I remember going to Horizon boards on gamefaqs around launch day, so many triggered alt right freaks dissing the game and Aloy.

Cases of this stuff is growing and it's not the extreme. Granted, it's rare but it's gaining traction There's a couple of people that made the news several times that identify themselves as black even though they're pure white. So I guess transracial is becoming a thing. Beyond the reasonable. Intolerance? What are you rambling on about? Just because I don't like SJWs doesn't mean I'm intolerant as you put it or in the general sense. I just don't like idiots who believe in dumb shit like culture appropriation or that all men are sexist or hundreds of made up pronouns for genders *shrugs I'll treat anyone just like I do anyone else in general. |
Maybe is not your case but I frequently see people using this weird rare cases to undermine an entire movement or minority, like if someone indentifies itself as a woman while being a man (something that has been happening for centuries despite the repression) then someone statrs exposing rare dumb cases like those you mention and put them all in the same bag just to justify the feelling of disgust they feel about gay and/or transgender people.

i see that too but I was trying to point out that the extreme stuff is the area that I'm not okay with because it's really out there and would never fit into a society outside of their group of friends but I'm fine with normal trans people because they have a real shot at fitting in with society and living as they identify themselves as. At some point, social justice or progressivism needs to put the brakes on some stuff.

Going on questionable web sites to find fringe stories as representitive of the trans-community is quite low.
Just googling trans-ageism the results I get are that story and people using the term to denigrate actual trans-people, comparing gender fluidity with denying one's day of birth.
I'd suggest you started reading about the LGBT community (and everything in general) elsewhere, because by reading on the Daily Mail you're asking to get duped. Or whatever MrCTV is.

Those people have hundreds of article about them because of how absurd it is and the articles basically say the same damn thing about them. I just linked the first ones that were there. The websites don't matter because these people are widely covered. Google "transage 6 year old" for the 50 something year old and "trans dragon lady" for the dragon. I knew of them because of a trans youtuber menitoned them and I looked them up. Its not like I was just exploring transphobia.com and came across this stuff.

Conservatives use these words to ward off progress. They hate progress because It makes them uncomfortable.
People are stupid they brand each other with stupid names while the people at the top take advantage of everything. The top feminists sjws deplorable Republican Democrats socialists communists whatever don't really care about ideology they care about them dolla bills and they get richer while the public gets stupider. Their propaganda and games are just a distraction they distract people with wars and sides and people fail to see the real issues like poverty and education and homelessness etc
Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

So, these are websites you deliberately want to distance yourself from, but still posted as sources... maybe that's not a smart thing to do.
I actually did some googling and found out about Eva Tiamat Baphomet Medusa and Stefonknee Wolscht, whose names you omitted.
Turns out that yes, most of the reporting does come from right-wing sites showing them for shock value, conviniently omitting their work as activists.
In Stefonknee's case her "play therapy" is conveniently conflated with her "believing she's six!! Shock and horror!"
Unsurprisingly this has resulted in death threats.
I've seen this tactic time and again, to paint trans people as "freaks" to be paraded for your amusement.
It's quite repulsive and I'd advise you to stop posting such rubbish.
As an aside, which Youtuber was that?
Kind of curious on what rabbit hole one would have to go down to end up on MrCTV.


I hate SJW's, but at the same time the term is becoming overused and watered down to the point of irrelivency. I've even seen some people hilariously proud of being labeled in such a way. "Isn't being a social justice warrior a good thing? lololol." Not realizing the negative stigma behind it or the fact that people use that term ironically. But much like "bigot, racist, sexist, etc" the term is becoming a sort of catch all smear to those who want to slander without an actual retort, and becoming almost watered down at this point where the word is sort of losing all its meaning and impact. Nowadays I hear the term "such and such is a racist!" thrown around so much that I merely shrug my shoulders and wonder "well, is this person ACTUALLY a racist or is does this person just have a few minor veiws they disagree with and thus have decided to smear/discredit them without any basis for doing so?" Bit of a boy who cried wolf situation, but I digress..
Going back to "SJW" I never much thought it was a very fitting term anyway. Something like - "language police", "reverse racist" (as I found that many of these people turn out to be big hypocrites as thinnly veiled anti-white male), or "cultural Authoritarian" to me is much more fitting and has more of a negative termonology to it."
Edit: For the record, when it comes to SJW's in gaming, I'm not one of these gaming/entertainment purists who goes around screaming "NO womens leads in mah games!" I'm 100% welcoming of that, or trans, minorities, whoever else. As long as the game/movie/show is fun and has a good story, who cares? There should be games for EVERYBODY to relate to (though I don't necessarily believe x protagonist needs to be your particular gender/race in order to identify w/them but that's another story). Where I start to have issue is when it is turned around the other way where somehow masculine guys, or male leads saving damsels in distress or scantily clad women is somehow a terrible thing (ie, the Anita Sarkeesians of the world). In other words, I have no issue with your idea of what a game/movie should be, even if it's not my cup of tea, and YOU shouldn't infringe and impose on mine. This goes back to my classical liberal/libertarian nature of "live and let live."

While I'm not going to go so far as to belittle anything feminists or SJW's or whoever is doing. Many of their so called "victories" are nothing to do with them but purely capitalism. Takes recent Star Wars movies. Like everyone is getting cast with many minorities and female leads. Are they doing this because SJW's won or to apeas them or whatever you want to say? Hell no. In an interview one of the people in charge said they have a female lead to bring in female audiences. They know that the star wars fans will go and see the movie no matter who is cast becuase they are die hards. They have no fear of loosing them. Heck, the prequal trilogy proved that. If star wars fans still get hyped to the extreme on anything star wars related after the prequals, you know they are hooked for life regardless. So they cast females and minorities not for story/equality reasons but to draw in new fans. Plain and simple. I mean how many star wars toy commercials do you see these days that have a little girl staring in them? Or look at other disney movies. Namely allt he animated ones. Who is the lead in them? Girls. It's girls saving the day in the movies, not the princes anymore. They are doing this cause they see an untapped market, not because they care about equality. All it takes is a leaked emails or billing rights, ect ot show that any equality talk in Hollywood is just a public face. |
Completely agreed. Hollywood is simply catering to what sells (obviously) or does its best to do so. Can't wrong them for that. Just goes to show how accepting the vast majority of the general public is open to either gender being the lead role.
