I think about all those Nazis who work in social services, helping our poorest get housing, find medical care, food aide, all of that for our poorest, most vulnerable citizens.

That's what that sounds like to me: you can be a Nazi if you do all these things, BUT, you also have differences with other social workers about certain kinds of early childhood interventions.

It sounds conspiratorial, honestly. Like these doctors spent all these years to get their degrees, and now, finally, they can unleash their master plan of having intra-professional disagreements with their colleagues who all work on the same things they do.

Also, the nazi in this metaphor is lauded by some people of color who said "Yeah, that Nazi did incredible work, I'm really grateful to the Nazi."

Double down on defending people from being called nazis, that's a great idea.

quote:

Since the open letter is all he’s got, Singal then attempts to rebut the objections put forward by it. The letter, for example, states that Tuvel dead-named a trans woman, using her pre-transition name in the article. Singal argues that the woman in question was Caitlyn Jenner, who has used her pre-transition name often in public, “It’s nonsensical to claim that once a very famous trans person has exhibited comfort using their old name and talking about their pre-transition life, any reference to that name or life is still verboten,” Singal insists.

Unfortunately for Singal, a persuasive counter-argument was made by Tuvel, author of the article in question. In a response to the criticism she writes: “I regret the deadnaming of Caitlyn Jenner in the article, which means that I referred to her birth name instead of her chosen name. Even though she does this herself in her book, I understand that it is not for outsiders to do and that such a practice can perpetuate harm against transgender individuals, and I apologize.”

I think it's the addition of a smug cartoon deer to the pedantry, anti-feminism, and concern trolling that pushed me over the edge.

My annoyance with the Singal situation is that people keep calling him a TERF. He's not a TERF. TERFs believe in some twisted "the only oppression is sex-based oppression against feeeeemales, even though I am very obviously utilizing sex-based oppression against trans women in my own position" logic. They think they're radical feminists. Singal doesn't. Singal's just a transphobic fuckhead going "Think of the CHILDREN (except the trans ones, they can go hang themselves)" and moaning about the secret trans lobby conspiracy silencing critics. I mean, there is more than one kind of transphobe, people.

Also Contra thinks he's not a transphobe despite all his prior bullshit... because he was nice to her, personally. I genuinely thought she was more aware than that. She gave him the benefit of the doubt, like an idiot, and he played her. I wish people wouldn't go off their nut calling her all sorts of nonsense, but buying into his bullshit was beneath her. She should have known better.

Well, you can't do what she does without being an optimist, I guess. But whenever someone asks Shaun what he thinks he's going to accomplish with all this, he quotes the latest "thank you" note he's gotten from a fan who used to be alt right but learned better from YouTube videos. I'm sure Contra has changed minds in the past.

His snotty voice does not help one little bit, either. I think the awful smug voices are what get me more than anything else, so TL;DR and Molyneaux are basically my kryptonite.

He has had to make up multiple dumb internet identities because he has become such a joke to gamergate people that they stopped taking him seriously. Think about that.
