No. Talking about a specific case of one group, in this case the Left, behaving badly makes no statement on another group, like the Right. We aren't talking about the two sides in general, we are talking about a specific case in which leftist transgender activists are working to have a documentary that questions the positions they advocate for kept out of the public eye.

Bringing up the bad behaviour of the Right is just playing a game of Whataboutism to deflect from the specific issue.

If your argument is that you're talking about one specific case, then the claim should be about that specific group, but instead you've painted the entire left as being represented by this one small group of people. Which really doesn't make sense when the facts being suppressed were being broadcasted by someone else on the left Lol.

And again, no one said to bring up the bad behavior of the right. Could you guys please drop that? No one is saying that. I'm saying don't bring up either side as a generalization when the thing you're talking about applies to people in general anyways. Its the same thing as saying "Republicans are fat", because Democrats are fat too, so it makes no sense to go out of your way to choose an entire political party when what you're saying has nothing to do with political parties.

Just like suppressing facts has nothing to do with being on the left or being on the right.

And its pretty apparent you guys do need this explained to you, since you still don't get it.

Man, the right is just incapable of understanding simple concepts. :P


I haven't painted the Left as anything in this topic. I'm just pointing out that making a statement about one group doesn't make any statement or implication about another, because you don't seem to get that. Saying "Republicans are fat" is not the same as saying "Democrats are thin". It doesn't say anything at all about Democrats.

Also, I'm not on the Right. Your assumption that I am is part of the problem. One can be critical of the Left without being on the Right. Not that I've been particularly critical of the Left in this topic.
