The fact that master chief the master chief responded holds a lot of weight to her being punished for her words is such a win and you will always have someone defending those who did wrong and call them the "victim".
To the members of the LGBTQ+ community I hope find this message. I say this as a Heterosexual Catholic Man; God does not hate you, he made you as you are whether you're attracted to the same gender or identify as one you weren't assigned at birth. He loves you all and all are welcome to his paradise. It pains me to see others twist his words to fit their hateful views and it breaks my heart to hear of the torment they inflict upon others they deem lesser. Please know that these people speak only for themselves and not for God. You are all deserving of love and are loved. I may not be a part of your community but I only see you all as you are, fellow humans and my siblings. I hope this message helps and I hope only the best. ❤
Tysm for this. I have extremely homophobic parents and people like you help me realize that not all Christians are bad. Even though I don't want to be Christian anymore due to the trauma, I do have your respect.
That's a beautiful comment you posted, Thank you so very much, As A Catholic and a Woman I treat everyone with kindness, compassion, love and respect no matter what you are or who you are, God loves all and everyone on this earth, remembering that you are loved and you matter. 😊 😊 Never let the evil get inside your hearts as well as your heads, live the life the way you wanted and always be happy. 😊 😊 ❤❤
Hi. I am an atheist, so I don't really think your message is for me, but I thank you nonetheless. It always makes me happy to see religious people stand up for their queer siblings. Please take care and much love.
@@MrDancyPantsTVAnd also make a community that agrees with your hatred. Any "cancelation" is more often than not the people celebrities and youtubers curated throughout the years, so if your audience "cancels" you, it's literally just on you for having skeletons in your closet.
@@jatinmarcob2128 Yeah, it's generally kinda tricky to get an entire audience to turn without the celebrity doing something completely out of character. That being said, losing a corporate sponsorship is ridiculously easy and that really is something that many people forget; which is stranger since that's often where a good chunk of money can come from.
I grew up in the church and used to be Baptist but now I simply consider myself spiritual. Christianity is honestly a religion most only follow behind because it’s expected of them especially depending on upbringing. I found a new path after being told that me being molested was apart of god’s plan because I knew that couldn’t be so. The Bible doesn’t speak on sexuality nor emphasize gender until 1946. It mainly spoke on pedophilia. For man to lay with child not with man. You learn a lot once you step away from harmful practices but the bible is only a device that’s used for everyday life but it’s up to you to decipher it’s true meaning. These are also some of the same people opposed to witchcraft but you blow out candles on a cake, knock on wood, and eat the body of Christ which are all forms of rituals.
TW: Religious Speak I was raised Catholic and attended a Catholic school from ages 5-15. As someone who has actually learned doctrine and core Christian beliefs, it is sad to see that people think, "respecting all people" doesn't include certain groups. It would seem we have ventured far from what I believe the teachings should have been. Respect is deserved by anyone just trying to be respectful and live their lives. My thoughts on cancel culture are... complicated and controversial as a trans person. A core belief in Christianity actually is to love your neighbor as yourself. Never does it say "love the neighbors you deem as sinless as yourself." In fact, no matter what you think (I don't think being transgender is sinful cause well... Jesus never taught hatred, especially given trans people were prominent during his life), but EVEN IF you think that being trans is sinful, didn't Jesus love sinners? Last I checked, 99.99% of the people he spent time with were sinners. So... there really isn't an excuse. There's no excuse in the religious doctrine or in the "normal" public eye. Now, on a different note, people like this do make trans lives harder to live. As a trans woman, I should know what a large majority of trans people have to go through daily. It ranges from looks in the store to attacks both physical and mental. The part that bothers me isn't that trans people aren't allowed in (it's her event, she can allow whoever she wants). My problem is her reasoning. If it were something like, "ok, we only want cis women here because we're celebrating cis women," there would be no issue with that. However, trying to cite the Bible to justify hatred to a community is... wrong. I do hope that anyone who is Christian does think on what I've said here. Automatic hatred for ANYONE just because of something they cannot control is unjustified and wrong. Hopefully, I don't have to remind anyone of periods in history where people were massacred because of traits they cannot control (nationality, gender, race, etc). As always, please make sure to have a wonderful day and take care of yourselves :)
I very much appreciate your comment. We see the dark path our fellow Christians are going down. It's like... they've become confused or are misinterpreting the teachings. Or maybe these UA-camrs/Streamers are just fake AF and are selling outrage. It's kinda their business model-- they need this stuff to react to and stir up an audience.
Growing up as a Christian and now living in the south, it baffles me how many Christians don't understand that cornering and singling out people due to their personal lifestyle or choices is against the entire image or goal of the religion, why preach something and then say "well, not for you!", it's entirely hypocritical and impractical. This is the first video I have seen from you, excited to see more! :) small edit: i don't practice the religion anymore ^^
You're talking about the same people who committed mass murder in the name of God 😅. Modern religion is much better than that of the past, buuuuuuut they are still extremely discriminatory (obviously not all, but most)
Even if you ignore the rest of the bible, one of the main teachings is the last supper where Jesus ate with criminals and prostitutes and the "lowest of society" and said he was no better than any of them, even as the son of God, because he too has sinned. Everyone is a sinner, we are born sinners, and you cant hate one sin more than the other or one sinner more than the other, we are all equal. I didnt like Christianity because all i knew was "god hates lgbt+" and basically supported these people's bigotry but once i actually sat down and learned more of the religion, i may disagree with some passages but most of the teachings i can get behind. Jesus was a pretty cool and chill dude, i respect him a lot and i respect that god changed a lot from the first testament's teachings. Which also begs the question, if God changed his ways from the first testament, why cant he change from the new testament? Edit: wanted to be clear and make a quick edit coming back to this comment and rereading it. I dont believe god hates the lgbt community, i meant i learned he did through "christians" saying he did. "The new testament, the one we follow, says god is a bigot so we must be one too 🥰" um.. no? It was written in the first century. You're telling me he had 19-20 centuries to change his mind on a couple things but he still "homophobic and transphobic etc" nah bro. I think he either changed his mind and grew with the times, or wasn't a bigot in the first place bc that doesn't really make sense. Stealing is a choice. Drinking or getting high is a choice, that's why they're sins. You can choose between good and evil. But as we know, we can't control who we are attracted to. God made each of us, im sure he doesn't hate lgbt people if he's literally making us? Thats like being allergic to peanuts or at least despise them to the point you constantly get sick around them but you work in a peanut butter factory. Idk man, doesn't add up. He's fair and just, he doesn't hate people for who they are. It's how you choose to behave when you know what's right and wrong.
@@Thebatcavepetfriendlybakery hmm? i don't remember god hating lgbtq? i'm not religious (anymore), but i thought it was mostly polyphobia (against polyamory) and mention of man should not sleep with boy, (misinterpreted repeatedly through different languages??). and it makes sense, agreeing with everything in the bible it utterly ridiculous, you'd have to be a puppet rather than human.
@@kitenlovar699 no he doesnt, i meant thats what i learned through fake christians picking and choosing what they wanted to hear from the bible and using it as ammo to support their hatred and bigotry. I shouldve made that more clear. If god hated lgbtq, jesus being part of god, he wouldnt have sat with them and shown them kindness. Plus, god is a loving and fair god. He doesnt hate. Im christian now, i didnt used to be because i didnt want to be associated with the bigots that like to weaponize religion.
As a Christian, I not only find people like the first girl degrading - but she really just made the group out to be bad. Even the people that support her. As a Christian, my whole life, I was shown to be welcoming, accepting, and open to anything new in the world. Everyone is a person and should be treated the way you would want to be treated.
What you just described isn't Christianity. Parts of it sure but far from the full story. "Christians" are always funny like that. They pick and choose the parts they like and brush the rest under the carpet with a smile on their face. Most other religions are all or nothing, which imo is at least some what commendable. Christians though, far too fickle.
I don't know what kind of cult some of these people were raised in but grown men don't belong in the bathroom with little girls. End of story. @@Tyekiller115
I just want to say that while I’m not a part of the LBGTQ, I am a Christian and you are all welcome in god’s arms. It pains me to see people twist his words to get their own beliefs across. Christians are taught to love all and forgive. You are ALL welcome in heaven alongside us. ❤
“I love and value all people” “I will not be allowing trans people to participate” I can totally see you love and value all people! My brain had issues trying to understand the thought process there holy hell.
What's so sad ab this whole situation is that she'd been someone a part of a friend's community who I mod for, as well as someone who my girlfriend, a trans femme, had actually played with quite a few times and had been friends with. Seeing this whole thing happen in real time, and the disappointment from both my girlfriend and the friend I mod for was just heartbreaking to see, knowing how many fun stories they'd both had to tell from their time playing with this streamer. I sincerely hope she's able to learn and grow after this whole thing has happened to her..
When it comes to the expression that Christianity/religion is "under attack", one common thing about the individual making the claim is more-often-than-not THEY are the one who first brings their faith into the light, and often during or after a statement or action against someone else or another group. Their faith is both their sword and shield. In their eyes, it's the justification and protection for Why they feel/act/say in this way. It's the religious equivalent of wanting to have their cake and eat it too. Plus, last I checked - and maybe it's due to my own "echo chamber", but when's the last time we've seen/heard the headline when Christianity was being directly targeted without having thrown the first punch? I consider myself extremely news away and I can't recount a single time I've seen a student at a private catholic school, or member of a Christian church, denied service or access to something based on their faith alone.
I forget where I heard it first, but the truth of it is, you cannot be "cancelled" by haters, only by your own community. So if you do or say something vile enough that your community drops you, that is CONSEQUENCES, not cancellation.
Or we will all snap back to reality and realize it’s not someone else’s job to buy into other peoples bullsht 🤷🏻♂ everyone will live their own life instead of constantly seeking acceptance or worrying about what others think.
@@wntdspartan1345 if you're insinuating that trans people aren't in reality then you're sorley mistake, trans people are recognized as valid by every scientific body on earth, you my friend are the one denying reality. You're brainwashed and it's sad.
@@wntdspartan1345 Believe it or not, reality is here and it's happening right now. People are living and, for some odd reason, other people don't like that. Does it make sense to revolve your own life around other people's choices in THEIRS? No. No it doesn't. You don't need to buy anyone's bullshit, because you can just WALK PAST THE FUCKING STORE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
@@2nafeeesh aye, you can walk passed the store. What u can’t walk passed is the entitled customer at a checkout line who gets upset and cries when they identify as a cat and you call them ma’am 😂
@wntdspartan1345 Alright, you're one of the ones that think trans people are the same as the people that make FUN of trans people, or identify as something more extreme, like a cat. Let me tell you this: No, that is a completely different topic. We're talking about people that were assigned female or male at birth, but deal with gender dysphoria, thus change to the opposite gender. YOU are talking about the extreme cases, that have a 1% chance of happening, which get broadcasted and used to ridicule the trans people that actually just want to live their lives in peace. Also, if you feel the need to hound on an entitled customer that is upset, you are seriously too absorbed with other people's lives than your own.
When someone gets met with rude people, they don’t wanna hear what you have to say. I love how smart you are about cancel culture how it should be about educating not cancelling.
The people you showed defending her don't surprise me in the least considering the amount of shit they talk and then immediately hide behind their faith when they called out for it.
"There's no hate like Christian love". It's such a shame that phrase has become more and more prevalent. If only people could pratice what they preach.
@@kltil5082Woo, the classic "Trans women are predators" rhetoric. Not like that was debunked pretty much right after it was first expressed in the modern day.
@@vaskovallidis552ik this is a very late response, but honestly I feel like the ppl who call trans women predators, are more so projecting what they would do to women in a women’s bathroom. Every right wing accusation is a confession.
Unfortunately you are correct in your assessment, that is why I personally practice "death of the author" so I don't endorse products and services that work in conjunction with individuals or companies that don't support my community. It's a personal choice for me, and when asked about it I explain the reason why I practice it. The biggest point is not to endorse it with my dollar and to speak openly about my opposition of their views. Very nicely done as always Aaron.
Growing up as a Christian, I have no idea what book she got, but the one I read was about loving everyone, and to teach about morals. It seems the one the bigots have read we’re not even the same! I’m so proud of how far this movement has gotten, and I hope one day all lives will be the same, in peace and harmony! To all the trans folks, don’t forget that the Bible actually taught love and acceptance of everyone! (I’m not attending church any longer due to some important people [bishop] in the ward twisting the words to exclude lgbtq+)
As a lesbian Christian, I was taught to actually love everyone. People shouldn't be using religion as an excuse to be homophobic, transphobic and all this other messed up stuff. People are people, we all need to support and love each other, especially when life can be hard sometimes. I was taught that God loves everyone, and that we are created in his image. I believe that everyone regardless of their beliefs, identity, gender, sexuality, etc are loved and as long as you are a good person, you will go to heaven. Christianity. Is. Not. An. Excuse. For. Hate.
Not allowing Trans people to participate? The fuck? "Oh but theyre going against God's Image" okay? BUT WHAT IF, God's image is for you to BE trans? Huh? Youre gonna go against that? 🤨 im a Christian, Believe in God and Jesus, but I'm also a part of the LGBTQ community and support of Transgenders. Isn't our job to love everyone and not discriminate?
I’m Christian. Believe in god. But I’m also part of the LGB. However TQia+ need their own moment sorry. Sexuality and sexual preference is far different than gender roles and gender identity. Now we get more hate for things that don’t matter to us
This sort of thing really makes me wonder... Hear me out. This is an extreme example to get a point across: What if there was a group of people who operated on a faith system that deemed they should be allowed to murder people if they so choose no matter the reason? What if those same people, when called out for weaponizing their belief system, then said, "This is a huge attack on our faith in this world."? It would make you scratch your head right? It doesn't make sense to act as if your belief system should allow you to blatantly hurt anyone no matter the context or circumstance. It never ceases to amaze and disappointment me just how many people try to use the Christian faith as some sort of free pass to be a deplorable excuse of a human being. Everything this person has said in their own statements directly flies in the face of Christianity itself as a whole. You are not supposed to judge others as that is God's job to do. They judge others. You are supposed to love everyone equally. They do not. Yet they quote only small parts of the same scripture just to fit their narrative while leaving out the parts that literally tell them to do the exact opposite of what they are doing. SMH
It was just an example. Not to specifically reference any already existing faiths. Ex. "My neighbor made me mad today because he let his dog poop on my lawn. I should be allowed to kill him for it."
I honestly just don't understand how people can be so concerned with what's going on in other peoples lives.. like it isn't impacting your life in any way calm yourself😭
@@MikeyBoiYah I’m gay and married, in a relationship for 13 years, the two people you mentioned I respect their viewpoints, doesn’t make it ok to be an asshole because I disagree with them.
First of all, good for you I'm glad, but didn't ask. Second, who was an asshole? The people who fired her, because her "values" didn't align with theirs?
Did you know the term "Polish a Duke" is referring to rubbing Aaron Dukes head for luck. It's rumored in 2022 Aaron saved an an entire football stadium from soccer hooligans when he let the midfielders from each side rub his head to calm the hooligans attacking the pitch.
I am bisexual with Christian family members and still in contact with my high school reverend (went to a private Anglican school) and discussed people like this with them. All of them saying if they were true Christians they would love and accept everyone as is taught in the Bible: acceptance and love. These people are often referred to as "cherry pickers" for taking small portions of the Bible and making it fit their narrative of bigotry (as my reverend put it). Everyone deserves to live and love regardless of whom they are
To trans people, of all types including non-binary folks, out there: survive for those who couldn't, despite how tough it is and how much it hurts. Your existence makes the world better. Stay safe, love to all my trans and non-binary siblings out there.
I still think "cancel Culture isnt a thing" is stupid take. Especially consudering what happened to Supermega just recently but the person in trouble here definately deserves some eyebrows raised for sure. Like i feel like thats unacceptable...
I think it’s more of a “you see what you want to see” scenario. Denying cancel culture is keeping eyes closed to the thousands who have lost their careers based on allegations alone (ex: Johnny depp). But also there any many who should be cancelled that aren’t. Granted, idk how people justify saying that the streamer in the video isn’t cancelled but here we are lol. It’s like people aren’t happy unless those who do them wrong lose their careers and their livelihoods ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"cancel culture doesn't exist" *Shows blatant example of cancel culture* Amazing. It's giraffes all the way down, how did you even reach this level of oversight?
Comments from a video without watching it through fully to the part where creator explains his point Amazing. It’s giraffes all the way down, how did you even reach this level of oversight?
I've had the unfortunate joy of knowing Melonie Mac at a point (one of the people in the tweets shown), and in a decade she's gone from being wonderful, loving, and accepting to just an absolute right-wing mess, obsessively speaking out against LGBT people, vegans, vaccination, etc. just about as much as she preaches.
Nah fk em. Their lives are just as unimportant as the rest of ours 😂 no one’s life is more important than the next persons. So no lives matter. We all just exist. We all live in the same sht hole. No one group is special.
Super funny The Quartering is sponsoring that streamer, he's such a large pile of burning dumpster leavings, they honestly deserve each other, here's to a long and blossoming partnership. Love it when people touch The Quartering, soon as I see that, I know to head the other way :D Makes my job of researching if someone is decent enough to support or not real fast and easy. :3 But very glad companies that I do care about dropped her like a rotten potato.
I am, but I'm also really out of date. Back when I last paid attention to him, he was against excluding people for stupid reasons. It seems like a lot changed.
Ok so I was confused for a long time thinking this was a competitive tournament and was like what’s the problem? But hearing that it’s just for fun it sounds more of a attack on trans people now. So disappointing to see. They obviously wanted to just show light on how they feel and then tried to cover themselves up.
@@kltil5082 I ain’t going to do anything and I certainly wouldn’t post online about not wanting a certain group to be involved in my fun casual games. Put it in this perspective.. it’s like your at highschool right, your going to sports class ready for some fun!! and the teacher and students involve everyone except if your trans… except if your skins a different colour.. LGBTQ? nope there not allowed either. Oh guess what there’s only little Timmy left. Everyone else left because they don’t agree.
I find it ironic that the religious people who are bigoted will not give trans people the basic human respect of gendering them correctly because “they won’t adhere to someone else’s delusions.” Only to get mad when people don’t believe in their religion, or tell them their religion is bullshit in response to these guys trying to force their beliefs down someone’s throat. You can’t call trans people delusional if you’re going to base your world view around something that lacks evidence and you can only have faith in without looking like a hypocrite.
I knew a guy who was 100% confident in "men are better at video games because of reflexes, and motor skills" He actually said that directly to me, a woman. I just laughed at him and said "keep dreaming" because studies literally show that both genders are equal.
They are equal in most things but not everything. Like in video games heck yes they are equal you know. But when it comes to strength and muscles. Most males are naturally stronger as we grow more muscles naturally. But don't get me wrong there is strong females that can kick someone ass as well. But it's just we are not fully equal in biology stuff. But we are mostly equal.
@@ubitialcosmosif so then why are there so few female pros even in games we're there are a lot of women? I wouldn't say that woman are at a disadvantage cause of reflexes but that man just want it more and work harder for it (talking about gaming)
@@freakdavid4085 You just answered your own question; "because they want it more." There are still far more men playing videos games to the woman ratio, and the younger generation will be taking over pro scenes. It's already happening in a few games, so in the up-coming 5-10 years, I don't doubt women will be more abundant in pro scenes.
As a Christian myself they do not speak for the majority of and my apologies for these people and their ignorant thoughts we are taught to love everyone especially transgender no matter who you are so my sister has apologies for what this woman has said
I get the lgbtq stuff yeah but like honest question would people call someone out who's trans and says cis people can't play in their tournaments cause if not then the double standards are wild
Usually I agree with you. But here strongly not with most of what you say. Here that person even quote from the Bible. And a religion is kinda uniqe from that perspective. I don't look like it would be not love somebody. But they belive god made man, and women, and this is dogma. And even tho you choose to change your body, "god" still made you for x or y. And if you changed it, then it is totally fine to not let you participate against the real x or y. Just like in swimming. Honestly I see nothing wrong with it, nothing against trans people. Well okay maybe gaming is a little bit different from swimming and other sports. But i do not think that was against anybody's right, or handle anybody not human or anything like this... And about that cancel culture... Just because you bring out an example against it it doesn't mean that the problem is not there. Also because it's many time fails the problem is still there, and those who try to cancel something or somebody make many dmg for their own thing.
What she doesn't realize is when she gets to meet Jesus at the pearly gates, she'll realize this kinda behavior is the exact OPPOSITE of what Jesus preaches.
I have Religious Catholic roots, but otherwise deeply spiritual. My mom raised me right to _never_ judge others other than if they're an asshole or not a asshole. I had a bit of a too forgiving heart to even assholes, but nonetheless had wicken friends, atheist friends, friends of different religions or my fellow religion. It was more commonly the ultra religious different Christian types like Jehovah Witness, uhh.... I think Protestant church? And one other i can't quite remember which almost had a cult like demeanor. The type that they'd prefer their kid be homeless than marry a guy they chose, or befriended someone who was unsure of God. Who believed shorts and pants on women/girls were EVIL. Any non-Christian music, T.V., etc., was EVIL. I.... uh.... *tainted* one of my friends into liking Pokemon. She had to keep it a 100% secret. She was also the one who was abandoned while still technically a minor. She wanted to go to collage, and not be married off to a older man in their church like her older sister- and later younger sister. She slept in a car, attending collage which she had earned a Scholarship for. The dean found out and actually helped her out when dhe called and updated me. Unfortunately despite being extremely close, her family moved across Country. We kept in contact but i did worry when she stopped calling. Or A.I.M. messages. [Early A.O.L. days lol] She found a Christian man, eho just wasn't crazy and respected people. They tried to sabotage her so she went zero contact with a court order to leave her alone. I attended her Star Wars themed Wedding. :) Her side was Sith, Husband's was Jedi. ;u; She made me turn to the dark side, lol. But despite family drama now that im dealing with. I am very happy I was raised at least to respect everyone until their jackass behavior loses said respect. I have a feeling I'd be that way anyways.
I respectfully disagree with cancel culture not being a thing, or maybe we're all not decisive on the definitive definition of 'Cancelling' a person/group. However, I do feel that canceling a person or group is rare; the only solid case that comes to mind right away would be DaddyOFive. I'm sure the Daddy, and Mommy, of that UA-cam channel are out there working 9-5s right now; Daddyofive got canceled for their content pranking their kids going so overboard. After severe backlash, they tried posting a BS apology video and even were on Good Morning America where they looked like idiots. They tried coming back as 'FmilyOFive' and UA-cam deleted that channel too. They tried just having their own website and posting videos on it but they had to pull all of their video footage containing their kids, AND the dad got sentenced to 5 yrs probation for one count of child abuse. It's not a huge sentence but it's enough to prove abuse. In my humble opinion, they have successfully been canceled. They have a channel up now called TheMartinFamily, but you can tell from the comments that ppl still don't like them and don't want to support them.
I love both DBD content and comentary/reaction content so this change doesn’t borher me at all. Also I 100% agree with the “Cancel culture doesn’t exist” statement. Keep up the good work.
"Oh no, the consequences of my actions!" I wonder how this person would feel if someone held an interfaith video game scrim, and were like "I love and respect all people! So everyone of all faiths are welcome. Except Christians."
Honestly the Bible does say love thy neighbor but it also says let he who is without sin cast the 1st stone. I believe that all Trans people and Trans rights are valid. I am a Christian and don't like pushing my belief on others. So have fun with that and keep it real people
I genuinely don’t understand why people have trouble with anyone being trans just makes me really not wanna tell anyone at all in my family I’m trans even more
Well it did its job. She IS being punished and her numbers ARE taking a hit. I don't think punishment always has to be 100%. If you loose 10,000 subs or 20,000 people unfollow that IS punishment. Is it enough? I don't know. No one can ever give me a number on 'enough' whenever I ask them.
While yes I don't mind trans people I do think in competitions it should be based on birth gender as there are real genetic and mental differences between the two (I am truly and genuinely sorry if this is homophobic in any way it is not my intention to spread hate) that being said, the tournament she was hosting was a casual practice one so she had zero reason to ban trans people as there is no real need to in that situation (thx for readin have a great day!)
Safe space that was for women, who think and act like women. The hell is she on about? Like she does know once upon a time people used to think women who bled were considered devil worshippers and evil all because Eve ate a damn fruit. As a biological woman, God also stated not to expect money as though it were life itself, but she had sponsors. Basically she's allowed to live the way she wants because that's the way the world is with currency and God can't help that but because trans people can help the way they live, they shouldn't be allowed in our spaces? Like I'm genuinely confused as a Christian as to why people assume there's not going to be creeps regardless of what kind of space you set up. But because she says that God imagined himself as a man and a woman then God is also not welcomed so by her own logic or way of wording, she backfired her own post without realizing it.
Quartering being the one you were talking about didnt surprise me that person usually has their name all over anything thats bigoted and whats worse defending it
I definitely didn't use any inappropriate words, but I believe there's a certain youtuber you don't want to be mentioned in your comment section, so the comment's being deleted automatically, if it mentions his channels name and this youtuber isn't someone who deserves the Voldemort treatment imo.
Well not sure we should judge your Christian friend I'm not religious but for what I understand Christianity isn't about love and acceptance, it's about repent of your sins and faith in God. So in reality Christians aren't supposed to accept Lgbtq sins.
You are actually half right with your statement here. It is both of these things as I was raised up in Christianity. The Bible teaches us to love thy neighbor as thyself and it is one of the 10 commandments. So you don't have to like a certain group but you cannot discriminate or hurt anyone. You must love, forgive, repent, pray for them, and have faith that they see the errors in their ways. This is not my view as I support the lgbtq community wholeheartedly but this view is shared by some Christians specifically my mom for example
This is false. One of the thirteen commandments says you can’t judge anyone until you judge yourself. Plus a scripture in the Bible states to love your neighbor. Oh and before 1946 the Bible never mentions sexuality at all but pedophilia instead.
I just think people shouldn't expect Christians to be allies or support changing the rules about gender assigned rights just based on love and acceptance. It's basically against there terms of service lol
Lol yea you are right. They may not support it like my mom doesn't but she loves everyone regardless. It just depends on the person but Christians shouldn't be discriminating or judging anyone because it says in the Bible that no one can judge but God and one of the 10 commandments is to love thy neighbor as thyself. So whoever actually discriminates or hates trans people are sinning themselves they have no right to judge.
I genuinely hate it when people use religion as a weapon. Grew up religious, not like that anymore, but I do respect everyone's religion. It's not right that people think like that, and if anything "the Bible was made by man." Man make mistakes. Trans rights must be heard. Respect to everyone, just not pricks
As someone from the Midwest, every SINGLE "Christian" I've dealt with is along these lines and it's disgusting. I vote we, as a collective, include them like everyone should be and start cancel culture for them instead, out of love of course! 🥰
The comments and the video itself taking issue with someone trying to uphold their beliefs while hosting something with no outside affiliations, at least none that could be gathered from the context of this video, are genuinely abhorrent. The people celebrating are grotesque and inhuman. Doing something positive in your own space on your own time should not have negative consequences, regardless of which groups you include or exclude. Those of you who are happy this person has lost any part of their livelihood are genuinely disgusting creatures that need to examine themselves very closely. This is not a trans rights issue, nobody has a right to play videogames or participate in tournaments. Nobody has a right to be in any space they so choose. Being excluded does not equate to bigotry. This person is no more a bigot than any of us for getting a cat instead of a dog or vice versa. The person hosting the tournament wanted it to be female only, as much as it sucks to be excluded from something you may want to participate in, you cannot and should not try to force your way in to a space you are not wanted or welcome. Not everything is for you or about you. It's a hard pill to swallow I'm sure but that's how the world works. Perhaps the error is a linguistic one, as the tournament was tagged as "ladies" only, however the intent was for females only and that should be respected. Trans people have their own spaces and could host their own tournaments or engage in other trans inclusionary events. This person towed the line for other women's events and was not against trans people participating. They were okay with trans people participating or at the very least willing to set aside their religion and their beliefs to co-exist with trans people in those spaces which, however bigoted anyone may think those beliefs are, is a huge deal. Society is formed of many compromises of ideals and if someone truly doesn't want trans people in certain spaces then them being tolerant of exactly that is huge win, is it not? If they're okay with trans people in women's events they're involved with and actively working for then why is it an issue for them to exclude trans women from personally hosted female spaces? It seems like the tolerance has been dropped and now only acceptance is allowed. Trans women, women as they may be in current year, are not and will never be female. It is not hatred or bigotry to acknowledge that and it is not hatred or bigotry to exclude trans people from male or female recreational spaces. This person IS a victim and it's disingenuous to pretend or portray otherwise because what she lost was a result of excluding trans people from a female only space, regardless of how well or how quickly she recovers. As a side note: Hearing about the religious person in Aaron's life sucks, sorry you had to go through that. However my comment may be perceived I do think people of all walks of life should be shown kindness as the default, I just don't think every person has a right to be in every space.
Not every person has the right to be in every space, exactly, which is why the sponsors have a right not to want this person in their space. If you say this person is a victim for not being wanted in those sponsors spaces, then every person in existence is a victim, cause there will always be a space theyre not wanted in, no matter if their intentions are good or bad.
@@YoshuaMidas I'm glad you agree, meaning there should be no issue or backlash. Being excluded from something you are not a part of where the people there do not want you is much different from losing out on income due to your political or religious beliefs. One group of people was excluded from a gaming space that was meant exclusively for females, one person lost income over something that happened in a space unaffiliated with their work or sponsors because of identity politics. These things are not the same. One of these is vastly worse and sets a dangerous precedent of being forced to go along with things you disagree with in your PRIVATE life or face consequences at your job. That is to say nothing of setting that precedent that transwomen should be allowed into female spaces. People are conflating exclusion from a privately hosted tournament with exclusion from the game and official events as a whole and using it as an excuse to deem the person in question as something she is not.
@@ZanryuGaming so the rule counts overall but should be bend depending on the consequences? I don't see that as right. Either it goes for everything or nothing. That includes Jobs. Especially in the social field. A company or sponsor has all the rights to throw someone out that doesn't represent what they stand for. It is not like it's the people's reaction that lead to this. It's the creators action.
@@ZanryuGamingIf a person, without the permission of the companies they are working with, uses religion as the sole reason to exclude groups of people from using those companies' services, especially when those companies are not religious themselves, that person is acting very irresponsibly with their power, and might need to be switched with someone who will actually respect the companies they work with.
@@ZanryuGamingAlso, another reason. Simply ask yourself what if she said "No Mexicans", because she did not believe Mexican women were real women. Same logic applies here.
I was raised catholic (not my choice), here is one bible verse that annihilates Christian fueled homophobia and transphobia. 'Whomever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever hates their brother or sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.' -1 John 4:20 This also disproves not bekng able to use "they" as a pronoun because the translation use it as such.
I don't see the problem with not wanting a trans person in an all girls game....... I wouldn't want Usain Bolt to say he was a girl then go break every female track record
@hhoe8051 You do know that men typically have faster reaction times, right? And are less prone to panic. Quit lying because you have no real argument.

The way she went about this is completely wrong admittedly i agree with her on the idea of if its a girls only tournament then honestly i don't believe trans should be included especially because issues in the past with trans players competing in female tournaments and then getting extremely aggressive but still this shouldn't of had anything to do with a religion she should of thought of it from a logical standpoint not a religious one
Can someone explain to me how "No trans people allowed" is any different from "No men allowed"? Just because a group is banned doesn't mean they aren't valued or loved. How is this bigotry if "No men" isn't considered sexist? (I'm fishing for mature feedback)
“No men” is usually implemented to ensure safety and comfort for women. This instance of “no trans people” was an attack on their identity and legitimacy as women. Very different things
@@AaronDukeYT Not everyone believes in modern gender theory, her event was female only and trans women don't fall under that category. Do you think separating events based on sex is immoral or evil?
@@kuppa391 this "not everyone believes in ..." argument is so senseless. Lets say I dont believe in birds; does that mean they dont exist now? If its okay to seperate events by sex is an entire diffrent topic, but trans people exist, which is proven, despite what you believe in. Believes are not a valid argument.
its the same situation with taller toast unfortunately, spooks got him banned from twitch for like a week and now he's going on his merry way, still streaming just as hateful and bigoted as ever just like nothing happened
I assume their reasoning is male gamers that transition may have an advantage in the event as most of the competitive gaming scene is males Again just assumption
She wasn’t discriminating and this is where many get confused while I don’t agree when it comes to E Sports but saying biological females only isn’t saying trans people can’t exist it’s stating that the term trans is there for a reason so many people are trying to erase biological women that fought for equality and now they’re having to do so again when they are mentally stronger than any trans woman or biological male let alone what their bodies go through yes we should love everyone and let everyone be who they are but don’t get it twisted trans women can never be what natural women are

To the members of the LGBTQ+ community I hope find this message. I say this as a Heterosexual Catholic Man; God does not hate you, he made you as you are whether you're attracted to the same gender or identify as one you weren't assigned at birth. He loves you all and all are welcome to his paradise. It pains me to see others twist his words to fit their hateful views and it breaks my heart to hear of the torment they inflict upon others they deem lesser. Please know that these people speak only for themselves and not for God. You are all deserving of love and are loved. I may not be a part of your community but I only see you all as you are, fellow humans and my siblings. I hope this message helps and I hope only the best. ❤
Tysm for this. I have extremely homophobic parents and people like you help me realize that not all Christians are bad. Even though I don't want to be Christian anymore due to the trauma, I do have your respect.
Thank you, as a Catholic transman, it feels so good to be validated by my fellow Catholics. God is keeping a spot in heaven for you.
That's a beautiful comment you posted, Thank you so very much, As A Catholic and a Woman I treat everyone with kindness, compassion, love and respect no matter what you are or who you are, God loves all and everyone on this earth, remembering that you are loved and you matter. 😊 😊 Never let the evil get inside your hearts as well as your heads, live the life the way you wanted and always be happy. 😊 😊 ❤❤
Hi. I am an atheist, so I don't really think your message is for me, but I thank you nonetheless. It always makes me happy to see religious people stand up for their queer siblings. Please take care and much love.
Thank you this was amazing
I don’t know how someone can think denouncing any group of people online won’t lead to consequences.
It’s baffling.
People denounce entire groups of people online with zero consequences all the time. The trick is to pick the correct group of people to hate.
@@MrDancyPantsTVAnd also make a community that agrees with your hatred. Any "cancelation" is more often than not the people celebrities and youtubers curated throughout the years, so if your audience "cancels" you, it's literally just on you for having skeletons in your closet.
@@jatinmarcob2128 Yeah, it's generally kinda tricky to get an entire audience to turn without the celebrity doing something completely out of character. That being said, losing a corporate sponsorship is ridiculously easy and that really is something that many people forget; which is stranger since that's often where a good chunk of money can come from.
You just gotta denounce the right group and you'll be fine
Lmfao you can throw a dart and hit a post or tweet slandering straight cis white men.
I grew up in the church and used to be Baptist but now I simply consider myself spiritual. Christianity is honestly a religion most only follow behind because it’s expected of them especially depending on upbringing. I found a new path after being told that me being molested was apart of god’s plan because I knew that couldn’t be so. The Bible doesn’t speak on sexuality nor emphasize gender until 1946. It mainly spoke on pedophilia. For man to lay with child not with man. You learn a lot once you step away from harmful practices but the bible is only a device that’s used for everyday life but it’s up to you to decipher it’s true meaning. These are also some of the same people opposed to witchcraft but you blow out candles on a cake, knock on wood, and eat the body of Christ which are all forms of rituals.
TW: Religious Speak
I was raised Catholic and attended a Catholic school from ages 5-15. As someone who has actually learned doctrine and core Christian beliefs, it is sad to see that people think, "respecting all people" doesn't include certain groups. It would seem we have ventured far from what I believe the teachings should have been. Respect is deserved by anyone just trying to be respectful and live their lives. My thoughts on cancel culture are... complicated and controversial as a trans person. A core belief in Christianity actually is to love your neighbor as yourself. Never does it say "love the neighbors you deem as sinless as yourself." In fact, no matter what you think (I don't think being transgender is sinful cause well... Jesus never taught hatred, especially given trans people were prominent during his life), but EVEN IF you think that being trans is sinful, didn't Jesus love sinners? Last I checked, 99.99% of the people he spent time with were sinners. So... there really isn't an excuse. There's no excuse in the religious doctrine or in the "normal" public eye. Now, on a different note, people like this do make trans lives harder to live. As a trans woman, I should know what a large majority of trans people have to go through daily. It ranges from looks in the store to attacks both physical and mental. The part that bothers me isn't that trans people aren't allowed in (it's her event, she can allow whoever she wants). My problem is her reasoning. If it were something like, "ok, we only want cis women here because we're celebrating cis women," there would be no issue with that. However, trying to cite the Bible to justify hatred to a community is... wrong. I do hope that anyone who is Christian does think on what I've said here. Automatic hatred for ANYONE just because of something they cannot control is unjustified and wrong. Hopefully, I don't have to remind anyone of periods in history where people were massacred because of traits they cannot control (nationality, gender, race, etc). As always, please make sure to have a wonderful day and take care of yourselves :)
Very well spoken I couldn't have said it better myself amen. Bless your heart.
I very much appreciate your comment. We see the dark path our fellow Christians are going down. It's like... they've become confused or are misinterpreting the teachings. Or maybe these UA-camrs/Streamers are just fake AF and are selling outrage. It's kinda their business model-- they need this stuff to react to and stir up an audience.
I'm not Christian, but I agree with you. You can't say you preach and practice love in one hand, then persecute with the other.
Growing up as a Christian and now living in the south, it baffles me how many Christians don't understand that cornering and singling out people due to their personal lifestyle or choices is against the entire image or goal of the religion, why preach something and then say "well, not for you!", it's entirely hypocritical and impractical. This is the first video I have seen from you, excited to see more! :)
small edit: i don't practice the religion anymore ^^
You're talking about the same people who committed mass murder in the name of God 😅. Modern religion is much better than that of the past, buuuuuuut they are still extremely discriminatory (obviously not all, but most)
Even if you ignore the rest of the bible, one of the main teachings is the last supper where Jesus ate with criminals and prostitutes and the "lowest of society" and said he was no better than any of them, even as the son of God, because he too has sinned. Everyone is a sinner, we are born sinners, and you cant hate one sin more than the other or one sinner more than the other, we are all equal. I didnt like Christianity because all i knew was "god hates lgbt+" and basically supported these people's bigotry but once i actually sat down and learned more of the religion, i may disagree with some passages but most of the teachings i can get behind. Jesus was a pretty cool and chill dude, i respect him a lot and i respect that god changed a lot from the first testament's teachings. Which also begs the question, if God changed his ways from the first testament, why cant he change from the new testament?
Edit: wanted to be clear and make a quick edit coming back to this comment and rereading it. I dont believe god hates the lgbt community, i meant i learned he did through "christians" saying he did. "The new testament, the one we follow, says god is a bigot so we must be one too 🥰" um.. no? It was written in the first century. You're telling me he had 19-20 centuries to change his mind on a couple things but he still "homophobic and transphobic etc" nah bro. I think he either changed his mind and grew with the times, or wasn't a bigot in the first place bc that doesn't really make sense. Stealing is a choice. Drinking or getting high is a choice, that's why they're sins. You can choose between good and evil. But as we know, we can't control who we are attracted to. God made each of us, im sure he doesn't hate lgbt people if he's literally making us? Thats like being allergic to peanuts or at least despise them to the point you constantly get sick around them but you work in a peanut butter factory. Idk man, doesn't add up. He's fair and just, he doesn't hate people for who they are. It's how you choose to behave when you know what's right and wrong.
agreed. like "i love all... except for that group of people, for no bigoted reason at all!!"
@@Thebatcavepetfriendlybakery hmm? i don't remember god hating lgbtq? i'm not religious (anymore), but i thought it was mostly polyphobia (against polyamory) and mention of man should not sleep with boy, (misinterpreted repeatedly through different languages??). and it makes sense, agreeing with everything in the bible it utterly ridiculous, you'd have to be a puppet rather than human.
@@kitenlovar699 no he doesnt, i meant thats what i learned through fake christians picking and choosing what they wanted to hear from the bible and using it as ammo to support their hatred and bigotry. I shouldve made that more clear. If god hated lgbtq, jesus being part of god, he wouldnt have sat with them and shown them kindness. Plus, god is a loving and fair god. He doesnt hate. Im christian now, i didnt used to be because i didnt want to be associated with the bigots that like to weaponize religion.
As a Christian, I not only find people like the first girl degrading - but she really just made the group out to be bad. Even the people that support her.
As a Christian, my whole life, I was shown to be welcoming, accepting, and open to anything new in the world. Everyone is a person and should be treated the way you would want to be treated.
You believe in a book that condones killing gays and those who perform witchcraft lol
What you just described isn't Christianity. Parts of it sure but far from the full story. "Christians" are always funny like that. They pick and choose the parts they like and brush the rest under the carpet with a smile on their face. Most other religions are all or nothing, which imo is at least some what commendable. Christians though, far too fickle.

What's so sad ab this whole situation is that she'd been someone a part of a friend's community who I mod for, as well as someone who my girlfriend, a trans femme, had actually played with quite a few times and had been friends with. Seeing this whole thing happen in real time, and the disappointment from both my girlfriend and the friend I mod for was just heartbreaking to see, knowing how many fun stories they'd both had to tell from their time playing with this streamer. I sincerely hope she's able to learn and grow after this whole thing has happened to her..
When it comes to the expression that Christianity/religion is "under attack", one common thing about the individual making the claim is more-often-than-not THEY are the one who first brings their faith into the light, and often during or after a statement or action against someone else or another group. Their faith is both their sword and shield. In their eyes, it's the justification and protection for Why they feel/act/say in this way. It's the religious equivalent of wanting to have their cake and eat it too.
Plus, last I checked - and maybe it's due to my own "echo chamber", but when's the last time we've seen/heard the headline when Christianity was being directly targeted without having thrown the first punch? I consider myself extremely news away and I can't recount a single time I've seen a student at a private catholic school, or member of a Christian church, denied service or access to something based on their faith alone.
I forget where I heard it first, but the truth of it is, you cannot be "cancelled" by haters, only by your own community. So if you do or say something vile enough that your community drops you, that is CONSEQUENCES, not cancellation.
Eventually the public will accept the concept of trans people itll just take some form of education.
Or we will all snap back to reality and realize it’s not someone else’s job to buy into other peoples bullsht 🤷🏻♂ everyone will live their own life instead of constantly seeking acceptance or worrying about what others think.

@wntdspartan1345 Alright, you're one of the ones that think trans people are the same as the people that make FUN of trans people, or identify as something more extreme, like a cat. Let me tell you this: No, that is a completely different topic. We're talking about people that were assigned female or male at birth, but deal with gender dysphoria, thus change to the opposite gender. YOU are talking about the extreme cases, that have a 1% chance of happening, which get broadcasted and used to ridicule the trans people that actually just want to live their lives in peace.
Also, if you feel the need to hound on an entitled customer that is upset, you are seriously too absorbed with other people's lives than your own.
When someone gets met with rude people, they don’t wanna hear what you have to say. I love how smart you are about cancel culture how it should be about educating not cancelling.

To all the trans folks, don’t forget that the Bible actually taught love and acceptance of everyone! (I’m not attending church any longer due to some important people [bishop] in the ward twisting the words to exclude lgbtq+)
"as sharp as a marble" definitely stealing this 😭😭
As a lesbian Christian, I was taught to actually love everyone. People shouldn't be using religion as an excuse to be homophobic, transphobic and all this other messed up stuff. People are people, we all need to support and love each other, especially when life can be hard sometimes. I was taught that God loves everyone, and that we are created in his image. I believe that everyone regardless of their beliefs, identity, gender, sexuality, etc are loved and as long as you are a good person, you will go to heaven. Christianity. Is. Not. An. Excuse. For. Hate.

This sort of thing really makes me wonder... Hear me out. This is an extreme example to get a point across: What if there was a group of people who operated on a faith system that deemed they should be allowed to murder people if they so choose no matter the reason? What if those same people, when called out for weaponizing their belief system, then said, "This is a huge attack on our faith in this world."? It would make you scratch your head right?
It doesn't make sense to act as if your belief system should allow you to blatantly hurt anyone no matter the context or circumstance. It never ceases to amaze and disappointment me just how many people try to use the Christian faith as some sort of free pass to be a deplorable excuse of a human being. Everything this person has said in their own statements directly flies in the face of Christianity itself as a whole. You are not supposed to judge others as that is God's job to do. They judge others. You are supposed to love everyone equally. They do not. Yet they quote only small parts of the same scripture just to fit their narrative while leaving out the parts that literally tell them to do the exact opposite of what they are doing. SMH

I am bisexual with Christian family members and still in contact with my high school reverend (went to a private Anglican school) and discussed people like this with them. All of them saying if they were true Christians they would love and accept everyone as is taught in the Bible: acceptance and love.

Just had my nails painted and now i gotta listen to you call out bigotry what a great day
I've had the unfortunate joy of knowing Melonie Mac at a point (one of the people in the tweets shown), and in a decade she's gone from being wonderful, loving, and accepting to just an absolute right-wing mess, obsessively speaking out against LGBT people, vegans, vaccination, etc. just about as much as she preaches.
Oh boy
I have heard of this, and I am so sorry to those it affected.
Trans lives matter.
Nah fk em. Their lives are just as unimportant as the rest of ours 😂 no one’s life is more important than the next persons. So no lives matter. We all just exist. We all live in the same sht hole. No one group is special.
Super funny The Quartering is sponsoring that streamer, he's such a large pile of burning dumpster leavings, they honestly deserve each other, here's to a long and blossoming partnership. Love it when people touch The Quartering, soon as I see that, I know to head the other way :D Makes my job of researching if someone is decent enough to support or not real fast and easy. :3 But very glad companies that I do care about dropped her like a rotten potato.
Of COURSE it was The Quartering who supported her.
Yeah he seems to have pretty interested views, huh?
@@AaronDukeYThe pissed on his basement floor one stream because he didn't want to lose a game of fall guys.
@hhoe8051 oh yea, his wife went out for pizza without him that night and he lashed out
That’s what I said!
This video triggered my baptist private school PTSD. I jest, but also not really ahahahaha....
not surprised the quartering is supporting her
I am, but I'm also really out of date. Back when I last paid attention to him, he was against excluding people for stupid reasons. It seems like a lot changed.
I love and value everyone! (Terms and conditions may apply)
Man I love it when people who have no clue what Christianity is try to talk about it.
Ok so I was confused for a long time thinking this was a competitive tournament and was like what’s the problem? But hearing that it’s just for fun it sounds more of a attack on trans people now. So disappointing to see. They obviously wanted to just show light on how they feel and then tried to cover themselves up.
@@kltil5082 I ain’t going to do anything and I certainly wouldn’t post online about not wanting a certain group to be involved in my fun casual games. Put it in this perspective.. it’s like your at highschool right, your going to sports class ready for some fun!! and the teacher and students involve everyone except if your trans… except if your skins a different colour.. LGBTQ? nope there not allowed either. Oh guess what there’s only little Timmy left. Everyone else left because they don’t agree.
I find it ironic that the religious people who are bigoted will not give trans people the basic human respect of gendering them correctly because “they won’t adhere to someone else’s delusions.” Only to get mad when people don’t believe in their religion, or tell them their religion is bullshit in response to these guys trying to force their beliefs down someone’s throat.
You can’t call trans people delusional if you’re going to base your world view around something that lacks evidence and you can only have faith in without looking like a hypocrite.
I knew a guy who was 100% confident in "men are better at video games because of reflexes, and motor skills"
He actually said that directly to me, a woman. I just laughed at him and said "keep dreaming" because studies literally show that both genders are equal.
They are equal in most things but not everything. Like in video games heck yes they are equal you know. But when it comes to strength and muscles. Most males are naturally stronger as we grow more muscles naturally. But don't get me wrong there is strong females that can kick someone ass as well. But it's just we are not fully equal in biology stuff. But we are mostly equal.
@@maikohfahuldust9231 when I said we are equal I meant in gaming because I was ... well, on that topic. Lol
@@maikohfahuldust9231 when I said we are equal I meant in gaming because I was ... well, on that topic. Lol
@@ubitialcosmosif so then why are there so few female pros even in games we're there are a lot of women? I wouldn't say that woman are at a disadvantage cause of reflexes but that man just want it more and work harder for it (talking about gaming)
@@freakdavid4085 You just answered your own question; "because they want it more."
There are still far more men playing videos games to the woman ratio, and the younger generation will be taking over pro scenes. It's already happening in a few games, so in the up-coming 5-10 years, I don't doubt women will be more abundant in pro scenes.
As a Christian myself they do not speak for the majority of and my apologies for these people and their ignorant thoughts we are taught to love everyone especially transgender no matter who you are so my sister has apologies for what this woman has said
Some people need to look in the mirror and insult themselves so they see if they get offended on their own bullshit.
I get the lgbtq stuff yeah but like honest question would people call someone out who's trans and says cis people can't play in their tournaments cause if not then the double standards are wild
Usually I agree with you. But here strongly not with most of what you say.
Here that person even quote from the Bible. And a religion is kinda uniqe from that perspective. I don't look like it would be not love somebody. But they belive god made man, and women, and this is dogma. And even tho you choose to change your body, "god" still made you for x or y. And if you changed it, then it is totally fine to not let you participate against the real x or y. Just like in swimming. Honestly I see nothing wrong with it, nothing against trans people.
Well okay maybe gaming is a little bit different from swimming and other sports. But i do not think that was against anybody's right, or handle anybody not human or anything like this...
And about that cancel culture... Just because you bring out an example against it it doesn't mean that the problem is not there. Also because it's many time fails the problem is still there, and those who try to cancel something or somebody make many dmg for their own thing.
Interesting. Does one sex have an advantage over the other in video games? I wouldn't think so.
What she doesn't realize is when she gets to meet Jesus at the pearly gates, she'll realize this kinda behavior is the exact OPPOSITE of what Jesus preaches.
As someone with a Trans family Member TY! Trans Lives Matter Trans Rights are human rights. Also Get Well Soon.
I have Religious Catholic roots, but otherwise deeply spiritual. My mom raised me right to _never_ judge others other than if they're an asshole or not a asshole. I had a bit of a too forgiving heart to even assholes, but nonetheless had wicken friends, atheist friends, friends of different religions or my fellow religion. It was more commonly the ultra religious different Christian types like Jehovah Witness, uhh.... I think Protestant church? And one other i can't quite remember which almost had a cult like demeanor. The type that they'd prefer their kid be homeless than marry a guy they chose, or befriended someone who was unsure of God. Who believed shorts and pants on women/girls were EVIL. Any non-Christian music, T.V., etc., was EVIL.
I.... uh.... *tainted* one of my friends into liking Pokemon. She had to keep it a 100% secret. She was also the one who was abandoned while still technically a minor. She wanted to go to collage, and not be married off to a older man in their church like her older sister- and later younger sister. She slept in a car, attending collage which she had earned a Scholarship for. The dean found out and actually helped her out when dhe called and updated me.
Unfortunately despite being extremely close, her family moved across Country. We kept in contact but i did worry when she stopped calling. Or A.I.M. messages. [Early A.O.L. days lol]
She found a Christian man, eho just wasn't crazy and respected people. They tried to sabotage her so she went zero contact with a court order to leave her alone. I attended her Star Wars themed Wedding. :) Her side was Sith, Husband's was Jedi. ;u; She made me turn to the dark side, lol.
But despite family drama now that im dealing with. I am very happy I was raised at least to respect everyone until their jackass behavior loses said respect. I have a feeling I'd be that way anyways.
I respectfully disagree with cancel culture not being a thing, or maybe we're all not decisive on the definitive definition of 'Cancelling' a person/group. However, I do feel that canceling a person or group is rare; the only solid case that comes to mind right away would be DaddyOFive.
I'm sure the Daddy, and Mommy, of that UA-cam channel are out there working 9-5s right now; Daddyofive got canceled for their content pranking their kids going so overboard. After severe backlash, they tried posting a BS apology video and even were on Good Morning America where they looked like idiots.
They tried coming back as 'FmilyOFive' and UA-cam deleted that channel too.
They tried just having their own website and posting videos on it but they had to pull all of their video footage containing their kids, AND the dad got sentenced to 5 yrs probation for one count of child abuse. It's not a huge sentence but it's enough to prove abuse.
In my humble opinion, they have successfully been canceled. They have a channel up now called TheMartinFamily, but you can tell from the comments that ppl still don't like them and don't want to support them.
Very interesting, thank you for this video!
And that woman gives other Christians like myself a bad name
I love both DBD content and comentary/reaction content so this change doesn’t borher me at all. Also I 100% agree with the “Cancel culture doesn’t exist” statement. Keep up the good work.
"Oh no, the consequences of my actions!"
I wonder how this person would feel if someone held an interfaith video game scrim, and were like "I love and respect all people! So everyone of all faiths are welcome. Except Christians."
Honestly the Bible does say love thy neighbor but it also says let he who is without sin cast the 1st stone. I believe that all Trans people and Trans rights are valid. I am a Christian and don't like pushing my belief on others. So have fun with that and keep it real people
I genuinely don’t understand why people have trouble with anyone being trans just makes me really not wanna tell anyone at all in my family I’m trans even more
Well it did its job. She IS being punished and her numbers ARE taking a hit. I don't think punishment always has to be 100%. If you loose 10,000 subs or 20,000 people unfollow that IS punishment. Is it enough? I don't know. No one can ever give me a number on 'enough' whenever I ask them.
I remember when Melonie Mac when she use to stream was against Homophobia and transphobia dk why all of a sudden she changed and allows it now
While yes I don't mind trans people I do think in competitions it should be based on birth gender as there are real genetic and mental differences between the two (I am truly and genuinely sorry if this is homophobic in any way it is not my intention to spread hate) that being said, the tournament she was hosting was a casual practice one so she had zero reason to ban trans people as there is no real need to in that situation (thx for readin have a great day!)
Safe space that was for women, who think and act like women. The hell is she on about? Like she does know once upon a time people used to think women who bled were considered devil worshippers and evil all because Eve ate a damn fruit. As a biological woman, God also stated not to expect money as though it were life itself, but she had sponsors.
Basically she's allowed to live the way she wants because that's the way the world is with currency and God can't help that but because trans people can help the way they live, they shouldn't be allowed in our spaces?
Like I'm genuinely confused as a Christian as to why people assume there's not going to be creeps regardless of what kind of space you set up. But because she says that God imagined himself as a man and a woman then God is also not welcomed so by her own logic or way of wording, she backfired her own post without realizing it.
Quartering being the one you were talking about didnt surprise me that person usually has their name all over anything thats bigoted and whats worse defending it
her reputation isn't destroyed and why fight "hate" with more hate? why delete my comment? sorry man, but that's not a good look for you too.
I didn’t delete your comment? UA-cam may have flagged it as potentially inappropriate though by the sounds of it?
I definitely didn't use any inappropriate words, but I believe there's a certain youtuber you don't want to be mentioned in your comment section, so the comment's being deleted automatically, if it mentions his channels name and this youtuber isn't someone who deserves the Voldemort treatment imo.
@@belavera994afaik, i think he blocks peoples names so that people don’t share and get others to attack them
The name I’m blocking isn’t a male name so, again, I haven’t been deleting comments on this video
New Aaron Duke video drops

👀👀🏃♀💨💨💨
Well not sure we should judge your Christian friend I'm not religious but for what I understand Christianity isn't about love and acceptance, it's about repent of your sins and faith in God. So in reality Christians aren't supposed to accept Lgbtq sins.
You are actually half right with your statement here. It is both of these things as I was raised up in Christianity. The Bible teaches us to love thy neighbor as thyself and it is one of the 10 commandments. So you don't have to like a certain group but you cannot discriminate or hurt anyone. You must love, forgive, repent, pray for them, and have faith that they see the errors in their ways. This is not my view as I support the lgbtq community wholeheartedly but this view is shared by some Christians specifically my mom for example
This is false. One of the thirteen commandments says you can’t judge anyone until you judge yourself. Plus a scripture in the Bible states to love your neighbor. Oh and before 1946 the Bible never mentions sexuality at all but pedophilia instead.
Sounds right I also experienced Christianity through my family but Im not Christian myself as I'm not sure of God's existence.
I just think people shouldn't expect Christians to be allies or support changing the rules about gender assigned rights just based on love and acceptance. It's basically against there terms of service lol
Lol yea you are right. They may not support it like my mom doesn't but she loves everyone regardless. It just depends on the person but Christians shouldn't be discriminating or judging anyone because it says in the Bible that no one can judge but God and one of the 10 commandments is to love thy neighbor as thyself. So whoever actually discriminates or hates trans people are sinning themselves they have no right to judge.
I genuinely hate it when people use religion as a weapon. Grew up religious, not like that anymore, but I do respect everyone's religion. It's not right that people think like that, and if anything "the Bible was made by man." Man make mistakes. Trans rights must be heard. Respect to everyone, just not pricks
Wait master cheif speaks
Of course the QuarterPounder supports them xD
Not relevant to this video, but it's awesome that The Act Man used a take of you in his Starfield hot takes video just recently
The entitlement, drama and always playing victim might have something to do with people wanting to have female only nights 😂
As a trans Creator. I fucking love you too. ♥ Thank you.
As someone from the Midwest, every SINGLE "Christian" I've dealt with is along these lines and it's disgusting. I vote we, as a collective, include them like everyone should be and start cancel culture for them instead, out of love of course! 🥰
Just like every single trans woman is a male.
The comments and the video itself taking issue with someone trying to uphold their beliefs while hosting something with no outside affiliations, at least none that could be gathered from the context of this video, are genuinely abhorrent. The people celebrating are grotesque and inhuman. Doing something positive in your own space on your own time should not have negative consequences, regardless of which groups you include or exclude. Those of you who are happy this person has lost any part of their livelihood are genuinely disgusting creatures that need to examine themselves very closely. This is not a trans rights issue, nobody has a right to play videogames or participate in tournaments. Nobody has a right to be in any space they so choose. Being excluded does not equate to bigotry. This person is no more a bigot than any of us for getting a cat instead of a dog or vice versa.
The person hosting the tournament wanted it to be female only, as much as it sucks to be excluded from something you may want to participate in, you cannot and should not try to force your way in to a space you are not wanted or welcome. Not everything is for you or about you. It's a hard pill to swallow I'm sure but that's how the world works. Perhaps the error is a linguistic one, as the tournament was tagged as "ladies" only, however the intent was for females only and that should be respected.
Trans people have their own spaces and could host their own tournaments or engage in other trans inclusionary events. This person towed the line for other women's events and was not against trans people participating. They were okay with trans people participating or at the very least willing to set aside their religion and their beliefs to co-exist with trans people in those spaces which, however bigoted anyone may think those beliefs are, is a huge deal. Society is formed of many compromises of ideals and if someone truly doesn't want trans people in certain spaces then them being tolerant of exactly that is huge win, is it not?
If they're okay with trans people in women's events they're involved with and actively working for then why is it an issue for them to exclude trans women from personally hosted female spaces? It seems like the tolerance has been dropped and now only acceptance is allowed. Trans women, women as they may be in current year, are not and will never be female. It is not hatred or bigotry to acknowledge that and it is not hatred or bigotry to exclude trans people from male or female recreational spaces.
This person IS a victim and it's disingenuous to pretend or portray otherwise because what she lost was a result of excluding trans people from a female only space, regardless of how well or how quickly she recovers.
As a side note: Hearing about the religious person in Aaron's life sucks, sorry you had to go through that. However my comment may be perceived I do think people of all walks of life should be shown kindness as the default, I just don't think every person has a right to be in every space.
Not every person has the right to be in every space, exactly, which is why the sponsors have a right not to want this person in their space. If you say this person is a victim for not being wanted in those sponsors spaces, then every person in existence is a victim, cause there will always be a space theyre not wanted in, no matter if their intentions are good or bad.
@@YoshuaMidas I'm glad you agree, meaning there should be no issue or backlash. Being excluded from something you are not a part of where the people there do not want you is much different from losing out on income due to your political or religious beliefs. One group of people was excluded from a gaming space that was meant exclusively for females, one person lost income over something that happened in a space unaffiliated with their work or sponsors because of identity politics. These things are not the same. One of these is vastly worse and sets a dangerous precedent of being forced to go along with things you disagree with in your PRIVATE life or face consequences at your job. That is to say nothing of setting that precedent that transwomen should be allowed into female spaces.
People are conflating exclusion from a privately hosted tournament with exclusion from the game and official events as a whole and using it as an excuse to deem the person in question as something she is not.
@@ZanryuGaming so the rule counts overall but should be bend depending on the consequences? I don't see that as right. Either it goes for everything or nothing. That includes Jobs.
Especially in the social field. A company or sponsor has all the rights to throw someone out that doesn't represent what they stand for.
It is not like it's the people's reaction that lead to this. It's the creators action.
@@ZanryuGamingIf a person, without the permission of the companies they are working with, uses religion as the sole reason to exclude groups of people from using those companies' services, especially when those companies are not religious themselves, that person is acting very irresponsibly with their power, and might need to be switched with someone who will actually respect the companies they work with.
@@ZanryuGamingAlso, another reason.
Simply ask yourself what if she said "No Mexicans", because she did not believe Mexican women were real women.
Same logic applies here.
Speaking of marbles and cancel culture, Jenna Marbles (19.7M Subs) hasn't returned since being cancelled 3 years ago.
I was raised catholic (not my choice), here is one bible verse that annihilates Christian fueled homophobia and transphobia. 'Whomever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever hates their brother or sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.' -1 John 4:20
This also disproves not bekng able to use "they" as a pronoun because the translation use it as such.
Of course she's from Florida 😂
I don't see the problem with not wanting a trans person in an all girls game....... I wouldn't want Usain Bolt to say he was a girl then go break every female track record
So you somehow think Usain would have a biological advantage at halo, riiiiight.

Did I read the thumbnail right? ._.
The way she went about this is completely wrong admittedly i agree with her on the idea of if its a girls only tournament then honestly i don't believe trans should be included especially because issues in the past with trans players competing in female tournaments and then getting extremely aggressive but still this shouldn't of had anything to do with a religion she should of thought of it from a logical standpoint not a religious one
Can someone explain to me how "No trans people allowed" is any different from "No men allowed"?
Just because a group is banned doesn't mean they aren't valued or loved. How is this bigotry if "No men" isn't considered sexist?
(I'm fishing for mature feedback)
“No men” is usually implemented to ensure safety and comfort for women. This instance of “no trans people” was an attack on their identity and legitimacy as women. Very different things
Good on you for reaching out for feedback, it’s always great to be able to learn 😊
@@AaronDukeYT Not everyone believes in modern gender theory, her event was female only and trans women don't fall under that category.
Do you think separating events based on sex is immoral or evil?
It's the same shit
@@kuppa391 this "not everyone believes in ..." argument is so senseless. Lets say I dont believe in birds; does that mean they dont exist now? If its okay to seperate events by sex is an entire diffrent topic, but trans people exist, which is proven, despite what you believe in. Believes are not a valid argument.
its the same situation with taller toast unfortunately, spooks got him banned from twitch for like a week and now he's going on his merry way, still streaming just as hateful and bigoted as ever just like nothing happened
I assume their reasoning is male gamers that transition may have an advantage in the event as most of the competitive gaming scene is males
Again just assumption
She wasn’t discriminating and this is where many get confused while I don’t agree when it comes to E Sports but saying biological females only isn’t saying trans people can’t exist it’s stating that the term trans is there for a reason so many people are trying to erase biological women that fought for equality and now they’re having to do so again when they are mentally stronger than any trans woman or biological male let alone what their bodies go through yes we should love everyone and let everyone be who they are but don’t get it twisted trans women can never be what natural women are
