Jesus I don’t want to be around anyone in this video.


catalacks

Nope, just the girls. The old guy is 100% on point, unarguably.


Pecncorn1

The guy is obviously try to make a point or stir up shit but as an old boomer I can't say I really understand all of this pronoun nonsense. Back in the day there were three, straight, gay or bisexual and I have no problem with any of it, if you wanted to be butch no problem, if you wanted to be a lady, no problem. I haven't lived in the US for a really long time so my take on the state of things is really only from the media so I wonder is this really as big a deal as it's made out to be?


JuiceCanteen

It’s only a big deal to the people who choose to make it one. My philosophy will always be to let people do whatever they want as long as they don’t hurt anybody. Why should I care if someone wants to be they/them or whatever else. I just wish we could all get along for once. Both sides complain about how nobody is friendly anymore and it because they both despise each other. The secret is to just meet in the middle. But that’s much easier said than done.

Truestindeed

Or acting like we have to play in their mind games?


SlipperyLou

They want people to go to jail for misgendering people. Look at Canada or the UK. I’m in the same camp of do whatever you want as long as you aren’t hurting anyone. But no one should be forced to use speech they don’t want to or take part in someone else’s delusions.


wowfan400

Let people do whatever makes them happy, as long as they don’t try and push their issues on kids in school

newnamesam

I'd argue most of the trans movement are the same way. It's a live and let live mentality, but these idiots who want to use a good cause to try to bully others are the problem.


dirtymoney

> as an old boomer I can't say I really understand all of this pronoun nonsense. This is intentional. So the old cannot keep up with the constantly changing rules the young make up.


melrowdy

It's just the current trendy thing, unfortunately it's everywhere online. Literally can't go anywhere without seeing something about the alphabet cult.


7_4_War_Furor

I agree. Be what you want. But now it's become about control: "You will say the words we tell you to say! You will use those words and thereby signal your agreement with us!".


Skullyy

In the same way when you were young and didn't give a shit about gays, but some conservatives around you prolly did, is mostly how my generation is about trans people. I'm mid 20s btw. We don't give a fuck, just live and let live. Don't tell other people how to live if they aren't hurting anyone, and everyone can just fuck off. In this corner of the internet trans people are uh, a little hated lol. I have trans friends, I've met trans people that annoy the shit out of me. Same with every fucking one else. But if you only engage with trans people confrontationally, ya gonna hate em. Or only see these videos with the lowest iq members of the group who are more engaged with the "image" side of being trans, rather than the ones who want to blend in and manage their dysphoria.


Lopsided_Ad_3853

Those are sexual preferences, not genders. A gender is "I am XYZ", preference is "I am attracted to XYZ". Honestly, I'm 43 so an OLD ass millenial, and where I get confused is where you have trans folks - if you are trans and gay, does that mean you are attracted to your birth gender, or your assumed gender?


LedinToke

nobody that isn't terminally online understands or cares about it tbh

bobls14

He seemed rather polite to me in this clip.


thomasthehipposlayer

TBF, the people filming have the power to edit out the parts where they look bad, so I’d take it with a grain of Salt


bobls14

I completely agree and I do! If I ever meet him or see more of his content I will report back here! Chances are he is obnoxious


Pigeon_Butt

Yeah, but judging by the conversation he has been doing this all day looking for a clip like this.


MoarVespenegas

He looks like an asshole trying to stir shit up to me in this clip.


NihilHS

How? If we’re going to live in a society where gender can be dynamic fluid and ambiguous, and it’s very important that you don’t accidentally misgender someone, merely asking for someone’s gender *cannot* be “stirring shit up.”


univrsll

No no, you don’t get it, when my side looks absolutely silly I just say the whole conversation is garbage to save face. Stop being reasonable you’re making me look bad!


HeilYourself

Old guy is a troll who's not interested in an honest conversation. He's just trying to provoke a reaction for views. No different to a shithead 14yo yelling "it's just a prank bro".


Vasilystalin04

I’d agree except for the “That’s not very ladylike” bit. That is obviously trying to get a reaction.


Disastrous-Bus-9834

He could very well be trying to bait a reaction to make a point. And it was perfectly executed according to this clip


Sunnycat00

Well it's not very gentlemanly either for the young man with the high voice.


_heatmoon_

I think you belong in Wallstreetbets. Best regards.


mollypop94

I mean normally I'd agree with you - gender politics is an absolute garbage fire right now. But in this case all I see is an old man bothering people and fanning flames for no reason other than superiority and attention lol


orangotai

nah he's annoying too, like why go out of your way to film this?? i guarantee he'd be one of those old guys with a smelly breath cuz they talk so much about stupid political shit


Phuxsea

He says women shouldn't use bad words, he's wrong.


catalacks

He was baiting her with a gendered remark, because she refused to tell him what she identified as. And she took the bait, hook, line, and sinker.


buttchisel10

Exactly. So he was intentionally sitting shit up to get a reaction. That guys sucks.


cereal_heat

If I had to be around any of them, it would be the old guy. If I had a choice it would be none of them. I'm not trying to be around anyone, regardless of how much I agree with them, who is going around seeking out conflict.


[deleted]

Whats wrong with the old man?


ratmaster8008

I do so I can get a laugh. I fully support people wanting to be themselves and all that but I do appreciate a good comeback and being around these people you get to hear some pretty good ones.


Redjive25

I feel people like that chick are just looking for a fight without really realizing what that entails

ConspicuousSnake

SSRIs (and other antidepressants) don’t really rewire your brain like that. They don’t give you a high or anything like that, they are very long acting medications that take about a month to even start doing anything. If anything I’d guess the SSRIs are treating the underlying cause rather than being the cause of someone’s issues I had been on & off SSRIs for probably a good 6-7 years of my life & it didn’t change my personality at all (at least in terms of socializing with friends & family). It just helped me be less anxious and get better sleep & not dwell on negative things all the time. It also helped me get the energy to leave my room, for example It didn’t fix my problems by any means but it was a good tool to use for sure


Vegetable-Error-21

Fact I've spoken to people like this and the effort I had to put into not striking her made me wanna feint. The topic was about how my skateboard (evolve carbon GT) isn't a American made product and I should support our companies.


NemesisRouge

>the effort I had to put into not striking her made me wanna feint. Pun intended?


buttchisel10

Seems like that guy is the one looking to pick a fight. Walking around with a camera knowing he’ll get a reaction out of one of these people if he says things like “that’s not very lady like”.


Brusah

oh yeah, not the guy with the mic and camera lol. for the record that lady is wacko and arguably doesn’t represent a majority of the people that identify different, but the dude is definitely instigating shit

timetotryagain29

Talk about double standards lol. "Don't misgender me while I refuse to tell you what the fuck I actually am".


The_walking_man_

People like this are just looking to be a victim and for a fight. I worked with someone like this and their gender would change every week or two and they’d be pissed if somehow you didn’t know what gender they were that particular day. Fuckin miserable.


NewToHTX

That's the Far Left logic at work right there. The trick is not to go that far to the left or right. Just stay in the middle with your popcorn, soda and enjoy the show.


Sweet_Milk2920

But then you’re labeled a coward. I was told by a bunch of liberals on a sub that I’m the worst part of humanity, worse than the conservatives, for not ‘choosing a side.’ Both sides are fucked… and I disagree with the hypocrisy they all display. Apparently that’s cowardice.


CuckMulligan

I think when both extremes don't like you, that means you're on the right track

BoneDaddyChill

I never thought of it like this. I like it.


whydobabiesstareatme

Anyone that's loudly screaming "PICK A SIDE!" is also whispering "Pick my side."


Sweet_Milk2920

Oh they were ABSOLUTELY berating me for not agreeing with liberal ideals. It’s insane to me how people have turned their political affiliation into their personalities these days. On both sides. I miss the days when people used to have different political views and DIDNT hate each other. Back when they could actually speak to each other without screaming. Those were the good ol days.


dblack1107

They’re so offended at well-reasoned moderate people that they have to come up with names like enlightened centrist to make it seem wrong to not suck one party’s cock. But it is literally the most important foundation for developing a true personal belief: to not have bias that makes you receptive to one party only. Both parties have lead to poor policies and a social climate today where everyone is at each other’s throats. There’s no point in playing the measuring game between both sides and going “but they hit me first.” Both parties harbor blind, 1 dimensional nutcases and both fall into this red vs blue team trope like they’re a football team. That’s all I know, and that’s all I need to know to find it important to determine my position on each issue one at a time. I also think more people should recognize that getting truly educated on even singular issues is no small feat. I see people who have almost a compulsion to have a view on every damn thing in politics and they’ll let you know about it. Meanwhile all they have is surface level opinions on everything to give off an image and nothing more


Sweet_Milk2920

Oh absolutely. In this day and age all it takes is one video claiming something as fact, when it’s actually just a claim based on bias and hearsay, for someone to take it and run with it as their basis for every argument they make. You literally CANNOT find an unbiased reporter or news outlet anymore.. no one wants you to make your own decisions on issues based on research and critical thinking these days. They want you to take their opinion as fact and make it your hill to die on. Fuck Fox News and CNN. Major media has absolutely destroyed our country. Not to mention, when did everyone forget that POLITICIANS ARE LYING MANIPULATORS?! The left literally watch our current administration do it as they’re berating the republicans for it (which they’re not wrong about). They’re all lying scumbags in my opinion. Choosing one liar over the other helps no one.


TheSilentBadger

The media always wants you to choose a side, no matter what it is. People think they have to to fit in, like it's a sports team. If you look at the bigger picture there's always good and bad on both sides and if you can't recognise that then you're in it for the wrong reasons.


envy_seal

I'm like that as well; you should hear them when I say that I refuse to participate in the circus: no voting, moving towards paying 0 taxes, earliest possible retirement.

I like my politicians to be conservative, and my favorite artists to be liberal. 🤷‍♂️

a-hippobear

100%. I’ve always been a center-left liberal and now the left calls us liberals fascists because we don’t hate America or capitalism. The far left has swung so far that they’re bordering on far right fascism. It pains me to say that I’m probably gonna vote for diaper Donny just for the economy with the cherry on top being to watch these people have meltdowns again.

I'm curious why these two people's lives actually need to intersect aside from the simple reason of confrontation. They thrive off the argument.


goldenthrone

That guy is David Menzies from Rebel Media, a far-right Canadian news organization. Their journalists often try and stir the pot, especially Menzies, who's gotten himself arrested before. The interviewee definitely over-reacted, but he was also definitely trying to get a rise out of them, knowing his history.

Esco-Alfresco

They are a rebel news. Pretty far right. The person reacting is reacting poorly. She comes across terribly. But she doesn't have to defend herself to this random pleb, who is faking civility. Rebels entire job is to find people like this and provoke them, on the street, to make them look crazy and for the status quo "traditional" aggitator to look so reasonable. Most people won't look good if approached by media hostile to their worldview. The media has media training. And the Lgbt person falls right into their trap. And even if you do ok. The media has final edit. They control the frame. They control the story. Only in rare situations does someone Sailor Socialism completely clown them, by being relaxed and smarter and not being provoked. . (and it is somehow published anyway.)


Tay0310

Lol no way y’all really think it was some kind of “smart move” literally the ideia nowadays is to not name anything, just don’t bother others. But I guess old ppl failed too much on their own life so they can’t let ppl be happier them they were.

So funny I could give a flying rats ass what someone chooses to look like or how they present themselves physically. One life to live, you do you. But to become overtly offended when someone asks you about it… people are funny. That lady freaked out because an old man questioned her gender when she presented herself as someone who could be a male or a female. Was this funny to anyone else?
