Ugh, I hate Right Wing Youtubers. You can see Google's political bias on full display with them. I always find it suspicious that non-political youtubers can't say "Kill" in ANY context without it being counted as a swearword on par with the N-Word...

But Right Wingers can say the most hateful shit and are still allowed to have a channel with PragerU platforming LITERAL CHILD ABUSE yet still being allowed to do a show targeted at kids.

There was this DBD Youtuber who was spitting straight facts about the horrible decisions made with the game, and then he moves from his first point (bullshit nerfs that feel so random that it's likely play testing wasn't done with them) to talking about how the game is "Unrealistic" and to that I said

"Okay... it's a dark cartoony game where you play Hide and Seek with Freddy Krueger and the Xenomorph, it 's not meant to be reali.... Ah THERE we go."

Why did I say "THERE we go!" Because he immediately jumps to "Like 1/5 of the cast is canonically gay! But there's only like .0001% of people who are gay in real life"

And I had to point out that "You were cooking... until you got really homophobic." in the comments

He actually responds to me and gets into a shouting match.

He goes on and on about how the character David King was "Clearly intended to be a straight man", because his backstory "Had him be VERY manly!", and that it was an attack on him personally that he was "Changed to be gay"

I calmly told him that the devs can do whatever they want with their characters. I mean yeah if they said "Oh , btw, Laurie Strode's a lesbian", that'd be bad because the job of the guest characters is to show them as they were IN THEIR ORIGINAL FILMS! But.. they didn't make Laurie Strode gay, they made David King, a character Behavior created themselves, gay.

He gave me the same bullshit about "David King's original story had him being manly!"

I pointed out that David King's CURRENT story still had him be manly, and that manly men exist in the gay community (With David being something of what they call a "bear" in the gay community), oh and the big one.. this wasn't some recent out of nowhere Overwatch-style retcon, he'd been hard confirmed as gay VERY early on... So, wasn't sure why he was complaining.

Because I knew that (very common and well-known piece of information), I outted myself to him as "ONE OF THEM!!111", and he said something to me I'll never forget.

That I was one of the "queers" ruining America, who was as he put it "Offended by Everything and Ashamed of Nothing!"

Now that was the most mask off he'd been all conversation.

I simply asked what was it he felt that I had to be ashamed of... Never got an answer, so I can only assume he didn't know himself.

Later I found I was subscribed to him, likely had done so early on in his vid. He was live-streaming killer and complaining about a well-known Youtuber who exposes Toxic Players in the DBD community... The whole stream it was nothing but shitting on this Youtuber for, and get this, defending gay gamers from homophobic bullies instead of "Letting them get what they deserve for shoving it down people's throats."

When I realized this I left the stream, downvoted, and unsubscribed.

I wish him well and hope he changes, but since I know he's unlikely to, deep down I hope he's having a rusty nail shoved up his dickhole and that it gets infected.

I've sadly since learned that the homophobe not only was still at the homophobia game, but had gotten the slogan "Ally to the Community" trending through the Toxic Side of the community as a backhanded way of insulting.... anyone Pro-LGBT affiliated with DBD.

My point is, I just hate people who do nothing but hate and how they that despite being the clear aggressor, seem to believe they're never the ones in the wrong.

Nyway, I should lay down for bed, but before I go I must say

"If they have a problem with things being shoved down their throats they shouldn't deepthroat so fucking hard."

What can someone self identify as though, can I self identify as a specific race, species, nationality, etc.. where does one determine where to draw the line?

Clearly its going to be an issue that leads to some disagreement as it is open to ambiguity. If anything can self identify as anything would that be the middle path?

Obviously it has real implications in reality as well, like grants and shelters that go towards a specific demographics that are disproportionately disadvantaged. If people can self identify then it is obviously ripe for exploit, and how do we police that outside of the same witch hunts the anti-trans people are on, so how do we solve this one?

human and civil rights aren’t “politics”

You will agree that human and civil rights, such as the right to keep and bear arms, is not politics? If you disagree, why is your preferred civil rights not politics, but other's preferred human and civil rights are?

If politics includes the realm of persuading enough people and institutions to adopt or forget laws and standards, however moral of immoral they are, then rights of any kind are political.

Rights aren't given in society for nothing. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights were created following WWII in which we saw the greatest political conflicts in the modern, technological age. Civil rights, at least in the US, have taken many acts as well as background political pressure to get to where we are today, and this institutionalizing of equal rights among American citizens only started after the US Civil War, the only civil war that country had ever experienced at that point.

Everything is politics.

why not? What definition of politics are you using
