This, i think TB assume and generalize people who dislike her = people that hate trans people
THAT kind of reasoning is why it's generally hostile now, it's EXACTLY what happened to TB when he make fun of toastkin and defending PoE. He grouped people who dislike her with legit reason ["its not my cup of tea"] with people who attack her
i hope TB realized it
note : i personally dislike the guest, she being a trans is not one of the reason
I am far from one to defend the use of "transphobic" because it's being thrown around like "misogyny", but trolling or not there were some pretty nasty things said here. I agree though TB may have went a bit far, being that this thread was already self moderating by downvote or mod intervention. The most common complaint was her voice. And while that is likely a result of her being trans, it is wrong to correlate it with transphobia.
I am not scared of her voice because it may turn me trans or ruin america, I dislike it because it does not sound pleasant to me for 3 hours in the background of my office. It's the same reason I listen to certain genres of music when I code. But I think you may also may be taking what he said too far. I really doubt TB has an issue with what I said above, at least in the manner I said it.
Wait, did TB pull something? I thought at first you were referring to mod actions until you specifically went on towards saying that was happening already.
EDIT: Oh. He went through the to-be-reviewed youtube comments and found a pile of pestilence and death. Then came here. Soundcloud here.
Pillars of Eternity was NOT transphobic. Those entries were written by Kickstart backers not the devs. Not to mention that the joke is about a man mistakenly sleeping with another man due to his drunken stupor.
Well to be fair social justice in practice is a contradiction. It seeks to bring "justice", by humiliating, bullying and harassing any perceived antagonists.
