    That’ll trigger those whose conservatism is a reaction to an aspect of themselves they are repressing

    I've heard of projection but this is way too on the nose. Or maybe it was on the wall. Not sure where they projected the image of him on, but I bet they only needed one hand to hold up the picture in the bathroom!

    I keep hearing this guy's name, but I have no idea who he is, and he has no influence on me, or anyone I know. I don't even know where to go to hear him. Social Media platforms, I guess. I'm not going to bother, I don't care.

    I really wish we could stay focused on important issues, and stop letting MAGA decide the conversation. We need to dominate the media with the real issues, and refuse to engage with Trans and Hassan Piker nonsense, or whatever the conservative boogeyman of the day is.

    Whenever we are talking about stuff other than Health Care, Data Centers, AI, Flock, the AmerIsraeli War®, Epstein Files, Sociopathic Oligarchs, CORRUPTION, etc., we are losing. Whenever they bring up their favorite nonsense, toss it aside, and shift the subject to anything from their LONG list of crimes.

    He has no influence on you but he does for a ton of terminally online stream viewers who might otherwise become chuds

    I'm not telling you to follow him (I sure don't) but the more he's demonized by the right in such a laughable manner, the more young people get exposed to him.

    They might be implying that it's nonsense to be having a conversation about whether trans people deserve equity, since they obviously do.

    It's also nonsense to suggest that it's ok to murder 100s of schoolgirls, or that trump didn't sexually abuse children, or that the private healthcare system is somehow better than universal, or that flock is not an invasion of privacy.

    And yet for some reason only trans people were singled out as unworthy of protection somehow, even though their lives are currently being destroyed in the US.

    Abortion nonsense, trans nonsense - all the topics the fascists bring up to try and gain support from their bigoted supporters. The items are not nonsense, the fact that they are using them in this way is nonsense.

    Abortion is a human right. People who are trans are humans, deserving of full human rights.

    The fact that this is even up for debate is........... nonsense

    Gotta get those conservatives excited. Probably a trigger for the grindr outages.

    I find articles like that to be hilarious but I can't help think maybe grindr themselves have a hand to play. They have existed for how many years now and they can't afford servers that don't crash bc of a relatively small gathering of people? I imagine the Super Bowl brings far more grindr users to where it occurs yet I don't hear about it crashing. Same with actual gay pride festivals. Still funny though.

    Consider that maybe around 10-12% of the population has an attraction to the same sex (roughly lumping together bi, pan, and binary gay attractions is coarse, statistically, but bear with me here). During Pride gatherings, they still have outages. But they're easier to predict and fix because June is easy to plan around. It's a consistent date range with relatively predictable traffic.

    Political conventions often only give maybe a month or two of notice, and are often localized to a single server region. Meaning that rather than that traffic being distributed across a large network, or renting extra servers for a month, it overloads a server that's operating in the 'off-season'.

    Besides, I think that the people who are in charge of Grindr might not be feeling particularly charitable toward gay men who espouse and empower magat trash.

    Edit: Corrected statistic. Thanks

    Consider that maybe around 5-8%

    Even the most conservative estimates consistently place it around 10-12% (and this is supported by decades of sociological research from around the world). And that’s the people who openly admit it. The actual number is likely far higher (speculation is 15-25%, but it’s only speculation), especially when you consider “incidental attraction“, which accounts for those who are only “sometimes attracted“ to the same sex. Aka Bi/demisexuals.

    The real mistake is trying to reduce sexuality to a number or a statistic. That said, your estimation is way below the mark.

    I suppose the real Takeaway here is that none of us really know what goes on behind the scenes…

    They’re gay. I just wish they’d come to terms with that, rather than projecting their internalized self-hatred on others.

    Yesterday I made a comment about the ideological perversions of churches. I'm certain this story is related. There's no dating or mating occurring, but here the GOP has mostly undressed Hasan Piker. Per search, the GOP is significantly more religious than Democrats.
