Ruby Rhod was a radio personality, and considering the huge creeps and pieces of shit who dominated talk radio in the 90s (Bubba the love sponge, Howard Stern, Opie and Anthony, etc.), it tracks. The only difference was that Ruby was androgynous and pansexual-coded while all of these dudes were classic cishet insecure men.

Yeh. God, that whole genre of men radio shock jocks is so disgusting. Like looking back its incredible that they were just there as part of the public. Controversial, sure, but imagine Asmongold was somehow a sex symbol and was broadcast every city in america over the radio for an hour every morning. that's sorta kinda what Howard Stern was.

At least now I can choose to ignore most of these horrible people. If you were driving somewhere and turned on the radio to check the weather or traffic updates? Inescapable.
