F1nnster sentenced to 15 months community service and a fine of 50% of Twitch donations in the relevant period, by the SCOTTIES (Supreme Court of the Trans-Intersex-Enby Soviet), on the charge of perpetuating harmful stereotypes about trans women for monetary gain.

"I had it coming by all means. Coming out as genderfluid has not absolved me of responsibility for my actions, although it has for the better changed the way I materially relate to the world and my own past, and likewise how the world relates to me and my past in turn.", F1nnster was quoted as saying in a highly publicized press conference after the hearing.

They continued, "In hindsight I deeply regret all my actions and clearly see the harm that I personally caused in my selfish pursuit of fame and money under the inhuman ideology of liberal capitalism. I will graciously and dutifully accept the reparations I must pay to make up for everything I did and ensure that I will not commit any act so despicable or heinous ever again. I understand that some people might never forgive me, and they are in their right to never forgive me just as I am in my right to ask for dignity even as a convicted criminal. Long live the TIES and long live the Revolution."

When reached out for comment, Chief Justice Alicia Athena McRlwain said, "Yeah, F1nnster made a pretty good apology all things considered. Poor kid getting into this mess so young! But justice is justice, F1nnster harmed real people and has to fully account for that somehow. The community service isn't even that hard, honestly, but I'm still glad that F1nnster is taking it so well. We've definitely seen worse reactions from other convicts."

call me a horrible person but I thought him "secretly" being on HRT would be funny to watch as he gave himself dysphoria for the money. but no apparently only we have to suffer from it

I never gave any thought to him other than thinking it was nice he helped normalize gender non-conforming behaviour. A bit disappointing to hear he leaned into this kind of thing.

Fair point. I try to be gracious and attribute it to ignorance instead of malice. I don't know much about him but I'd dare say he's insulated from the dangers that many of us face due to fame and fortune (relative). As I understand it his chat has also egged him on to do various things, not that it's an excuse, but I think the fame may have made him a bit more impressionable. But at the end of the day, when you've been bimbofied ignorance comes with the territory

Hopefully some day he'll be able to recognize it and reconcile it. I'm just glad that he can't be a useful idiot for nefarious persons now.

I get it, but I still like him

im going to stay out of this struggle session because i understand theres parasociality involved here and im not being rational. plus ive long moved beyond even being a passive fan of his.

ashley is wonderful though and will die on that hill

buuut.. it was heartwarming to see comments (in youtube comment section of all places) of all the transwomen and men and enbies that discovered themselves thanks to Finn's channel. as well as many formerly straight people that realized they are bi or pan (myself included but more like thought i was gay af).

lots of fuckery for $ and clicks. capitalism sucks.

As a cisgender straight(-ish) male, I feel the need to inject my opinion into this discussion.

It's an incredibly mild complaint compared to how harmful this behaviour was but I am also annoyed by how F1nnster hid taking HRT. Trans people don't need to be out but their whole channel was about being a cis man on T who was just that girly which obviously was a lie. I tried to shake some sense into countless boymoders who were dooming because they were "manlier than a cis guy" and would not believe she was lying about not taking HRT.

At least this video will hopefully put an end to all the cope from insecure trans girls beating themselves down using him as a cudgel but probably not.

Idk I'm genderfluid and bisexual too so looking like F1nn5ter is kinda goals for me, I get why people don't like them but I do. I think their relationship with Icky is also really cute.
