I’ve debated sharing this many times over the last 8 months but i believe the time is now. I’m sure you’re all familiar with skizz refusing to say trans rights because the topic is “polarizing” and i’m here to tell you this isn’t the first time he has expressed this sentiment
I really appreciate this response and your support over the years. I had assumed your intention was at least partially to be conscious of the guest's comfort though i wish it was worded better at the time. I hope you have a great rest of your day <3
Back in december of last year, imp and skizz held a discord preshow for their podcast before they were going to film the episode featuring cleo. they promoted us to suggest things to ask her and someone suggested asking about her discovering they wanted to use she/they prns
meanwhile on a different skizz vod (the repo one with lizzie, gem, and grian) there are many comments left up from people being homophobic and overall very nasty to gem and lizzie in that stream.
other members of the discord expressed being hurt by skizz brushing the topic off so quickly and as you can imagine neither imp nor skizz spoke about it in the discord afterwards.
fast forward to the most recent incident of skizz refusing to say trans rights due to the topic being too “political” or later rephrasing to too “polarizing” and trans fans feeling rightfully hurt by this
