      Don’t forget ladyballers, which was originally supposed to be a basically ‘opinionated’ documentar, where just some of the gang try to sign up for an actual, realworld basketball league, as women.

      This original concept of the movie was scrapped after they were told they would all have to actually start on HRT and progress to the point that their metabolic panels came back showing they were now within whatever parameters that local/minor league used as their definition of ‘sufficiently transitioned’, and none of the crew/actors would do it.

      So, they made it into a fucking terrible ‘comedy’ movie instead.

      Shapiro is on camera admitting this, laughing the whole time, utterly missing the fact that… that this happened basically destroys 99% of the ‘facts and logic’ he uses to generate his rhetoric regarding trans folks.

          They lost Candace, they lost… female Ben Shapiro Gen Z fake streamer studio set but doesn’t actually have live chatters… I forget her name… they lost Crowder even further back, though in hindsight that was actually them dodging a bullet…

          But girl Shapiro, she was supposed to be Snow White in their version of Snow White.

          Looks like that is probably never happening.

          Also the main like co-founder guy along with Shapiro, Jeremy Boring, I think?

          Yeah he was the CEO.

          He’s not anymore, he’s out, because he is fucking terrible with money and technology, they’re gonna have to keep downsizing their operations to dig themselves out of the hole they’re in…

          But, even that will be difficult, as the same thing that happens to all right wing talking heads is now happening to them:

          They spend 5 years or a decade or whatever ratcheting up extremism, and then their audience exceeds them in extremism, gets pissed at them for not being extreme enough, and then they waffle around and get left behind, their audience now moving to … new blood, some new, even more insane talking head.
