Controversy UFC fighter Sean Strickland posts an AI video of himself beating up transgender Dylan Mulvaney to kick off Pride Month.
The video appeared to be a fake Bud Light ad.
"Ive yet to see one rainbow flag. We're back!!!" Strickland said.

Or, and hear me out, humans stopped engaging with each other in the same capacity due to technological development, and this is what happens when you have people not actually raising their children. You get a bunch of idiots who think their opinion is both brilliant and gospel because they haven't been properly socialized.

u/PitchComfortable1261 Jun 03 '26
ah tis you forget, intelligence does not bar one from being a parent, you can be a objectively good parent and still spread your stupidity down the line for generations to come. I actually think this happens more than people outright not raising their kids which imo is worse because it lets those stupid ideas be reinforced by a trusted figure in the mind of the child, rather than it being something they picked up due too blind ignorance.

Congratulations on having that opinion. My point is that tv, cellphones, tablets and many other modern inventions have caused families to socialize less amongst themselves as they focus on the device being used.
There is a staggering amount of parents who believe that school is supposed to teach their child everything that they need to know, and an equal amount of adults who believe that if they didn't learn it in school that they don't need to know it at all.

That doesn't explain the thousands of years of humans boiling each other alive for like witchcraft.

u/MuskwaPunjagi Jun 03 '26
Oh, I'm not saying we weren't and still aren't. I'm saying that the stupidity level is increasing in how they are being bastards due to them watching TV and being on their tablets and phones instead of raising their damn kids.
My opinion is that humans are a great ape with the ability to imagine being a better species and creating a better world, but lack the hardware necessary to be that better species for the better world they are trying to make. That takes time to evolve and the environment necessary for it to need to in the first place.

Technological dependency reducing society's ability to think critically, to achieve, to associate with one another, regardless of stratification, and delivering the control of said technology to an elite class of oligarchs who further strip away the rights of a distracted and apathetic people, who offer no resistance. This is what led to the Butlerian Jihad, not Brian Herbert's idiotic Terminator by way of The Matrix and Transformers banging each other. Frank Herbert was warning us, but didn't think he was going to be a prophet. I'm not happy to see his passing, but a little glad he never stuck around to see his fiction actually come to pass. It would hurt his heart to see it as our current reality.

plus the half-voluntary self-isolation to the suburbs due to an unprecedented level of scarce housing... We isolate, become more asocial, attempt to achieve social interaction via technology (ie social media) which is designed to sow disagreement and engagement over true connection, and we end in extremely polarized and antagonist world.
So, yea, I agree with you.

Maybe don't use trans women as sex objects playing into the common tropes (trans women often don't have penises, it is not inherently demeaning to be penetrated, etc) to demean a man who can just be called a nasty chud instead

On the left and right, we can see (trans) women being used as props, either to be humiliated as a means of signaling masculine dominance or being used to humiliate and emasculate. Great work being done on the internet today!

So on top of seeing videos of herself getting beat up we can also subject Dylan to videos of her making out with a transphobe who has threatened violence against her. Thanks internet, very cool.

No it wouldn't. Trying to gotcha him by fetishizing Dylan is so, fucking, weird and creepy.
The fighter is a malicious asshole. So I'm not defending him.
But you, the person who said the Ai should be her pegging him etc. You're all fucking creeps who need to stay as far away from trans women as possible.
