I made a couple of jokey, sarcastic posts in the thread, but I see that didn't go over well. I'll go back to being completely serious. The part about me being into pale girls was not a joke. This is my favourite actor https://www.google.ca/search?q=saoirse+r...Tva6o0tR8M The beautiful Irish actor Saoirse Ronan. Her latest movie Ammonite was fantastic.
The thread seems to have devolved into people making sarcastic posts about the 9 year old deserving to be maced because she's overweight, and people purposely misinterpreting my posts and Onlinebikers posts to make it seem like we support her being maced, when we both entirely disagreed with the polices actions. That's why I stopped being serious in the thread. Because people are arguing in bad faith against an argument no one made.

Not everything needs to be spelled out. It does for the warriors though. They are never satisfied. She has had a bunch of performances showcasing trans people dancing with her. She has a whole video dedicated to showcasing trans people, people in wheelchairs, fat women, black women, etc, but no matter what you do, it's never enough for the warriors. They will take the first thing they can interpret in any way as a slip up and turn on you. I don't think it will bother her though. She'll just laugh it off. Miley has a great attitude. She has probably been body shamed more than any celeb ever, especially after her Blurred Lines performance at that awards show where people were comparing her ass to a chicken. She responded like a boss though and did not play victim. What was her response? She posted something like "more tweets about me than about the Super Bowl". She took the criticism as success. She thought, 'at least people are talking about me'.(February 5, 2021 at 12:17 am)SUNGULA Wrote: Her status of pansexual and binary doesn't immunize her and I have to see the tweets for myself because I don't trust your warped views. Though I'm doubtful that's the reason.
(Edit turns out I was right to be suspicious that WAS'NT the reason people were objecting to Cyrus. Do you ever sick of lying and distorting positions?)
Looking at it, I think most of us can agree that Miley's argument could have been worded a Hell of a lot better. Given that she herself identifies as pansexual and non-binary, you'd think she'd acknowledge that gender is more bimodal than her comments imply. But, frankly, this is one of those incidents where the discourse surrounding it is worse. I was able to find two articles about the controversy over it: one from Out and the other from the Daily Wire. The article from Out, frankly, is more eye-rolling than anything else at the very worst, but the comments section is overrun with TERFs sticking up for Miley, and I'm fairly certain these are not people she wants on her side. And while I didn't look into the Daily Wire's comments section, I can't assume they'd be much better.
And trying to cancel a pansexual non-binary person for a poorly-phrased claim seems deeply counterproductive. I doubt that this thing is going to lead to a Graham Linehan situation with her, but I believe that, even if most attempts to cancel a celebrity are just little more than circle jerks with little to no real-world effect, it's liable (especially in cases like this) to do a lot more harm than good, even if it just means your demonstrating you have a watered-down version of the mindset of Dexter Morgan. Not exactly killing serial killers, just looking for an outlet for your toxic impulses on an apparently worthy target.
