¿Se debería cancelar a la paisana Jacinta? La odies o no, todos nos hemos matado de risa con el célebre personaje creado por Jorge Benavides, que sería algo así como la versión peruana grosera y vulgar de la mexicana “India María”. La eterna amante del Wasaberto ha sido la reina de la comedia en las pantallas chicas de los peruanos durante buena parte de la década de los 2000.

What is a woman? – Blunt Right-Wing Propaganda
A friend of mine hyped me around this film, that due to its critical stance towards transgenderism, it had been blamed by many as «transphobic». Not only that but we also saw the trailer, which gave us a small bite of the upcoming controversy and one of the interviewees appearing there was Jordan Peterson himself.

Las 5 Amenazas al Hispanismo Peruano
Hay dos cuentos de terror según el gran maestro de terror John Carpenter. El primero trata de un grupo de jovenes sentados alrededor de una fogata en el bosque, donde uno de ellos advierte que hay un monstruo en las afueras. Acechándolos. El segundo cuento tiene la misma locación y los mismos personajes, solo que esta vez el narrador les dice a sus compañeros que el monstruo está incrustado en el corazón de todos y que nosotros nos estámos acechando desde la oscuridad de nuestras almas.
