i hope he’s changed! and i’m glad people being shitty to trans women using femboys as a cudgel no longer have such a high profile tool to use! but i need people to understand this

    Fair point. I try to be gracious and attribute it to ignorance instead of malice. I don’t know much about him but I’d dare say he’s insulated from the dangers that many of us face due to fame and fortune (relative). As I understand it his chat has also egged him on to do various things, not that it’s an excuse, but I think the fame may have made him a bit more impressionable. But at the end of the day, when you’ve been bimbofied ignorance comes with the territory badeline-heh

    Hopefully some day he’ll be able to recognize it and reconcile it. I’m just glad that he can’t be a useful idiot for nefarious persons now.

      i mean i don’t imagine he was cackling with glee and going “now i shall intentionally present myself as a woman then comedically reveal myself to be truly a man, thereby perpetuating negative stereotypes about transfem people ‘trapping’ men!” but i don’t believe for a second no one pointed out to him that it was fucked up, so i’m not inclined to be too charitable about it

      I’m just glad that he can’t be a useful idiot for nefarious persons now.

      this is definitely true though
