gonna say it, jorp and these other weirdos are mad because they used to jerk off to nudes of page and now they are mad that he came out and transitioned because they "feel dirty" or some poo poo.

Earlier in his career pre-transition elliot looked very young, and in juno looked very under-age, which is probably why he got the part he was playing a 14 year old or whatever. This is why they're so so mad.
They saw him as a sex object that just happened to look like a child, and that was stolen from them by uh... woke libs? The trans thing is just an extra level of bullshit on top of it, but I think that's the heart of the issue for them and why they're dwelling on it.

Remember when David Cage hid an unauthorized nude render of pre-transition Elliot in one of his lovely games?

On the one hand I feel bad for all the bullshit Elliot's had to deal with, on the other hand he owned all those freaks pretty hard by coming out.

Ugh this reminds me of the website that had the countdown to when what's her name from Harry Potter would be of legal age.

Gross gross gross

Like, with her and women like Natalie Portman, I just can't see them in that way even when they get older- because I first saw them when they were just kids.

Same with the Olsen twins. They were literally babies at the start of Full House but when they were teenagers there was a countdown for them turning 18 too. 🤮

Scott Adams has been a mentally unwell guy for as long as I've seen him on twitter. He said he voted for Hillary because Trump voters would be hunted in the streets, became obsessed with "debunking" the "Charlottesville hoax" (claiming Trump didn't say the "very fine people" quote about Nazis and even got into it with a nobody like me about it), and got super into election conspiracy bullshit regarding the last presidential election. The only thing he's had his head on straight about was vaccines and his audience was not fond of that one.
I used to be a big fan of Dilbert back in middle school and early high school (mid-to-late 90's). Obviously, I had never worked in a cubicle, and I didn't quite know what an engineer was, but I liked the comics and I liked what I understood from this pseudo-non-fiction books (The Dilbert Principle and The Dilbert Future). I kept up with Adams and Dilbert until the early 2000s, and I didn't come back to any of his work until I (ILLEGALLY) downloaded an epub of his biographical How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big. From what I remember:

Adams, along with other C-listers like Wil Wheaton, was one of the first mildly famous persons to go strong on blogging. He blogged daily, then multiple times per day, and then put more focus on blogging his thoughts than cartooning. His books I listed above were based on or copy/pasted out of his blog posts. He had thousands of daily readers who visited his blog to read what the funny office man had to say. This was paired with being paid tons of money to do lectures based on his Dilbert Principle (or something, I don't even know what he had to say because he readily admits he only worked in a office for a couple years before getting burned out), Adams realized that his thoughts were worth money, and the more thoughts he had, the more money he could make.

I remember how proud he was to constantly bring up "I'm a scrawny ugly nerd, but my girlfriend is a smoking hot model and I get to bang hot chicks all the time!!!" He was obviously stuck in that in that teenage "jocks versus nerds" mindset with his self-esteem, but loved the idea that he could say almost whatever he wanted in his blog and lectures and he'd get paid. This lead to him becoming more of a goblin over time once he started getting into weird internet political movements that gave him confidence to say crazy poo poo. He was definitely one of the first non-shut-ins to get into the Red Pill PUA thing and broadcast it in his blog posts and Twitter, and, like many people, his brain completely broke once Trump started campaigning. I am pretty sure at one point his publisher actually had some say in how much his topics could skew into weirdo land, but that obviously ended a long time ago.

Basically, he was given a large platform to say whatever he wanted and get paid to do so, and it all went to his head and made him insane and start using it as an outlet for all the mental issues he should have been letting out in a closed-door therapy session. He truly believes his words have tremendous social value since he has been doing verbal and written diarrhea out to an audience for nearly three decades. The fact that he actually does have tens of thousands of people that agree with him means he is emboldened to go whatever direction is best for his wallet and fan base. Like many before him, there's a lot of money in rightwing outrage, and he has really tapped into that market.

Probably this, because Posobiec, Jorp, et al. are simpletons at their core and are sexualizing Elliot's transition because their lizard brains just can't process it from any other angle. But I also kind of want to say it's:

"They" = The woke mob boogeyman/LGBTQ super villain agenda with their brainwashing superpowers they use to convert people for reasons
"Us" = The rightful, patriarchal owners of women

And then of course they have to use the word "took" because Elliot (when he was still "Ellen") was just an inhuman sexual object with no inner world or persona and somehow none of this was his own decision making.

His audience loves it. I've seen a bunch of them on twitter go "what meltdown??" when people mock him. Saw one guy trying to defend him in the Zizek debate where he objectively made an rear end of himself.

I bet they also still find him attractive and it's loving with their minds. Page has delicate facial features that are attractive on men and women, and his face hasn't changed, plus he still has a slight frame

Also Elliot Page is very good-looking, and it probably makes them so angry that a ton of women think he's hot. I mean, I'm a straight cis woman and I would absolutely go on a date with him, should I be so lucky. I would choose Page over Jorp and his kind any day, based purely on appearance. Plus Page is a cool and interesting person, no one has a bad thing to say about him, and he doesn't sound like Kermit the Frog
