This is a rant, just fair warning.
I feel like turkey tom is a fucking asshole of a youtuber. Any time he covers someone he just HAS to put certain things in a negative fucking light. And with how popular his channel is, I feel as though it's harmful.
He talks ill of transgender people, or puts anything related to trans people in a negative light (For example, the one video about a person named Poppy - I couldn't even get through the video - the introduction of it was that Poppy is transgender, a furry, and has "MPD", and then asks if you wanted a person like that to be your therapist. Like what the fuck?). He talks ill of furries (because having anthropomorphic animals as characters is such a bad thing right? and not just being a mascot for yourself or a story or anything? Like how sports teams have mascots..) He talks ill of any mental disorder out there and just stigmatises it. In the video about Poppy he says that OSDD is just "a mild reform of having multiple personalities-referred to as being 'plural'. The thing is being plural isn't recognised as being a real thing, at least not yet." (direct quote). He's spreading so much false bullshit. After hearing that part I was done with the video but this is not the first video I have heard. It's every single fucking one. I often let youtube just autoplay, and even asking youtube to not recommend that channel doesn't help, as his videos still pop up.
But the issue is he's spreading this hatred and false information to so many fucking people. He has (as of right now) 1.22 million followers. He's not using his platform and audience to do any god damn good. It's just fucking making fun of people. Not even informing or educating. And even if he directly isn't saying things like 'fuck trans people', because he correlates so much shit negatively, the audience might just connect it. The top comments on his videos are usually just full of hateful rhetoric.
When you click on newer comments theres good comments like how they wouldnt trust turkey tom on any mental health topic or like why does he have to be so hateful towards these things - but I feel like these comments get drown out by all the hateful ones.
He spreads misinformation. He spreads hatred. He reels people in with a documentary style video, but seeps the cracks with garbage. Like those videos of people using ramen to fix things. But even then its so obvious.
In conclusion, just. Fuck Turkey Tom. I genuinely dislike him as a youtuber.
Ok so um I guess I just went down the Wendigoon iceberg and yeah I’m gonna stop watching that dudes videos
Like I thought he was just some Gen Z kid making pretty normal youtube videos, i even thought he might be vaguely progressive
Dude legit created Boogaloo Boys big meme page
Which like…thats why he wears the fucking Hawaiian shirts…
He’s disowned it now bc “everyone from antifa members to fascists joined the movement”
so like he is the sort of dumbass who thinks antifa is an organization with members
also he accused some indigenous people who criticized his Wendigoon name of racism
Like ultimately he’s just some right libertarian dude from Tennessee which isnt exactly shocking but idk its weird when a dude is like that and also this into conspiracies
bc its a hop skip and a jump from “FBI is planning school shootings to try and force gun regulation” to “the LGBT movement is a plot to endanger our children with groomers” to “Great Replacement real”
I just wanted some fucking youtube shit to listen to in the background…
a reminder from yours truly:
JKR is a terf
scott Cawthon donated to republicans, including trump, while claiming to love his trans fans
yandere dev/exaxphanon groomed a teenage fan
I promise you there is better media out there than Harry Potter, fnaf, and yandere simulator. if you didn’t know, you didn’t know, and that’s okay.
but they are not worth your time and attention, much less your money. Cawthon and JKR still make money off their franchises. please stop supporting them.
Since someone asked for a wallpaper version of benjamin
Was it just me, or did Cassian and Mon Mothma have... good chemistry?
what the fuck do you mean he’s on the internet again
Haha what the fuck do you mean that allegedly the Philippine government's no longer recognizing medicated ADHD people as a "Person with Disability" and are now barring them from getting disability cards what the fuck
English translation under the image
Original Tweet: Apparently medicated people with ADHD are allegedly no longer allowed to get PWD (Persons with Disability) cards especially since they can cope. Is it really like that it's like if you said "you don't really have diabetes because you have insulin" Reddit Screenshot: i went to the pdao (Persons with Disability Affairs Office) then i gave them my medical certificate. then the staff asked if i can cope [with my ADHD]. i wasn't able to answer quickly then they said that medicated people with adhd who can cope weren't entitled to pwd cards. that's apparently the new rule when applying for pwd cards. i wasn't able to answer anything because what else could i do, right. after that they said to still ask the doctor, it's a good thing the doctor allowed it and the staff even told me that "you're not really entitled to it but we'll allow it for now." i said thank you even passive-aggressively hahahah but in my opinion even if you're medicated, you should still be entitled to get a card. because adhd medication still has a shortage. and symptoms of depression would start manifesting when you don't have medication. it's like they're downplaying the hardships of people with adhd
Like this is just straight up appalling. and to have the GOVERNMENT [allegedly] be the ones doing this kind of shit is disgusting. They're basically saying that if you have medication, that means you don't have the condition anymore which is absurd. It also makes me fear that a lot of people with ADHD who may want to at least try if they could perform better with medication would refuse to take them specifically because they might lose their government benefits. This is disgusting.
A lawyer's advice regarding this issue:
Please keep this in mind and don't let them trample on your rights!
Is someone gonna take one for the team and leak Scott Cawthons political donations again
I bet Scott Cawthon is real happy now that his main audience is under threat.
Queer fans of the series who continued/will continue to give him money better not be complaining about how things went over in the USA. You obviously know where your principles stand.
