If they could tell, then there's no reason to be worried about being attracted to a "wrong person". But it's like with homophobia, they can't tell whether the guys they are friends with might be secretly gay (and god forbid be into them) so they feel like they should tell everyone about how homophobic they are to make themselves as unattractive as possible to queer people. It's like they don't realize that they can simply reject a person and stay friends, or learn to be comfortable with their attraction to a trans person without forcing themselves into a sexual relationship if it bothers them.

    His meltdown over realising that he was attracted to a trans woman is hilarious but also mildly unsettling to me as a trans woman. Because it's unfortunately a scary part of reality we run the risk of every single day, especially if we don't fully pass. The speed at which his horniness turned to aggression shows that if a man approaches us and starts catcalling us, and then sees moments later that we have an adams apple, he will think "fuck, am I gay?", which would translate to anger, and could even turn into assault. Even when a man is "nice" to us, and says "thanks love", I find brief euphoria, but then that turns into stress, because I need to make 100% sure that he doesn't clock me as trans, and "correct" himself, or worse, get angry.

      They will see "america good" and "capitalism good" in a game and assume it aligns with their views and is thus not political.
      But half the time games like bioshock and fallout are criticising these ideas and it will go completely over their head. They will see a robot in fallout that will assume you're communist and kill you if you pick any line other than "fuck off".
      And after seeing this parody of the red scare the game is encouraging players to laugh at because of how stupid it is and go "so true fallout i hate communism too."

    I myself use strictly they/them pronouns, and literally nothing can compare to the utter joy I felt when I realized I could make my character just like me. A game made by a company that's made two of my favorite games (Oblivion and Skyrim ofc) ever, the BIGGEST GAME OF THE YEAR - and it INCLUDES ME? I honestly hadn't thought that would come any time soon. I squealed over it, I've told multiple family members about the pronoun button. That constant joy whenever I look at my character and know they're not getting misgendered (as I've made enby characters in TES games before but been unable to give them correct pronouns)... it's really special. Some annoying backwards-thinking white guy isn't gonna take that away from me. I really, really hope this inspires other big studios to follow along :)

    Call of Duty: LITERAL AMERICAN ARMY PROPAGANDA = Not Political
    Starfield: Space game with pronoun toggle = Political.
    Right.

    You know for a fact that if the politics were the other way around, orcs like him would MAKE SURE to never let that person forget it, or the entire internet for the matter. They've done it dozens of times and now it's our turn.

      He made a video about Hogwarts Legacy back when the trans community objected to it, and his response to those complaints? “MAN UP!”

    10:55 Blows my mind that some people have watched "The Boys" all this time and saw Highlander as anything short of a psychopath; and clearly intended to be portrayed as such. But then I remembered 2016 happened.

      I watched Season 1 for the first time recently, and it's pretty clear FROM EPISODE 1 that he's an awful person. He lasers a whole plane and destroys it. Idk how people thought he was meant to be a good person. And season one goes on to COMPOUND how much of a dickbag he is. He does SO MUCH awful shit. And I haven't even gotten to season 2 and 3 yet.

    when youtube recommended me a video about starfield pronouns with a thumbnail of an angry white guy, my impulse was never show me this channel ever again, but upon closer inspection the video seemed to be about reactionary politics rather than being reactionary politics. Glad I clicked, this is a neat channel.

    It's really funny in a sad way. I'm a straight guy and was recently watching the episode of Strange New Worlds with a trans actor. I thought she was amazing and caught some feelings for her. My friend pointed out the actor was trans and I laughed and said that I thought she was super hot! That's because I'm very comfortable with my sexuality. This guy really seems to have issues and fights his feelings with hate and anger.
