and how was the sesh?

huh? if you use terms like 'retarded', 'autistic', 'down syndrome', etc as an insult, you're saying that to be those conditions is a bad thing, but having autism and having down syndrome are real life things that people have and those people can do amazing things

for example my teacher in secondary school was an autistic savant and he could read our multiple page essays just by glancing at the page. he absorbed all the information of the page at the same time. but Yight's gonna make fun of autistic savants when he's playing vs someone playing bad form in MGE. that's abelist and people just laugh at it like its a joke but it has effects on real people.

and because you're a cis het white male you're not gonna feel that because no ones making fun of you. you're not gonna catch Niko here saying 'wow i'm being so masculine' as self depreciation because its not seen as an insult, but 'wow i'm being so retarded' is because its seen as an insult

u see?

not trying to sound like im above anyone, i'm trying to educate people and hold people accountable when they do something wrong the same way people who say the N word irl get sanctioned.

your interpretation of my sense of humour is just your own perception, its not whats actually happening. the thread is just holding a member of the community accountable for toxic views. as an ally, im trying to do what i can to free up that abuse that you recieve and we haven't even really got that far with it to say if its helping or not.

lets see how niko responds to see whether or not its worth it. probably can assume he would be someone who would hurl abuse at you, but maybe we can open his mind to it.

its yone far too long. remember the tagg situation? that was a mess and now we'v lost onr of the greatest roamers of all time. its gotta stop

you saying 'chicks with dicks' is like when someone uses the n word hard r but says theyre not racist and how a non black could be a hard r n word. you don't see them as women you just she them as a guy in costume. its transphobic. if you were a minority you would understand why what someone says on the internet is because it reflects how people think in close doors. if IRL nobody said anything and on the internet everyone calls you a 'tr*nny' it reflects how the main population really feels about you but won't say it IRL because there's no repercussion

and look, youre using the R word to describe someone stupid. youre abelist and transphobic and you don't even know about it, but its common speech so you probably think i'm just chatting shit because youre doing what the main population are doing, but the influx of people using these real life states of identity that effects real people causes real life harm despite it being on the internet

hows it autistic? just recently we've had quite a big thread about Stephenie, a well known member of the community, being harrassed by two vandals on TF2 center. how is it 'autistic' that i want people to enjoy their hobby rather than live in fear that they will be attacked? or how when Nursey is mentioned in a twitch stream and the whole chat goes 'you mean him' ?

but of course, you're going to describe that as 'autistic' because you're an ableist so you're probably a transphobe at the same time. grow up fool

edit: just realized my remark of 'kid' was ageist so ive changed it. my mistake

its not about a cirejerk its just about him specifically because i kno about it. any homophobe, racist, misogynist, ableist or transphobe is gonna get exposed by me from nao on im not having it.

yeah thats why i thought this was a good idea to bring yo the public. it really is an issue we need to tackle as a community, telephone fan being a famous person where tonnes of players idolize him sets a terrible example to the youth wherein it creates a toxic environment to the most vulnerable. TF2 is a community rife with furries, homosexuals, transexuals, blacks, asians, mexicans, etc should be leading an example to the rest of the gaming realm

it has to stop NAO

yeah its really unfortunate. in a community so racially diverse and largely lgbt its tough when you find out you have a transphobe or should i say transphone on your friends list. im in a bit of a pickle here but my struggles isnt anything compared to the minorities that go through hardship every day of their existence

huh?

what's correct

recently discovered telephone fan is transphobic. is it problematic to keep him on my friends list? how does this effect the community's perception of him?

Tell us! >:o

what the heck do you mean by 'he seems kinda normie'

Dont say the R word
