The gender critical actor made a name for himself in British comedy series and Notting Hill but recently roles dried up after he publicly defended JK Rowling. Here, he tells the remarkable story of how his cancellation happened, and how he did not see it coming.

Read my extra thoughts here: www.andrewgoldheretics.com/ - hit like & sub, and let me know your thoughts about James' episode below!

@CMA418 13 дней назад

Left or Right, I don't think there is a single RU-vidr who surprises me with the content they produce. I repeatedly find myself thinking, "Oh yeah of course that's the topic, 'BOO the other side! And here's why!'". It's like you're all(hyperbole) afraid of being actually challenged. I want to you believe in you! I want to believe you have a conscience. We don't have to keep engaging in this kind of unhelpful rhetoric for the sake of views and subs. It is a choice. A choice whether or not to scrutinize our beliefs with as much rigor and passion as we do the beliefs of others. There is change without growth, but there is no growth without change, and change is often challenging.

@andrewgoldheretics 13 дней назад

@@CMA418 The truth is that we are restricted by the algorithm and audience capture to an extent. I love the topics I do, but I would throw in more 'weird' or different episodes if not for that. If you want unusual stuff, get my book The Psychology of Secrets. Chapter 9 is insane.

@CMA418 13 дней назад

@@andrewgoldheretics Are you all really restricted though? Strictly speaking, I’d argue you have a choice. It’s just a matter of whether or not it’s worth to you. At its core, I’d say it a choice between (a)integrity and humility and (b) money and influence. If I’m correct, and the situation is what you describe, then the most influential will end up the with the least integrity. If I’m being presumptuous, maybe that’s the best we are capable of.

@andrewgoldheretics 13 дней назад

@@CMA418 You're not 100% wrong, but I believe you are framing from the position of somebody not in this profession. What if we changed it to: a. sticking with what the core audience wants all the time, and making just enough revenue to get by. b. not being able to make a living from youtube or even being able to afford to make the videos. We can compromise a bit. But what you have to understand is that just one or two videos that perform badly (and trust me, going outside of what the core audience wants always kills your videos) can ruin your whole channel. Look how many channels have millions of subscribers but don't even get 5k-10k views per video. That's what happens if you take your eye off the ball for one moment. If I want to be 'out there', I write a book, as I did. I've started a substack where I can do more challenging work. RU-vid in its current format, doesn't allow for experimentation in that sense.

James Dreyfuss- what a completely refreshing change to hear from an actor, who happens to be gay, with a common sense approach to the insanity that is the Qwerty keyboard lot! What someone’s sexual orientation or preference in the bedroom has zero place in the workplace/ school and in the public square. It’s a toxic movement that has caused untold suffering for the gay community who don’t subscribe to this militant ideology and who, like the straight community, just want to live their lives, do their jobs and then in their own bedroom love whoever it is they want without it being ANYONE ELSES BUSINESS.

He uses a different word. Misogynist. They are the ones, he thinks, are driving this insane new fashionable trend. Idk, but with all going on in this insane world, I am willing to give it considerable thought. His theory, makes perfect sense, bc they way they are forcing everyone to celebrate, to bow to their pronouns of the day or week, is absolutely self destructive.

@stephenbrookes7268 13 дней назад

Most of us that were young adults in the 80s and 90s would have lived through and been aware of the sea of biases that the 70s had been. We just accepted people how they were. Nobody was pushing a personal agenda. I was politically active and we had true battles to win. In South Africa the society was racially segregated by law. The majority was suppressed. Why would anyone not be against this? I draw a parallel to this with the ideology that is being promoted now. We were opposed to anyone being oppressed. That is axiomatically correct. I believe it is wrong to oppress anyone but very risky to try to oppress a majority.

As a gay man, I have never understood the incorporation of 'TQ+' into the LGB grouping. (What does the '+' represent - anyone who wishes to jump on the bandwagon?) The recently changed 'rainbow flag' epotomises this quite meaningless widening of the unbrella to include those who are not attracted to the same sex but who have valid but totally unrelated issues to raise. Stonewall has changed fundamentally and I could not agree more with Mr Dreyfus, JK Rowling and others (as, I suspect, do most ordinary LGB individuals in society).

I am so tired of labels. Apparently I'm now a CIS female. No, im female and if someone wants a label on who they are fine, i dont. I think others rights have been pushed aside to pander to a few who choose to take offence when none is made. James is right, criminal men will take advantage and use the right to self identify for their own gain. I was attended a trans awareness course where we discussed being 'labelled' sir or madam, how you shouldn't presume someones gender based on how they look so we shouldn't use terms like sir or madam. Well i like being called madam, it makes me feel posh (little things make me happy) when i stated this, as in what about people who wish to be addressed as sir or madam, i was told its wrong, thats it, you cant use that lanaguage. If someone wishes to live their life how they choose, thats fine. What isn't fine is dictating how i life mine. Taking away my rights to identify as female and be identified. In the rush to please the TRA, we've pushed aside everyone else. The TRA are creating an air of hatred towards anyone who calls them out. peoples need to please have taken away peoples identity.

Including police who might only want to cite you for public drunkenness or indecent exposure, which you are 100% guilty of. Step 3: Get away with it because people and institutions are more afraid of the "optics" of being seen as ____phobic than they are of being accused of failing to do their jobs properly.
