I hate to bring up the antiwork drama again and fuck that mod for being a sex pest, but before I heard about their wrong doing I was a bit excited to see someone who was trans, neurodivergent, not traditionally beautiful, and underemployed finally getting a say at something. For like a brief second I felt the least bit of representation. Then they started getting attacked for how they looked, for being trans, for not being an alpha chad roughneck oil worker, etc. and it became a shitshow.
See, the moment I saw they were trans I was like "oh no" because I knew that was going to be the thing they would latch on to. I honestly wonder if Fox News didn't pick them for precisely that reason.
A guy being cringe is just a guy being cringe, but a trans person being cringe is because all trans people are cringe.

That shit effects anyone who isn’t white and straight and is honestly one of the most obvious aspects of white and cishet privilege.
Around Christmas my cousin was talking about how they listen to various political talk radio shows to “get a broad understanding sniff” he talked about the right wing show, the ‘left’ wing show, and then He said “there’s a black political show” he listened to and that “the blacks were mad” about something and like fuckin lol, ok all black people feel this way bc some guy on satellite radio said something. :lmayo:
Your cousin sounds like this old friend of mine who I rarely catch up with anymore. He has caught the anti-woke brain worms. After getting called out for his narrow views (by a couple of his Exes) he expanded his purview by listening to “a Black podcast.” His choice? Bad Faith. He listened to the episode where a panel questioned Why White people liked the Beatles so much when they aren’t very good. He took it all very literally and responds to everything in a very debate bro, logic™ manner without seeing the larger conditions.
Lol damn I was thinking “well there’s worse ones than bad faith” but never overestimate a mayos ability to be fragile I guess haha
Whats frustrating is my cousin is gay but they’re from the wealthy side of the family so they have big “dude who puts ‘no blacks lol just preference’ in their Grindr bio” energy. Idk literally everyone in my family sucks shit lol
She picked herself. Fox just sent a request asking to interview someone from /r/antiwork.
The interviewer wasn't even cruel. He was oddly sympathetic. He just let her hang herself with her own rope. It was like watching a car crash in slow motion, the bodies jerk forward and slam into the dash.
Yeah if she was a muscular white miner no one would've cared about "representation". Hell they wouldn't even care about they walking dogs for a living. Clearly shows what the sub thinks about who can have a voice.
BTW there's a post pinned about wage inequality for trans people on r/antiwork steadily being downvoted as well.
Yeah there were screenshots from a couple years ago of when they apparently posted some fucked up not-apology on facebook detailing a bunch of SA they’d committed. idk if it was fake or not.

If they did it's smart on their part. Who knows honestly.
they know their base, this was intentional

jfc 37% upvoted. Fuck that sub, I'm glad they banned me from their discord.
You got a link to that? I’d love to read it, thanks.

https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/ It's the second pinned post
Not surprised but still.
The mod was a sex pest? I didn't hear about that before.
Apparently so, there was proof but I didn't save the links.
There goes a lot of my sympathy. :deeper-sadness:
a reddit mod got on tv, you knew there would be skeletons in that closet. She still shouldn't have been attacked for being trans or not being pretty.
Agreed.
Fox knew exactly who to target on so many levels. :capitalist-laugh:
