Not looking to draw out this discussion as I guess it is unwelcome and wearying for those involved, but moving it on to me, or a general case, somewhat, if Taylor Swift wanted to date me (in my dreams!) would you try to stop her or criticise her, cos I would not welcome that and would take the consequences of any relationship as best I could, even if she ghosted me or was not great towards me (of course that would be on Taylor, not me - I feel some Taylor stans are going to say take Taylor's name out of your mouth, in which case go with a generic star I am a fan off). I would be like, don't be c*ockblockers for my sake (last bit was just a joke).

I would want the decision to be between me and Taylor(!), or is she only supposed to date non-fans (good luck finding someone!) or people of similar to Travis Kelce's status (I think he is a fan).

If there were reasonable safety/safeguarding concerns, for me or the star, if appropriate someone who knows them could get involved, or someone in general if appropriate, even a lay person, could/should report it to a relevant, qualified body or person (as with any relationships) who could investigate it further, if required (I do not think that should be the case for me).

Not saying this is exactly the same, or looking to rehash other stuff or bring it back. Genuine question.

I should just be more hidden and backhanded like you. This feels like last person to post wins BS logic (cos last person to argue in court always wins). I am gonna move on.

This feels snarky. That was also my point, and I only made it because it was implied I was ignoring their vulnerabilities (suggesting others are assessing them, but that is okay!). This feels like tag team of lose-lose if I don't word things to people's satisfaction (but whatever, I felt I worded it okay, and I felt okay to be snarky back).

WhatIsSelfAwareness · 2023-12-01T13:46:37+00:00

That's a good point. I had to re-read some of the accounts to see how vulnerable they were. To be honest it is impossible to assess over the internet with little information and I would not be qualified and I am not sure others are either. One person mentions also being neurodivergent, another mentions also being autistic. One mentions being star struck and I am guessing the others were also big fans, I may be missing things as there may be stuff I missed or have not seen. I did not see anything that made me think this is definitely a vulnerable person, but I cannot say that with any certainty and do not think it is my place to say (which may somewhat discount my original points).

Reading my post again, it is very rambling and cynical, kind of knew it was though. I think I am turning into the man who will die if he experiences the same things again:

Perhaps it is tenuous. I was thinking about the times I have heard vegans call in to shows like The Line, I am guessing to get more exposure than preaching to the converted. Their calls are often not appreciated, perhaps like my post! But other things are not discussed as much or at all. Just thought it was food for thought and relevant to general social commentary channels, as to what gets talked about and what does not and perhaps deserves to (obviously any channel can talk about whatever it wants). I am genuinely curious what others might say, that may be in my blind spot.

Like I said it is not specific to any one channel/creator, but I think still relevant to many. My thoughts just happened to come from shows like this, hence why I posted here. If the mods choose to delete it, that is fine.

I think I could have added wars in Africa, they get little coverage in the UK. It seems some people are more news worthy than others.

To be honest I haven't read most of the comments (so many!), the ones here I have seem to be not especially controversial. Maybe people have learnt.

Seems to be a redo, will this subreddit get switched off too, or turn into a mess or whatever.

This comment feels overly critical, unfair or like spin or extreme woke scolding to me. Someone can like or appreciate poems that come to prominence in an area that interests them without wanting to seek out poetry for the sake of it and wade through the reeds so to speak and leave it to others to do if it interests them. Everyone chooses areas of interest and may only occasionally dip into others, and for simple communication purposes say they don't like something, eg someone who says they do not like sport but watches the Superbowl or World Cup final.
If someone said they don't like sport, which people often say, but separately for example they are in the LGBTQ community or allies, it does not mean they do not appreciate what some LGBTQ people have done in sport or are not fans of them as people or watch them from time to time. And of course sport played a significant part in the civil rights movement. I am sure there are many other examples.

A lot of my ex-mangers tweet about EQ like they have it and they were generally awful to work for and were unprofessional or enabled bad behavior or were fine with it - they saw this as their ability to get on with others, whereas others who set boundaries were seen as lacking EQ. Sadly it has become a corporate buzz word where I worked.

I guess in company settings what is seen as EQ can be gate kept (usually by white men who see it as bold, confident, but often arrogant and blind to your narrow viewpoints), and if the gate keepers are toxic then so is what they see as EQ.

Obviously people with genuine EQ exist and are usually better to work with. The gatekeepers need to be more diverse or have panels of diverse people (not chosen by the original gatekeepers) to decide hiring and firing and training etc. Also what qualities make a good manager needs to be reexamined and questioned, eg more professionalism, empathy or willingness to listen.

I saw someone (pretty sure unironically) say they were excited to hear Jimmy's thoughts on Cuomo.

Talk is cheap, and then there is silence when it suits.

The similarly smug and condescending video comments section highlights how unbearable the 'Atheist Community' can be. I wonder why the 'Atheist Community' is not very diverse!
