    His small-minded ridicule and his ego in thinking that he needed to share it with the world.

      What is small minded about speaking out against bigots? How is it egotistical to post to the world on a platform made to post to the world? You want to attribute those negative labels to John for some reason. Twitter was made for doing exactly what he did so that action isn’t what makes him egotistical in your mind. None of what you are saying makes sense… Unless we add the puzzle piece that you don’t want people advocating for treating trans people decently.

        If you can’t see a difference between the constructive, informational, thoughtful and educational content he provides in his videos and “please trade lives with me so that I can have your tiny, ridiculous problems”, then you’re his target audience that his tweet was intended for.

        He could have said anything that added to a constructive point in a discussion. Instead, he just shit on some nameless group of people that he disagrees with.

          Bigots deserve to be shit on. That they think it is a challenge and a burden to just be decent to trans people is worthy of ridicule. You haven’t made a case for it being small minded. You haven’t made a case for it being egotistical. Don’t do that it’s just a disagreement framing. That’s a predictable tactic that is bs.

            I see, as long as it’s a group you approve of being shit on, it’s ok. You are definitely his target audience.

              If the group is bigots, yes. Again what you are saying and your offense suddenly makes remarkable sense if we assume that you share their bigoted views or are sympathetic to their views.

              It’s not “oh just because you disagree” or “oh if it’s a group you don’t approve of” or any other derivation. Don’t strip out the context of what is being disagreed with. You got upset because someone was mildly not nice to bigots. That is what stirred you. That tells a lot about you

                You are still terrible at psychoanalytical keyboarding. You’ve not gotten any better in the last three comments.

                I want more for you. You can do this.

                  Hard to be terrible at it when I’m right though. You got mad that someone was mildly not nice to bigots. You said that using twitter for exactly what twitter was made for was some how out of line. You call mocking and standing up to bigots small minded. You can’t refute those points so to try to deflect with cheap rhetorical tricks or the baseless statement that I’m bad at analyzing your behavior. I get that when you’ve been told that people expect more or better from you that that felt pretty devastating but attempting to turn that around when you are feeling defensive doesn’t work.
