Isn't even Transformer trans? Like, in general, they trans their everything. They're cars. They're people. And if they ever indicate gender at all, they picked it themselves.

really living the dream

Yes. They're born as essentially blank slates, barring the massive super Transformers. They pick everything about themselves physically as they "grow", unless they were machines that were turned into Transformers (by giving said machines a spark, or soul).

A few shows went into this, showing what a newly born Transformer looks like before developing their own "adult" appearance.

Take 1 tablet by mouth daily.
When I was a child I watched Transformers cartoons. I owned Transformers toys. As an adult I have seen multiple live action Transformers movies. Do I remember any of it? No.

My only ACTUAL Transformers memory? Chugging a 16oz bottle of Robotussin in 2001 and watching the 1986 animated film with a surprisingly stacked cast. It took about 7 hours:

Like with everything Transformers this varies quite a bit over incarnations, and often has multiple things going on. And the implications of sentient beings who are also various forms of machinery, vehicles and hardware are also explored, often with the Autobots and Decepticons starting as factions of a rebellion against slavery.

Often they are quite surprised to hear how organic life reproduces.

I can't bring proof because web search sucks for everything now, I'm not on twitter and I'm not the kind of psycho who keeps spreadsheets of my posting enemies, but I remember what VVG is talking about. Not down to the exact detail, but in general terms.

Basically, there was this absolute no name trans woman on Twitter, like two or three digit follower count. She lived in Iceland with some friends, and they had their living situation set up in, as she described it, as close to cooperatively owned housing as Icelandic law would allow. For whatever reason, this meant that she was technically the owner and the others were technically tenants. And one day she tweeted about how she'd had to throw out one of her housemate's guests from a party the previous night because they were getting pushy and handsy.

That should have been seen by basically nobody and caused no drama because it's completely innocuous, but Alice found out about it somehow and decided to go ahead and quote tweet it for her relatively huge and very stupid following, with some comment along the lines of "All landlords get the rope" attached.

So that got the poor woman dogpiled, then that dogpile blew up and Alice got shouted at and subtweeted some people and locked down her twitter, and the Well There's Your Problem podcast, which she's a part of, vaguetweeted in support of her, and the rest of the insanely broke brained twitter drama cycle happened, but as dumb as the roiling masses of Twitter mobs always are the inciting incident was still a really hosed up thing for Alice to do.

This must have been in early to mid 2019, because Well That's Your Problem started in 2019 and it must have been before the pandemic.

Too cute to be evil

I'm pretty sure the two named female characters in that movie talk exclusively about their father and one woman's boyfriend, but sure, flying colors. The most I remember about it was how green alien lady looked completely disgusted every time protagonist dude was around, but that was apparently a sign of true love.

I unfollowed Alice because of her endless Twitter slap fights where you had to click through like 60 quote tweets to even see what the argument was about.

This one wasn't bad, but one time she went on a long tirade about the McElroy brothers without really going into whatever her grievance was with them. It's not like they're hard to ignore if you're not part of the Tumblr crowd.

I remember a similar incident during the start of the pandemic. Alice was suggesting that British nurses should be excused from paying rent because they couldn't afford it after having to buy their own and their patient's PPE during the pandemic. And some middle class icelandic woman who sublets a room in her apartment said they should be happy to starve as long as it prevents middle class landlords like her from becoming poor. And Alice decided that that means we should kill all landlord adjacent people irregardless of other circumstances.
At least that is how Alice explained things on her podcast, I only read twitter through this thread.

Roland Jones posted:

Hey, now, that's not fair. They also do stuff like tell people to kill themselves on Twitter for criticizing musicians they like, then use the official WTYP Twitter account to magnify the issue, rally fans behind them, and pretend that the issue is the person they're harassing is a landlord* instead of someone who thinks that defending transphobes is bad even if the person doing so is a musician that Alice likes.

Though the WTYP account claims it was DNE making those tweets; that contradicts what I remember them saying in past episodes about who runs that account, though. Also DNE doesn't seem like the kind of guy to spend at least seven hours making jokes about being cancelled and defending Alice's decision to imply other trans people should kill themselves, but maybe I'm wrong there.

I guess we'll find out when they spend five minutes talking about it at the start of the next episode.


*Person who rents out rooms in the house they also live in at half the going rate to cover costs and maintenance, has not charged rent at all since the COVID-19 crisis started, and has pushed to change the laws in their country that make it actually illegal for (unmarried) people to co-own the same individual house so that they can turn their house into a co-op.

I tried watching the third one on a plane. My bullshit threshold drops significantly when I’m above large bodies of water for some reason. It was an unwatchable pile of dreck and I had to turn it off at about 20 minutes in. I watched the first one probably 10 times so far.
