yea totally by guy stuff i just mean those traditional associations, which is how the guys in the 'positive masculine role model' category are identified

Aragorn was just a hot guy that used his strength to protect the little guys. He didn't have to do that but if he hadn't that would have made him a weird guy

Pedro Pascal is a just a guy thats good at what he does and is normal about his sister being trans

He testifies: “These children are being targeted almost as if it’s a game… One day they’re all shot in the head, the next day in the neck, and another day in the testicles… There is a clear and deliberate pattern to the injuries.”

who are you referencing here?

again, not trying to come for FD here, I've just been following this discourse somewhat closely and have a different perspective on it, and want to hear more from other viewers/creators. Also, I'll link the criticisms I'm referring to below

the way people are talking about the backlash gives me the impression that these arguments aren't being considered; maybe bc people genuinely haven't seen them, or maybe because they're also being interpreted as "takedowns" and not political criticism?

there is a toxic fringe, and there always will be, but there's also people like hasan, badempanada, kavernacle, shaun, big joel, and others, people who've been involved, at least in part, with online pro palestine media coverage, and whose criticisms towards Contrapoints' post were (imo) substantive

there are conversations to be had about things like the political utility of words like zionist, or the immobilizing effect footage of gaza can sometimes have on us, but if u haven’t said shit for 2 years, you don’t get to start them. let alone use them as a way to justify your silence

I have but i feel a good amount of viewers haven’t so i need to own them hard so that they move on

the other thing is how like, nobody asked? the online pro palestine movement wasn’t sitting around in agony waiting for a gaza contrapoints video.
no one cares. to break the silence with this, though, this lib zionist drivel, all bc of some mean twitter people? I mean that’s just kinda wild

yeah he did, i just feel beholden to also address it publicly having regrettably built the start of my channel as the BreadTube Discourse Maker

its the most jam packed with trash reddit post i’ve ever read which means theres lots to talk about, but also there probably isn’t really, on account of it being a reddit post
