Why the fuck should I care what a guy who plays video games says about anything other than playing video games?
I have a feeling this dude has no formal education on human sexuality, biology, or transgender studies.
Loud people with big audiences should be called out when they're saying dangerous things. Marginalised people didn't get rights by being quiet.
Be loud be proud. Call it out.
His audience will grow up to be the ones who have that kind of thinking as they turn from teens, twenties and into their thirties.
He reaches a lot of ears. https://twitchtracker.com/asmongold/statistics shows a huge audience but it's people calling him out that have slowly turned his viewer base from growing to receding. As more people learn how worthless his opinion is, more people turn him off for good.
So yeah, you should care to spread the message that when someone loud is speaking misinformation, your own voice gives those who listen to him an opportunity to make a choice to lose trust in someone they were watching for their hot takes.
It works. The statistics show that. Even if it's only because the algorithm stops promoting them too once the line stops going up.
You could have stopped at "no formal education" .... he probably can only type like archeologists understand hieroglyphics (buttons for gaming mysteriously also provide communication)
