You can't rationally debate someone out of a position they didn't reach through rational consideration.

Something fell over in our server, so Kaity is spinning up a new server and rebuilding lemmy on it

You can't opt out of capitalism. You can opt out of not funding Rowling

We bypass the issue. We use DJI mini mics, which allow you to connect multiple mics to a single base receiver, and that receiver appears as a stereo sound source.

If making excuses for virulent transphobes is the best of lemmy in your mind, I'm concerned about what would qualify as the worst...

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 days ago (5 children)

like madlad, woosh, etc

I haven't used Reddit for years, and I have no idea about those terms. If they're a Reddit thing, I don't recognise them.

Lemmy is also less tolerant of debate bros.

So yeah, they're different

As I said, if not voluntarily giving money to or making excuses for someone who will use that money to hurt people is too much to ask of someone, then their context and intent is quite clear.

Including yours.

"I grew up with Harry Potter and loved it and I'm interested to see the new [whatever]" is not equivalent to promoting transphobia.

It is equivalent, because in this case, it is literally promoting transphobia. One of the worlds leading transphobes will directly benefit from the profits this show makes, and will directly turn those profits against dismantling the rights of trans folk.

This isn't an analogy, it's not dramatic license, or over exaggeration.

You cannot make a black and white determination like that without context and intent.

If you know she will hurt trans people with the money she makes, and you do things that continue to make her money (which includes just advocating for continued consumption of her work), it is black and white, and the context and intent are quite visible.

By itself, it doesn't mean someone is transphobic. But it does mean that at the very least, personal nostalgia is more important to that person than the harm their actions cause. And that is plenty of intent and context.

Fuck yeah! No one can ever take this away from you!

I don't know, maybe they have a specific agreement with Patreon or something. But in general, that's how Patreon like services work with YouTube

It's how Youtube does it...
