     I can't call him by his real name. He's forever burned into my brain as "le current year man".

     @PurpCat @casuist I watched John Oliver weekly with a friend at some point at some job, it was okaaaay until an episode where Brianna Wu was featured in some sort of "internet harassment" episode or whatever and I just couldn't watch since
     
     Don't these guys have literal research teams to prevent this? One look at her Twitter should've been enough

     @casuist lmao at Brianna Wu complaining at "progressives" and trying to be a "normal trans woman"
     
     Wu is literally insane troll that tried to cozy up to the big anti-GG usual suspects for fame but she was clearly too insane and too obviously a grifter for them

     @coolboymew @casuist this isn't really an anti trans thing but he had a show about transgender and his entire argument was "it's not hard to do the right thing" at the same time that the community was half and half on if "transgendered" was a bigoted term, and "look at how well these rich instagram models with millions of dollars in surgery pass"

     @coolboymew @casuist his shitty video didn't even get it right because tbh it's a god damn minefield and "normal" people are sensible to just avoid it and other minefields. Like, setting up "passing" requirements as the model to strive for. Does this mean if you don't fully pass, you fucked up? what if you don't believe in strict coded gender norms like long hair = woman etc?

     "it's not hard to do the right thing"
     
     I personally really hate this argument. But it's really similar to "Come on, it's the current year!!!!!!", I've seen a bunch of videos fully explaining on how this is really bad dogma
     
     But ultimately, "it's not hard to do the right thing" has come from people who absolutely won't do "the right thing" when it comes to your shit, it's empty moralising to people who already agrees and want to feel smug about it

     So many trans people end up doing really stupid gender essentialism in the other direction

     @sun @coolboymew @casuist I think passing is stupid because it's just beautiful standers. I thought women hated people objectifying them.

     @sun @casuist yeah, but putting "rich instagram models with tons of surgeries" as the bar to pass is, oof, a very high bar
     
     Unfortunately though, the reality is if you don't really pass at all though, you're gonna have a bad time regardless
     
     I've seen pics of a bunch of people on fedi saying they're not cute at all even though they do pass
     
     Although, most of his videos I've watched with a friend was extremely inoffensive stuff everyone would agree with, like groceries throwing away perfectly eatable produces by the tons and you're not allowed to get any of it. However, apparently, just like that adam ruins everything series, if you're in the know, they apparently get a shitload of things wrong in their research

     @coolboymew @casuist interestingly sarkeesian did a video about this with lego marketing and imo was one of the best researched and well made videos she had done

     @sun @casuist I recall the big first controversy around him was when he pushed that games marketing for boys thing shaped a generation and pushed women away, which was full of holes IIRC

     @coolboymew @casuist @sun games marketing for boys worked on lots of gay and gender non-conforming women, can confirm, it happened to me lol
