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.

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

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
― sans lep (sic), Friday, 1 February 2019 05:49 (five years ago) link
because he’s so extremely online that he thinks that’s a huge break
― sans lep (sic), Friday, 1 February 2019 05:50 (five years ago) link
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
― mh, Friday, 1 February 2019 06:32 (five years ago) link
I didn't really understand all the ins and outs of gamergate but he posted about that all the time.
― kinder, Friday, 1 February 2019 09:50 (five years ago) link
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
― kinder, Friday, 1 February 2019 09:53 (five years ago) link
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.

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.

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
― gyac, Friday, 1 February 2019 10:28 (five years ago) link
aren't mermaids dodgy though? or am I thinking of another sexual abuse charity
― kinder, Friday, 1 February 2019 10:28 (five years ago) link
it depends what you mean by dodgy, all charities are flawed, it's a question of what your priorities are
― ogmor, Friday, 1 February 2019 10:31 (five years ago) link
xp think while some dodgy elements a lot of stuff has been seized on and inflated by anti trans groups.
― gyac, Friday, 1 February 2019 10:34 (five years ago) link
I see he is also now RTing campaigns to get Stonewall, an LGBT charity, to “reconsider” its policies on trans people. Normal!

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
