cheese and FUCKING rice I am tired of the “concern-trolling as legislation” trend. let’s idk NOT make life harder for kids and young adults who, by living in their identity, are going to have it hard ANYWAY because our society is kicking and screaming its way into the future even as we hang sign party “Live Laugh…

And remember, “No one said this wasn’t Photoshopped” is apparently a perfectly acceptable excuse for spamming the world with fake pictures.

Exactly. For all the people who have been “cancelled”, it seems to have made little to no difference, and they still show up everywhere.

if he was going to be criticized for punching down

Gervais seems to have forgotten that fact and instead imagines that criticism is the same as persecution.

That Ricky Gervais hosted the Golden Globes in 2020 is ironclad proof that the supposed excesses of “cancel culture” are not actually a thing, but only exist in the fever dreams of people who desperately want to shout the n-word and use “gay” as an insult. 

But this year, Gervais decided that if he was going to be criticized for punching down with his jokes, then he wasn’t going to be funny at all.

Oh I think he was always David Brent.  It’s just that in this day and age there’s less reason for him to hide the truth.

I vape CBD/Marijuana for my pain. It’s a godsend. I’m looking into a dry herb vaporizer but they run $200 and it’s tough to find actual dry herb with high CBD, it’s mostly in vape cartridges.

Just don’t give her any more money. We can still love and appreciate Harry Potter and what it meant to us. 

I will counter the others by saying that you *SHOULDN’T* separate the art from the artist. Especially if they’re still alive and earning a paycheck from that work.

Yeah, you won’t break her bank by denying her your money now, but if enough people do she will have to pay attention.

Putting aside the whole “should an artist be separated from their art” debate, let’s maybe not dismiss transphobia as just a lack of wokeness. This isn’t someone using slightly outdated terminology or something, this is straight-up bigotry.

Another artist here. You are absolutely correct. People who make excuses about this just want to continue to not have to use their conscience when out in the world being a consumer and patron.

Art cannot be separated from the artist and it’s insulting to creators to act like it can be.

Second artist here. First, what an asshole tone to take for such a wrong opinion. Second. any ACTUAL artist knows that that isn’t possible. It’s insulting and derogatory to act like we’re just some empty vessel the muses work through to create whatever we create. Art can’t be separated from the artist. They are…

that’s fucking stupid, and selfish. there are thousands of great books out there NOT written by TERF pieces of human trash. read one of them instead. art and literature are far too broad to have to twist yourself into knots trying to pretend art isn’t a reflection of the artist. there’s no defensible reason to…

Biological sex is profoundly more complicated than two neat little buckets that are “male” and “female.” The problem is that Forstater isn’t approaching sex as a set of biological factors expressed and socially intersecting in nuanced ways - she presents sex as a simple set of two buckets, without nuance, and then…

Who here has said gender=sex? We pointed out the way in which you’re wrong, and your response is to create strawmen and, again, imply that “both sides are doing it”.

Heads up, “easier to understand” does not necessarily equate to “accurate”.

You’re still wrong. Biological sex is not wholly determined via genetics, and it’s also a spectrum.
