A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms.

Enthusiasms, enthusiasms...

I was thinking of amazing stories or whatever those pulp comics were

Seriously, I'm confused about the Lineham tweet. Does he hate GG because he's one of those people who really hates video games?

This guy's only been on my radar since the trans charity stream thing but he definitely seems like one of those "EXTREMELY MALE FEMINIST ALLY" types, who only support feminism when it doesn't personally offend them at all.

He's basically a feminist in the sense that he wants something to be pissed off about that he can get social cred for, just like every other TERF. Never mind that the facts that destroy that view can be understood by children and some dolphins

He's a bit too old and is a bit too successful in real life to be into GG.

in 99% of situations where people use "terf," it's more accurate to use "transphobe" instead. let's not reinvent the wheel here

Obviously there are a lot of lazy people here. And, presumably, people who like that you can make "TERF war" and "SWERF and TERF" jokes.

i thought linehan was just some random video game personality but apparently he was a writer for british comedy shows, including the IT Crowd. it's amazing how every single verified comedian on twitter has become completely broken

i'd say that's true but people used "transphobe" a lot on twitter before "terf" became the insult of choice :shrug:

terf is better as a slur because it's single syllable and it also implies that the person in question is being a bad feminist

they're right that it's a slur, it's just a descriptive slur in the way calling someone a nazi is a descriptive slur
