Headline? Why am I talking about a headline? I didn't see it in any news. I just watched what he said. Like, I think it was live but you can never tell with streamsI preface this with the acknowledgement that Michael Knowles is a manipulative troll, who phrased himself precisely the way he did to inspire precisely the response you're taking away, and I do not support that sort of behavior.
He didn't say that. Pretty much everyone who claimed he said that has retracted the claim and changed their headlines, because otherwise they would get sued and lose. And now there are dozens of headlines about his actual opinions. And anywhere someone states the original headlines over, they're going to get corrected by someone, further driving engagements with the ideas of Michael Knowles. You're playing into his hand. If you can't navigate the internet well enough to recognize this, you're probably better off not being on the internet.
...someone had to approve that. Someone had to physically point their eyes at their image, and then move their lips and vocal chords to form the words "that's good, go with it".
It is amazing watching you decide what other people think, feel and believe, and what punishments they deserve. I'd accuse you of having a God complex if you hadn't already revealed that your "faith" is just a desire to belong to a club that celebrates your judgement tendencies.The idea is not "transgender people can exist'", it is "the people who say they are transgender do exist, but they aren't transgender."
Rishi, did you steal that from us?
Elton should've accepted tho, and then play Candle in the Wind on loop. Or thisElton John and Harry Styles—reportedly top picks for Charles—declined invitations to perform
I'm sorry but....that's honestly a load of gibberish.Nothing. You do nothing. You're trying to interpret his words from a perspective of gender as an immutable characteristic and transgender as one particular configuration of that. But that isn't his perspective, he sees the whole thing as a misconception. Imagine the following conversation:
Person A: We need to remove from society the idea that tomatoes are a vegetable!
Person B: You want to get rid of tomatoes?
Person A: No, I just want to acknowledge that they're a fruit.
Person B: So what are you gonna do with the tomatoes then?
That's what this conversation looks like from his perspective.
We have a modern slavery system?Rishi, did you steal that from us?
We have a world class abusing refugee systems, the envy of racists across the Anglosphere.We have a modern slavery system?

Yes, I was referring to the whole stop the boats thing.We have a world class abusing refugee systems, the envy of racists across the Anglosphere.
If you were genuinely watching CPAC live, you have serious problems.Headline? Why am I talking about a headline? I didn't see it in any news. I just watched what he said. Like, I think it was live but you can never tell with streams
No, you didn't. His speech was on Saturday, media outlets covered it the same day, and by Saturday night he was demanding retractions on Twitter. By Monday morning, those retractions had happened. And in his show on Monday, which is syndicated on the talk radio in my area exactly during my commute home, he was talking about how the headlines had been all or mostly changed. You commented monday night. All these things have timestamps.I commented straight after the event but before this 'retraction' then my comment is true BEFORE the retraction.
I just told you that. I did not pretend he was being reasonable, though my problem is not so much with the content of his claims but with the tactics he uses to spread them. Me telling you that it was planned isn't part of the plan, I'm not intended to throw him under the bus in his mind.He says something outrageous so you can say something that is still racist/ homophobic/ transpobic etc but not as outrageous... so it seems more acceptable. You 'correcting' is PART OF THE PLAN.
You're not sorry, cause you're making no attempt to understand.I'm sorry but....that's honestly a load of gibberish.
I love this argument because April O'Neil has literally never, ever, had a consistent character design from one piece of media to the next. It's kind of impressive in its own rightOh look at that, one of the usual suspects are complaining about the new TMNT movie, cuz it's not like the ones from their childhood or teenagehood, and the jackass is complaining about the race change. Even though April's race has been changed before in the last cartoon, and she was turned white in most other adaptions. When in the original comics she's a biracial female. "Seth Rogen is ruining TMNT!". I watched half of the video in incognito mode, didn't have to stop from the blatant ignorance and stupidity from this asshole. Watch at your own risk.
Exactly, and the people in the video comment sections are buying this. Or throwing shades at Angry Joe for being "political". I don't like AJ, but I hate Rageaholic even more and have even less respect for him.I love this argument because April O'Neil has literally never, ever, had a consistent character design from one piece of media to the next.

BTW, April is part alien in the TMNT 2012 cartoon series. I did not make that up. I had long stop watching before that point though. It was really dumb plot twist.
I don't know. I think that reveal happened during the midway or end of season 3. I stopped watching by season 2. It didn't help that the original writer left after the first season, because Nickelodeon couldn't stop interfering where they didn't belong and kept making changes for the sake of selling toys. It really shows in the later seasons. Negating Karai's eyes he'll face turn for the sake of transforming her into a snake mutant for a whole season, just to sell some toys, really grinds my gears and is a show of bad storytelling and bad faith in the viewers.Oh? Which part?
Certainly not all-- some (like Rolling Stone) have had the honesty to leave it up and call out the absurdity of the distinction he's trying to retroactively draw.By Monday morning, those retractions had happened. And in his show on Monday, which is syndicated on the talk radio in my area exactly during my commute home, he was talking about how the headlines had been all or mostly changed.
