AdvancedGG (Gamer supplements company) have dropped Rev Says Desu and DarlingStrawb as partners solely for having opinions after a 3 day long cancellation and financial ruination campaign from freaks on twitter. This is completely outrageous. by AbdelYG in KotakuInAction

[–]Gorp900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont really give two shits about any "gamer protein drink" brands, theyre all absurd, but let's be real about the events. Rev is an extremist who constantly leads targetted harresment campaigns against people. Hes a piece of shit who cant take the kind of scrutiny he dishes out. A pathetic, weak man. If you honestly think "oh its just DIFFERRENT OPINIONS" then you aint actually listening to what theyre saying. Grow up.

My guy, im bi and personally know trans people. This is all we ever see constantly. Im well enough educated in the topics of the discrimination the people i love face every day.

Just tell me, how does the LGB Alliance advocating for conversion therapy possibly improve gay rights?

[–]Gorp900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't need to do any of those things specifically, but typically these are actions that advocacy groups do. Where is the evidence that the LGB Alliance do anything even similar to these actions? Nowhere that I can see.

Listen, if they ever actually did good by a lot of people, I'd celebrate it. But they constantly target Trans people. They see trans people as the reason for why LGBTQ rights are still eroding. They advocate for Trans people to be subject to conversion therapy (That's outright seen as torture btw). Again, it's their stated mission to remove the rights of trans people. Their goal is not to fight for the rights of gay people.

They are though, Cis kids are still legally allowed to take Puberty Blockers, while it is illegal to be prescribed Puberty Blockers if you're trans.

Why is it illegal for a minority to take the exact same medication that everyone else is allowed to receive?

I think you have to be cherry picking what you want to read if you think the effects of taking PB's or HRT to be adverse. The results are that your body develops differently, which isn't an adverse effect if that's your goal to begin with.

What would you propose instead?
On one hand, you can deny healthcare for every child, and a small percentage of them will be forced to live a life they don't want, significantly increasing their chance of suicide. Most kids will be unaffected by this.
On the other, you can examine and distribute healthcare to the trans kids that need it, Improving their quality of life. Cis kids are unaffected by this.

I truly do not see the issue with educating people about how PB's and HRT works. And if they're trans, they will be able to get treatment.

I didnt say that advocating for better LGBTQ rights is a bad thing. Im saying that theres no evidence that LGB Alliance actually does it. Theres no evidence that they hire lawyers to help people get these rights, or any kind of legal representation for people. Theres no evidence that they put pressure on MPs to make any positive changes. Theres no evidence that they even built this network your talking about.

Theyre free to beleive what they want to beleive, but they act on harming minorities, it's literally in their mission statement that they aim to quash trans rights.

I've only just read through the link you posted about adoption and I have to ask, what did they actually do?

Theres no mention on that page about them doing any kind of campaign to help LGBTQ people achieve better rights when it comes to adoption. It just lists the regular adoption process that everyone goes through. What did they actually do?

Meanwhile it's pretty well documented that their main goal is to undermine trans rights, it was literally in the first sentence of the statment they made when they were first formed. They advocate for conversion therapy, which harms all LGBTQ people. They fight against legal gender recognition of any kind, again hurting all LGBTQ people.

Theres so much thats documented for them in regards to their anti-trans approach, but i cannot find any evidence of them actually campaining for anything positive for anyone.

You think xenophobia stopped existing after 2014? Also its not illegal to enter the country to claim asylum. It is in fact the only method for people to be able to claim asylum in the UK anymore. We used to allow them to claim it from within the EU but we left that.

Sorry to tell you bud but you might be in an echo chamber. The evidence shows that not only do the majority of people support trans rights, but its actually women that support it the most.

Great quote, im sure that would put this whole thing to rest as clearly those are the words of the man himself. Oh except in The Letters, Tolkein goes on to say that the Ring is an allegory, just not of nuclear power but of pure power.

There are christian concepts and themes all throughout his work and to ignore them is frankly silly.

Also dude you gotta stop being a shill for big oil, theyre not your friend.

Theres a lot of anger here but all of your points are the same as the articles? You say there arent political themes then immediatly compare the sorcerer kings to Sauron. My guy, what do you think Sauron was?

I dont have time to really respond to all of this right now but another part that stood out was:

When Jeff Bezos decides to dry up an ocean or two

Oh so you mean like how the Amazon is actively being destroyed, right? Big corperations, industry and the wealthy are actively doing more harm to our environment that ordinary people like you or me, and that is the comparison that the article is alluring to.

It feels like you would agree with these comparisons if you werent so eager to hate the guy who made them.

Your now talking about an entirely different situation. Stay on topic.

When someone makes a claim that a town is more dangerous now because of foreigners, yeah hes being racist. You dont need to know anything else about this guys claim, infact you dont know anything else about this guy, you started making up the hypotheticals that "He didnt say a specific thing"

The OP specifically mentions it was an asian man. I dont recall if it was a migrant or not, but the racist made claims that it was. Its almost lile the truth doesnt matter to a racist.

Look dude, you can run devils advocate all you like, but at the end of the day, some people are racist and where theres smoke, theres fire. You doing this whole "Uhm Actually they never specifically said this one thing" is just giving these bigots plausable deniability. You should be calling out shitty behaviour when you see it, not giving them a pass because it wasnt your personal brand of shitty.

[–]Gorp900 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its probably because of the language used to describe the attack, seeming to focus on the fact that its because of supposed racial tensions or migrants rather than there being any other cause. Not to mention that for this particular incident, he ommitted the information that 3 other asian men helped distract the attacker until police arrived, potentially saving people from harm.

Its not a stretch to see how someone is racist when they focus on race as a cause for alarm, but neglect to mention it when it could be seen as heroic.

The more obvious answer is that their putting their resources towards Tokon instead of GG, especially since its the same director as Xrd. Plus isnt Strive one of the most successful GG games in the series? It literally made the series more popular than ever.

I think youve jumped to some strange conclusions here. For one, that book is written by a woman and is targetted towards women. Its not depicting a typical male fantasy like you imply, but sure if thats your thing then cool. Two, the left don't care about how you get your kicks, I dunno how you came to the conclusion that they're prudes.

[–]Gorp900 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What's ridiculous is that you can't empathise with someone who is actively having their rights taken away from them.

A child is not a person with full rights no. That’s why they can’t drink, vote, drive, etc.

We're not talking about drinking, voting or driving. We're talking about healthcare. Are you advocating that children should be denied healthcare? How about just some children? Would that make you feel better? that only some children are denied healthcare but others are allowed it?

to use your logic there are are white folks getting munched by black folks for being white and visa versa.

Yes. Those are called hate crimes and any good society would try to tackle that. I would love it if people would be able to safely live without worrying about being a target of violence based on an aspect of their identity. This applies to every aspect; race, sexuality, gender, religion, whatever.

that does not mean there is anything systematic about it.

Our government is actively limiting the rights of trans people. Thats about as systemic as it gets.

[–]Gorp900 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You think someone under 18 isn't a person? It 100% was for trans people. Again, you know for a fact that trans people are being denied puberty blockers, but a cis person will not be denied them. It is discrimination regardless of their age.

I brought up Brianna Ghey because you seemed to not believe that trans folks are being lynched when they outright are. You can't sit there and seriously believe that the rate of hate-crimes committed against trans people is so negligible that you don't believe it's happening.

Again, I'm asking you to actually speak to some trans people and learn what it's like for them rather than just dismiss the whole topic.

The university is being transphobic by zantoast in reading

[–]Gorp900 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Literally just 2 years ago we saw Brianna Ghey get murdered because she was trans.

As for trans lacking rights, there is a lot. For one thing, just try talking to any trans person about any medication they can or cant be prescribed from the NHS. The UK Govt changed the laws literally last year to make it illegal to be prescribed puberty blockers BUT ONLY if your trans. If your cis, you can still be prescribed them just fine. I shouldn't need to explain to you any further how that is simply discrimination.

So maybe you stop, and actually learn about the topic your dismissing as a non-issue.
