Except that making the jokes in the FIRST place was bigoted. You really think ANY of the transphobic material was remotely original, or fresh, or anything worthwhile? Newsflash: it wasn’t. We’ve all heard it before. It’s not exactly hidden that we’ve said it’s stupid, hurtful, and NOT FUNNY before. Chappelle, like any…

1. It is a sign of how thoroughly LGBT+ people have been oppressed and outright erased that you actually think we haven’t been fighting for our right to exist just as long as “Black people,” as if no Black person has ever been LGBTQ+! How incredibly arrogant and F*CKING HOMOPHOBIC of you to suggest such IDIOCY. 2.…

I dislike the question, largely because it’s opinion-based and asked as if factually based. This should not be a multiple choice question, but a short answer or essay question.

Actually, it's well documented that a big part of the reason for raging wildfires in California every year is that they are not doing enough proper controlled burns, in large part because of the objections of homeowners who frequently are from out of state to begin with.  So yes, it IS at least California's own fault.

Yeah, but “doesn’t even live in the same state” absolutely SHOULD disqualify someone. THEIR taxes definitely AREN’T going to that district, so they should have no say in the district’s decisions. Also, “despite not having children enrolled” IS still a valid reason to question the motivations and also the credibility…

This Whacko—sorry, Thaker—dude probably thinks it’s still like the system in the 1980s where you wrote your name on the little card kept in the book.

I’m sorry, darling, but when one says, “I’m team TERF,” one is quite literally, in fact, saying that trans people don’t deserve to live, because that’s part of the message of TERFs: trans people don’t “really” exist and don’t deserve to be treated as if they are in fact trans. That they must be forced to “be” what…

I’ve always hated the “it makes kids feel bad” argument. Like, okay, Condie, sweetie, you think it WON’T make little Black kids feel bad? You think teaching about the Holocaust, even showing video of it, is perfectly fine even though it DOES “make kids feel bad”—and it SHOULD—but teaching about racism is a problem?

Let’s also think of the number of vulnerable trans youth who aren’t killed, but ARE winding up homeless, abused, and even tortured because their hardware and software don’t quite jibe. Every closeted trans kid who was even walking by when someone was playing that section was harmed—first by someone on TV saying they…

... seriously?  Somebody told you that?  DUDE, ain't nobody owed MY MONEY for what they got to say!  I am just plain flabbergasted by that one.

Ah, perhaps to point out that Chapelle’s words are, in fact, a serious problem for those of us who are trans? Seeing as how we already face death threats and abuse on a regular basis? And, you know, giving US some goddamn support, for once, instead of ignoring it?  Instead of being casually bigoted the way you just…

With the matter of degrading lyrics, those lyrics are a well-documented misogynistic source that many of us do, indeed, feel should be "cancelled."  Thing is, if the artists in question don't want to be "cancelled," they DO have the option to, you know, NOT USE those lyrics.  I have zero sympathy for the vast majority…

The problem is, one side is playing by the rules while the other is not, and if the side playing by the rules stops even a little, the other side gets a “win,” because they’re pretending they’re morally superior and it’s WORKING.

You say that, and prove that you don’t understand history at all. The Nazis were also a “tiny number of nutters.” The population of the Confederacy was a fraction the size of the Union, and it was only a fraction of THAT who were agitating prior to the Civil War. The Sons of Liberty were a “tiny number” of Colonists.…

To be fair, the mantle of Black Panther did get passed around in the comics, too. Unlike, say, Iron Man, Black Panther was explicitly from the start a title passed down through generations. We’d all love it if Chadwick Boseman hadn’t passed away, but his passing never did mean the superhero of Black Panther had to go,…

I've had ivermectin--legitimately, for scabies, prescribed by a doctor.  It was effin' MISERABLE.  I was sick for DAYS.  By contrast, I got the Moderna shots, and both times I had a bit of an itch and a slight soreness in my arm for a few days.  My 5G signal didn't improve any, and my covid arm never grew in, and I…

At least in Washington’s day, they were being exposed to actual, live virus—like, literally, innoculation at the time meant sticking a splinter into a smallpox pustule and then scratching the pus into the innoculee’s arm. In an mRNA vaccine, you’re not even being exposed to a chunk of dead vaccine, you’re being given…

Not...QUITE actually true.  There was not an actual VACCINE in 1777.  What was ordered was that all military members be exposed to a weak variant, comparable to deliberately exposing people to the alpha variant to protect them from the delta variant.  An actual VACCINE was not developed until 1798.

It’s selfish and egotistical for any adult to be anti-vax, because they believe that their “gut feelings” are more important than the actual published data and science, some of which is MORE THAN A CENTURY OLD, that states that vaccines are overall safe and effective, and the COVID vaccine in specific is both safe and…

Because antivaxxers are too dumb to spell things that aren't precisely phonetical.
