Kerala’s Kiss Of Love Campaign’s Rude, Hilarious, Perfect Response to Trolls Aka Get Lost, You Grass

October 29, 2014

By Nisha Susan

kissoflove

You could not have possibly missed the news that a bunch of young people in Kerala have declared November 2 as Kiss Day, the day in which they plan to gather in Kochi to kiss in public, as a protest against a recent spate of moral policing in the state, particularly this incident, the kind of incident which I now think of as 30 paisa xerox moral policing. In case you’ve missed it (what you’re on a digital sabbath?), then head right over with your lips puckered, if not to Kochi, then to their Facebook page. The sheer, frenetic activity on the page is deserving of an umma, by itself. Here is wishing success to their back-to-our-bloody-minded-who-are-you-to-tell-me-what-to-do Malayali-roots endeavour.

While gallivanting on this page, we spotted a delightful manifesto buried in the comments shared created by a dude called Adarsh Animator, written by Farmis Hashim here for all trolls hovering over the Kiss of Love community(!). This FAQ, he says, was created to ensure you dogs (umm, he didn’t say that) dont ask the same things dobara. It is very hard to recreate the wonderfully straight-faced and utterly Mary Beard worthy, poda-pulle-type answers to smug troll questions. But here’s one stricken-by-the-giggles attempt.

1. നിന്റെ അമ്മയേയും പെങ്ങളേയും കൊണ്ടു വരുമോടാ?
ഉ: അമ്മയും പെങ്ങളും രണ്ട് സ്വതന്ത്ര വ്യക്തിത്വങ്ങൾ ആണ്. അവർക്ക് താല്പര്യമുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ പങ്കെടുക്കും. അവർ പങ്കെടുക്കുന്നത് കൊണ്ട് എന്റെ കുടുംബത്തിലെ സദാചാരം ഇടിഞ്ഞ് വീഴില്ല. അവിടെ പങ്കെടുക്കുന്ന ഓരോരുത്തരും ഇത് പോലെ ആരുടേയെങ്കിലുമൊക്കെ പെങ്ങളും, അമ്മയും, അച്ഛനും, സഹോദരനുമൊക്കെ ആണ്.
Translation:
Q: Yo, will you be bringing your mother or sister?
A: ‘Mother’ and ‘sister’ are two independent individuals. If they want to, they will participate. If they participate my family’s morals will not collapse. Everyone who participates similiarly will be someone’s sister, mother, father or brother.

2. നിന്റെ പെങ്ങളെ എനിക്ക് ചുംബിക്കാൻ തരുമോടാ?
ഉ: നിന്നെക്കണ്ട് അവൾക്ക് ചുംബിക്കാൻ തോന്നിയെങ്കിൽ അതിൽ ‘ഞാൻ’ ഇടപെടേണ്ട കാര്യമില്ല. പക്ഷേ അവൾക്ക് കൂടെ തോന്നണം!. ചുംബനം എന്നത് രണ്ട് പേർക്കും സ്വീകാര്യമായിരിക്കണം. അല്ലാതെ കയറി ചുംബിക്കാൻ നിന്ന് കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ അവളുടെ ചെരിപ്പിന്റെ കനം അളക്കാം. ആൾക്കൂട്ടത്തിനു മുമ്പിൽ നിന്ന് അന്തസ്സോടെ അത് മേടിക്കാൻ തയ്യാറുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ വരിക. ഇനി പരസ്പരം സമ്മതത്തോടെ ഉമ്മ വെക്കാനാണെങ്കിലും ആൾക്കൂട്ടത്തിനു മുമ്പിൽ അത് ചെയ്യാനുള്ള ധൈര്യമുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ വരിക.
Translation:
Q: Yo, will you give me your sister to kiss?
A: If she feels like kissing you I have no need to interfere. But she should feel like kissing you. The kiss must be welcome to both parties. Otherwise, if you pile on and try to kiss her you might end up measuring the thickness of her slippers. If you are prepared to receive that in front of everyone, come on over. If you feel brave enough to kiss with mutual consent then come on over.

3. ചുംബനം മാത്രേയുള്ളോ? വേറെ കലാപരിപാടി ഒന്നുമില്ലേ?ഉ: ഒരു പാട് തുണ്ട്പടങ്ങൾ കാണുന്നത് കൊണ്ടുള്ള കുഴപ്പമാണിത്. ചുംബനം കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ നേരെ ലിംഗം എടുത്ത് യോനിക്കകത്ത് ഇടുകയല്ല ഹോമോ സാപിയൻസ് ചെയ്യാറ്. അതൊക്കെ പോൺ മൂവികളിൽ മാത്രമേ ഉള്ളൂ. ചുംബനം എന്നത് സ്നേഹം പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കാനുള്ള ഒരുപാധി മാത്രമാണ്.
Translation
Q: Only kissing? No other ‘cultural’ performances?
A: This is what happens if you watch too much porn. Sticking your penis into a vagina immediately after a kiss is not what homo sapiens do. That only happens in porn movies. A kiss is only a kind of demonstration of love.

4. ആളെ ഞാൻ കൊണ്ടരണോ അതോ സംഘാടകർ തരുമോ?
ഉ: ബിവറേജിൽ ക്യൂ നിന്ന് മദ്യം വാങ്ങുന്നത് പോലെ കാശു കൊടുത്താൽ കിട്ടുന്ന ലൈംഗികത മാത്രം ശീലിച്ചു പോയത് കൊണ്ടാണ് ഇങ്ങനെ ഉള്ള ചോദ്യങ്ങൾ വരുന്നത്. ജനിച്ചിട്ട് ഇത്രയും വയസ്സായിട്ട് ഒരാളെക്കൊണ്ട് പോലും തന്നെ പ്രണയിപ്പിക്കാനുള്ള ‘സ്റ്റഫ്’ കയ്യിലില്ലെങ്കിൽ ഇപ്പരിപാടിക്ക് ഇറങ്ങാതിരിക്കുന്നതാണ് നല്ലത്. ഇനി അഥവാ ഒരു പെണ്ണിനെ പ്രണയിക്കാൻ കിട്ടിയാൽ പോലും നിനക്ക് ചുംബിക്കാൻ കഴിയില്ല. അവൾ മൂത്രമൊഴിക്കുന്ന വീഡിയോ വല്ലതും വാട്ട്സാപ്പിൽ ഷെയർ ചെയ്ത് കിട്ടിയാൽ സ്വയംഭോഗം ചെയ്ത് കാമം തീർക്കാനേ നിന്നെക്കൊണ്ട് കഴിയൂ.
Translation
Q: Should I bring someone or will the organisers make arrangements?
A: You ask this question because you are used to consuming only the sexuality you’ve paid for, in the same way you consume the liquor you stand in the Beverage queue for. If in all the years you’ve lived you’ve not acquired the ‘stuff’ to make someone desire you then best not to venture on this enterprise. At this point even if you find a woman to love you won’t be able to kiss her. You will probably be able to masturbate — only if someone leaks a Whatsapp video of her peeing.

5. നിന്റെയൊക്കെ മാതാപിതാക്കളെ വിളിച്ചോണ്ട് വരുമോടാ ഇതിനൊക്കെ?
ഉ: മാതാപിതാക്കൾ ഇന്നേ വരെ ചെയ്യാത്ത ഒരു കാര്യമാണല്ലോ ഉമ്മ വെക്കൽ! നീന്റെ പകുതി പുംബീജമായി പിതാവിന്റെ ലിംഗത്തിലൂടെ സഞ്ചരിച്ച് അമ്മയുടെ അണ്ഡത്തിൽ കയറുന്ന സമയത്തിനും മുമ്പ് തുടങ്ങിയതാണ് അവരീ ബിസിനസ്. അങ്ങിനെ ഉള്ള നീ ഒരു പെണ്ണിനെ / ആണിനെ ഉമ്മ വെക്കുന്നത് കണ്ട് അവർക്ക് സ്ഖലിക്കുക ഒന്നുമില്ല.
Translation
Q: Yo, will you guys bring your mother-father?
A: As if mother-father have never kissed till this day. They started this business long before half your genes travelled from your father’s penis to your mother’s uterus. So they aren’t going to die if you, who was created thus, kisses a woman/a man.

    You know this is what happens if you have a severe liberal thoughts. It is really pathetic on which way it is moving. I dont see any difference between the local “shashi” in kerala who goes inside a porn move theatre and a young liberal radical youth kissing in public. Well if you have any doubts..Just check the language used

    Q. Is it so important, that if you love a person, you should kiss them at first place (as you believe intercourse is not needed in all cases)? 

    Q. Why not for a change love withought touching them on their body? doesn’t it not work?

    Q. BTW who are you to assume what makes a man susceptible to masturbation?. Do you have the supernatural power or got the grace of god finding out the testosterone movements?

We have nothing to gain by using sexual adventurism. Its not an entertainment, its part of life, it doesn’t need a propoganda, like your religion. You dont need to be a missionary for Sexual Education.  Give importance to relationships beyond thinking from a sexual plateau. Accept brain can be used in other functional areas not just one sided.

    @samarjeet_n Mdasmumbai
    I hate certain moral policing of the society which treat humans rudely or discriminate sections of society which is understood. But here I am bit disappointed at the materailistic desires of certain section of youth who really claim them to be the modern “self-liberal” “the rationalist” “common-sense” generation. or else in kerala we love to say the “new-generation” in short. I should say the self-proclaimed youngsters here issuing diktats to people who doesn’t like their bohemian attitude even without any kinds of tolerance.

    As an youngster I agree with you. When I hit the rational thinking, i understood that sex is not about entertainment, show off, promotion. But a union meant to be so personal like your religion (which you dont boast off) I don’t find any rational point in these youngsters which is shameful.

    I wonder what sort of ‘poda pulle’ answers must have the lady given to the non – trollish questions … ( if she has , for that matter ! )
    These  questions stated above are certainly trollish but I find it difficult to believe that there are no legitimate questions as well .
    I for once don’t understand what the Hue & Cry is about  — >
    1. Is it about some sort of a ‘freedom of expression ‘ thingie that  these days seem to be a used as a weapon by those who least understand the importance of it.
    2. Does it kind of certify that  a ‘kiss / smooch / snog / chumma ‘  in public places elevates love to a  higher ground or anything ?

    3. Personally aren’t there enough critical issues facing the youth & especially women  such as harassment, dowries, rapes & molestations  that these youth have to focus on such a non essential thing  ?

    4. Would these organizers  stop at legitimizing Kissing in public and carry on with their lives or would they take a social cause and  fight for more ‘demands’ … Chances are they wouldn’t toe the line
    5.  The funny thing is most lovebirds for some reason  go on about  as if they are the reincarnated versions of Romeo & Juliet  .. while I truly hope they don’t meet the ends of the original lovebirds I at least hope they take inspiration from the fact that even Romeo & Juliet had better ways to display their love rather than do public shenanigans .
    Sometimes I think those who know the least about love are the most who try to express it .
