The vast majority of people in wheelchairs and cripples find the combat wheelchair to be incredibly offensive for many reasons. Also it is rare someone wheelchair bound identifies their wheelchair as part of their identity. So they dont care about banning the Combat Wheelchair BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT TO BE IN A WHEELCHAIR IN THE FIRST PLACE. Also you declaring absolutes about ppl being bad gm's and bad people for not liking this offensive bullcrap, is cringe. Virtue signal somewhere else. No disabled person likes you waving your flags of virtue.

I appreciate this because it's so exhausting trying to explain to abled people that shockingly, I - disabled - would like to be able to play a game without being told I'm a 'burden' or 'holding them back' or 'ruining their fantasy'.

This video is so... single-minded about "it's a power fantasy, everything goes". No, not everything goes. Being in a chair has limitations that the GM will have to account for. Travelling through the forest? Nope! Way too much uneven ground for wheels. Up a mountain? Good luck with the slopes and the rocks stopping you. Desert, snow, the sea? More of the same. Actually forget about travelling almost anywhere with uneven ground for your story. And can't forget about stairs, can we? Well it's fantasy you might say, make it a flying chair, just hovering over the ground. That is convenient, isn't it? Problem solved. Well but then why wouldn't everyone have one of those if its convenient. At the very least the wealthy people should do. However, if it's a luxury item now, that is more convenient than walking, how is it a disability anymore? I guess no magical wheelchair then, we want to allow people with disabilities to be represented after all. Like it or not, that limits the settings and scenarios the adventure takes place in. And that affects the rest of the players and, arguably more importantly the GM who is the person putting the bulk of the effort when it comes to preparing the game. And just like some people don't want to see themes like spiders, pirates, any level of sexual content, political intrigue, or detailed descriptions of wounds, for example, why is something so impactful to the game as limiting the terain to adventure because one single companion with a disability where people draw the line? One can obviously ignore everything about this. Who cares you have to get up a ladder, your group will find a way to go up there even if it takes some extra time so you can ignore this detail. Same with stairs, swimming, or dungeon crawling. After all it's a power fantasy, we don't count arrows, or rations, we don't account for filthy clothes, nor the state of our shoes after hours and hours of walking. After all we are slaying dragons, finding treasure, taking down organizations and saving people. But, then... hopefully you don't try to take advantage of being in a wheelchair, that would titter the line of being a disability pretender, wouldn't it? At the end of a day disabilities are part of the real world, so are spiders, so are political issues, sexuality, serious injuries etc., It doesn't mean any of this needs to be active part of your fantasy story. I don't think this is an easy matter to settle in a broad way, and its more a table by table talk. Not being on board for any of the previous issues doesn't make you a bad person, the same way being on board doesn't make you a good one. Intent matters, and trying to apply some nuance to things will help you to realize that "my way, therefore good" or "against me, therefore bad" aren't the only two points of view out there.

While i agree with some of what you said, this idea that you're not allowed to play grim dark setting with dnd ruleset is fucking stupid and you lost me at that point. DND should strive to include everyone but they are themes that will not. Grim dark is one of those themes, if you wanna play a disabled character in a grim dark setting then there needs to actually be a tangible, real drawback to the disability of your character. Something should act as some sort of limiter to their capabilities that is inline with whatever disability you picked.

What is interesting about this discourse (I have seen it online many times) is how revealing it is to thoughts people have about disabilities and inclusion they might otherwise never say out loud. "If you play a character who has a disability, you are holding the party back. It is selfish! You're slowing everything down! A dungeon doesn't have accessible architecture, so you can't go in!" Exactly those same sentences have been said to wheelchair users and other disabled people in real life. People are constantly told, explicitly and implicitly, that their mere existence is a nuisance and "in a perfect world" they should not exist. Imagine that for a second. When I play a game, I actually like playing characters with similar body and mind problems that I have. My characters are disabled and have chronic illnesses because my "power fantasy" is not being in perfect health, my power fantasy is being able to cast fireball.

Amen!

Perfectly worded, thank you

I finally deleted my Twitter account earlier this year after I mostly avoided using it the year prior. While I’m sad that I lost my large amount of Followers, It’s honestly freeing to not have to put up with that site’s nonsense anymore

...And the rebrand is shit.

Finally something good that happened thanks to Mr Musk

Elon was using twitter to create social unrest and spread racism in England as a test run for after trump loses the American election so they can boost the stolen election lies

you love to see it. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Truly hope so Tristan. Intolerable situation.🌿

Stay mad

I hope she sees this bro.

The intentional neglect of gender affirming healthcare by the UK government can literally be measured in terms of additional deaths on the waiting lists. The Cass review is being wielded in an attempt to overlook their lives. Even Cass says mental healthcare is woefully inadequate, and yet, Tavistock was still closed and there are no replacements. More people will die off the back of this decision, and that's a sacrifice Cass is willing to make.

Care to retract your statements? Given the info thats come to light

Bye bye

Awesome job for exposing Eurovision. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Maby, if the Eurovision is 'Gay Christmas' it's not surprising that Europes gay community prefers the country that gives Gay palees refuge, rather then the People who behead them in the streets and throw them off rooftops.

Well done. Subbed.

You claim that the juries show unfair political bias and that the people votes is the true measure of the performance, but Israel got considerably higher votes from the view vs. the juries. You also claim that Israel should not be allowed because it's treatment of gays is not good enough, yet claim that Palestine, where being openly gay means a death sentence should be admitted. Palestinian gays flee to Israel to seek and find asylum from persecution.

There is one problem with your argumentation. Russia invaded Ukraine and is the agressor. Hamas/Palestinians attacked Israel and is the agressor. And yes, Eurovision is a political (statement) organization for the Left.

Great video, thank you! Gay rights cannot justify a genoc¡de

I don’t care if Muslims hate me. I don’t believe they should face genocide because of that. Not do I think their unacceptable of LGBT rights should’ve an alibi for genocide.

A false comparison. Russia invaded Ukraine in order to conquer it. Without provocation. Israel was invaded by Hamas and its citizens kidnapped. Israel has responded by going into Gaza to eliminate Hamas and recover its hostages.

you live in a dream world

now talk about all the gay Palestinians that smuggle themselves into Israel to avoid persecution and prison sentences and totture in Palestine.

Lgbt people are ONLY safe in Israel compared to the rest of the middle east. Your talking about all these other countries in comparison but in the middle east itself the rest of the middle east kills lgbt. How can you bypass that fact?

"Gay Christmas" supporting a people who hate gays. It's like Sheep for Wolves movement....lol

The only position I can really be on board with is if countries that are not really Europe proper that includes Israel, Australia and countries that only make it due to Eurasia definition should all be removed from Eurovision. I question solidarity with Palastine and that it is merely a vehicle to legitimise islamism within western normative values. Palastine is not a country that enjoys any functional human rights amongst themselves, it is a Sharia state which is grossly oppressive against many rights that are considered entrenched rights. My personal view on LGBTQ is what it has been for Gays and Lesbians since the 60's, as a dual nationality citizen Gay/Lesbian rights were more accepted in the UK vs in Israel however tolerance of a persons sexual orientation is openly received, what however is not supported is acts of debauchery, cavorting down the streets of Tel Aviv with very little on in openly sexual activities is to far. I also find it odd that nobody tries to fight for LGBTQ rights in countries that have zero tolerance for them ie: Palastine. As for "the war" that has somehow turned the bloodbath of gross human rights violations that is the Ukraine/Russia war into an after thought. Going on US military officials numbers that war is passing 1m casualties of war, including over 300 000 civilians on both sides along with tens of millions displaced along with metal and bone scrap yards. Do I believe Israel had the right to take action following October 7, yes, going on the precedent set following 9-11, America went on a 22 year run claiming 4.5 million casualties in various middle eastern states, they succeeded in destroying Al Qaeda, ISIS and they gave Afghanis civil liberties never experienced up until the "withdrawal". Israel was attacked by a country run by a government who's charter expressly calls for the elimination of all Jews, it is a Islamic supremacy document setting out totalitarian intents. Is it Genocide or Ethnic Cleansing, my opinion is no. Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group. Destruction is the action or process of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exists or cannot be repaired. Going on the UN's latest population stats as of March 2024 the population in Gaza went up by 30-35K around 3% growth year over and Palatines total population grew by over 200 000 at around 3.5% that is neither effective genocide ie: Actually depleting the population nor intention, if Israel wanted to kill every Gazan they could but don't. It is not a situation we want, my eldest child is currently serving and that weighs heavy on us as parents, as does it upon Palestinian families, perhaps there is a better way to resolve this problem, I am hoping there are smarter and braver men to make that decision, what will be required is a mind shift in Palestinian thinking, we have found books and cartoons depicting murder of Jews used as propaganda material to indoctrinate the youth and create a generation of martyr zealots, if that doesn't change Palestine will suffer a generational crisis when their Youth die leaving an aged population. have war crimes been committed, very possible. I think Israel has pushed the limit on certain acts that have been a bit cringy notably the World Food Kitchen incident that was questionable for me, similarly I hold Palestine in contempt of war crimes. As a former veteran I have seen the use of child soldiers and that has been confirmed in this conflict, that is a no no by Geneva conventions of war, another no no is belligerents are required to identify themselves as combatants, hiding in the civilian population and then conducting military action in the attempt to ambush and make it impossible to identify civilian from combatant is a war crime as is choosing to fight in a civilian population. As a search and rescue pilot I have been shot at which is another no no in the book of rules of war. In summary there are no rules in actual combat, it is about personal honour and whether you can return from a war zone with your pride and dignity.

The fact eurovision has become political doesn't mean it should be. And if it shouldn't be, booing a 20yo girl for representating a country which was allowed to compete is shallow and pitiful. Find actual ways to change the world, cause this is not the way.

The Cass report has revealed the appalling truth of the transgender lie. Thank heaven! #LGBWithoutTheT

the corruption really is everywhere imaginable 😕

... pause ....

So are they refugees or citizens of a state? Which? Asking for a friend

Poor bloke, he needs a care home asap

Really well sad and totally agree with your opinion

Liar

The "I'm trying to read the teleprompter" squint.

I see alien in the skin. Democraps do stretch the truth into threats.

Oh you mean the laws for me but not for you version😂😂😂 yeah that makes more sense

If there's no laws, you wouldn't be able to control yourself.

Lie after lie

💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

The rule of law and the constitution do not give you the right to weaponize the FBI, NSA, and CIA to monitor the social media websites banning people posting their opinion.

What,or who tells you,us a lie every time his mouth is open... That's the truth and we all know it is... What he is not telling...

Too many people

She did say anything "unfortunate" on twitter.. she said something and her overly offended audience reacted poorly.

Good lord this is a toxic comment section. I do applaud Tristan for engaging with criticism in good faith though.
