Topic	Red Hood Series Gets Canceled Because of Trans Writer's Remarks on Charlie Kirk
darkknight109 09/16/25 2:39:26 PM #81:	reincarnator07 posted... I did back in post 52. "To be clear, I do not want more terrorism and violence". Good - I agree with this position. But square that with what you said in Post 62 - the "punch a Nazi" idea. How does that relate to the subject of Charlie Kirk's death? Because it seemed like you were saying it would be heroic and just for someone to physically accost Charlie Kirk and those like him. Maybe that's me misunderstanding your post, so feel free to clarify, but any call to violence is something that should be treated very, very carefully, because it's damn near impossible to get that genie back in the bottle and it historically has led us to some very dark places. reincarnator07 posted... Melissa Hortman. Barely 3 months ago. Didn't break any laws, murdered for political gain and relentlessly mocked by conservatives. Do you believe that Hortman "visibly actively harmed society" and "spread hate"? And was there no controversy or pushback against those who mocked her death? Because if not, she's not an example of what Alts was claiming. reincarnator07 posted... How well did that work for Harris? She was the return to normalcy candidate, someone to take the positives of the Biden admin and build on them. She got wrecked, despite the fact that Trump could barely speak properly. People know that there are polite candidates. They keep emphatically voting against them. They don't want normal candidates, they want Trump like figures. Counterpoint: The 2020 election. If the people want brash Trumpers, not polite people, how did Trump lose to Biden? Again, you're not going to get me to believe that Trump and MAGA won solely for being assholes. There are plenty of explanations for why Harris lost, ranging from racism/misogyny to the pressures of inflation (which claimed more than a few other incumbent governments in the post-COVID era) to the chaos caused by Biden's late exit from the campaign, most of which I find more feasible than suggesting Harris lost because of her demeanour. Correlation does not equal causation. Just because Harris lost and was the more polite candidate by far doesn't mean that she lost because she was the more polite candidate by far. reincarnator07 posted... My brother in Zodiark, who do you believe is running interference against gun control? If I tried to name them all I'd use up the character limit for this entire topic. Hence why I said one dude does not move the needle on gun control. If Charlie Kirk advocated for stronger gun control, that would have done absolutely nothing to stop him from getting shot in the throat. It would take a movement much larger than him to have a hope at preventing that shooting. By contrast, just about any anti-vaxxer who died of COVID could have easily prevented their own death by, y'know, getting vaccinated. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
