I never pretended anything dude. On the contrary, I see the good he does but I've also seen some videos that make me question his beliefs, so chill.

Edit: I'd also add some tweets he's tweeted in the past that I disagreed with as well.
what good has he done?

gf has described herself as "between a B and a C"
before her was someone with Ds
before that... probably like F

that's all since the pandemic.

the last person I slept with pre-pandemic was actually the most well-endowed person I've been with by a pretty significant margin. no clue what size she was though

Which video was this?
I don't remember all the details because it was like 4 years ago (around this time of year too -- January I believe), but it was framed as something like "This University of Toronto Professor Says Bill C-16 Is Dangerous." it was a live video of him with... I think he was on a stage with a microphone, though I might be remembering incorrectly. and he was saying things like "they're forcing us to use their language" in reference to pronoun use (which wasn't even mentioned in the bill in the first place)

I remember him being big even before the whole C-16 thing.
I mean, he was a professor at one of... maybe the biggest university in canada.

the video of him lying to a crowd of people kinda went viral though, and that's what skyrocketed him as far as I know

No.

You're upset that a lot of people wont use the words you approve of. They already had words to describe male and female humans. But to avoid confusion with the words man and woman, they threw in qualifiers like biological, natural, and real. And now its sex-woman in this thread. Clearly that still pisses some people off, so were back to whatever youve decided is correct. Except not everyone wants to bend the knee. Threatening people does work sometimes, so go ahead and lean into that if you like.
probably not a good idea to act like you know whether or not someone is upset online; never mind why they're upset

How is that transphobic?
because instances of trans women performing at this high a level get way more coverage than their actual frequency would merit. they're over-reported. and then people with poor critical thinking skills, or people who just want another excuse to hate trans women (such as most of the people in this topic) get a skewed idea of how often this kind of thing actually happens.

articles like this, and topics about them, really skew the way trans people are perceived!

I think there should be some sort of soft ban on topics like this: once one topic about a highly skilled trans woman athlete is posted, posting another results in a usermap axe until 50 or so have been posted about trans women performing at average or below-average levels

Your problem is apparently not understanding what youre talking about. A spoiler does not mean everything about it was spoiled, it means a surprise was spoiled.
implicit in the terminology is the idea that knowing one small detail about the plot -- or in this case, even knowing that an actor shows up in it -- somehow spoils the experience of watching it.

If the character is meant to be a surprise, yes it can be. I'm not sure why this seems so odd to you? We aren't talking about a main character here. It's a surprise guest star.
that significant a loss generally indicates that it wasn't worth watching in the first place. what seems odd to me is that so many people who apparently enjoy these shows and films will apparently have the experience "spoiled" just by knowing this one detail.

I guess Korra, though I'd still say that complaints about the lesbian twist at the end did have a bit of merit as it did feel like it was shoehorned in more than naturally developed. Felt very much like a last minute ending idea versus something that they were building to. If I'm being honest, even Korra and Bolin had more build-up as a potential relationship than Korra and Asami, and note that I'm not advocating for the former nor do I think that would've been a good thing to end on.

That being said, being upset about it was pretty nonsensical. Plenty of shows have had two main characters hooking up in a straight relationship because they survived a traumatic experience without anyone batting an eye, after all. Two attractive mains decide to randomly hook up? Sounds pretty obvious when put just like that, after all.
it's also left ambiguous. all they do at the end is go into the spirit world together

Fair. It goes the other way around, too. Just because "it breaks the lore" and "character didn't do what I wanted them to do" are the best arguments against a movie, doesn't mean it's a good movie.
of course. I don't think TLJ was "good" by any stretch of the imagination. I do think, though, that it was about as good as it could have reasonably been given what Rian Johnson had to work with.

If it was such a terrible movie, nearly all of the criticisms against it wouldn't be totally invalid, if not irrelevant or completely debunked, before you sink to the depths of complaining about diversity.
I don't think that's a valid metric for whether or not a given movie is "good" or "bad"

I certainly think it was better than the films on either side of it, though that's a low bar

Anyways I kind of wonder if people downplay the importance of representation because they don't like to admit to the fact that fictional media does greatly influence actual society. For example, the fact that a baby name jumps in use when a fictional character names their fictional baby it on a popular tv show (see 'Emma' and Friends), the fact that dalmatian adoption (and sadly abandonment) jumped dramatically when 101 dalmatians was popular, recruitment into the military at Top Gun, karate enrollment (and belt mills) during Karate Kids popularity, etc. Etc. Etc.
I would say that those are examples of fictional media influencing individuals, not society

regardless, it's much more useful to think of a lack of diversity (within an organization, within a movie, within anything really) as a symptom of deeper issues rather than a problem in and of itself
