posts very much in character

the Supernatural ep where they go to a Supernatural fan convention was p brilliant
the two lead characters are brothers, just fyi (I understand the actors are not)

what is the demographic

the fandom may have aged but it was nearly all women in their late 20s to early 40s

Disrespectful way to talk about women and Limbaugh imo

xp that’s the case for most fandoms. Supernatural is unique for tons of reasons, but the strong conspiracy theory element amount lots of the fans would be up there.

I really enjoyed that "This Is America" video
Donald Glover has an unexpectedly appealing hair/beard/torso combination
The first Childish Gambino I listened to was the Awaken, My Love! album and it was excellent
I understand that he was not excellent for a while prior to that

redbone >>>>>>>> this is america imo

i agree with that but then i'm not sure i like anything else he's done but redbone

posts very much in cups

Glover is maybe my son's favourite artist and he is otm also I'm drunk

take one down pass it around

tbf community had a very strong nerd following along the lines of "the it crowd" and spawned a gazillion memes itself.
i kinda hate it, but that's neither here nor there

― Fuck the NRA (ulysses)

ok derail, i never really saw "the it crowd" but the guy who created it is a transphobic piece of shit? i mean did this just come out of nowhere or what? all i know about that guy is that brian eno had a cameo on "father ted". did the guy who made that show just go insane? i know that's a pretty common thing these days.

had no idea; those of in the US got it secondhand through streaming services and memes

it was one of the most-watched non-doctor who shows among nerdy friends

I missed most of it other than a few clips and recognizing actors from Nathan Barley because of my particular brand of nerdism

most-watched british shows in the usa, I mean

Linehan has always been a massive, massive cunt & Guinness world record holder for Most Thin-Skinned Man on Twitter, but seems to have flipped a new nutbag switch in the last year, in re fighting with his irl acquaintances and pretending to be his own assistant posting for him when he “quits” twitter, instead of just posting again six hours later

because he’s so extremely online that he thinks that’s a huge break

I have, thankfully, missed all that

I remember seeing the occasional funny shared thing when he first joined twitter but he’s somehow completely devoted to this weird crusade against people he doesn’t even try to understand

I didn't really understand all the ins and outs of gamergate but he posted about that all the time.

and again I don't see many of his tweets but I've definitely seen him amplifying trans voices (in a seemingly positive way)? Twitter sucks tho so who knows

It feels like he started out with a half-arsed comment then turned it into a full crusade cos he can't bear to be criticised but I don't care, I hope he dies soon.

He did/does have cancer I believe

God doing God's work then

glinner's monomaniacal crusade against trans activists has included campaigning to get mermaids (a charity offering advice for kids w/ gender dysphoria & their parents) defunded, which is what provoked prominent leftwing youtube gaming folk hero hbomberguy to run a marathon donkey kong 64 stream to raise money for them

a p definitive take on glinner comes up in this interview between hbomb and ash sarkar about that stream: https://novaramedia.com/2019/01/23/donkey-kong-is-beautiful-ash-meets-hbomberguy/

for less nuance consult this video in which hbomb calls glinner a pissboy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIM-GKRS9Vk

His official dumb stance is "I've nothing against trans ppl but women are right to want (cis) female only spaces LEGITIMATE CONCERNS"

Don't really see how bursting into cis women's space mumsnet to launch a campaign asking the govt to defund a charity that helps families with trans kids fits into that tho.

xpost

I assume it's like how Dawkins didn't start out racist but stumbled into it quickly and easily because he's right Goddammit and how dare you tell him he's not

AKA the curse of Twitter

Yeah but you need the will to be a scumbag in the first place

Yes, t's just surprising quite how many people have such a will.

Glinner is way past irredeemable at this stage, he loves to cute his feminist credentials because he supported the legalisation of abortion in Ireland, but much anti trans rhetoric is stirred up, perpetuated and spread by campaigners funded by pro-life groups in the US. Where he’s tweeted trans people approvingly, it’s those who agree with them, and women who don’t agree with him are “handmaidens” (ie sex slaves). Tl;dr NV otm

aren't mermaids dodgy though? or am I thinking of another sexual abuse charity

it depends what you mean by dodgy, all charities are flawed, it's a question of what your priorities are

xp think while some dodgy elements a lot of stuff has been seized on and inflated by anti trans groups.

I see he is also now RTing campaigns to get Stonewall, an LGBT charity, to “reconsider” its policies on trans people. Normal!

Ban Twitter.

When I think about him, and I try not to think about him, my first thought is invariably "what the fuck is wrong with you?"

Bigoted nutcases love to get corncobbed on twitter 24/7

lol at the gammon lineham convo taking place in this thread btw

that one Ted & Ralph sketch was good though

Pretty sure none of those sketches were good and I hate the Fast Show's horrible invention of emo comedy

Here's the only good Fast Show bit, for balance

I was thinking of mesmac.
Yes I'd forgotten about the Repeal vote which must be why I had him pegged as sympathetic. but seen random ranting since then I guess.

I don’t follow him or anything, but afaik his politics have been totally sjw-tacular until his mental “trans rights are an excuse for men to hide in Real women’s bathrooms, and charities want to mutilate teenagers’ genitals” crusade

thanks all, seems like a straightforward case of Twitter Derangement Syndrome then

i don't think we should ban twitter, but i do think all twitter users except dril should be banned

Should we lock this thread too?

The best ever Nirvana album was named "Two of Us" and was released in 1968.

HE COMES

The definitive answer to all these questions lies in our future. We'll know more when it arrives.

Never thought I would see Geir return in my time, was gone but not forgotten by the time I came here.
