Doritos - why do the very worst keep rising to the top?

I looked up this person and some commenters on social media appear to be focusing on the fact that Hudson might have been an teenage "edgelord" as they posted the problematic tweets when they were 15 (I didn't have to dig deep to find out they posted all sorts of disturbing things like sucking their dad's dick and their mom's vagina makes them hard), though there seems to be a debate on whether Doritos no longer associating with Hudson can be considered belated punishment because posting such provocative thoughts was 9 years ago.

Hudson apparently issued an apology.

I agree with other commenters wondering why Doritos HR did not do due diligence, and if I were Hudson I would not be surprised that Doritos would immediately sever ties after those tweets were discovered.

Quite!
👏👏

It makes trans people look very bad. There must be many decent trans people out there doing everything they can to avoid being lumped in with this lunacy. They have enough on their plates without having to deal with this too.

Indeed. The genuinely dysphoric individuals who just want to quietly get on with their lives, living in a way that a helps them to come to terms with their bodily discomfort, will be tarred with the same brush as these appalling perverts.

When the backlash comes (and it will) they will be the ones who suffer - the militants and the paraphiliacs will just slink quietly back under their stones and pretend that nothing has happened.

That's definitely the worst part.

It makes transpeople look bad.

Raping children is ok, but we don't want to make transpeople look bad . . .

Any movement which allows people to behave badly without censure or scrutiny will attract the worst people in society.

Exactly. The cognitive dissonance and failure to acknowledge this in people who consider themselves reasonable and progressive is immense. And less powerful people, like women and LGB people, will suffer more.

Sometimes it's hard not to feel like a monkey in the KP Nut factory.

Any movement which allows people to behave badly without censure or scrutiny will attract the worst people in society. It's not trans people being 'nuts,' it's 'nuts' realising that transactivism is a bottomless get out of jail free card.

It would be a lot harder not to pick a nut.

Err... "nutpicking" 😮😂

One of our resident TRAs accused us of "nutpicking" the other day (a flawed argument where the person picks one or two "crazy" people from a cohort to discredit that entire cohort). On the one hand I agree it's not the best type of argument if you can only come up with one or two crazies... but in woo woo land there are VERY ripe pickings!

Aside from all the sick, predatory stuff, have you noticed just how many transactivist or antifa types who proclaim themselves proud Marxists or revolutionary anarchists seem very willing to take money from global capitalist corporations? Is there anything that isn't just cosplay to them?

Here's the logic:

I really fail to see the logic behind Rolling Stone claiming that the Right are trying to make transw look bad. It's completely absurd, these people putting themselves in public and posting their sick and deranged desires are simply showing how bad they are, it needs no external input.

I feel sorry for the transw who go about their lives normally and uneventfully, they get the back wash from people who assume that they are all alike.

I imagine that they are trolling women as women can't complain or even question the situation - the marketing guys think this is funny

I think this is true. To paraphrase Germaine Greer - Most women do not realise how much men hate them.

Holy mother of God

What I can't see is what the attraction of this individual as a spokeseater for Doritos was in the first place.

It feels never ending doesn't it?

This is why Trump will be the next US President IMO (hope I’m wrong on that but not at all confident I will be). If the very central/loosely liberal views you have are constantly being framed as prejudiced and right-wing extremist then how can you vote for a left-wing party? Not only that but that party will actually crow and gloat about not wanting you as a voter, to work for them, be part of public services etc etc. God knows I can’t stand Trump but I can’t write off everyone who votes for him as an idiot. From what I see voting for Biden is an equally dumb move and people have eyes and ears and can work out for themselves where people like them aren’t wanted.

The number of Labour voters here who have expressed difficulty voting for Labour at the next election shows that they are being pushed away from their traditional political allegiance. I doubt many if any will vote Tory but they are being pushed in the direction of the right if they want a middle of the road centre ground.

In my view one consequence of this is going to be an increase in importance to the Labour leaderships of the younger, non-working class, activist-minded supporters. They're going to want things from a Labour government in return for their support.

Apparently yes…

Yep.

In the past, in my public sector job, if we were interviewing someone we would check them out on SM. We have now been told that we can’t do that anymore because of privacy etc etc. it wasn’t clear but did seem very odd advice.

Vile. Even if they want to promote one of these males, is it really that difficult to find one that isn't a pervert?
