    If that's what you got from my posts, then maybe I haven't been clear enough.

    My stance is that "men could pretend to be women to do crimes!" is an idea that people have regularly used to oppose and attack trans rights for as long as the discussion of trans rights has existed.
    And that contributing towards keeping that fear prevalent in the collective zeitgeist, whether deliberately or not, is harming the trans community.

    See above.

    I cant think of anything worse then this game catering to the SJW twitter culture.

    These constant news articles from wowhead /disable comments for good measure are tiring to read and just create this negative combatitive atmosphere between the people that think all these changes are virtue signaling BS (like me) and the "woke" crowd who finds anything and everything offensive.... especially the stuff they were not even aware of in the game.

    That's a bit of a stretch, but I guess I'll concede that that is a thing that the character and movie have in common.

    And yeah. I doubt anyone would be complaining at that. Though to be fair, I don't think particularly many people ever complained about Finkle Einhorn either.

    It was just a weird, slightly icky reference that no one gave a second thought to until it was changed.

    Attacking anyone physically is just as messed up but like...people are literally getting away with murdering trans people and all they need to say is "They lied and told me they were a woman/man but they weren't" even if that person wasn't getting physically intimate. It's disgusting.

    Except no one makes that connection unless you inhabit an ecosystem where such logic is prevalent.

    "Ugh I really wish marginalized groups would stay hated. I'm boycotting Blizzard for not being driven like hatred like I am."
    Like...ok dude.

    This just reminds me of when trans people co-opted the term trap that the anime community had been using with no problems before to refer to males with feminine characteristics only in order to take offense to it and call for the word to be made into a hateful slur that may not be used by anyone anymore.

    why yes, I hate (((marginalized))) groups of "people", how could you tell?
    There is absolutely zero evidence of people claiming to be trans just to assault people in bathrooms. As a matter of fact, the opposite has happened. There have been people barging into bathrooms, demanding to see people's genitals to make sure they're in the right bathroom. But ya know....nice burner account. Hopefully the mods ban you soon.

    The only reason it's acted as ""I was raped"" by Ace Ventura is for the sake of comedic exaggeration. The movie does not take any stance on homosexuality or transexualism, it's a light comedy where Jim Carrey make funny faces.

    For the most part, I do agree. I love Ace Ventura, I think it's a goddamn hoot. I just also think that the "Einhorn is a man" joke(s?) have aged really really badly.

    I play WoW for escapeism not to enter a clone of society. This day and age are so sick every last mentally ill person must be protected (IN A VIDEO GAME) from anything that they can perceive as offensive. I just don't get how people live for the sole reason to find anything and everything that they are offended by it just blows my mind how people are this feminised today, it's baffling.


    Big surprise the SJW was from Southern Cali.

    In all honesty, you'd need one catered to Californian sensibilities and then one catered to American and European sensibilities.

    Oh you mean the case that has no actual evidence proving that the attacker was wearing a skirt and only said he was to drum up hatred towards transgender individuals? you mean the 15 year old who had sexually assaulted someone else 5 months prior but was allowed back to school anyway? you mean the teenager who didn't identify as trans AT ALL and attacked someone while allegedly wearing a skirt inside a CLASSROOM and not a bathroom?

    If you're going to make hate filled comments, try actually knowing the facts first. You can stop now.

    I will always be surprised by Californian imperialism. It's like they live in their own bubble where they are the ones who call what's what, and ignore every critique as hateful bigoted fascists.
    Even funnier is that they aren't even minorities themselves often, or they put forward some token trans-black-lesbian who is highly paid.

    For us minorities, we're less heard than ever. Our voices and language has been taken over by the patriarchy masquerading as progressive.

    No. My solution is not using groups of people who are already treated like trash in society as the butt of a fucked up joke. Plenty of movies are funny without needing to make incredibly offensive comments.
    No. Jokes are jokes. "People A are disadvantaged so we can't make fun of them" & "People B are advantaged so it's okay to make fun of them" is still a BS double standard.

    The way to fix people being unequal / treated with a double standard is to start treating people equally - not to switch to the exact opposite double standard to make people equal "in balance". This is a situation where two wrongs don't make a right.

Doesn't matter if she looks like a cave troll, doesn't matter if her genitalia doesn't match what you want, doesn't matter if she is unable to bear you children because of her original forced gender, doesn't matter if she keeps it hidden and doesn't reveal it to you so you feel there is a major breach of trust, doesn't matter one jot if she "isn't your type", or you just simply do not find her attractive in any shape or form, or she has the personality of a gorilla.

    *You* are the asshole for not wanting to have sex with her or find her attractive, and you need to adjust your entire thought process to fit in with the beliefs of a minority.

    Let's just say we flipped it, and said that every straight woman needs to find every man attractive, else they are a bigot and need to be ostracised legally and socially. See how dumb that is, and imagine the screeching that would happen.
    We are sadly reaching this level of stupidity.

    Everyone should be protected at a legal standpoint. Everyone should have equal rights, and not live in fear of being ostracised or against the system.
    But that doesn't give people the right to try and force a view on someone else when they do not wish it, or to try and forcibly change the mind of someone else in a thought police sense. That way lies absolute tyranny, and sadly, many of the screeching Left cannot see this.
    As long as a person doesn't cause harm socially, legally, or physically to anyone, then they are absolutely free to think whatever the fuck they like.


    As for the joke in the movie? He thought it was a woman, the guy didn't reveal he was a pre-op transexual (or whatever the fuck she is in the movie, maybe just a cross-dresser, who knows, best not to look into it deeply because it is a Jim Carrey film), and so Ace felt lied to. Perfectly normal reaction, and remember it is a Jim Carrey comedy film, he overreacts to *everything*.
    Finkle in the movie did not identify as a woman. He took the identity of a dead and missing woman in order to evade police. That's why it's considered transphobic. It paints transpeople as only doing it for nefarious reasons and it helps fuel the whole "they're going to sexually assault people in bathrooms!" despite that never happening. It also helps fuel toxic trans panic defense laws.

    Ok let me rephrase. It's just like if a white guy is making really fucked up and racist comments about black men. It's called "punching down".

    Identity theft and disguise aren't transphobic.
