Okay, I knew Dave Jones / EEVblog had some poor attitudes, but I didn't realize it was this bad. If you're following him, know that this is what you're condoning.https://twitter.com/MLE_Online/status/1269082992414097408 …

I'm pretty sure I had a chat with
@whitequark about Dave years ago and I was trying to play both sides / ended up not really speaking up. I'm sorry it took me this long. The guy's an asshole.Show this thread
This needs to go on the thread: Dave's opinion on women and STEM: they are biologically less suited/interested, and also women engineers only get on the news because they're women, not because their accomplishments.https://twitter.com/new299/status/1269199976548036609 …

Update: Dave DMed me and we had a chat. - He didn't know more about the Hungarian PM and deleted the tweet after being told - The trap joke in the EEVblog #1213 thumbnail was unintentional, he agreed to change it - He's doesn't follow the BLM news, that was unintentional too

However, the other issues still stand; he still refuses to change his "tranny" language, and stands by his takes on the forum, though he says he rejects outright transphobia, and asks trans people with a problem with "tranny" to email him to let him know.

Yeah I kinda checked out on him when I looked to see if anyone had ever asked him to stop using “tr***y” for transformers/transistors in his videos and found a forum thread where he told a (very respectful) trans EE student effectively “That’s just how the world is, suck it up.”

(Thread in question, his is last reply on second page; C/W transphobic slur obviously: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/why-is-the-word-_tr*nny_-so-popular-here/ … )

I chose to never watch him again when the word he keeps calling transformers that is also a slur against trans people started really hurting me to hear. I should have listened earlier as well. (obviously he refuses to change his speech patterns, it goes without saying)

he also seemingly hates cats and made a tweet years and years ago ‘jokingly’ veering towards animal abuse but fucked if i can remember the specifics, i just remember he doubled down with ‘is just joke, lighten up,’ when called on it

He also has a bunch of rock climbing videos. He might be looking at the rocks and thinking they are people so he climbs them, possibly.
