Yeah, today's episode even ended with Emma saying "thanks for the call, man!" to a trans woman who stated her pronouns at the beginning of the call. Great!
This is of course my perspective, but it sounded like that caught the caller off guard a lot and her tone changed when she said bye. Like 30 seconds later Matt apologized for Emma saying Emma says man to everyone lol. Gonna go ahead and say don't just assume someone wants to be called man
Holy fuck Emma sucks. I know she has big shoes to fill, but I'm not even saying she's bad because she can't balance humor and seriousness like Michael could (who can?) or because she's not as funny as Michael was (who is?), she's just really fucking awful on her own merits.
Michael and Jamie challenged Sam and pulled the overall show to the left at least a little bit. From the little I've listened to since Michael's passing, it really seems like Emma just stews in the same tepid succdemmery that Sam does
"As a trans woman" I honestly hate that kinda shit so much, especially when you've been explicit about your pronouns. Cis people don't know how invalidating getting called "man" is when you've fought for years to be seen as a woman. And the "oh they just call everyone dude/man" thing is BS. It's easy to avoid if you actually try. The more it's waived off as being "fine because they do it to everyone" the more that person doesn't learn to adapt and change their language.
This show really went down the tubes once Michael passed and Jamie left, huh?
Sam plugged Va*sh to one of his callers last week and I died a little inside.

Sam is like me and the only thing of V**sh he's seen is when he went on Tim Pool's show and made him look like a fool.
I don't doubt it, but I try so hard to avoid hearing about him (aside from visiting this site, obv)
I can't say I try to avoid hearing about him, but at any rate, this site is the main place from which I do hear about him, as well.
:desolate:

How so?
Her politics, mainly.
