  • Some people will stop at nothing to root out some...any....offence that they can possible winnow out of any particular situation. However, rarely have I seen it done so brazenly than by the perennially offended Essence of Thought yesterday.
    This was absolute UA-cam/Twitter gold. The kind of desperate and unwitting brilliance that make these platforms worth paying attention to.
    Rachel Oates makes a 75(!!!) minute defence of accusations Essence of Thought had levelled against her and his response was to trawl through the huge array of comments she had "hearted" in a bid to unearth one he could take offence to! .......and he succeeded so well done Peter, you have done the world of facile unnecessary drama-whoring sterling service once again.

      It's gone beyond ridiculous now. Holy shit. Apologies have been made, positions clarified and rectified where needed, public social media hangings have occurred and still some people feel the need to be offended and go on the attack. At this point I'm inclined to say ignore it. It's like a fight with a troll - at some point you realise the only way to win the game is not to play it because they will find something to get offended at regardless. All the best to you and Stephen.

There was no reason to attack you in the first place. He is acting like a berserk wounded animal trying to blindly strike whatever he can reach around him.

Seriously, I get how it feels to be hated and looked down upon for who you are, but that doesn’t mean every perceived slight is an attack on you or the people with whom you associate yourself.

    That's what happened when we had our little dust-up a few months ago: "Main point...? _BAH!_ I'm going to go off one on tiny thing I thought was a slight, no matter how minor!"
    Even _IF_ I agree with EoT's arguments on this issue--and I don't even know whether I do; I haven't watched a video from that channel in quite some time--having seen clips of this conflict, I have to say that this is _not_ the way to persuade people to your side.

      You know the funny part...? Despite our differences, you know what the final straw was, the thing that made me unsub from EoT? The way he (or is it 'she'; I honestly have no idea because EoT seems to swap between 'Peter' and 'Ethel' quite randomly) tends to speak.
      There is a rhythm and cadence--these bizarre pauses in the middle of sentences that feel like a rollercoaster at the top of a long arc...pausing...pausing...then a sudden rush downward--that just started to really get on my nerves. It happens near the end of every few sentences, and it just plain got under my skin after a while.
      *_I wanna hear you can drive again._*
      Soon. Really soon.
      My doctor wants me to eat the foods that used to trigger my seizures for a few months, and if all goes well--which it has so far--then I can drive. I'm thinking about maybe a scooter or motorcycle, actually; I can't really justify a whole car. Not on my budget, anyway.
      Scooters are way cheap, and they don't all look like retro Vespas; there are some that look...well, let's just say that if they were in a Japanese movie, they _clearly_ can turn into robots. ;)

    EOT used to be reasonably rational and incisive despite being a little over-earnest, a little bit self important, and not being quite as bright as he sought to make out (I use "he" because he always used to describe himself as peter- though this is now peter/ethel I believe. The motivations for an obviously archaic female name are intriguing but beyond my expertise to analyse.). This stuff is really getting embarrassing for him though. He has bough, hook line and sinker, into dogmatic cults of woke-ness and lost track of the rational characteristics he used to champion and (largely) exhibit.

      He’s a married man now...to a woman... but somehow feels “left out” because he’s not trans so he claims to be non binary, as though that’s a thing, and then stretches that to mean it’s part of “the trans community” as though there is only one trans community and we all know what that means and what they’re like (bc trans people who don’t outrage like him are just self loathers). Psychoanalyze that!
      He’s still savvy enough to continue to ride this wave for possible 💰 and popularity.

      @Not My Real Name I think perhaps we were talking past one another, or I simply misunderstood your position, or you mine. My point was that I think EoT was clearly stating with his tweet that the "break knees" commenter was inciting violence towards trans people fighting for human rights rather than violence towards an individual for being a liar, who is incidentally a trans person. If your point was that the "break knees" comment could conceivably incite someone to attack EoT you might have a point, but if you think it might incite people to break the knees of random trans people I don't agree.

      EoT is just as token as any other trans person, therefore your act of using EoT as a defense is bigotry.
      Anyone can gaslight, dehumanise and reduce people to a mere tokens if they don't agree. Do you even know the name of the 'token' or is that all she is to you too, as an evidently biased and polarised individual.
      Here's a thought experiment.
      I'm incredibly insulted and feel my mixed race community is damaged by EoT's inclusion and platforming of a person who constantly uses the outdated and dehumanising term 'negro'. I feel it has no place in today's language and EoTs actions normalise said bigoted language.
      If anyone who is black or mixed race disagrees they're tokens who are too weak as to not internalise their own racism. Oh and you're now a bigot by association. Luckily I don't have an army of zealots to hound and bully you granted, but I'm not a vindictive bully so I wouldn't do that anyway.
      Oh and I made this point on their channel, I was shadow blocked. No apology, no admission of guilt, no accountability. Just silenced as my mixed race voice is evidently unwelcome as I am too low on the rungs off the ladder of humanity. As EoT stated herself, I'm well within my right to assume malice motive, unless of course black and mixed race people are untermench.

    EoT seems to be taking a very uncharitable view in the critiques of other's views. I was recently re-watching some old videos about how this all started, and EoT straight up accuses Steven Woodford (Rationality Rules) of pandering to the right, al a Dave Rubin/Sargon of Akkad style. This is clearly an unfair characterization of what Steven has done and continues to do.

Plus, that's just another video about Rachel/EOT that they both have to worry about the video misconstruing and misunderstanding both their situations.
