hipster Grifter.

There once was an AZN from Utah
Who had dreams of moving to the city
breaking free of her oppressive (and possibly sexually abusive) Mormon parents who adopted her
and working for a relevant entertainment/media company (via Vice Magazine)
and most importantly ‘fucking a lot of dudes’ who were ‘hot indie bros’

She lied a lot
Pretended she had cancer and was gonna die
Just so people would ‘feel sad for her’
Stole money, credit cards, checks, and cell phones from bros who ‘got to put their penis inside of her vagina’
She sexted them and was aggressive
Understanding what a bro truly needs
which is the security of knowing that a girl wants to ‘be fucked’

Was the kind of person who creepily ‘really wanted 2 hang out with u’
and actually followed through and called u 100 times
Think she would have benefited from ‘the dorm environment’
at a small Liberal Arts College
instead of sending aggressive sexts to bros all the time

Meme via A.L. Feri Photography


I actually knew her while I was living in Brooklyn
We met each other at McCarren Pool
I was wearing Old Navy board shorts
and she came up to me and told me
‘I want to pull ur penis out through ur short-hole
and give u a blow and a tug’

I was immediately turned on because that was back when my ‘Yellow Fever’
was at its absolute worst
I also saw that she had ‘a rowdy chest tattoo’ and I immediately got
erotic visions of ‘cumming on that shit’

AltCum target via Gawker


We went back to my place and we watched a popular French New Wave indie classic film
I was impressed by her career and her knowledge of everything relevant
Eventually she ‘had sex with me’ – 2fast & 2furiously
The bed was making the sound of the sample in the popular song “Paper Planes”
But it was the kind of thing where I ‘lost interest in having sex with her’
because it was the ’sad’ kind of dirty sex
where u feel like a girl is ‘down to do anything’
because she is ‘all sad on the inside’
and feels like the only way she knows how to ‘feel good about herself’
is when there is ’some bro’s cock inside of her’
I am a meaningful bro and ‘don’t want to be just another bro’

So my peen went limp
And I took her out for a meal
and reassured her that I ‘wanted a real, emotional relationship’ with her
and then she told me she was dying of cancer
and I felt bad because I had never experienced sex with some1 who was terminally ill
and thought ‘damn, maybe terminally ill ppl are really just DOWN2FUCK like krayzee’

She asked me for a blank check
and I gave it to her, but it didn’t matter because I have a trust fund
and she only took $2000 from me
Think that means she ‘loved’ me because she didn’t steal $5K+

Srsly hope she’s not sick, though
Would feel ‘pretty bad’
and might even consider marrying her
so that she can have my bad ass health insurance [via $15 co-pay]

I miss her
I think I could have changed her
and reconciled all of her debt
and turned her into the free-spirited mom with a meaningful life in the city
that she always wanted.
I would have gotten a matching chest tatty
and we would put the same chest tatty on each of our children
as soon as they exited the womb.

Not sure if this is an ‘authentic sad story’
or just some girl who wanted ‘to be internet famous’
or possibly ’some sort of hoax’ by an AZN graduate art student

If I were this AZN, I would ‘turn myself in’
and write a movie script about my meaningful life
and how I was ‘just a misunderstood alt from rural Utah/suburbia’
Demand to be played by Karen O/the Juno Girl/Margaret Cho/Sandra Oh/the AZN in Rushmore

She was already in a successful viral video. Think that means u can ‘make it’ in Hollywood/Bollywood [via Slumdog]. Sort of wish I worked for the Salt Lake City police so I could put my film degree to use by putting together this type of video media. Feel like I would really be helping the world.

I think every1 has ’socially puzzling’ people enter their lives’ at least once every 2 year. Like the kind who ’steals ur friends laptop’ or ‘mysteriously enters/leaves town one day.’ The kind of person who feels ‘really happy’ when they are ’social climbing’ and u don’t rlly ‘understand WHY’ they seem s0 sad/alone. Fortunately, these types of people are only around for 1-3 months. U just have to be sure not to a) have sex with them b) make them dependent on u for things like ‘fun’, ‘meeting new people’, ‘transportation services’, or ‘drugs.’ They sort of just ‘fade out of ur life’ when they realize that u ‘don’t find them interesting as a person’/they can’t ’steal/leech n e thing from u.’ U just have to be brave enough not to return their 5th text.

BE CAREFUL YALL. srsly. so many ppl out there with bad intentions. just hang out on the internet all day 2 keep urself safe. do no give out ur credit card info unless u r buying a kewl t-shirt or shoes or something.

Do u ‘feel sad’ for the AZN? or does she sound ‘too good to be true’?
Do u think she is ‘hot’? Do u think she is ‘a disgusting person’?
Do u think she will forever change the AZN stereotype?
Do u think she is going to ‘go to jail’?
Or will some Alternative Video startup give her a ’show’ on their website, like ‘Kewl New Bands (with the HIPSTER GRIFTER): Live from the Girl Talk Concert’? Glad that we are guaranteed a ‘where are they now…?’ post about her in 1.36 years.
Hope she is okay…

Feel sad abt ppl who ‘value’ stuff that I ‘take 4 granted’ like social awareness, money, semi-healthy relationships with friends who aren’t too krazie, and general social acceptance.

miss u Grifty
(Does n e 1 know what ‘grifter’ means?)
Please leave ur real/fake story about how u knew her in the comments.

This has a blog post about the popular meme The Hipster Grifter, also known by her human name Kari Ferrell. She is allegedly related to popular standup comedian Will Ferrell.

    steps to being a hipster grifter:

    1 – be a moderately attractive girl or just any ugly AZN (since it doesn’t matter to bearded bros in brooklyn apparently)

    2 – tell bearded bros at bars you can through hotdogs at them via their vagina hallway / or get handjobs via yo mouf

    3 – ask for moneys, steal shit, ect

    4 – profit!

    Dear Carles

    Fuck you.

    I don’t know if you think that your blog is funny, relevant, ironic, post-modern, or any other asinine “hipster” buzzword, your blog boils down to the same old racist, misogynistic, hate spewing bullshit that has plagued America since its inception.

    i mean, what the fuck, blipsters? yellow fever? this entire post?!?! we’re all different, we know. you dont have to sort us into whites and not whites, “bros” and not “bros”, heteronormatives and “gheis” or whatever the fuck you say.

    our generation has been called the least motivated, and most privileged ever to have existed. We are living in an age where we are connected to each other like no other generation of humanity has been. you can interact with people across the planet NEARLY INSTANTANEOUSLY VIA SATELLITES THAT ORBIT THE FUCKING PLANET, AND ALL YOU HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE IS THE MOST VULGAR, DIVISIVE, AND (MOST DAMNINGLY) POINTLESS DRIBBLE THAT LEAKS OUT OF YOUR ID DOMINATED BRAIN.

    you are an embarrassment to our generation, and if history remembers you (which I sure as fuck hope it doesn’t) it will be as the death knell of white heterosexual male hegemony.

    and I don’t give a shit if you think this is Art. If this is the best art you can produce you might want to consider a different career, perhaps in the KKK.

    you are only culturally relevant in the sense that you represent the puerile, emotionally stunted, intellectually repressed, and self absorbed America that cares more about listening to hip music and wearing cool clothes that what is happening in the world.

    there is nothing wrong with hipsters being fashionable, having educations, or being artistic, as long as they are contributing something useful to our society.

    but you carles are slime. you make nothing new, you just recycle old hatred, and draw lines of class and race and sexuality. you are what is wrong with hipsters. and you should be ashamed.

    and fuck all of you commenters who encourage this bullshit. YOU SHOULD BE OUTRAGED. I will never buy anything from anyone who pays you to advertise.

    @vivi, I am mad. I’m mad as hell. And you should be too.

    this person is speaking for our generation, and he describes us as a pack of superficial and cynical “hip” consumers that care about nothing outside of our shallow culture of Dj’s, Parties, Drugs, Hot New Bands, Hot New Trends, and Easily-Digestible-Regurgitated-Memes that keep a healthy ironic distance so that we don’t have to actually feel anything about what we are saying and doing.

    But that isn’t all we are, right? we also have real feelings, right? we have empathy, right? we care about the people around us that are hurting and even the people we can’t see, don’t we?

    more than caring, we realize that world outside of our American youth culture is crumbling.

    150,000 farmers have committed suicide in India because of debt since 1997 (its on huffpo now). america is locked in two wars of aggression, and one endless war against a faceless, nationless threat. our national debt amounts to $36,676.46 per citizen, (and no, i’m not some tea bagging douche, that doesn’t mean we aren’t all radically in debt though) Hundreds of thousands of Americans are losing their homes because of debt.

    and now this girl has captured our attention, she lied and cheated her way to a life she couldn’t afford, and her world is crashing around her. she’s obviously in a lot of trouble. she obviously has mental problems, but she has also hurt a lot of people. this isn’t an easy situation and it doesn’t call for “ironic” detachment. we could be talking about inequality, this conversation could be about our failure to help americans in debt, or our failure Its not a fucking joke, these are peoples lives.

    but what is this discussion? yeah she’s hot. no she’s a fucking ugly asian, yeah i wanna come on her tits, haha, she can give me a handjob in her mouth.

    its pointless, racist, sexist, posturing hype so that carles can sell you all of the things on his sidebar.

    @Orion, The point is that the culture is sick. The blog brings attention to problems, like race perception, consumerism, self identification via brands, etc. in the hopes PEOPLE LIKE YOU GET MAD ABOUT IT. And do something, or at least change their view point.
    Racism can be funny. There is a line here that is hard to walk, and Carles walks it well. Making fun of someone because they are a different race is wrong. Making fun of racism, challenging peoples ideas about race, is healthy.
    You probably are well educated and went to a liberal arts college and felt good about the multi-culturalism that was forced on you. Good for you. Angry? Get off the internet and do something.

    @Orion,
    thanks for your opinion, it was refreshing.
    I don’t know if Carles is a racist or not. The problem is that his posts avert peoples attention from what is actually meaningful in life, like caring about others, to things that are “entertaining”. He is dumbing down our society and numbing it to things that are meaningful. He always presents things in a way that is easier to deal with, but far from realistic. Its easier to view this girl as an object or “meme” than it would be to think about the reality of the situation, which would probably be very troubling. He does this with all sorts of things.

    I feel like he’s stripping meaning from our society and replacing it with some sort of “false meaning” or search for meaning in all the wrong places.

    people are not memes, they are people. Everyone should be taken seriously, even if they go to ridiculous means to get attention. What is hardest for me to deal with about this site is he devaluation of human beings. Every other post turns people into some sort of spectacle to be dissected and picked apart by Carles who is obviously the ultimate critic. These types of posts are having a negative effect on a lot of the readers, given the disturbing responses about whether this girl is a “hot azn” or about how she wants to be fucked.
    There has to be better things to blog about, Carles.

    @Orion, bro. you don’t get it.

    keeping “a healthy ironic distance” numbs it all, fine. but that’s what it’s about. the best objective analysis is always done from a distance. personal investment in a issue always clouds your judgment with emotionally charged responses, impeding proper rational thought and the triumph of reason.

    being ready to get offended at the slightest hiccup doesn’t do anything in solving the problem, it adds to it, because it forces away what you may call the “hipsters” of the world. we don’t want to feel bad about stuff, as purile and meaningless as you may see that. so when “srs bznz” crops up like this, it’s really fucking nice to be able to think about it in this objectified manner, because we all find it leads to examination of the issues at hand in a manner grounded in detached logic. crls is just helping us all get there, and for people who don’t get it i can see how it comes across as blatant, crass, lowest-common-denominator, consumeristic tripe. because that’s what it is, and that’s how we want it.

    issues that have moral or ethical charge shouldn’t be reserved to the ivory towers filled with the vicariously hyper-offended, steadfastly politically correct youth. i see HRO as allowing a community of motivated people to incorporate humanity into what they would call their “personal brand”. as much as bros go on about tugz and kewt azns, there’s more to it than that, and if you can’t see it, then your liberal education has got you no further than a weird haircut and a pair of birkies. this is the fucking future of activism.

    Dear OrionBro:

    aaaahahhhahahaha.

    U rlly don’t ‘get it,’ do u? Feel like no 1 ‘gets’ real satire n e more bc every1 tries 2 take everything so srsly bc they want to be seen as ‘educated/liberal/progressive/______.’

    Think this comment sets a new bar for ‘entrylvlrs’ who ‘think Carles posts shit srsly instead of posting what we should all be making fun of.’

    It’s called critical reading, & u should have learned abt it in ur Ivory Tower college in The City where u learned 2 b so ‘uptight.’

    Why do you think Carles uses ridiculous grammar, shortens words, makes up his own, and uses phrases like the ‘meme economy?’ In short, while Carles’ posts are meant to be ridiculed (Carles presents them for ridicule and ridicules them himself within the posts), I think it’s just as important to ridicule people like you.

    @Orion, i like carles but these comments are pretty gross.

    “there’s this little azn girl on my campus shuttle with a huuuuuuge face, and she always wears a big white floppy hat that just makes it look huger”

    “make a post showing like different sizes of asian faces”

    the worst is probably “pumpkin head
    [Reply]
    Smashing pumpkin”

    do you understand what you are saying? now you’re not just making fun of other races but also insinuating violence against an “azn’s fat head.” how is this different from the prejudice that frat bros or 4chan losers make into memes.

    like i said, i do like carles posts and i think he’s funny. but i agree with orion in some ways too, in the article she’s a person but carles turned her into an “azn.” then the readers of this blog don’t even realize she’s gone from a person to a dumb “altAzn” meme carles made up so they can distance themselves from her actual suffering and talk about the characteristics of people of her race instead of her as a person.

    now i feel like i have to end this with something dumb like

    //////~but thats just my 2 centz*~\\\\\\\\\ so people will know i’m not a dick and i ‘get’ hro. this is like.. po po mo. i’m not fifteen so i’m confused about how to end this.

    Orion is right in his analysis, and his facts are solid. The function of media, including HRO, is not entertainment but adjustment of the flow of capital, delivering advertisers consumers. HRO does not make its readers “aware,” “informed,” or even fundamentally reconsider notions of consumerism (which is the biggest thing it “criticizes,” right?) [It has however encouraged me to use many more quotation marks]

    Regardless of the inherent function of commercial media, there is a message delivered independently (sorry, McLuhan). I will say that it is unlikely that Carles holds particularly racist views- but rather categorically does. Even assuming the criticism and “social commentary” that is present here is agitational (and not in larger part for “entertainment’), it is focused on petty issues of amerikan class structures, without indicting the political economy at the root of these problems domestically and abroad. As Orion noted,

    “this isn’t an easy situation and it doesn’t call for “ironic” detachment. we could be talking about inequality, this conversation could be about our failure to help americans in debt, or our failure Its not a fucking joke, these are peoples lives.

    but what is this discussion? yeah she’s hot. no she’s a fucking ugly asian, yeah i wanna come on her tits, haha, she can give me a handjob in her mouth.

    its pointless, racist, sexist, posturing hype so that carles can sell you all of the things on his sidebar.”

    The result of Carles agitational approach (I am still being this generous, that it is not as absolutely reactionary as it could possibly be) is the racist, chauvinist discourse that reflects the attitude that justifies conditions the US imposes on the third world and its own second class citizens.

    Orion is right to be critical, but is ultimately caught in consternation without a broader perspective and certain analytical tools. Their frustration in defense of young, hip consumers is troubling because it attempts to reconcile bourgeois decadence with activism and class struggle- there is, in fact a problem with consuming for its own sake if the oppressive class is an enemy.

    “please don’t buy the hype”?

    Please read a god damn book, a whole one, you lazy fucking parasites.

    Allow me to log off the internet that 85% of the world will never interact with, by closing my laptop that I would never be able to afford without the benefit of rampant superprofiteering imperialism on the behalf of me and my fellow red white and blue blooded amerikans.

    @poststructuralistbro,

    “The result of Carles agitational approach is the racist, chauvinist discourse that reflects the attitude that justifies conditions the US imposes on the third world and its own second class citizens.”

    That’s the point, no? Carles’ “blog-voice” is simply an over exaggerated “mega-alt”; saying what many of us would assume someone must be thinking while doing “alt” things, thereby making his writing a commentary on the very things that you say he “promotes”. The post is not racist, it makes fun of the absurdity of racism. It is not sexist, it makes a mockery of sexism.

    Also this woman deserves all the hate directed at her, she did horribly dishonest things. Her actions warrant the view of her as “sub-human” because a decent human being would not do the things she did.

    @sFurrt,

    I believe you misquoted me, I don’t think I ever mentioned Carles “promot[ing]” anything, or anything about “sub-human.”

    Regardless,

    The point of the passage you quoted me on is not that the result of his approach is racism or chauvinism in his writing, but in the following replies, comments etc. I was giving him the credit whether deserved or not, that he is 100% genuinely satirical, (ironically) without the irony of the culture he lampoons. I was only agreeing with Orion in part- I do not think that Carles message is lost on his readers, they get the joke. Empirically though, his readership is racist and chauvinist, as well as classist, first worldist, and pathetically consumerist. Again, this is because categorically they are part of the global ruling class, and even among that, wealthy and decadently so. They do not support in any material way, the abolition of racism, chauvinism or any other issue of class struggle.

    However, this is just as I said that Carles views (in my analysis) are not particularly racist etc, but are categorically so. The commenters on “cumming on her tits” et al may not even be chauvinists in particular- the comments are probably for “ironic” effect- but they (the commenters) do undoubtedly support tyranny over women globally in their lives.

    Additionally,

    “Also this woman deserves all the hate directed at her, she did horribly dishonest things. Her actions warrant the view of her as “sub-human” because a decent human being would not do the things she did.”

    I did not at all touch on that, but my analysis is sociological more than any other approach and there is not much for me to say about personal choice. People are not independent of their material conditions, and hers were such that this happened. I will not claim sympathy for her, though nor will I claim much sympathy for the people she swindled. I do, however, think that there is more to deal with here than “hat[ing]” her and using her as a tabloid morality play. Sexually charged stories get passionate responses and this is not an exception. We need to go back and think for a moment about what exactly we want to take away from such a public tangle of cultural issues.

    @poststructuralistbro,

    the problem is in assuming that everyone who has a soapbox must use it to make the world a better place [via the ideology of the assumer] . this blog is just what it calls itself: hipster runoff, the detritus of a subculture; what ends up here is by definition the bad or at least silly side of a certain section of society. its true that many commenters do in fact embody some shitty attitudes, and hide them behind the veneer of “do i or dont i mean it” irony that embodies contemporary discourse. its def annoying to read. on the other hand, expecting this fucking garbage pail of a blog to be the site of serious intellectual ferment to move us past the attitudes that fuel carles’ very existence is clownshoes.

    now, i think this is all a really interesting discussion… i mean, i’ve always taken the view that Carles wasnt racist, and that when he says something like “wonder what job i’d have if i were poor/uneducated/a minority” this is sort’ve trying to to point out the unfortunate fact that it is harder for members of minorities (presumably mostly racial) to get well paid jobs in america. however, i also take the view that this is JUST A BLOG… and whilst this doesnt invalidate any discussion about what is being said… i think it’s the case that HRO is probably neither making a positive or negative influence on anything in the actual world.

    i read it a lot, find it very entertaining, but it hasnt changed my opinion on anything at all one bit. the people who made the racist comments were probably already shitheads before they read this post.
    and i’ve also always assumed that this blog was roughly 80% a joke. and that what it was satirising wasnt other races or modern apathy, but a certain kind of niche internet culture, of which we’re all a part on here, which is in fact both stupid and funny.

    i really care about people/the world… but chill guyz

    i met her a couple of years ago… she was a barmaid at a place i worked. she told me she was also a part time non sexual masseuse. i sort of recoiled at that but did my best not to offend. i don’t quite know how it happened but that night i found myself at her appartment, she was pretty straight forward with wanting to have sex with me but the thing i guess i’m one of those meaningful bros, sleeping with a girl i don’t find particularly attractive gets to be bad for me really fast so i don’t do that . so when she finally got out of the shower, next thing i know, also don’t quite know how it happened but we found ourselves at my appartment. she had to do a homework and did not have a computer… next thing i know i am showing her the ropes to the wonderful world of laptop djing/ she asked me to hax her ex bf’s voicemail / she tries to sing-me up for a sweet telephone plan/ a playlist we worked on mysteriously disappeared/ and that’s pretty much it, she left at that point i guess. my appartment is full of “interesting stuff” sort of like in the opening of that ray bradburry tv show and i don’t keep a tight inventory … would not be surprised if she took a pocketfull of that funky junk

    Dear H8r,

    Place the blame upon musicians, artists, and culutured youth. That will DEFINITELY solve all of the world’s problems.

    You complain about Carles nicknaming azns and blips, but take a gander in the ol’ looking glass. You are doing the exact same thing. I just seems “acceptable” when white people are subjected to taunting, doesn’t it?

    Point is… you are an ass hole. WE KNOW the world is fucked. Failure and mishandling don’t cling to a certain skin color, rather, these vile particles can flow through anyone’s veins.

    @poutineybopper69,

    a billion dollars says you’re white, and therefore have an opinion of racism based not on things that have happened to you but on what you wish people to perceive you as being.

    I’ll bet you try to say “…well my black friend…” a lot don’t you? Racism itself is not funny. Things like this which mock racism are not only funny, but do more than just saying “eff racism” to stop it. The “racism” on this site shows how absolutely stupid racism is.

    h8 u “not racist”Bro

    @sFurrt, “[Showing] how absolutely stupid racism is” is NOT racism. Therefore, “racism is funny sometimes” is still a stupid comment. Unless you just think racism is funny, sometimes.
