LGBT activists have been vocal about intersex issues for several decades, because establishing the legal right to bodily autonomy for intersex persons is basically inseparable from establishing the right of trans persons to that same legal autonomy over their own bodies. many intersex persons prefer not to be grouped together with LGBT causes; however, the vast majority of LGBT activists would agree that performing “corrective” surgery on intersex infants - to force them to adhere to a largely fictional gender binary - is pretty fucking evil.

There’s a lot of bullshit around the gender binary and the “basic biology” arguement that breaks down the second you look in any college-level textbook. The amount of people born intersex clocks in at 1.7% of the world’s population and people try to pretend it doesn’t exist because of that low percentage. However, following that logic, they must also believe that people born with naturally red hair, 2% of the world’s population, must also be fictitious. Except that clearly isn’t the case. One hundred and thirty-two MILLION people are born intersex and the vast majority of them have their bodily autonomy ripped away. That shit has to stop.

The party is investigating some suspicious happenings on their home island:

DM (to the Druid): Roll Survival to check for footprints or any other evidence.

Druid: uh… seven?

DM: There’s a gouge in the mud. It’s about 3 feet long. You think it might be a footprint?

Druid: oh shit you guys… it’s CLOWNS!

Rogue: Or maybe mimes!

Wizard: That would explain why the woods are so quiet!

Later…:

DM: There’s a half-elf in the room reading from a thick book.

Druid: I ask if he’s a mime.

DM: … They look at you and say “A what?”

Rogue: Well they’re not a very good mime.

Wizard: I hand him an invisible rope.

isnt this the plot of the supernatural finale?

Watched an episode that show where the guy interviews celebrities while giving them increasingly spicy hot wings and giving them increasingly hostile interview questions and learned that Gordon Ramsay is a total right-wing misogynistic scumbag and also learned that he’s a Huge wimp and can dish it out but really really can’t take it

The hotter the wings got, the shittier stuff he started saying. Like during the mild wings, he was just talking about his chef training, and when the wings got hotter he started complaining about snowflakes and made fun of the Woody Allen/Mia Farrow thing.

He also just couldn’t handle the hot wings. The interviewer guy was eating the same wings as him but was fine but Gordon Ramsay was having a meltdown over them and got so frustrated about it that he threw one of the wings.

He also got read bad reviews about his restaurants during the hotter wings and went on a rant about how much he hates Guy Fieri after the interviewer read a bad review from Guy Fieri.

hi so the ONLY part of this post that is actually factual and not a half-truth or a bold faced lie is the part about Gordon Ramsay being unable to take spice. Go and watch it yourself and make your own judgements of him instead of taking tumblr posts at face value BUT *in addition* to that here’s a basic rundown of what actually happens.

Video starts out with Ramsay doing his ‘bit’ where he critiques the hot wings in a scathing manner. That’s just his brand, and it’s taken in good faith as a joke.

The interviewer then imitates a yelp reviewer as a segue into talking about the insane prices at some of these celebrity chef restaurants, and Ramsay goes on to criticise the chefs for trying too hard to bring up the price of a standard burger at the expense of the quality of the dish (e.g by putting gold leaf in burgers, the specific example he uses, something that adds nothing to the dish but the price).

Then Ramsay talks about rent and labour cost – how the more successful a chef is, the higher the rent for any venue is. This is in response to a question about whether there are hidden costs for the owners of restaurants that diners don’t know about, so he isn’t even complaining about this but rather is highlighting something that the average viewer may not know.

Ramsay makes reference to ‘millenial snowflakes’ in a lighthearted manner after talking about the frightening experience of training under an esteemed french chef who was borderline abusive. He actually calls them ‘beautiful millennials and snowflakes’ in a sort of teasing way while effectively giving these people a *pep talk*, encouraging them and conveying the message that you can thrive through adversity, as sometimes it makes you stronger. 

He first starts to feel the heat at around the 12 minute mark. Then, when the interview broaches the topic of scathing reviews, Ramsay jumps right in with his own example of an ‘amazing’ food critic who once described one of his dishes as looking like ‘toxic scum on a stagnant pool’. The mood here is very much still lighthearted and he reflects on it not with anger but with a sort of bemusement, indicating that he ‘took it on the chin’.

So then, right, the interviewer reads the Guy Fieri quote – and Ramsay begins immediately with ‘I know Guy’ which establishes that they are, at the very least, acquaintances and not intangible adversaries to one another, and so it’s unlikely that he’d want to show actual vitriol to him. All he says. ALL Gordon Ramsey says about Guy Fieri is literally a throwaway, relatively playful insult about him putting ‘Donkey Sauce’ on everything, which following the acknowledgment that they personally know each other does seem to imply that this is meant in playful teasing – and NOT, as OP suggests, a full on ‘rant’ about how he ‘hates’ Guy Fieri. Ramsay then says that he ‘takes it on the chin’ again and tells Guy to shut the fuck up, again, in a fairly lighthearted manner, before moving on. That is the entire segment about Guy Fieri, and it’s under 10 seconds. 

After that, Ramsay can’t handle any more and there’s a big production made about him crashing and burning. And then they cook. There’s nothing about Woody Allen (he actually references Mo Farah, a runner, not Mia Farrow), there’s no indication that he’s right-wing (aside from being rich I guess, but he really doesn’t get political like, at all). The spiciest thing in there besides the wings was when they talked about how Ramsay investigated illicit shark fin trades in Costa Rico.

I don’t know this man personally. I’m not invested in defending him against any legitimate claims of these sort. Maybe Gordon Ramsay IS right wing and misogynistic and we don’t know it, that isn’t the point. OP has very purposefully gone out to deceive readers by making shit up with the assumption that you won’t watch the video. I don’t care if this was a social experiment or some kind of elaborate joke or a ploy for notes of people debunking it. Stop spreading malicious lies – not for Gordon Ramsay’s sake, he doesn’t give a shit what you do, he’s a millionaire – please stop for the sake of people who already find it so difficult to understand what’s real and what’s fake/alternative information meant to gaslight them. It’s cruel and unfunny and you should absolutely know better. There are better ways to lampoon Tumblr’s reading comprehension, if that is what’s going on here, than just feeding into the problem directly. 

But again, watch it for yourself and make your own judgements. Don’t take my word for it, or indeed any random person’s word on any supposed fact. We all have to be willing to do our own research, as I did when I read the post, and the great thing is it’s all available at our fingertips.
