I've been telling my dad about some of this stuff lately. He's a total normie who didn't know anything about any of this before. It was really gratifying to see that normal people are so reasonable and common-sense about this stuff once they're made aware of it. Just the other day he mentioned to me that he'd seen an article online about how TRAs were going after Gina Carano from The Mandalorian, and how it stuck him as fuckin' creepy how they were demanding not only that she be fired, but that her character be killed off.

On the flipside, when my penpal mentioned JRK I sent her a link to my favorite detran youtuber who started me down this road, and I haven't heard from my penpal again since. So y'know, mixed bag.

That's so awesome he's on board, it sounds like! Wow, I do not follow the Mandalorian at all but that sounds disturbing. I might take a look.

Oof, that's rough. Yeah, the JRK stuff is really hot-button and it steams me when I hear people I know just blanket-dismiss her. E.g. "Not nice" and "isn't even in the community" and "why'd she bother writing an entire manifesto about it no one asked for that". Like, dude, she is using her voice, and you didn't even read what she wrote!!
