Yea. He has spent actual years trying to get this to happen and finally someone gave him what he wanted.

and to think your comrades could have avoided this by not being violent human garbage? such a missed opportunity

Unacceptable no matter who he was or how much he milks it. He is a victim of assault




They still live with it. That trauma doesnt go away. A nice house doesnt change it. A changing society doesnt take that away.

That was terrible treatment they went through. They are owed their voice in public no matter what they want to say. They were forced into silence for decades

in a personal setting they're somewhat analogous. but aids is a factor trans people cant match on a social level.

but from societal standpoint the two are incomparable. gay men in the 80s were nothing but a running joke, with most of the punchlines being about them dropping like flies. imagine if every single stand up routine had jokes about trans suicide rates, rather than it just being the one-off hardly laughed at middle joke from an edgy alt right guy. they had no representation in movies or TV unless it was equally as mocking OR a hypersexualized deviant representation OR a predator of children. trans people have incredibly representation in media today, from kiddie gloves treatment by pandering outlets such as HuffPo to reality shows like I am Jazz and RuPaul's Drag Race (plz for the love of god dont give me a snarky actchuallllyyyyy about the differences between CDs and trans), mainstream representation of actresses such as in Orange is the New black and many gender fluid stars like Ruby Rose.

to be frank your reaction of a reluctant "probably" is one of the main reasons that gay narrative exists. they're fine with you guys not having to earn it as hard as they did, as long as you recognize that reality. the constant messaging implying you dont have a far shorter curve than they did, and incomparably so, causes a lot of resentment. same thing that drives TERF mentality in lesbians.

I dont really care how I look on a gaming forum. I can smell a liar from 100 miles away. He was looking for this. Maybe not to this level. Probably thought he was going to just get a milk shake thrown at him but ended up getting his head knocked a few times.

I dont think violence is good but when some asshole goes out of the way to obtain fame, shit happens.

tl;dr Check that goddamn privilege.

Totally but he was looking for it imo. Got more than he bargained for.

I dont like this when people look to spread the blame when it comes to violence. Whether it's a woman a party or a right wing dude in the middle of a violent mob.

In a civilized society these people do not have it coming in my view. They didnt deserve it. They didnt get what was coming.

indeed. and its a lesson many SJW groups could learn from. sometimes flapping about and playing as if you're the worst victim of all time is the best case. rare, but valid. most of the other time actual progress is achieved more by pragmatism and incremental change. its of course a meme in the black community "change is coming" etc, but its still a more valid approach for progress than exaggeration. especially in LGBTQ matters. to my knowledge no faction has ever risked breaking up the coalition as much as trans people. gays and lesbians had a tenuous alliance with a lot of light hearted sniping, but there's real resentment for trans people from gays, lesbians, and even gender fluid people for some of the flack they face due to some trans positions. even some moderate trans people feel the same, they get tired of answering questions about trans athletes that they dont give a fuck about or pre-teens on hormones they dont support.

Stop attacking the victim, admit organizational responsibility, acknowledge organizational failure.

Antifa recruits the emotionally unbalanced and vulnerable, and gives them "meaning" through violence. Let's try to understand what we can do to stop that, and salvage something productive from the organization.
