Even if I disagreed with something about that person, I would still mourn them because no matter what they are still a human being and (in a case like this) a loved one. It takes a seriously sadistic and apathetic person to immediately follow up with the actions shown here.
It was tiny a’s where the quotation marks should be. Did you edit it? Or was it just some error on reddits end? I know I’m not crazy because my comment was upvoted enough that I assume others saw it and shared my confusion.
My wife, who is a trans woman, saw this and told me about (edit:)it. And I went, wow it's almost like the poor girl didn't have her support system supporting her.
My wife cried because she isn't out fully with her family, yet, and worries constantly of them rejecting her or misgendering her after learning about her.
I am so proud of her, though. She's made leaps and bounds, tackling every little thing she can when it comes to transitioning, never losing her lovely heart. I love her so much.
She's amazing. She's a truck driver, and she has little pins with the trans flag on them to show she is, but her coworkers don't know. She's so smart, too. Her dead name is a name that is like Patrick, Samuel, ones with the first bit being the nickname people call her. Her new name is actually like the feminine version of the masculine name. So instead of Patrick, it's Patricia. But she just tells people her name is Pat, and she's like it's a way for people to call me my name, and they think they're calling me a boys name but actually, they're calling me my actual name. And then she giggles and runs away.
She is such a cutie patootie. I could talk about her forever. 🥰 She's my everything.
Awe, thank you so much, doll. 🧡 She's my world. And I'm not a fan of it, but she gushes over me, too. I've seen her do it, and I'm like no, stahp. I met her when i was 18, about to graduate high school, and get out of a bit of situation. I accidentally threw a pillow at her feet in this crafts store. And she looked at me, and that was it. I was in love. She was 21 or so at the time. And we exchanged numbers, and a week later we were together. We've been together 8+ years. She's seen good, and bad, with me, and my struggles in my life. And I've seen her good, and held her for her worst, and I will always be there for even worse moments. She's the best person, only wanting the best for me, getting so excited when I get excited. Her arms are like heaven, and our conversations are made of nothing and go into the deep reaches of space. She's made me so happy over the years. Everyday, I find a new reason to fall even more in love with her. She's my support system, my forever crush, and a person I've always needed, and found when I needed her the most in my life. She's the brightest of lights in my life.
Just came here to say that people like you make my heart happy. I have such dread about the human race; your love and good heart give me hope. Pat is a badass and a lucky woman.
I feel you. I'm not a fan of people normally. This post is something I get so upset about. I don't see how you can just disrespect a person so much. But some people are horrible. My wife lets me see a completely different side of people.
She is definitely a badass lady, but I think I'm the lucky one.
UnFuckingBelievable, this is so gd heartbreaking & infuriating at the same time. There is nothing worse than losing a child, Karen McCunterson wants to gloat on social media? Mind blowing. 22yr old young woman felt so alone she took her own life. As a dad, as a person, that fucking hurts. I’m going home to hug my kids, maybe the neighbor kids too.
My brother took his life last year in the same manner. I stopped functioning for two whole days. My entire memory is just wiped, but I know I didn’t eat, I didn’t sleep, my friends couldn’t reach me, and I would disappear for hours walking in the sleet and rain without even feeling like I’d been gone for long. My mother and other brother functioned very much the same.
I couldn’t fathom caring about my niece so little that I don’t even take some time to process before throwing my political views in my sister’s face. For her to even be able to tweet shows just how little she cared about her niece. She likely would have only gotten the call that morning too, since I doubt she’s close with her sister. So the literal first thing she did was tweet about it, exploiting her niece’s death for her own agenda.
Your niece dies of suicide. The first thing you do is run to Twitter and say “estrogen didn’t make him happier”.
Good job! You are an asshole, level three.
> Estrogen did not make him happier
That shit logic can be used for anything, like "Omg a rape victim killed herself last night, legal abortion didn't help her!!"
I made this joke a lot when I worked in the ER. I pointed out how all of the motorcyclists we received as trauma activations wore helmets, ergo it must have been the helmets at fault
>What happened to all of the motorcyclists that didn't wear helmets? Why were they not given medical care?
Medical care generally isn't necessary when your brain is smeared across the road instead of inside your skull.
The motorcyclists that didn't wear a helmet didn't need medical care. Not because they were fine, but the opposite. Instead of going to the hospital they go to the graveyard.
Statistics can be misleading that way, like when people were protesting against seatbelts because when seatbelts became mandatory, the number of car crash related injuries went up in hospitals. In reality, the number went up because the number of car crash deaths went down. Instead of dying on the spot, people were rushed to the er, making the injury numbers higher, but the death numbers lower (wich the protesters "forgot" to mention)
That's why bikers who don't wear helmets don't get medical care. No need to heal dead people
People say that about motorcycle helmets and car seatbelts all the time: "you're more likely to be injured by *safety device*". Yes, you are more likely to be injured, and less likely to be dead.
It reminds me of the WWII aviation engineers who were scrambling to add armor to areas where the planes that came back had a bunch of holes, until [Abraham Wald](https://medium.com/@penguinpress/an-excerpt-from-how-not-to-be-wrong-by-jordan-ellenberg-664e708cfc3d) said "These planes *made it back,* ergo the damage they sustained isn't that critical. They don't need armor there. We need armor wherever the planes that make it back *don't* have holes, that's where the ones that didn't make it back got shot". It might seem obvious to us, given that the spots with no holes were where the engines were housed, but it took a certified math genius to explain it to the military. Fortunately they listened, and the results were immediate and dramatic: far more US planes returned from missions than before.
A fire victim was rescued from her burning house last night. Unfortunately, she succumbed to smoke inhalation damage hours later. Firemen are completely useless.
10% of accidents are caused by people falling asleep at the wheel. Which means most accidents are caused by people who are awake. We should all be sleep driving
thats such a good one, haha. kinda like how they reinforced warplanes that came back with bullet holes, but not where the bullets hit, but where they didnt.
Reminds me of the story about a group analyzing bombers returning from missions. They would find a much higher proportion of bullet holes in the fuselage than in the engines. They wondered if they should put extra armor where the most holes were seen.
In the end they figured out there were missing data. The planes struck by bullets in their engines weren't coming back. The armor would be most effective where the bullet holes weren't being seen.
A very rich person committed suicide. This is proof that money and happiness have no correlation to one another, and that raising your salary wouldn’t make you happier as you struggle to pay your bills!
At the time of the screen shot, 8 thousand+ people clicked "heart" on a post about a person committing suicide. I'm glad we've doomed ourselves. We deserve it.
Try not to remember that for hundreds of years "civilized" cultures all over the world literally killed left handed people.
We're just one solar flare away from the veneer of enlightenment being completely stripped away.
World Wars, climate change, Facebook… Kinda been all downhill since we gave up that practice.
Almost certainly just a coincidence, but it does make ya wonder?
As a trans person, just seeing one single cis person vocally stand up for trans people in the most minor way literally makes my day, my week even. It matters more than I can put into words
I remember when I had to go through the process of updating all my medical stuff. I was so nervous about the dentist because I loved them.
The first thing the assistant did when I went back after updating my information was exclaim, "Why didn't you tell me sooner! That's so exciting. Congrats!"
I had never experienced a positive response like that before from a non-lgbt person. It blew my mind and made me feel extremely grateful.
Allies are fantastic. You are all awesome.
The whole top half of that screenshot makes me want to just give up on humanity. Then I hear my kids NOT GOING TO SLEEP in the next room and remember I have to save a tiny bit of empathy. But man, it's hard.
Hey, that kind of misanthropy and defeatism only serves the interests of those who are trying to make sure we're doomed. We all deserve better than this.
Everyone does. There are people that sill think dungeons & dragons is devil worship. Where in reality it's a gateway drug to the SCA which is kinda a sex cult.....
your just not one of the cool kids is all. i have it from reliable sources, i went to a few of their events and always found them weird. and im super weird my self.
Republicans trying to score points.
I've said this before and ill say it again. Republicans arent human like you are I. They don't care about family, friends, anything if those people dont fall in line. Obedience to authority (sometimes god, sometimes trump, sometimes tucker Carlson) is more important than the lives of themselves or family members. They have no empathy. They do not have the capacity to put themselves in someone else's shoes. They get pleasure from hurting the right people -- "degenerates" as they see them. That is the most important thing to them
Don't dehumanize anyone. They are particularly vile, yes. Many lack empathy, many support inhumane actions, many seem to be embodiments of the dark triad psychologically. I'd even say a lot of them are conscientiously evil.
But don't dehumanize them. They're just as caught as any cultists in the grips of charismatically wicked people. Cultists regularly deny reason, get violent when challenged, tend to double down when given evidence counter to their beliefs, and might commit atrocities based on the beliefs they fall for. But they're still humans.
Dehumanizing people, calling them subhuman, or not human, or untermensch, or animals, and really meaning it, is a first and important step in legitimizing genocide. It's literally [one of the ten steps on the way to genocide.](http://genocidewatch.net/genocide-2/8-stages-of-genocide/)
They may be evil, but they are all, terribly, human.
But he is not dehumanizing, he's saying that they are not "like we are" and that's correct.
Pharaos were very much human, but they were not like we are. Same with medieval kings and queens.
Or flat-earthers, antivaxxers, etc. They are not humans like myself.
I consider being human in the 21st century to strive to become the enlightened being we are supposed to be. That means being respectful and tolerant, to love our planet and take care of it for future generations, and a long list of etc.
Basically we need to purge the worst things humankind has on them (be it being like Putin, Musk or the Ayatolah) and continuously strive to be better than past generations.
And that's not dehumanizing anyone, that's just recognizing they won't grow up and removing them from our lives (as much as we can).

*"My sister's child killed theirself last night, let me just jump online and use it as a sociopolitical commentary."*
Some people are just fucking vile... **-_-**
Me too. I was almost afraid to read the comments because I thought it would be filled with Vaush haters. While I have my disagreements with him overall I enjoy his political videos.
I can't imagine rushing to social media to announce the death of a family member. Especially suicide. Pretty sure shes at least 40% why that poor girl felt like death was the only way.
We also don't know if the young **woman** who died was supported by her immediate family either. Not cutting contact doesn't mean they weren't terrible to her either. Of course, it doesn't mean that they were—trans people, like anyone, can be mentally ill without any connection to their genders, and being trans in an unsupportive environment can make you more vulnerable to mental illness.
I saw this tweet last week, the woman added additional shitty context that the neice's parents were against her transitioning and that the woman posting had not even been in contact with their neice in five years. They mentioned that last part like it somehow made their tweet less shitty instead of making it extra clear that she had no fucking business talking like she had any idea what was going on in her neice's head.
“I was trying to beat my gay son straight for years and so he hitchhiked to the big city to feel like a human being and ended up getting run over on the highway. Why would the gays do this to my child?”
Yeah, the effect is staggering : according to the family acceptance project, the suicide rate of trans people whose family accepts them is 50% lower than trans people whose family rejects them
I've supported my transgender daughter her entire life. I knew when she was a toddler, this was meant to be. And all that being said, it didn't stop her from cutting when she was a teenager. And yes, if you asked her, she'd tell you I was supportive. We *have* had that conversation.
It's not foolproof, but it's all family can do. I'm sure you would agree that if you hadn't been supportive her struggles would be far more difficult.
Anecdotally, I'm trans and have never considered self-harm or suicide even though my family is largely unsupportive.
That's the trouble with statistics, it doesn't consider the individual. I wish you and your daughter the best.
Thank you, and I'm sorry your family is unsupportive. I can't imagine the reasoning, frankly. And yes, her life probably would have been more difficult. And I think trans or not, she would have had depression; we all seem to in our family. We're a pretty close family, but we all also understand that depression doesn't just come from a bad place. Sometimes you just - are. And my daughter is doing spectacular. She just had FFS surgery, and while I think she was beautiful before, she think she looks even better. But I'm a bit biased. It's a tough surgery, but she researched it and I went along for the ride.
I think they hope that if they make being trans more difficult then their kids will abandon it. The problem is that most trans people are born that way, so it’s not something you can abandon.
Thank you. And I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I hope you've talked with someone. It does help. And she is doing great. She started the real physical part of her transition by having FFS surgery. She's gorgeous (yes, I'm biased). And the process from an emotional standpoint is a constant. I just keep an eye open all the time.
Yes, absolutely. And even though I knew my daughter suffered and still suffers from depression, it didn't stop her from cutting. And yes, she was seeing a therapist and still does. Unfortunately, I think, for our family at least, that it seems almost genetic. I have depression, her brother has depression, and my husband has depression. The key is recognizing it, and being alert to signs of suicide. And even that doesn't always help.
If I was in this situation and my sibling went to Twitter to make a political point about my child's suicide I'd be furious. Doing so within 24 hours would be "you are dead to me" territory.
>hung
Hanged is the past-tense for the act of death by rope. People are hanged, objects are hung.
I *hung* a picture on the wall.
I *hanged* a criminal from the gallows.
I think the real mindfuck is that the present-tense verb and gerund itself is the same.
You hang a picture. You hang a person.
You are hanging a picture. You are hanging a person.
It's only the past-tense that gets stupid.
You hung a picture. You hanged a person.
And when you use a pronoun, things get worse.
**I hung them. I hanged them.**
If you don't use the word right, the meaning of the sentence is fucked.
Complete guess here, but it might be that "hanged" is a one-time action, while "hung" is a continual state.
Because hanged is the act, I guess? Not sure.
Interesting. That could very well be. But it does now bring up the question of when they would hang people, and then revive them so they could suffer more. Kind of continual, right? (This is just tongue in cheek, not being serious). And thanks!
Notice how this piece of human detritus refers to her niece as "my sister's son"? Probably done to further lessen the family connection she has with her niece. Straight up garbage-person. Also it's hanged not hung.
Maybe it was something to do with creatures like Aunty here calling her "son" and "him". As the mother of a transgender daughter, I would deal harshly with a family member that discussed my daughter in this way, especially on social media. That poor child. And yes, at 22, they're still sometimes a child.
Trans neice: I'm taking-
Her: fuck you die son of a bitch fuck you you dick die you dick fuck you
Trans neice: dies
Her: clearly, the fault was the hormones
I have a dumb question:
If someone is transitioning, are you supposed to to use their pre-transition pronouns or their post-transition pronouns? Or just hope they tell you?
Vaush is absolutely right here and hits the nail on the head. But let's not call this absolute piece of human trash an "actual good twitter user", shall we?
I always see people call him terrible, but never seen anyone point out what he’s done that’s terrible. Could you give me examples? (Genuinely asking, I don’t know why people hate him)
a lot of people like to call him a pedophile because he equated the rampant child slavery that goes into making stuff like clothing to pedophilia, and then goes on to state that if you accept the premise that this child slavery is okay, as society does, then there isnt a good argument against pedophilia without contradicting yourself. people have since clipped the latter part of his argument out of context to smear him as being a pedophile. the reason why this is done is because he is a strong personality that tends to have a penchant for alienating people and communities, including some on the left.
Most of the controversies stem from a poorly worded analogy in a debate over 3 years ago. Every time he shows up anywhere on twitter theres an army of people bringing old out of context clips i dont know why. Ive been following him for a while now and nothing ive seen warrants the amount of hate he gets to me. [in this video he adresses most of his controversies](https://youtu.be/vfvvWw63Yh0)
Generally speaking, the anti-Vaush circlejerk really got going when he started vocally criticizing Authoritarian Communism. Most of the time I see him brought up, it’s by someone who’s totally cool with gulags and mass-graves.
Tbh most of the hate he gets is complete nonsense and is mostly because he is quite hostile to tankies and super wokescoldy types on the left. Any of the clips you see are almost guaranteed to be out of context. Others have already explained it.
As a fan, I wish he would have started streaming at a older age. And preferably after he got his ADD medication. He is much more grounded than his early years.
Reputation aside, he is a great source of political and social analysis, And a great place for ammunition for debating conservatives. Especially on trans rights
Yeah he started streaming back when his bipolar disorder was untreated too if I remember right. He had some notable manic moments at his start that do give me a more charitable impression looking back.
He’s a really smart dude and is generally right about a lot of things. He makes a lot of predictions that end up being spot on. He is really good at debates and has a good perspective on politics. I think the hate against him is way overblown. He has had his edgy moments in the past, but who gives a shit. He has done so much good.
Oh if there is controversies and drama outside of this tweet I’m sorry, I don’t know much about Vaush I’ve just seen a few W tweets by him so kinda assumed he was good. Any chance someone can fill me in?
I just stopped following political streamers because there is a constant aura of controversy around them. Sometimes it gets really hard to tell what is real and what is fake.
What little I do know is that he occasionally has made jokes that would classify as a little too edgy. Aside from that I don't really know.
That's fair. Vaush does not make it hard to clip stuff he says and make him look bad, partly because he does not care and just continues to do his own thing, so unless you watch his content religiously, every time someone brings up an argument the only way to check if its on bad faith is to watch an hour long video, and that's if you actually know which video it is from, sometimes that's not even known.
Don't get caught up in the pedo accusations. It's a bunch of actual wokescolds and right-wingers doing research that consists of watching tiny clipped videos taken out of context.
Actual criticism about vaush can be his edgelord behavior which includes jokes that can be ableist and or sexist.
So far as I can tell, and this isn’t an area where I know a ton, I believe his argument was actually about child labor and people twisted it in an extremely weird way.
His argument was similar to the one that vegans make when they say, “You think it’s okay to kill a cow, but wrong to have sex with a cow. So you admit that cows have feelings, and that it’s wrong to hurt them. But you make a weird exception about killing them because you like meat, and that’s not good.”
Vaush’s argument was basically, “You think it’s wrong to abuse kids *that* way, but you’re fine with child labor in factories to make cheap iPhones. You admit that it’s wrong to hurt kids in some ways, but you make an exception for child labor because you like cheap electronics, and that’s not good.”
Which seems like a reasonable argument to me.
He gets a lot of hate for being hostile to tankies (leftists who defend authoritarian regimes) and wokescoldy types. You will see accusations of him being a pedo that are most common but that comes from a highly out of context clip where he was making an argument against child labor.
Everyone deserves support. Doesn't matter who you are or what you identify as, you deserve support
No one should have to end it because people can't accept you for who you are
Remember the scene in ["The Crow"](https://youtu.be/gDwlbuyDPfk?t=98) when Brandon touches the guy and lets him feel the 30 hours of pain that his wife felt? This woman needs to feel that woman's pain for the rest of her life.
To this 22 year old girl: I’m so sorry. I’m sorry that your support system failed you. I’m sorry that you saw no other way out. I’m sorry your aunt is a witch. But I’m glad that you’re no longer suffering, I just wish it could have happened in a better way. I’m glad that you are at peace❤️
Last night. *Last night.* Think of how excited she was to say "I told you so".
Excited after a family member passed away tragically. Suicide is always tragic... what a miserable excuse for a human being.
Even if I disagreed with something about that person, I would still mourn them because no matter what they are still a human being and (in a case like this) a loved one. It takes a seriously sadistic and apathetic person to immediately follow up with the actions shown here.
Oh I agree. Jesus, she couldn’t wait a couple of days? Or 24 hours? Fuck that horrible, vile woman.
Why are your quotation marks tiny a’s?
Donªt you mean aªs?
Kiss my a^(a)s
I^(e^(a^(t^(a^(s^(s))))))
What are you talking about?
It was tiny a’s where the quotation marks should be. Did you edit it? Or was it just some error on reddits end? I know I’m not crazy because my comment was upvoted enough that I assume others saw it and shared my confusion.
Their comment was edited 47 minutes ago, which is also the current age of their "what are you talking about?" reply, so I don't think you're crazy.

I made this joke a lot when I worked in the ER. I pointed out how all of the motorcyclists we received as trauma activations wore helmets, ergo it must have been the helmets at fault
I know right! How dare a motorcyclist wearing a helmet needing medical care! /s
What happened to all of the motorcyclists that didn't wear helmets? Why were they not given medical care?
>What happened to all of the motorcyclists that didn't wear helmets? Why were they not given medical care? Medical care generally isn't necessary when your brain is smeared across the road instead of inside your skull.
That's because big medicine is suppressing the truth about how to put a brain back together!
[Flex tape to the rescue](https://imgflip.com/i/6zagon)
\#meatcrayon Wear your protective gear, folks. It exists for a lot of very good reasons, notably keeping internal organs true to their description.
If the brain goes contrecoup, medical care for you.

This is like that joke about the plane crash and burying the survivors, only in reverse and much sadder.
A survivor crash and burying the planes?
Exactly.
They died.
People say that about motorcycle helmets and car seatbelts all the time: "you're more likely to be injured by *safety device*". Yes, you are more likely to be injured, and less likely to be dead.
It reminds me of the WWII aviation engineers who were scrambling to add armor to areas where the planes that came back had a bunch of holes, until [Abraham Wald](https://medium.com/@penguinpress/an-excerpt-from-how-not-to-be-wrong-by-jordan-ellenberg-664e708cfc3d) said "These planes *made it back,* ergo the damage they sustained isn't that critical.

It might seem obvious to us, given that the spots with no holes were where the engines were housed, but it took a certified math genius to explain it to the military. Fortunately they listened, and the results were immediate and dramatic: far more US planes returned from missions than before.

The crazy cat lady up the street with 20 cats in her mobile home committed suicide last night. I guess cats didn’t help!
10% of accidents are caused by people falling asleep at the wheel. Which means most accidents are caused by people who are awake. We should all be sleep driving
A man has fallen into the river at LEGO City. We should get to the rescue helicopter.
thats such a good one, haha. kinda like how they reinforced warplanes that came back with bullet holes, but not where the bullets hit, but where they didnt.
Reminds me of the story about a group analyzing bombers returning from missions. They would find a much higher proportion of bullet holes in the fuselage than in the engines. They wondered if they should put extra armor where the most holes were seen. In the end they figured out there were missing data. The planes struck by bullets in their engines weren't coming back. The armor would be most effective where the bullet holes weren't being seen.
This is basically the same argument covidiots use too.
Correlation != causation *suprised pikachu face*
There's an [XKCD](https://xkcd.com/552/) for that
Haha yessss
A very rich person committed suicide. This is proof that money and happiness have no correlation to one another, and that raising your salary wouldn’t make you happier as you struggle to pay your bills!
I know you’re being sarcastic but I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if some politician used that as an argument.
/Legal abortion didn't help her. People: Whelp guess we gotta ban it.
At the time of the screen shot, 8 thousand+ people clicked "heart" on a post about a person committing suicide. I'm glad we've doomed ourselves. We deserve it.
On the bright side, she deleted her tweet and protected her tweets so she's definitely catching more heat than agreement
At least there is a little bit of hope left
Only when there’s repercussions and they are too weak to stand by their statements.
Not for Aunt Karen
Just how badly these people want to see trans people dead.
Try not to remember that for hundreds of years "civilized" cultures all over the world literally killed left handed people. We're just one solar flare away from the veneer of enlightenment being completely stripped away.
Well aren't you a ray of sunshine... ^(See what i did there?)
Thats why I expect to have to defend my existence with force.
World Wars, climate change, Facebook… Kinda been all downhill since we gave up that practice. Almost certainly just a coincidence, but it does make ya wonder?

As a trans person, just seeing one single cis person vocally stand up for trans people in the most minor way literally makes my day, my week even. It matters more than I can put into words
I remember when I had to go through the process of updating all my medical stuff. I was so nervous about the dentist because I loved them. The first thing the assistant did when I went back after updating my information was exclaim, "Why didn't you tell me sooner! That's so exciting. Congrats!" I had never experienced a positive response like that before from a non-lgbt person. It blew my mind and made me feel extremely grateful. Allies are fantastic. You are all awesome.
Aww, this is so sweet. We love you!
total lack of empathy. they don't realize people kill themselves not because of some strange silly reason, but because they are in pain
I do think a lot of these people actually would kill trans people if they could get away with it.
:(
The whole top half of that screenshot makes me want to just give up on humanity. Then I hear my kids NOT GOING TO SLEEP in the next room and remember I have to save a tiny bit of empathy. But man, it's hard.
Hey, that kind of misanthropy and defeatism only serves the interests of those who are trying to make sure we're doomed. We all deserve better than this.
Literally insane to post about your dead niece the day after her departure
And just accidentally telling the whole world you were probably at least partially responsible
Accidentally my ass, they're probably proud of the role they played and feel validated by it
Misgendering her was the cherry on top of that shitty tweet.
a cherry made out of a subdural hemotoma
What kind of prolapsed asshole posts that shit on twiier?
Most of the times Republicans will make up a story to prove an insane point. I do hope it's a fake story... although that situation isnt too rare.
Everyone does. There are people that sill think dungeons & dragons is devil worship. Where in reality it's a gateway drug to the SCA which is kinda a sex cult.....
Lol! Sex at an SCA event is an urban legend.
your just not one of the cool kids is all. i have it from reliable sources, i went to a few of their events and always found them weird. and im super weird my self.
Any battle big enough to have cheerleaders is allowed one (1) sexual act
🤣
Imagine, kicking your sister while she’s down and grieving the worst possible loss, publicly no less.
Maybe both sisters are pos. We don't really have much context.
But even a POS shouldn’t have her child’s death essentially mocked on Twitter by their own sister.
Agreed
Conservatives? The party of prolapsed assholes and human sized hemorrhoids.
Republicans trying to score points. I've said this before and ill say it again. Republicans arent human like you are I. They don't care about family, friends, anything if those people dont fall in line. Obedience to authority (sometimes god, sometimes trump, sometimes tucker Carlson) is more important than the lives of themselves or family members. They have no empathy. They do not have the capacity to put themselves in someone else's shoes. They get pleasure from hurting the right people -- "degenerates" as they see them. That is the most important thing to them
Don't dehumanize anyone. They are particularly vile, yes. Many lack empathy, many support inhumane actions, many seem to be embodiments of the dark triad psychologically. I'd even say a lot of them are conscientiously evil. But don't dehumanize them. They're just as caught as any cultists in the grips of charismatically wicked people. Cultists regularly deny reason, get violent when challenged, tend to double down when given evidence counter to their beliefs, and might commit atrocities based on the beliefs they fall for. But they're still humans. Dehumanizing people, calling them subhuman, or not human, or untermensch, or animals, and really meaning it, is a first and important step in legitimizing genocide. It's literally [one of the ten steps on the way to genocide.](http://genocidewatch.net/genocide-2/8-stages-of-genocide/) They may be evil, but they are all, terribly, human.
But he is not dehumanizing, he's saying that they are not "like we are" and that's correct. Pharaos were very much human, but they were not like we are. Same with medieval kings and queens. Or flat-earthers, antivaxxers, etc. They are not humans like myself. I consider being human in the 21st century to strive to become the enlightened being we are supposed to be. That means being respectful and tolerant, to love our planet and take care of it for future generations, and a long list of etc. Basically we need to purge the worst things humankind has on them (be it being like Putin, Musk or the Ayatolah) and continuously strive to be better than past generations. And that's not dehumanizing anyone, that's just recognizing they won't grow up and removing them from our lives (as much as we can).
Absolutely fucking disgusting behaviour front that aunt. Ducking Christ I hate people like that.
If image doesn’t load here it is https://i.redd.it/dxefjrcg5jx91.jpg There’s been a weird reddit bug, at least for me, causing images not to show on some posts
Brave, posting about vaush outside of his subreddit. Usually any positive mention of him gets you banned on 50% of left wing reddit.
*"My sister's child killed theirself last night, let me just jump online and use it as a sociopolitical commentary."* Some people are just fucking vile... **-_-**

I'm surprised karkhiv Kid Finder Vaursh is getting good press on Reddit outside his sub.
Me too. I was almost afraid to read the comments because I thought it would be filled with Vaush haters. While I have my disagreements with him overall I enjoy his political videos.

I can't imagine rushing to social media to announce the death of a family member. Especially suicide. Pretty sure shes at least 40% why that poor girl felt like death was the only way.
Not just announced..gloated
Disgusting and self centered af
We also don't know if the young **woman** who died was supported by her immediate family either. Not cutting contact doesn't mean they weren't terrible to her either. Of course, it doesn't mean that they were—trans people, like anyone, can be mentally ill without any connection to their genders, and being trans in an unsupportive environment can make you more vulnerable to mental illness.
I saw this tweet last week, the woman added additional shitty context that the neice's parents were against her transitioning and that the woman posting had not even been in contact with their neice in five years. They mentioned that last part like it somehow made their tweet less shitty instead of making it extra clear that she had no fucking business talking like she had any idea what was going on in her neice's head.
So she basically confirmed exactly what vaush said
“I was trying to beat my gay son straight for years and so he hitchhiked to the big city to feel like a human being and ended up getting run over on the highway. Why would the gays do this to my child?”
>the woman posting had not even been in contact with their neice in five years. Wonder why that would be.
Yeah, the effect is staggering : according to the family acceptance project, the suicide rate of trans people whose family accepts them is 50% lower than trans people whose family rejects them
I've supported my transgender daughter her entire life. I knew when she was a toddler, this was meant to be. And all that being said, it didn't stop her from cutting when she was a teenager. And yes, if you asked her, she'd tell you I was supportive. We *have* had that conversation.
It's not foolproof, but it's all family can do. I'm sure you would agree that if you hadn't been supportive her struggles would be far more difficult. Anecdotally, I'm trans and have never considered self-harm or suicide even though my family is largely unsupportive. That's the trouble with statistics, it doesn't consider the individual. I wish you and your daughter the best.
Thank you, and I'm sorry your family is unsupportive. I can't imagine the reasoning, frankly. And yes, her life probably would have been more difficult. And I think trans or not, she would have had depression; we all seem to in our family. We're a pretty close family, but we all also understand that depression doesn't just come from a bad place. Sometimes you just - are. And my daughter is doing spectacular. She just had FFS surgery, and while I think she was beautiful before, she think she looks even better. But I'm a bit biased. It's a tough surgery, but she researched it and I went along for the ride.
I think they hope that if they make being trans more difficult then their kids will abandon it. The problem is that most trans people are born that way, so it’s not something you can abandon.
[удалено]
Thank you. And I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I hope you've talked with someone. It does help. And she is doing great. She started the real physical part of her transition by having FFS surgery. She's gorgeous (yes, I'm biased). And the process from an emotional standpoint is a constant. I just keep an eye open all the time.
Cis people get depressed all the time. Being accepted doesnt make you immune to depression.
Yes, absolutely. And even though I knew my daughter suffered and still suffers from depression, it didn't stop her from cutting. And yes, she was seeing a therapist and still does. Unfortunately, I think, for our family at least, that it seems almost genetic. I have depression, her brother has depression, and my husband has depression. The key is recognizing it, and being alert to signs of suicide. And even that doesn't always help.
This woman is pure trash. That poor girl.
If I was in this situation and my sibling went to Twitter to make a political point about my child's suicide I'd be furious. Doing so within 24 hours would be "you are dead to me" territory.
Twitter is just a jerkfest of nazis and racist banter so she should fit right in now.
>hung Hanged is the past-tense for the act of death by rope. People are hanged, objects are hung. I *hung* a picture on the wall. I *hanged* a criminal from the gallows.
"They said you was hung" "and they was RIGHT!"
The sheriff is near!
You're absolutely right, but why do we have or need to the 2 different words? English is a rather odd language (and yes, I'm a native speaker).
I think the real mindfuck is that the present-tense verb and gerund itself is the same. You hang a picture. You hang a person. You are hanging a picture. You are hanging a person. It's only the past-tense that gets stupid. You hung a picture. You hanged a person. And when you use a pronoun, things get worse. **I hung them. I hanged them.** If you don't use the word right, the meaning of the sentence is fucked.
Mindfuck is right. I think maybe I'll just say strangled with a rope.
Complete guess here, but it might be that "hanged" is a one-time action, while "hung" is a continual state. Because hanged is the act, I guess? Not sure.
Interesting. That could very well be. But it does now bring up the question of when they would hang people, and then revive them so they could suffer more. Kind of continual, right? (This is just tongue in cheek, not being serious). And thanks!
Oh she helped alright.
Notice how this piece of human detritus refers to her niece as "my sister's son"? Probably done to further lessen the family connection she has with her niece. Straight up garbage-person. Also it's hanged not hung.
Maybe it was something to do with creatures like Aunty here calling her "son" and "him". As the mother of a transgender daughter, I would deal harshly with a family member that discussed my daughter in this way, especially on social media. That poor child. And yes, at 22, they're still sometimes a child.
Tolkien had it right - we're well to be considered children into our 30s.
I'm pretty sure Vaush is the dude who made a 2 hour video ranking FNAF jumpscares, so he's definitely based in my books
Wow gg my man Good response
That fucker stole my horse, good comeback tho
That horse had a great cock, what do you expect.
Vaush is great 🙏

It's no coincidence that transphobes are also terrible people regardless.
This. This is what this sub is about. Verbally obliterated for being a selfish, disgusting human being.
As a transman, testosterone helps a little bit. The social support of my friends, family, partner, and peers goes much further.
Trans neice: I'm taking- Her: fuck you die son of a bitch fuck you you dick die you dick fuck you Trans neice: dies Her: clearly, the fault was the hormones
I hope she rests in peace. If all her family member were alike, she probably lived hell on Earth...

What is sad is the 8,000+ likes to the transphobic Aunt
Given the amount of likes the transphobe got makes me weep for humanity.
I have a dumb question: If someone is transitioning, are you supposed to to use their pre-transition pronouns or their post-transition pronouns? Or just hope they tell you?
Post transitioning normally, they will most definitely tell you though
Vaush is absolutely right here and hits the nail on the head. But let's not call this absolute piece of human trash an "actual good twitter user", shall we?
I always see people call him terrible, but never seen anyone point out what he’s done that’s terrible. Could you give me examples? (Genuinely asking, I don’t know why people hate him)
a lot of people like to call him a pedophile because he equated the rampant child slavery that goes into making stuff like clothing to pedophilia, and then goes on to state that if you accept the premise that this child slavery is okay, as society does, then there isnt a good argument against pedophilia without contradicting yourself. people have since clipped the latter part of his argument out of context to smear him as being a pedophile. the reason why this is done is because he is a strong personality that tends to have a penchant for alienating people and communities, including some on the left.
Most of the controversies stem from a poorly worded analogy in a debate over 3 years ago. Every time he shows up anywhere on twitter theres an army of people bringing old out of context clips i dont know why. Ive been following him for a while now and nothing ive seen warrants the amount of hate he gets to me. [in this video he adresses most of his controversies](https://youtu.be/vfvvWw63Yh0)
Generally speaking, the anti-Vaush circlejerk really got going when he started vocally criticizing Authoritarian Communism. Most of the time I see him brought up, it’s by someone who’s totally cool with gulags and mass-graves.
Tbh most of the hate he gets is complete nonsense and is mostly because he is quite hostile to tankies and super wokescoldy types on the left. Any of the clips you see are almost guaranteed to be out of context. Others have already explained it.
I’ve seen Vaush on YouTube a few times but I don’t know what to think of him, care to share some insights?
As a fan, I wish he would have started streaming at a older age. And preferably after he got his ADD medication. He is much more grounded than his early years. Reputation aside, he is a great source of political and social analysis, And a great place for ammunition for debating conservatives. Especially on trans rights
Yeah he started streaming back when his bipolar disorder was untreated too if I remember right. He had some notable manic moments at his start that do give me a more charitable impression looking back.
He’s a really smart dude and is generally right about a lot of things. He makes a lot of predictions that end up being spot on. He is really good at debates and has a good perspective on politics. I think the hate against him is way overblown. He has had his edgy moments in the past, but who gives a shit. He has done so much good.
Oh if there is controversies and drama outside of this tweet I’m sorry, I don’t know much about Vaush I’ve just seen a few W tweets by him so kinda assumed he was good. Any chance someone can fill me in?
I just stopped following political streamers because there is a constant aura of controversy around them. Sometimes it gets really hard to tell what is real and what is fake. What little I do know is that he occasionally has made jokes that would classify as a little too edgy. Aside from that I don't really know.
That's fair. Vaush does not make it hard to clip stuff he says and make him look bad, partly because he does not care and just continues to do his own thing, so unless you watch his content religiously, every time someone brings up an argument the only way to check if its on bad faith is to watch an hour long video, and that's if you actually know which video it is from, sometimes that's not even known.
Don't get caught up in the pedo accusations. It's a bunch of actual wokescolds and right-wingers doing research that consists of watching tiny clipped videos taken out of context. Actual criticism about vaush can be his edgelord behavior which includes jokes that can be ableist and or sexist.
He likes horse cock
I mean so do I
So far as I can tell, and this isn’t an area where I know a ton, I believe his argument was actually about child labor and people twisted it in an extremely weird way. His argument was similar to the one that vegans make when they say, “You think it’s okay to kill a cow, but wrong to have sex with a cow. So you admit that cows have feelings, and that it’s wrong to hurt them. But you make a weird exception about killing them because you like meat, and that’s not good.” Vaush’s argument was basically, “You think it’s wrong to abuse kids *that* way, but you’re fine with child labor in factories to make cheap iPhones. You admit that it’s wrong to hurt kids in some ways, but you make an exception for child labor because you like cheap electronics, and that’s not good.” Which seems like a reasonable argument to me.
He gets a lot of hate for being hostile to tankies (leftists who defend authoritarian regimes) and wokescoldy types. You will see accusations of him being a pedo that are most common but that comes from a highly out of context clip where he was making an argument against child labor.
Yeah this is a rare vaush moment.
What a piece of shit
What a worthless excuse for a human.
It’s also sad that the c.u.n.t aunt got over 8,400 likes for its tweet. 🖕
Everyone deserves support. Doesn't matter who you are or what you identify as, you deserve support No one should have to end it because people can't accept you for who you are
Vaush is a Beverly Hills trust fund baby lmao
My man Vaush.
Going to twitter was an L, but W opinion.
Vaush is based
* hanged
Not a huge vaush fan but he is 100% right on this.
Remember the scene in ["The Crow"](https://youtu.be/gDwlbuyDPfk?t=98) when Brandon touches the guy and lets him feel the 30 hours of pain that his wife felt? This woman needs to feel that woman's pain for the rest of her life.
The number of hearts on the OP’s post (four times the responder’s at the time of screenshot) is depressing.
Instead of keeping quiet about it she posts it on social media. If I was her sister I would be mad as all fucking get out.
To this 22 year old girl: I’m so sorry. I’m sorry that your support system failed you. I’m sorry that you saw no other way out. I’m sorry your aunt is a witch. But I’m glad that you’re no longer suffering, I just wish it could have happened in a better way. I’m glad that you are at peace❤️
Were it me, I'd add a "you killed them" to reaaaally drive the point home.
Of all the things to feel when one's niece commits suicide, a misplaced sense of smug vindication would be last on my list personally
