One moment left.
One point of space and time.

For the hardcore it's not a hobby but a full time job and they quickly grow to hate it. You can see easily in their streams how miserable they are, but they gotta play 12 hrs a day and be online the rest of the time to keep those subscribers and get that $30k a year.

Well, on the tour, the film said they used frog DNA to fill in the gene sequence gaps. They mutated the dinosaur genetic code and blended it with that of a frog's. Now, some West African frogs have been known to spontaneously change sex from male to female in a single sex environment. Malcolm was right. Look... Life found a way

I feel like I'm being a buzzkill, but as a trans woman I don't particularly like the ripping on Jones for watching trans porn. Not because he doesn't suck or that he's not a hypocrite. It's more that, intentionally or not, it still kinda perpetuates the vibe that there's some kind of shame in being attracted to trans women. It still kinda frames us as the other even as it's used as an attempt to otherize Jones himself. Not sure if I'm articulating that perfectly but basically it just feels like more "lol t***** porn" except now we're the second layer of the punchline instead of the first.

Also because I hate being reminded trans porn exists because pornographers seem incapable of titling a video or naming a trans porn actress without using at least one slur. It's no wonder we're disgusting monsters in the conservative male psyche since they're all seeing slurs for us in the corner of their vision while they quest around youporn or whatever.

Hey, there's not shame in watching trans porn unless you're some culture warrior who is adamantly against LGBT people. Maybe the line between "haha, hypocite" and "haha, translover" isn't that clear this time, but it's very much about the former.

If we were doing the latter, we'd be the people this thread is about!

this is sort of what i mean. i know the intentions are pure (for most folks itt at least), but you inadvertently repeat a pattern that as a trans woman i've experienced over and over in my life. i hate to use the word "trigger" but it's sort of like that. the jokes being made are adjacent to jokes that have left pretty nasty psychological scars for me so they're setting me off even though they're not intended with malice toward trans people.

i guess I'm trying to use this as a teachable moment about how well-intentioned comments and expressions can still become microaggresions because the majority isn't super aware of the patterns that are really obvious and painful to the minority.

i'm sure someone's gonna breathlessly call me a scold and an sjw now but dammit that's how i feel :(

It's entirely fair given you've been extremely clear over what's upsetting you and why.

I feel like this probably needs some context; specifically anti-trans statements that Alex Jones has made that would be in conflict with him consuming porn involving trans people.

Ya, if Jones was pro-trans people, it would be only mildly funny in "lol, you forgot to turn off your tab."

I mean, I probably understand (or... get) that this might not help much when confronted with triggers (which are by they nature kinda immune to reason), but this really isn't about Alex Jones watching trans porn, but about Alex Jones watching trans porn while being a grand ol' homophobe.

It's like the stereotype of catching some anti-gay, Biblethumper, family values Respublican with a gay prostitute: the hypocrisy is so stereotypical it hurts.
