And conservatives wonder why trans advocates don’t like the woman. Yeah but she’s also trying to force an assigned female at birth female athlete with a vagina to transition to male so six of one, half a dozen of another. JK Rowling hates cis women too. | ||

Why does that matter? It’s fucking bathroom. Indeed as a crude anecdotal observation, most chicks I know don’t care at all, and tend to be more sympathetic on trans issues. They don’t feel threatened one iota by trans people using their space. Know what they frequently do feel threatened by? Dudes, in general. Now, we could just ignore that entirely and assume that half of the human populace are full of shit, or we could maybe listen. | ||

Blackjack will just pretend all those other things don’t exist, and that Daisy posting on Tumblr is representative of the left. And have endless excuses why he spends all his time moaning about trans people in sport, but not Trump doing well, what he’s doing. Because obviously Blackjack is just a devil’s advocate for truth, of course! So here, where we are mostly left-leaning, he’s just playing devil’s advocate and pushing against internal orthodoxy. That’s all! And elsewhere in spaces none of us inhabit that are conservative dominated, he’s doing the same thing, apparently. We all know it’s bullshit, I suspect Blackjack himself knows it’s complete bullshit How did we jump to "BJ will ignore that cancel culture on the right exists"? Anyway, here's the search function again doing overtime today On February 03 2022 07:14 BlackJack wrote: I don't think "the right" is as opposed to cancel culture as they pretend to be - the most obvious example being Colin Kaepernick.

It becomes a problem if all the banks refuse to work with someone because of their opinions or if all 32 NFL teams refuse to hire Colin Kaepernick because of their opinions. Everyone should be sensible enough to say that blacklisting people to freeze them out of a portion of society because of their opinions is unfair.

If the audience can stomach those people but they can’t stomach Colin Kaepernick then it really says a lot about our society and where it’s heading. Does nobody read my posts on this site? You just haphazardly assign any grievance you have about the right onto me?  | ||

Anyway, here's the search function again doing overtime today Does nobody read my posts on this site? You just haphazardly assign any grievance you have about the right onto me? Nope, not at all. You seem to just want to argue with people. And in a space that’s generally left dominated you’ll just consistently do that. But you simultaneously seem to want to be able to play the perpetual devil’s advocate, but not get criticised for it, or have other people assume your political positions based on your output. ‘Oh no I just slam the left all the time on TL because it’s left-dominated, but trust me I slam conservatives just as hard elsewhere’ Maybe that’s true, I don’t really care I’m not in those other spaces that you apparently hold conservatives to account in. I think it’s bullshit, I think you consider the oversteps of wokeness as worse than actual governmental overreach, and the increasing success of the far right because you always focus on the former. And if you don’t, it’s not my bad, it’s yours, it’s the entirety of your posting lmao. People may bitch about GH’s approach or whatever, and I will sometimes. I’ve also 0% doubt that GH’s positions are their actual positions. | ||

Definitely my fault. I'll try to get those numbers up for you. As per usual I’ll not talk for the forum as I don’t think I do, and whack it to a poll. Also bear in mind last time ‘had you even heard about the Sydney Sweeney controversy?’ lost, which you never addressed | ||

Good to know that’s how it works Apologies, I will remove my poll. | ||

I just don't understand the need to have a tantrum about it. It's like complaining "Only 95% of the posts here are criticizing Trump and if you would stop being such a jerk and do your part we could get to 97-98% so wtf is your problem!" I've never seen anyone so triggered that their echo chamber doesn't echo back perfectly. If you want to criticize my dissenting opinions then go ahead, but you shouldn't a) criticize me simply for having dissenting opinions and b) foist any position of the conservative right onto me as if I'm on board with it just because I don't spend all day bemoaning it. ‘Triggered’ lmao. Fucking hell. | ||

Like how many times have you come out against people stabbing each other in the eyeballs to death, WombaT? Not quite enough for my satisfaction. In fact I've not seen it once. Problematic. | ||
