It's ironic really, because the BBC is one of the biggest purveyors of wokeshit in the country. The BBC shows performative 'even-handedness' by putting out articles that appease the fringe elements of both sides of the political spectrum. So for every article that the troons get up in arms about, there's a 'No Whites Allowed' internship for the English Defense League to kick off about. It farms clicks well enough.
Rate me optimistic if you must, but I think even the BBC are recognising troons are a different breed of crazy.
I feel like most people here have never even seen a troon in the flesh unless they went to uni or live in the American colony of London. Outside of that they're practically unheard of outside of the one local weirdo everyone made fun of in the past.
I agree, having grown up in a countryside village and moved to a city, the difference in the amount of alphabet people between the two places is absolutely night and day. When I was at secondary school (12-18 Y/O for American readers) there were 2 gay lads, a lesbian and a couple of girls who claimed bisexuality for attention. When I moved to university, almost every other person was some flavour of LGBTQPIA+-^6.
I'm in agreement with Null on a point he made in some stream a while ago, troons are almost a favourable hire for a business. They have a great diversity image (Trans Woman, 'Neurodivergent' etc), a male brain when it comes to problem solving and little or no family commitments. For the kind of research rat, menial shit jobs that media internships usually entail these are pretty ideal traits. In terms of public facing roles less so, but I can see at least BBC Three having a trans lead for some sort of show, that channel panders as hard as it possibly can to wokesters.
I also agreed with Null when he said that, especially since I think a lot of them secure these positions before they troon out, but as the troon question becomes more and more polarised and public opinion shifts I can see it reaching a point where they're just not worth the hassle.
Almost a favorable hire. You get to check a lot of boxes, but at the same time you get someone who has an incredibly high chance of causing workplace drama, and someone who's liable to break down and need "self care" on the regular and therefore is less productive as a worker. And that's completely disregarding their constant, often unreasonable (and financially draining) demands for their workplace environment.
(Editing in a quote to avoid doubleposting.)
Sad but true. Tabletop gaming in general has been totally co-opted by People of Gender. Interestingly, Warhammer in general seems to be the only gaming-adjacent topic that Jimbo hasn't looked into. There's plenty of stuff in there for him to complain about, I wonder if he'll ever touch it?
what an amazing thumbnail
A surprisingly tolerable and straightforward episode today. No capitalism or gender fluff, just 14 minutes of breaking down every problem found so far with the new GTA definitive trilogy.
Jim's argument is so weak, it only lasts 3:05 minutes.
I'd chalk it up as a win if other channels hadn't already broke it down, better, while this lazy fuck waited til Monday to cover it.
