Typos, Grammatical[edit]

Within the "Views" section, "fiance" needs to be replaced with "finance", both times that it is used incorrectly.

Fixed it. However it would have been easier for you to fix it, rather than stating it here and waiting for someone else to see your comment. Unless you're not an auto-confirmed user. Daxri

Recent controversies[edit]

Subject's recent actions, including her outbursts on twitter, which were widely as transphobic, and her appearance on a right-wing podcast, where she spread misinformation about gender-affirming care, made disparaging comments about the unhoused and expressed views sympathetic towards the Kenosha shooter have attracted a lot of criticism, and even caused TYT employees to resign. This is a relevant controversy, which will need to be covered at one point. 46.97.170.32 (talk) 08:51, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As always, this must wait for WP:RS coverage. Especially given the number of quote excerpts with missing context floating around. Connor Behan (talk) 16:07, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure how appearing on a right wing podcast qualifies as a "quote excerpt with missing context". 46.97.170.32 (talk) 09:33, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct that podcast appearances and quote excerpts (taken either from Twitter, said podcast, or TYT) are different things. Connor Behan (talk) 21:48, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what further context is needed for her saying that if she had been in Kyle RIttenhouse's place, she would've done the same thing. That sentence alone speaks for itself. So is her claim that puberty blockers are not reversible and medical professionals are lying. These are things she said, in the context of giving her honest opinion to a pair of right wing influencers during a podcast. And then there are the statements made by concerned TYT employees in interviews. 46.97.170.32 (talk) 09:21, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say anyone took her Kyle Rittenhosue quotation out of context. I simply said some quotations have been taken out of context. If you start from the assumption that this statement must be wrong (because it came from someone who didn't applaud your comment) it will lead to a pointless guessing game. So I'll save you the trouble and link you to a discussion about a certain tweet which fits my description. This is good practice by the way. If you edited the article to replace "The Young Turks" with "a left wing news show", it would be reverted. Connor Behan (talk) 00:38, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course it would be, seeing as it's a straight up lie. TYT are neoliberal at best. But just out of curiosity, have you read the comments on that video you linked? 46.97.170.32 (talk) 10:13, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This controversy was only covered by unreliable sources. Even the article's only paragraph on that is sourced only by Twitter. SparklyNights 22:01, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

transphobia[edit]

it seems relevant that kasparian has bin involved in scandals becos she started spouting transphobia online, an then doubled down on it when challenged. that's something that should maybe be mentioned in her political view section or a separate controversies section nxjdk Naomi-chan33 (talk) 14:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kasparian was accused by some of transphobia, but if you look dispassionately at what she said, she was only saying what terms she did not want to be referred to as - "person with a uterus, birthing person, [and] person who menstruates". She did not actually attack transexuals. She has the right to say what she does or does not identify as. RJ4 (talk) 20:40, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think best if we avoid making these judgements ourselves. If there are reliable sources that documented some scandal or controversy, then it should be covered (neutrally), otherwise not. Samuelshraga (talk) 07:46, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
