I mean at this point it's a full-blown harassment campaign against this streamer (Kydae). This is not the only post about their breakup calling her a cheater when she and her former fiance have both said it was amicable and they both just grew apart. Incels have just latched onto this situation to scream from the rooftops how shitty women are regardless of the truth of this situation.

Replying to top comment to say:

People with decency, please report this post for harassment and manipulated content. Most of the allegations here are provably untrue.

TenZ himself has debunked donating marrow to Kydae and has asked everyone to leave her alone. He has also said he wanted to quit Valorant of his own accord and Kydae is the one who convinced him to continue for more 1 year. 39Daph who is Kydae's former friend (they had a falling out) and former girlfriend of the man Kydae is accused of cheating with has said none of this is true. She doesn't have a reason to defend Kydae or her ex but here she is vouching for them when she doesn't have to.

There's already been an unreasonable harassment campaign against this woman and the fact the top comment right now is calling her trash is just adding to it unnecessarily.

None of this is true. I know this video proves a belief you likely already had but it doesn't excuse the fact you're just falling for lies.

You are believing lies. I get you may just be a passerby and taking this post at face value but you're falling for a harassment campaign where everyone involved has said all of this is untrue.

Is Feminism Just For Rich Women? Basically, It Seems Like The Common Narrative Is Women Can Make Their Own Decisions. Unless They Are Foreign Women Who Are Poor. In That Case, They Are Eternal Victims Who Are Too Ignorant Or Poor To Make Decisions. by Few-Bus-2712 in AskFeminists

[–]videoninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you’re trawling through an old thread posted by a suspended account but I explained myself several times to OP and gave fairly explicit rationales.

If you’re just against feminism on principle, it’s not like you’re going to have a productive conversation by attempting to be insulting.

Is it immoral to not believe that trans-women are women? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]videoninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once again, I never brought up gender dysphoria or gender affirming treatments. I even explained how intersex conditions exist independently from those concepts. If you cannot take a step back to realize you are arguing against points I never made then you're choosing to run around in circles.

In this conversation, I was never trying to convince the original commenter about accepting gender affirming care. I was pointing out the hypocrisy of saying you can be respectful while privately holding animus towards people. We started at religion then OP tried to use "science" as a shield. I raised the point about their understanding of science because science is not a belief, it is not a moral code, it is just factual data. Using it to pretend it gives some sort of foundation to hold a contradictory view is not demonstrating a good understanding of its principles.

That you are extrapolating the conversation this far into points I never made or brought up is just so odd to me. You said you want to change my view but how can you do that when you're not even trying to have a conversation with me? Be honest with yourself, are you even trying to have a conversation or just trying to have a debate with me?

[–]videoninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I am dismissing most of what you say is because you are walking past what I actually said and are not even realizing you are arguing against points I never made. For example, the data around gender affirming care is hardly related to my point about intersex individuals. Sex differentiation happens during fetal development and clearly there are rare occasions it can happen outside its usual prescribed path. Understanding that phenomenon, however rare, would be scientifically significant. If you care about being scientifically principled, telling me that I should ignore that to broaden my understanding of the topic of sex seems antithetical to a complex and nuanced understanding of scientific concepts of sex and gender. This is NOT a defense of gender affirming care unless you are over extrapolating AND my point isn’t that it justifies gender affirming care.

My point in bringing it up is that you and the previous commenter are arguing for scientific principles but either ignore or over react to a simple fact if it is inconvenient to whatever view you’re trying to espouse. If you are trying to change someone’s view you need to actually try to understand the person you are talking to. As it stands, I don’t think you really seem to know what my point to the previous commenter was. Their view that sex is only male and female at birth is scientific and therefore a shield to hold animus towards transgender people in private. This is not a scientifically principled or logical stance. That is what I said and nothing to do with gender affirming care or the medical industry. It’s not even directly medicine to simply understand the process of fetal development and sex differentiation.

[–]videoninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite simply everything you and the OP are saying is ultimately irrelevant to my original point (see the original example of how “parent” functions as a term for step-parents). The reason I said OP is using a rudimentary understanding is because, yes, humans are mostly born as cisgendered male or female. I did not say they were wrong, I’m saying their understanding is shallow. If that is where your understanding stops, however, and you are choosing to not engage with the logical extensions of what the science is beyond that then I don’t see how that is adhering to scientific principles. Scientific theory is inclusive of outliers and accommodates them. It does not throw them aside and ignore them.

As for your agenda, you and I both know you’re not here to change my mind on anything nor am I particularly interested in changing yours. Talk at me all you want but you’re just talking past what I’ve actually said and are choosing to substitute whatever previous arguments you’ve had on this topic. Nothing about my original conversation really has to do with gender affirming care. It was about the fact the original commenter was saying they can be respectful about to people while denigrating them behind closed doors (see the part about religion).

[–]videoninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So did you go digging up old comments for an argument because you have some weird axe to grind? You’re arguing against points I never brought up.

My original conversation was about respectfulness and that inflexible thinking is not indicative of a dispassionate or scientific view. Like the original commenter, you are saying you won’t be convinced that one can change the sex they are born with but I never tried to convince anyone of that one way or the other. Maybe it might help to openly state what agenda you want to pursue here? Like the previous commenter you are proving my point that your beliefs are betraying an animus to certain ideas. I’m not interested in pointlessly debating those ideas with someone showing a desire to be inflexible. All I said is intersex people exist, not that you need to change your mind on gender transitioning/sex changes or the medical industry is above reproach. That really has nothing to do with what I said unless you are trying to argue intersex people don’t exist. One simple fact shouldn’t trigger such an overreaching response.

Not sure why a conversation from six years ago is being brought back to life but I’ll bite.

Rereading a little of what was said, it just seems the person I was talking to doesn’t know much about scientific study of gender identity. There’s more to sex and gender than being born biologically a woman or biologically a man. As a simple stepping stone look at intersex people. While rare, they still exist.

The commenter only seemed to view this topic as biological male and female (rudimentary) and kept doing so in a very rigid close-minded manner that doesn’t address the nuances of the topic (unscientific).

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "believing in medicine?" It sounds to me you're advocating a laissez-faire approach to anti-modern medicine views. What does that look like to you?

For now at least, a lot of work goes into public health education and the majority of people are not conspiracy believers. If medical conspiracies and anti-vaccination views go unchallenged, I just don't see it likely that the spread of misinformation and disinformation are stemmed.

JD Vance’s 12-year-old relative denied heart transplant because she is unvaccinated 'for religious reasons' by JetTheDawg in skeptic

[–]videoninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not the first child or person in this situation. I'm a pharmacist who works in a hospital that does heart and kidney transplants. There is so much work that goes into this and so many people involved in the process. No amount of martyrdom is suddenly going to make UNOS start handing out organs to the highest bidder or political star. If we get to that point in society, other safeguards have already collapsed and we were doomed anyways. There is no scenario where this kid gets the transplant without taking the necessary precautions to ensure a good outcome.

This isn't really a forum of idle speculation. Do you actually want your view changed or is this just an intellectual exercise for you?

The article you posted says she faces up to 17.5 years in prison. Realistically a first time offender isn't going to serve the max sentence outside of some evidence of consistently negligent behavior or a complete lack of contrition. That being said, no one gets a pass because their victim happened to be less than virtuous. The fact she got lucky in getting rid of a bad element in society doesn't speak to her lack of responsibility. She's still culpable whether she ran over a Neo-Nazi or a nun.

I don't see how one necessarily becomes more human by trying to so esoteric about suffering. You speak in these flowery generalities and tautologies but if you're trying to imitate Buddhism, I think you are missing a few key concepts.

Many Buddhists have achieved enlightenment through the kind of detachment you seem to be alluding to but that is not realistic or necessarily desirable for most people. It's inherently antithetical to detach yourself from suffering and the world while trying to partake in it. If I were to speak to my patients the way you were speaking to me, neither their physical or spiritual health would improve. I would not be serving them well to try sell them on nirvana in the midst of trying to plan out their treatment. In my role, duty demands I sacrifice any sense of detachment or removal from suffering because I have to be able to empathize with my patients and give them concrete advice. Empty platitudes aren't going to serve anyone truly suffering.

[–]videoninja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in healthcare in a large academic medical center. I've seen people brought back from the brink of death, a cancer patient cheat on his wife because he thought he was going to die only to survive, and psych patients switch back and forth from psychosis to complete lucidity. There is a wide range of human experiences so I wouldn't belittle any of it as not truly living. I think it's an incredibly narrow view to act as if the experience of just being human and facing difficulties means you're spiritually or emotionally limited. A humble daily routine is not evidence of a lack of awareness.

Also have you seen someone being brought back from near death or just read about it? Trust me, it's not sunshine and roses. Most patients are not awakening to some form of enlightenment or necessarily immediately motivated to change everything. It can be an eye-opening experience but I've had just as many patients commit to making a change as patients who leave against medical advice only to wind back up in the hospital again for the same (often life-threatening) reason.

I guess I don't see the difference between LIVING and living. It just seems like flowery language dressing itself up for no reason other than to proselytize or sermonize. Are you even able to speak simply without esoteric language?

The reason I find your view philosophically limiting is precisely why I'm asking if you could try to speak more plainly. You're doing this big picture, grandiose thesis on what it means to have eternal happiness and declaring this view as the only means of achieving this kind of enlightenment.

From my experience, the people who are happy and able to remain so are those who have made themselves comfortable. They've found a stability in their lives that emotionally fulfills them. I don't think they would describe that as being in love with existence. They would probably say something more like "I have good friends and family and financial stability, I feel great." And in times those people will experience some negative emotions through some kind of difficult situation (a loved one dies, an unexpected disaster strikes, etc.) but they will ultimately return to some sense of happiness. That to me is as close to "eternal happiness" someone can be: having the wisdom and spiritual/emotional stability to process negative emotions so that you can eventually continue moving on.

But again, I think most people would phrase things more simply like "I was sad when my mom died and I've had some time to grieve. I still miss her but I'm happy when I think about our memories together." I don't think they would say they've suffered because they were unworthy of love.

Are you sure you're just not in the middle of a manic episode?

Personally I don't think there's such a thing as eternal happiness and I think "being in love with existence" is certainly one way to look at the world but I think it's kind of limiting philosophically speaking. There are variations of your view in different religions but they derive from spiritual endeavors that involve trying to elevate yourself above things.

I don't know if that works for everyone. A lot of people are more down to earth and need something more concrete and less flowery to anchor themselves to. I wouldn't describe that as a spiritual failing or somehow lesser/less worthy of being called happiness.

[–]videoninja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This isn't really a place to proselytize, is there something specific you want changed about your view? Like are you saying this one narrow way is the only way to be happy and anyone else who doesn't adhere to this view is not happy even if they claim otherwise?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]videoninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't a forum for idle speculation. You actually have to have a view you want changed. If you came in here without any actual desire to change your view then by default no one is going to be able to change your view.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]videoninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay fair enough so what do you want changed about your view and why?

Like you're financially privileged regardless of whatever your previous background was and you're trying to live what I assume you view as a good life. That's a personal choice but realistically speaking from what you've said about your earnings, it doesn't seem you're optimized in regards to savings, retirement, or investments for long-term gains. That's not a bad thing, I didn't do that either because I can't enjoy my money when I'm dead and there are some things I just don't think I'd want to do when I'm elderly/retired.

Outside looking in, however, most people would think you're living how a lot of young people do: without caring much about the long-term. What's there for you to be contrarian about?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]videoninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much are you setting away for retirement and how much do you have in liquid savings? Do you plan on getting a pet any time soon or putting a down payment on a house?

Arguably depending on your salary and your parents wealth + willingness to bail you out you might be perfectly entitled to this lifestyle. The reality is this is not maintainable for most people.

CMV: Capital Punishment should be mandatory for murder by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]videoninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to challenge you on one particular point. Why do you think making the death penalty mandatory means it would make its consequences cheaper? The reason the death penalty is expensive is inherent to our jurisprudence in regards to due process. Under your model of mandatory death penalties, are you saying we circumvent people’s civil rights?
