Ive seen that list posted a few times. I completely agree any countries citizens should watch out for the signs of walking slowly into fascism or worse. The US can definitely be seen to be heading that way but Im still not a fan of that list specifically.

A lot of the items on it are massively open to interpretation and it massively simplifies a complex issue. I find it posted more as a gotcha than any actual desire to engage in a meaningful conversation. On the flip side due to the amount of trolls on here I can see why things like that are popular but when someone does genuinely engage I feel like the list is more of a distraction than a means to further a discussion.

I completely respect and am on-board with Cyrics desire to fight transphobia but i feel his style of debate can put off some people who would hold the same overarching views of wanting a better, more inclusive society.

He can sometimes come across as seeing the world in black and white and takes the if you arent with me 100% you are against me position too much which is weird as that sort of rhetoric is something you find more on the right.

I guess what Im saying is hes a good guy with a good heart and good intentions. I just feel he undermines his own position by being too dogmatic sometimes. Or at the very least pushes away people who would otherwise be on his side.

But hey this is CE and there are a lot of bad faith trolls on here so I dont blame him if he just cant be arsed.

Cyric has good intentions, but considering the things he's said and been unapologetic for, and the things he's said to me, personally, I just honestly can't see him as a good guy or having a good heart.

But yeah, the list is way too simple. Because a lot of those steps reflect things that are actually happening, but on a lesser scale, to others. But it's not comparable to actual acts of genocide, like what the Jewish people faced, in the slightest.

That being said, to act like transgender individuals don't have to wake up with a fucked up society every day would just be lying. Things need to change, but I don't think that change is going to happen by...boycotting Hogwarts Legacy.
