True. But being a victim of harm doesn't absolve any of us from also taking responsibility for harms we cause to others.
Alex has a youtube chanel and has the right to have that, you going to blame every single person on youtube for causing some sort of harm to others, that's absurd.
A public figure with big influence should not be immune from scrutiny. Agree an argument can be made the photos shouldn't have been used.
Scrutiny isn't what's happening here tho. It's 'point at the weirdo'. There is no excuse for publishing a photo of a topless woman without her consent and I can't believe this is even an argument.
Apart from whether photos should have been used, is it your position that the YouTuber shouldn't have been discussed in the article at all?
I don't think it's fair to single out one person, no. Talk about trans contagion, sure, but Alex is far from the only person doing what Alex does.
True; would have been better (IMHO) to have mentioned other YouTube celebs as well.
Authors, actors, celebrities are often subject to public opinion/media coverage (setting aside issue of the photos) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Trans-Mission-My-Quest-Beard/dp/1526360683 …
Can we discuss that Alex's book is the "#1 bestseller in homosexuality"? #ironypic.twitter.com/cEWR6BcIhN
It's not our fault. Well, those of us who are sane and overwhelmed by just how far the embed goes.
