How tall is amazing atheist

Although he also dated a transman for a few years, possibly indicating that it was specific instead of general sympathy for bullying victims. TJ dislikes vegetarianism and has devoted several videos to criticizing it. Contrary to his previous beliefs, by June 16, , he had become a vegetarian, in his own words, "to impress a girl". Ass: The Final Showdown," which features a helpful comparison chart of pros and cons, with such charming observations as tits being "hard to stare at without the girl noticing," while "you can take a picture [of her ass] and she won't be any the wiser.

TJ "believe[s] in equality between men and women legally and in all ways. Every opportunity a man has a woman should have. TJ instead claims to support egalitarianism. He has made numerous videos claiming much of modern society is biased against men, often via tenuous-at-best examples. Some versions of feminism he doesn't have a problem with. As an example of his respect and care for his fellow humans, in his pompous and self-indulgent e-book with a self-aware title Scumbag: Musings of a Subhuman , TJ writes: [64].

Rape isn't fatal. So imagine my indignation when I saw a chatroom called "Rape Survivors. Someone fucked you when you didn't want to be fucked and you're amazed that you survived? Unless he used a chainsaw instead of his dick, what's the big deal? The word survivor applies to people who are alive after being stabbed 73 times with an ice pick or mauled by rabid wolverines, not to a woman who gets dick when she doesn't want it. Just because you got raped, you have to rape the English language?

You vindictive bitch! Also, don't you ever get tired of being the victim? How many failed relationships are you going to blame on a single violation of your personal space? In his video "Rape, Feminism, and the Amazing Atheist", TJ attempts to explain his rationale behind writing this: [65]. This was a piece designed to motivate rape victims to not allow their victimhood to oppress them - to encourage them not to dwell on past events and move on with their lives. Why is it worded so offensively?

Because when I wrote it I was a stupid twenty-two-year-old who had at this point only ever socialized with other people on online message boards, where this was simply how we talked. Not to mention it's supposed to be a humorous piece, in the same vein of shock humor as Bill Maher's party costume.

In retrospect, I too find the piece overly callous and I would not write it today. But I did write it, and I don't apologize for it. It was how I felt at the time, and I really don't think the message of moving on from trauma is a negative one. I've been told by several rape victims that this piece actually motivated them to move on with their lives. I have yet to be told by one victim that it increased their trauma. In the following section, TJ recalls a female acquaintance who rejected and mocked a guy for his small penis size.

The anecdote culminates in TJ's hilarious punchline: [66]. In February , in a thread on the MensRights subreddit about a distasteful username on a feminist board, he made a "joke" about how he wanted to violently rape one of its users.

When he was informed the person in question was an actual rape victim and called out by the said person for his abusive language and lack of respect for people with post-traumatic stress disorder , he complained about the very concept of trigger warnings.

He posted further graphic descriptions of how he would rape her again in a deliberate attempt to make her relive her trauma.

Although the subject matter of his earlier videos centered almost entirely around atheism and anti-theism, he rarely deals with those topics today.

Instead, most of his current videos are either social commentary or purely comedic in nature. His style is loud, boisterous, and unapologetically offensive.

However, he claims that these are his honest opinions. The Amazing Atheist never has even the slightest qualm about speaking his mind, despite sounding offensive to various targets. That hasn't stopped him from making quite a few enemies, especially because of his strident anti-radical-feminism.

In recent years, he has befriended author and activist Howard Bloom, and has given Bloom the floor on several topics.
