    Don't be murdering people, and don't be deceiving them, either.

    False. Killing is bad. Deceiving is bad. Both can be true without any claim of equivalence.

    Yes, it can be.
    But not in your case.
    I'm almost willing to buy that you're verbally clumsy instead of awful.
    But that benefit of the doubt is earned with a better pattern of behavior which you sorely lack,
    So....you see the bind I'm in. :shrug:

    Reading about the case the judge was not allowing the trans panic defense, but that does not matter because there is nothing to contradict self defense. My point is if you are going to play these games with the straights, shoot first as the trans person. Clearly you could use the trans panic idea to say you feared for your life when he found out because he was a huge football player and went into a rage. If he is dead then he cannot say it was not true, and the jury is all going to think like UA and he flipped out because anyone would do that according to the straights.

    Self defense always goes to the person who strikes the killing blow. If you are going to catfish a straight for the fun of fucking with them in the dark, then you had better finish the damned job.

    Deceiving is bad, but should not be the death penalty. Turn on the fucking lights so you can see the signs of an STD or other sickness.

    Like I was saying to Amaris trans people who are fucking around like this need to learn to shoot first.

    Nope. They were mentioned in the same context, I responded to them in the same context. Nothing about that necessitates any degree of equivalence. Do not project your limitations on me.

    The only limitations present are the ones to which you are constrained. I've given you far too much of my time because you are a lost cause. You will die a bitter, angry, loathing man who does nothing but hate that which has surpassed him, which is a hell of a lot at this point in your life. Your inadequacies don't get to define me, you selfish child. Carry on being impotent.

    Do trans women do this in any numbers worth debating, though?

    I have a hard time believing that every trans woman killed by a cis man was trying to catfish for funsies.

    Details? Evidence? Nope. Just more fantasies from someone who lives exclusively by them.

    So NOW the witchcraft communist decides to get discerning with her time and attention.

    :rofl:

    The fuck outta here with that.

    Maybe, but I'll take that over wheezing your last gasp for that participation trophy that adult life will never award you.

    No, YOU define THEM in your silly little fantasy world, and get pissy when people decline to live in it.

    You are so fucking needy. You have nothing by which to rebut, so you grasp at straws to keep my attention. I'm not going to keep rewarding you for that behavior, and don't go begging to other people.

    So, an experiment was done once where people signed up to join a fake club that was deliberately set up to be boring.
    For one set of people, the initiation to get in to the club was harsh.
    For the second set, the initiation was ridiculously easy.
    The people who had the hard initiation convinced themselves that the club wasn't boring.

    This experiment, and many others like it, proved the existence of cognitive dissonance.

    Why is this important?

    Well, cognitive dissonance debunks Behaviorism.

    Why is this important?

    Behaviorism believes that humans are always rational actors, and that they do everything for reward, like a mouse running through a maze for a piece of cheese.

    Dr. Phil is a behaviorist.
    His catchphrase lines "what's in it for you?" and "how's that working for you?" give this away.
    He stubbornly believes that all the behaviors of his victims guests are due to a reward mechanism like the cheese to the mouse.
    Nevermind that this worldview was smashed to bits in the goddamned 1950's.

    In short, Dr. Phil is a fucking quack.
    He would have had to plug his ears and hum through parts of his psych classes he just plain didn't like.
    Which ironically, would make him an exemplar of dissonance avoidance.

    Now, either you're a fanboy of Dr. Phil, or a fanboy of someone who is, or a fanboy of someone who's a fanboy of someone who is.
    Dr. Phil is getting in that information chain somewhere.

    Because all your talk of participation trophies, and victim trophies, and victim Olympics, and blah, blah, blah, is straight up Doctor Phil shit.

    Dr. Phil is a caveman meathead who appeals to other caveman meatheads.

    It's no wonder he would appeal to you.
    Of fucking COURSE you'd be a Behaviorist, you openly think people should strive to be like robots, so of course you'd think human nature was as simple as a rat maze.

    Y'know what else came around in the 50's?
    Ayn fucking Rand.
    You swear up and down that you haven't read the bitch,
    But she thinks people are robots too.
    And that money is the cheese that makes them go.

    She was an idiot in the 50's, she's still an idiot, and so are her fanboys.
    And the fanboys of her fanboys are REALLY fucking pathetic.

    Long way of getting to, stop watching Dr. Phil and Youtube, 50's grandpa.

    You don't respond to me. You either fabricate a bunch of shit outright, or make some ridiculously tenuous, six degrees of Kevin Bacon connection to what I DID say. Your suppositions say more about you than anyone else. Just an excuse to unload some grievance you ALREADY had in the chamber.

    Textbook dissonance avoidance.
    Couldn't handle your dumb beliefs being debunked, so your cognitive brain shut down, and in flood the emotions.
    Yawn.

    I do not know for sure. I would say it is far more likely that if you found a case where that happened the supposed victim is lying because they knew. Even in this case, he knew there was a dick there that wasn't his. Something else happened and he was about to be exposed for liking chicks with dicks.

    What is more likely? Some person is trapping straight men for fun, or some closeted straight was about to get exposed and decided it was better to be a murderer than to admit they were interested in dick? Gay panic does not occur because you see a gay person, or trans person, it occurs because you are afraid of being exposed as one. That is when you start killing the witnesses.

    Minnesota comedy club cancels Chappelle show last minute (CNN reporting)

    1. What the fuck kind of venue management sells out a show, then cancels last minute? Completely unprofessional and horrible to consumers. It's not like the Chapelle controversy was a surprise.

    2. The controversy is only going to help Chapelle, who will go on to sell out shows elsewhere, and use the MN thing in his act.

    The workers for First Avenue went on strike, refusing to work for Chapelle's act, and they did it well before the show was scheduled to start. The management pushed anyway, and then when the workers won that stare down, management had Chapelle booked at Varsity, and they (management) went and saw the performance themselves. Dave's just fine. Yeah, he'll use this as ammo, but then when hasn't bigots used people rejecting their bigotry as people silencing them? The people who like Chapelle will approve, and like him more. It's the same reason Trump became more popular, was because people liked that he hurt others, they liked that he was sticking it to those politically correct moralists. Chapelle's crowd, in general, has the same mindset.

    Dave is certainly suffering for his change up in comedy from cracking jokes to warring with twittards on stage. Netflix may have used him for advertising, but he was surprisingly absent from their Netflix is a joke specials despite performing and being almost stabbed for it.

    Saying he was cancelled is another lie. He was moved to an appropriate venue. Some places might not want to host your shit when you are a rabid hater. Welcome to the world of prejudice Dave. I figured dave might understand prejudice given his past comedy, but I guess not. Some venues might not want to host bigots as they tend to stink up the place. I do not want to go to a hotel where the RNC has violated with their oily nasty slime. I do not need landscaping so bad I would go to the four seasons ever. What if that shit Rudy oozes kills your yard? I am pretty sure whatever is coming out of republicans is biohazard material you do not want to get on you.

    This is why I prefer to go to black and hispanic owned places around here because old white republican ooze is just nasty. As for Dave, this is what you get for jumping on the white guy beta bus.
