MemoryAlpha editor refuses to change Adira's Gender to "Non-Binary"

That's a very heartless attitude to take about people losing their livelihoods. In some of those examples, people were misunderstood or were taking a stand against anti-white racism or were in a bad headspace at the time or were young and ignorant when the comments were made. No one deserves to lose their jobs for these reasons.
Forgiveness and change is possible. But first a person has to learn what they believed and said was wrong. Try to learn more and correct their understanding, and then apologise and make amends for the hurt and discrimination they caused others.

... If people identify with a certain sexual identity, fine but for those who don't they shouldn't have a sexual identity shoved down their throat. ...
If heterosexual people can kiss, hold hands, hug in public, or get married and tell the world - so should homosexual people.

If you think it is wrong for LGBT+ people, it must be wrong for Straight people too.
 
You live in reality, gay people and trans people exist and have just as much right to do whatever they want like you do.

This.

Friendly reminder for everybody here: Do not use slurs for any group of people. I have removed the slur from a quote. @Discofan was considerate enough to remove it from his own post, so we'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a regrettable mistake.

I cannot stress enough that there is zero tolerance for slurs on this site. Racist, sexist, transphobic or homophobic posts make me go:

You don't want that.

It doesn’t matter what people deserve. That’s just how the real world works. You do something fucked up or reflects badly on you, it can cost you your job because they don’t want to be associated with it and lose money. It doesn’t even have to be something bad or political. If you post of Facebook pictures of you smoking weed in a state where it is illegal, you can get fired. It’s all in the contract you sign when you get a job, you literally sign away your ability to fight it in most cases. That’s just how capitalism works.
 
If you want to get crazy proper about canon we have no confirmation that Kirk or any character is cisgender. That’s never been clearly stated, it’s just assumed.
Kirk was identified as a boy at birth and seemed to maintain that. Wouldn't he have transitioned and/or asked for a new name and pronoun otherwise?

Depression causes suicide not being an incel which I think is self inflicted. If you're not being an asshole to people you wouldn't be an incel
When taken literally, many people go through involuntary celibacy in puberty or beyond cause they don't find a good match (already taken, not their type, wrong orientation, etc.), so the word is not ideal to label a hate group.
 
The problem is that everyone hates Nazis and white supremacists, so they are easy to spot and ignore, but "assholes" are far more insidious, so they need to be called out by the people you call "incels" and "red pillers" (why are these terms okay, but SJW isn't?)

Because incels and red pillers are asswipes by default. People fighting for social justice are not default asswipes. They can be, but they are not by default. If you have not figured that out, or cannot comprehend that, see my first sentence.

In the Kelvin timeline only, we aren’t sure about the Prime yet. Sulu was gay in one timeline and straight in the other, this has also been confirmed in the Mirror universe as well. This could be why Prime Kirk looks different than Kelvin Kirk.

This is just a bit, but I am pointing out how you can just down a rabbit hole of adherence to canon to justify anything. I can bullshit like this all day.

It falls apart when you apply any logic to it because as a group it doesn’t make sense to anyone not in the group. They are depressed, but being in that group is the worst way to do deal with it. Depression affects the way you think and the way out is to not get caught in those thought patterns, either by therapy or medication. Incels are surrounding themselves with people telling them that their most depressing thoughts true and there is no way out of it. Eventually this reaches a breaking point and they either hurt themselves or hurt others. It’s a mental health problem in many ways.

There are women in the red pill groups too I find that odd

Sulu was conceived and born after the timeline split which is why he can be gay in one timeline and straight in another. The same is not true for Kirk.
 
Well, it can be any group of people that can go bad. Can get in with a group (usually on the internet's.. The bastion of assholes) and a person or person convinces others that there problems are other people's fault, be it male incels that get told to blame women, or feminist that hates guys and wants others to hate guys because she had a crappy boyfriend for example.
Any group can be radicalized and tought to hate

Humans are VERY good at not taking responsibility for there own actions and projecting it on to others, blaming them, then hating them, and it being "okay" because others they hang with hate too. Vicious circle.

It usually starts out as an actual problem then morphs to ugliness because a few people go on a power trip.

And we as outsiders don't help because we end up stereotyping those groups as bad or worse when a good chunk of the people are pretty much brainwashed and need help and love. Not hate.

As said before, why I hate the current trend of labeling and grouping everybody.
