Topic | Male powerlifter (Avi Silverberg) enters women's event, breaks record |
MrToothHasYou 04/25/23 3:09:02 PM #17 | Prestoff posted... Yeah the bold, that will probably be the only way to actually weed off bad faith actors and those who truly are Trans in good faith.Was it, though? Because if there was an actual problem of men pretending to identify as women in order to compete, you would expect that it would be more widespread than just this one guy, who was only doing it to prove a point. Itd be like if I went around taking all the change from every take a penny, leave a penny tray in order to prove the point that someone acting in bad faith might take advantage of these systems. Sure, no one is actually bothering to do that, and it isnt an actual problem, but it could be! Would that make me an asshole? Yes. Would it prove the point that rules need to be in place to stop the problem of bad actors from stealing all the pennies? No, because that isnt an actual problem that is happening. But all that discussion is a moot point, because he wasnt trying to make the point that the rules need to be hammered out and codified to protect womens athletic competitions from interference by bad actors, the point he (and the organization backing him) was trying to make is that trans women arent women, and any step that can be taken to make it harder for them to compete against cis women is a good and positive step. Because, of course, they are bigots. --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |

Topic | What is the STRANGEST movie you've seen? |
MrToothHasYou 04/23/23 7:53:06 PM #207 | Mr_hulk88 posted... But did you like itI wouldnt go so far as to say I liked it but it was worth a watch. Felt a bit too much like a short film that got padded out, and the cinematographic concept, while clever and definitely unnerving, isnt strong enough to carry the film for its entire runtime. Id compare and contrast it with Lynchs weirder stufflike Lynch, it has a story to tell but is far less concerned with the story than it is with creating a certain vibe for its audience to experience; unlike Lynch, who creates terror by showing us horrifying things and refusing to let us look away, Skinamarink more often opts to angle the camera away from whatever action is happening in the scene, almost as if threatening to show us what we dont want to see. In this way it is very good at creating incredibly tense moments, but I think that the conceit wears thin after a while. --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |

MrToothHasYou 04/19/23 2:06:12 PM #19 | I think the rise of reality tv and shows like The Simple Life, Newlyweds, and The Osbournes were the real beginning of the pulling back of veil of intrigue from celebrities, but the rise of social media profiles as avenues for fan outreach and brand marketing certainly hastened the process. --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |

MrToothHasYou 04/18/23 4:06:56 PM #53 | CyricZ posted... Where would you suggest I start?Someone else recommended Guards! Guards! and I think either that, Mort, or Equal Rites are the best starting points because they have the most interesting series arcs. You can use this nifty guide to follow each arc: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/5/0/AAVdKdAAEZQy.jpg Bottom line is, dont use just chronological order, and dont start with the Rincewind novels. --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |

MrToothHasYou 04/18/23 2:17:15 PM #11 | I mean I personally wouldnt because it doesnt make sense to me (like why even buy merch from a band you dont even like?), but caring about what other people are wearing makes even less sense to me than that, so.

MrToothHasYou 04/17/23 8:53:37 AM #22 | UnfairRepresent posted... No reason, it's just the image I had to hand.Im afraid I dont find this answer to be very satisfactory. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt but is there a particular reason why you're not answering the topic question and instead trying to derail it?I try not to make a practice of engaging with people on this site whom Ive identified as being overtly transphobic, so it behooves me to try to clarify these things. The fact that your reaction to me pointing out that you are (perhaps unintentionally) misgendering someone is to shrug your shoulders and accuse me of trying to derail the topic suggests that my time might be best spent simply tagging you appropriately so I know to avoid interacting with you in the future, and moving on. --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |

MrToothHasYou 04/07/23 10:14:10 AM #5 | GeraldDarko posted... What is that image supposed to add to the topic? What should we take away from what Musk supposedly said?The screenshot is showing that the NPR Twitter account has been tagged as US state-affiliated media by Twitter. This is a tag generally reserved for (usually Russian and Chinese) government-controlled news orgs used specifically for propaganda purposes. The implication is that Musk likely gave his approval for NPR receiving this tag because Twitter would not have added it without his say-so. --- (he/him) "The hopeless don't revolt, because revolution is an act of hope." |

Topic | Detransititon vs Trans - Middle Ground |
MrToothHasYou 04/03/23 4:50:35 PM #121 | I think its very, very telling that to represent the detrans side they picked four content creators, only one of whom isnt openly an anti-trans activist. Most detrans people are not gender critical, dont believe that being transgender is some sort of social contagion fooling children into mutilating their genitals, and dont have a problem with gender-affirming care or increasing the acceptance and accessibility of it. So really this video is a huge fail on two fronts: first in that it portrays the opposing sides of the trans debate as being equally valid, and second in that it vilifies detrans people in the eyes of the trans community by amplifying some of the most extremely anti-trans voices among them, thereby portraying detrans people as largely anti-trans rights. --- An Injury to One is an Injury to All https://iww.org/ |
