Speaking of brainworms, it seems like MMA gives you contact brainworming about COVID. Seems like half of the drat sport figured they're such physical specimens that they'll simply outlast and survive COVID - then a fighter goes down for months after catching it.

You'd think that Rogan being close to those people would snap him out of it, but gotta be that alpha male bro to punch out COVID instead of those pansy-rear end needles.

Dude had loving Osterholm on the show near the start of COVID, so Rogan's chuddening is basically inexcusable.

I've enjoyed trueanon more than Chapo this past year. Hit and miss but the hits are great. I feel like Chapo basically blew up the band during and after the Bernie campaign. Still some good stuff tho

I'll listen to Rollins talk about just about anything. His spoken word albums can be credited with starting to get me on the road away from the Right Wing. He also put to words the description of how I like to be.

"I'm unflinchingly polite and capably violent."

E- his recounting of 'Punk Rock Hyenas' on Comedy Central is fantastic. He's told the story a bunch of times, but that's one of his better retellings.

Oh word Rollins had the same effect on me. I was halfway through college in a very backwater Southern University that was full of what would be Chuds today and/or baptists and I was rabidly anti-gay etc due to being brought up in an evangelical household.

Listening to Rollins talk about and be open to bisexuality in the club scenes they were playing in etc was probably one of the 1st things that made me start becoming more tolerant.

I genuinely believe Rogan has done enough weird research psychotropics that part of his consciousness no longer resides on our plane of reality. The man would probably read through the classic phenazepam threads and go "ha ha yeah man I've been there" at all the stories.

Yeah, I understand that when your 4th eye opens, it kinda closes the 1st eye, so reality seems kinda instinctual. But I only understand that because I have done about 1/100th of the amount of psychotropics and dojo meditations as Rogan.

The funniest thing with Burr is a lot of his fanbase doesn't realize he's making fun of them whenever he starts talking about loving stupid toxic masculinity is (without using those specific words), so you get a lot of MRA/Chud-adjacent idiots lapping it up without realizing they're the punchline.

If they are full trans there's no issues, its still a stupid thing:

Oh man, I never thought it'd be me walking the line of :biotruths: but LEEETS GOOOO

Sure in the average human a lady can beat a dude and a translady can beat a transdude in a fight and every combination can fite. Ezpz so many examples.

When you are comparing humans at their peak performance trained as a killing machines 6 days a week, 10 hours a day, chasing chickens and eating them whole, in the service of competing a heavily regimented sport combat ~then~ there are stark differences between the capabilities of a dude, a lady, a transdude, and a translady. Depending on the pathway chosen to transition, there's many disqualifying drugs and procedures that have a performance altering affect on the human. For it to be equitable for the competitors the individual trans would have to transition like buckwild early like childhood, which like cool if they exist, and cool if they fall into mma, but the specific mma example of Fallon Fox really bothered me. The other competitors were not informed of Fallon's transition until after Fallon broke a fighter's skull. Sure the board knew, but gently caress the board they only in it for money.

Dude, you should've just stopped when you realized you were posting a :biotruths: and questioned why you felt the need to defend it.

gently caress biotruths and gently caress gender roles in sports of any sort. Fallon's actions DO NOT justify your supposed claim about "Well, Biotruths." No, the call out should've been that it was excessive force, not anything to do with her transition. Its none of the other competitors business about her transition. If the testosterone is not there and she is cleared by lab results, she's a woman and she can fight other women.

The reality is more MMA is just excessively violent and maybe we need to question that rather than gender roles in the blood-sports.

This was a very interesting article. I admit this is a subject I don't know much about and have been trying to learn and understand it more. I still don't know how I feel about children being given that much input on themselves, a part of me wants to say it is not something they understand. But it is definitely something I don't understand as well. The article paints a pretty safe picture of transition and I would love to believe that is the case but here in the U.S. but with our health care system, it worries me.

Sports whatever. This is contact fighting bloodsport. There is risk of injury and death. Someone can choose to take on that risk when they set up the fight, but every women on Fox's fight record were not informed they were fighting against someone who spent the first 25 years of their life as a dude gettin pumped in the Army. That was not equitable or fair for any of the other competitors.

I feel like if transwomen were actually super athletes then there would be a whole lot more elite transwomen athletes. Fallon Fox is a good example - she's a b leager who lost to the only opponent she ever had with a Wikipedia entry.

You are literally making the argument that the GOP is in passing anti-trans laws, so maybe just quit while you are ahead and stop trying to defend the biotruths.

Its a contact fighting bloodsport, as you said. Train assuming your opponent will be some person who spend years training as hard as you, if not harder. This has nothing to do with their gender, whether they are trans, etc.

Stop promoting anti-trans bullshit. It has no basis in reality other than spreading FUD about trans athletes.

Racism and sexism are systems. Anyone living according to the norms of society at some point will be sexists and racists, including you, period.

Joe Rogan isn't "a racist" like Keith Richards; he's a racist because he makes his living perpetuating a backwards status quo by constantly reacting negatively to things that are not violent, white, cismale, and straight; and for inviting racists, sexists, fascists, and bigots to promogulate their fascist ideals.
