I want to apologize for the defensive thread (now deleted) I posted a couple days ago in which I complained that "transbian ancom anime Twitter hates me" and defended reclaiming slurs in a non sequitur to what I was actually being criticized for.

Here's my deal: there are about 200-300 accounts on here that come out of the woodwork every two months to tell me to delete my channel, encourage others to defund my Patreon, tweet contextless screencaps to incite outrage against me, and prophesy my imminent turn to fascism.

Every time this starts up again it just upsets the hell out of me. I really really wish these people would just unfollow me and leave me the fuck alone. I'm doing my best to just mute/block/practice not caring about these people. But it's hard.

However, alongside this shit are some genuine and heartfelt criticisms of me from people whose primary motive is not just to tear me down, and I should not lump these people in with the other group. I'm sorry I did that.

I want to hear out these criticisms and provide an earnest response. I'm told that my responding to individual critics is tantamount to inciting others to harass them (and maybe it is, this is a shit site), so I'll summarize the main points myself.

(Just to get everyone caught up here, I'm being criticized for proposing to make a video titled "Are Traps Gay?")

2: "Calling the video 'Are Traps Gay' is a terrible way to frame this topic because it begins with the transphobic framework" That's exactly the point. Here's how my persuasive style works: you begin by emulating the bigot/normie/shitlord style—
