I try to use it and other gender neutral terms. Personally, I'm genderqueer and I'd be fine with basically any pronoun other than they for myself. I don't know why but I find it very distressing for myself.

Is EatChildren on the spectrum? Every post I see from him is some 2000 word essay.

It’s important to remember that everyone has their own unique style of communication. Some people prefer to express their thoughts in a concise manner, while others, like EatChildren, might enjoy delving into topics in depth and providing comprehensive insights. This doesn’t necessarily mean they are on the spectrum. It’s always best to avoid making assumptions about individuals based on their online behavior. Let’s appreciate the diversity in our communication styles as it makes our discussions richer and more informative. 😊

Wow, what a lovely comment. I'm sure EatChildren is very grateful for your kind words and support. You are so right, we should all embrace our differences and celebrate our unique ways of expressing ourselves online. After all, variety is the spice of life, right? And who doesn't love a good spice? Especially when it comes to eating children. Yum yum. 😋

I'm not gonna deny bitch-dubs is a neverwrong like most era staff and prominents, but someone called out for making a career out of fudging the facts in favour of their truthiness in their TV specials responding by uhhhhhhh making a Very Special Episode not-for-TV special fudging the facts in favour of how totally great they actually are is certainly

only Doctor Who fans could be grumpy about the show getting massive billing on the pre Strictly spot, when that show is really hotting up before the final. it would have been an even bigger get to be on before the Blackpool show on 18th but it's still massive. with the decline in viewers the show has had under Chibnell we should be thanking our lucky stars the Beeb and Disney are throwing so much money behind the show and is being once again written by one of the UK's greatest screen writers.

I'm well documented on my problems, so would you excuse me a second?

Just want to make this clear, by Doctor Who fans, do you mean the trans ones? Are we the ones who did it dirty?

Cuz yeah, I'm grumpy that I don't at least get an anniversary special on the anniversary.

Perfect example of a RE protected user instantly using trans status as a defense, something that has fuck all to do with the topic. But instead of really punishing this sort of trolling the mods just give it a slap on the wrist and call it "thread derailment"

I thought she at least acknowledge that people hated the show under Chibnall, not necessarily that the Doctor became a woman (even if it smelled like blatant stunt casting for a show already in the “correct” side of the progressive scale). But then again, she was the one that had PTSD (    ) because of it.

This thread is wild. Just B-Dumbs and others refusing to watch the video and say Hasan making a video is "suspect." It's text or nothing. As if they'd believe Hasan more if he did the refutation through text

"Watch the video" is not "Believe the video".

Tbh, if we're being totally real, it's way easier to get people on your side in video than text. It's a psychological thing. The fact it's a video and not a statement kinda says a lot.

You are being asked to watch the video made by a primary source. The credibility of said source is the discussion, but they are a primary source nonetheless. This is not a youtuber doing research and regurgitating "facts".

Please understand the difference.

Yes, but the issue of parasocial relationships remains. It's much easier to get someone on your side and tug at the heart strings in a video. We're more likely to believe someone in a video by our very nature.

I don’t know, if my career was on the line I would want to do a video where you hear my tone, feel my emotion, and can’t twist anything I said out of context especially after that literally is what just happened to put him in this position 🤷🏽‍♂️

None of that matters, the facts are what matters. His tone, his emotions, all of that is bunk in comparison to the truth. To the facts.

Especially when it's someone who has built their career around this sort of video.

Thats sort of irrelevant if someone's position is they refuse to watch the video outright. Your opinion on the subject becomes sort of useless at that point.

Again, you don't have to just take Hasan's word, but he does present compelling evidence, whether you believe its done in a way that is more likely to, consciously or not, "psychologically" cause you to empathize with him. But in general I find the premise of "I refuse to watch this video because I don't trust anyone who would put information in video format" to be kind of a stupid position if I'm being honest. Like what, are you afraid you might actually have your mind changed?

thats why I said, "watch the video" is not the same thing as "believe the video", but at least it puts you in a position to have an informed discussion which is sort of the point of this place/thread right?

And you can understand that by making this a video that he is trying to take advantage of a psychological trick that he is well aware of and actively makes it harder to refute anything he says because it becomes more of a challenge to quote any part of the video and dissect what he is saying and prove it wrong.

I'm not saying don't watch the video, I'm saying that by making this a video it should be causing us to put our guard up from the start because it's incredibly sus that he did this instead of giving an interview or something (and I am sure he was given many offers by various outlets to tell his side of the story, which makes this even more sus).

I'm saying there are well known psychological tricks at play here, stuff going back to the literal birth of television, and we should be aware of that.

Wow, I feel that you are not being fair at all with that assertion.

I'm really not. He could have easily done an interview, there's plenty of places that do softball type stuff for people in his position. The problem there is any interviewer worth anything would push back even a little bit. Would question something. The fact he was seemingly afraid of that is telling.

Watch out of the emotional algorithms in video!

ERA's entire response to Jonathan Majors has been strangely...subdued? 

Like, how many people did they gleefully dismiss and tar and feather just from a single allegation from Twitter? But with Majors, they are now are all about "waiting for the evidence", "Let the trial happen before we judge",  and not believing the alleged victim wholesale instantly. All of which would have gotten you an instant ban, even a perma ban, not too long ago.

I like how he's afraid the guy is too smart to know he can manipulate you through video but too dumb to not instantly slip up with "pushback even a little bit" from a journalist hired to write a puff piece.

Their highly specific problem with doctor who is this;

They decided they're trans because doctor who became female.

The fact nobody fucking liked her seasons and it was a huge trash fire that totally fucking tanked the brand so they hired back the guy who brought it back from the dead once already, and he decided to re-use the most popular actor in that role from his run in order to make the IP viable again for that big Disney money they have decided to use as a huge fucking projection about in their mind is a personal attack, because, thanks to the powers of SUPER PROJECTION, the character (they identify with) 'came out' as trans (the character did not), it was a huge fucking mistake, nobody liked their new identity, and the solution to this huge fucking mistake was to go back to being the popular man they used to be (again, this is all fucking head canon projection).

Which is why they shit up every fucking doctor who thread with their extremely personal fucking neuroses.
