so i'm kinda out of hte loop, was the meltdown last thread because Travis was insufferably cringe in someone else's stream and it piled up wiht all the smaller annoyances he's known for?

there's a lot of people who used to be McElroy fans that sort of keep an eye on things still and that was a big enough meltdown that got spread far enough that it caught everyone's attention combined with the fact that it happened two days after he was "on a break" from social media for another incident

he's streaming right now on twitch with a bunch of much younger fans

Why did they mention that she was trans? It never came up in the story didn’t griffin just say oh by the way lup is trans

inferis

If it has nothing to do with the plot it’s kind of weird to out a trans person in a world where literally you can magically change genders.

inferis

Trans isn’t necessarily an identity for everyone, since Lup never said anything about it one way or the other in the text of the show then her identity is a woman.

When did lup out herself trans? When did she say it was an important part of her identity that she wanted everyone to know?

Something about them interviewing Justin about this instead of Griffin is extremely funny to me.

Justin is who they talked to about Travis being bad in the vice article, he must be the only one willing to talk to press

If that was the case it was a pretty wishy washy answer he gave when asked directly about trans children.

https://twitter.com/JoboGinger/status/1382450278457339911

Also I looked up the article and it was a ‘criticism of the charity’ by saying trans children should not be able to access gender related healthcare.

I don’t like jesse thorn but it’s a reasonable question and he offered to let him elaborate all he wanted in a follow up and then declined to send his recording.

And keep in mind he didn’t just criticize the charity in isolation, this was part of a large amount of public figures trying to get a grant pulled from a charity because they don’t think children know their own gender.

I think the way he phrased it intentionally made it sound like it was something about how they are mismanaged it or misappropriated funds or something like that but the criticism in the original article was specifically that children should not be allowed to take puberty blockers that are prescribed by doctors.

All you need to know about graduation is that someone made up a character in a character guide on Reddit and it instantly became the most popular one with the most fan art.

There are multiple points in that where Travis is trying to talk and his mic gets cut off or faded out
