Caitlyn Jenner: The Reveal & The Reactions

Postby Ny Nynorsk » Mon Jun 01, 2015 9:58 pm

Drake Bell, from the beloved tv show, Drake and Josh turns out to be transphobic cis scum!!!

So, we all know that Caitlyn Jenner, a beautiful woman and former athlete, has been a woman for some time now. Drake Bell, a rabid, bitter transphobe tweeted "I'm still calling you Bruce." My response to that is how fucking dare he!

Caitlyn is a beautiful woman, one who was never truly a man, a woman who is free. Free from herself, free from societal bigotry, and free of a penis, apparently. How dare Drake suggest that someone who wanted to be a woman should still be called Bruce???!!!

I, as an unrepentant fighter for equality, am putting my foot down. Clearly, we must boycott Drake and Josh, boycott any perfume ads starring Drake, and perhaps send him to court for his vicious hate speech. The media seems to largely agree with me.

So I guess we still aren't calling him a 'truther'?

You'd think Bell would be off his thing with attacking celebrities on Twitter after his whole flame war with Bieber some years back. In fact, is Drake even still relevent?

You can boycott whoever the fuck you want, but presuming that this guy is in America, he's protected from court by the First Amendment, which gaurantees the right to Freedom of Expression. And the cost of changing that would far outweigh any benefit their might be.

And while I personally feel that people have the right to use whatever name they please, I also feel that the idea that their are certain names that are for men and certain names that are for women is sexist and arbitrary.

We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

The man's got an opinion. If you're so against eliminating oppression, why are you denouncing someone just because they've got their own ideas on the matter? I don't want to start a debate here. I just want to know why so many people who claim to stand up for people's rights deliberately attack those whose opinions differ from their own.

His comments seemed to be coming from a place of profound ignorance, rather than malice. I'll remember he's uninformed and outspoken about trans people, but this wasn't so bad that I'm gonna waste my time thinking about the guy.
Now, if we wanna talk about people who really deserve ire for what they're saying, look to Neil Cavuto, The Blaze, and the Fox Five. Libertarians, my ass.

If you would read more than the tag line, you would see that Bell is apparently referring to this in light of Jenner's accomplishments as an Olympic-level athlete. Easy with the torches and pitchforks there.
