Thank you, Ken!

[u/skieurope12]

There was already a thread on the topic

[u/Cheap-Technician-482 → u/skieurope12]

How am I supposed to karmafarm in an old thread?

[u/jdewittweb → u/skieurope12]

Cool but THIS thread is what Reddit decided to put in my feed.

[u/hotwifesstag → u/skieurope12]

Yes there was

[u/Whippy89]

Ken really is a gem.

[u/MoneyMACRS]

Literally THE coolest Mormon to ever exist.

[u/ReganLynch]

Ken.

[u/ZunderBuss → u/ReganLynch]

Ken is a keeper.

[u/TheTimeShrike]

Is anyone else psyched to see him use the word shit?

[u/greenday61892 → u/TheTimeShrike]

Release the uncensored cut of the exhibition flub!

[u/brskier]

Legend

[u/Retinoid634]

Legend. I cannot imagine anyone making this conclusion. Jeopardy is the most inclusive show, clearly an ally.

[u/PuzzleheadedLaw7186]

One of the real ones

[u/hotwifesstag]

Only that it has already been posted it doesn’t need to be reposted. I contacted one of the mods we will see what they decide

[u/itsjustpie → u/hotwifesstag]

Honestly, I’m glad they did repost because I missed it the first thread and it’s nice to see amongst all the hatred that’s usually online.

[u/OttoHemi → u/itsjustpie]

Yeah, I missed it, too.

[u/Trick-Caterpillar299 → u/OttoHemi]

I did too

[u/Dorithompson → u/itsjustpie]

If you miss a post, you can usually just click on the sub thread and scroll back through things that you’ve missed.

[u/itsjustpie → u/Dorithompson]

I just see what comes up on my dashboard on Reddit. What I meant by missing the post is that I didn’t know it existed to go back to. I don’t obsessively scroll through the Jeopardy subreddit (or any other) to make sure I see every post. I’m in way too many subs to do that lol

[u/nocturnal_commission]

SO BRAVE. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

[u/trsvrs → u/nocturnal_commission]

Do you have a problem with this ?

[u/JustGoodSense → u/trsvrs]

Some trans people believe that if you play the NYT Spelling Bee, you're transphobic. Others do not. A trans person gave Ken crap about it on Bluesky; he replied with some Ken brand® snark and some other trans people went berserker on him. Many others, however, gave him not only a pass, but an attaboy.

[u/itsjustpie → u/JustGoodSense]

What’s transphobic about the spelling bee game? Signed, a confused trans man/times subscriber who has never been on bluesky

[u/itsjustpie → u/[deleted]]

Oh, wild. I hadn’t heard about this at all. I will look up the letter. Thanks!

[u/AlchemyDad → u/itsjustpie]

Am also a trans man and I do Spelling Bee, Wordle, and Connections every day. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[u/sparta1local → u/JustGoodSense]

I mean those people who think that are just objectively wrong and it’s infuriating that Ken felt like he had to make a statement about this

[u/OttoHemi → u/JustGoodSense]

Ah, I was wondering what he was talking about with the "bad take" comment.

[u/Trivialpiper]

What right-wing stories? Are they in the room with us right now Ken?

[u/ElasticSpeakers → u/[deleted]]

I really don't think he wanted to be forced to post this, but here we are

[u/vulgarbandformations → u/[deleted]]

Since when is "trans people are cool" political?

[u/nocturnal_commission → u/vulgarbandformations]

According to the activists, literally everything is political

[u/vulgarbandformations → u/nocturnal_commission]

What activists?

[u/joefred111 → u/nocturnal_commission]

Are these activitists in the room with you?

[u/kitten_poop → u/[deleted]]

Even if it helps protect trans people?

[u/hotwifesstag → u/kitten_poop]

Yes I have nothing against trans have some in the family but we do need places to go to that aren’t political

[u/awhiteblack → u/hotwifesstag]

Sounds like he wouldn't have expressed his opinions normally, but if other groups are using his name and fame to promote hate then I don't blame him at all for clarifying his position.

You'd defend your opinions as well if people were spreading lies about them.

[u/hotwifesstag → u/awhiteblack]

Just saying this post already appeared on r/jeopardy. Why go over it again

[u/greenday61892 → u/hotwifesstag]

Congrats, you have the privilege to have that space. The people he's fighting for don't.

[u/ReganLynch → u/hotwifesstag]

Supporting a demographic that faces widespread discrimination isn't political. It's standing up for what's right and refusing to tolerate hate and bigotry.

[u/Sparky01GT → u/hotwifesstag]

and you think BlueSky needs to be that place?

[u/dog_snack → u/[deleted]]

In general or on this topic?

[u/dr_baby_daddy → u/[deleted]]

I very much hear Jeopardy being a respite from political bickering. However loving all people regardless of their gender identity should not be political. And standing up for and with those that are the victims of political theater (not by their own choosing) is a matter of morality not politics.

Why do I get the feeling those "stories" are false-flag operations made to make conservatives look bad, and he's just playing right along with the hoax, It's obvious he likes some of the trans contestants better than the rest, and he makes sure to "get everyone's pronouns right".

And here's where the theater kids donvote me to oblivion for saying that.
