Last Man Standing finalist 2021/22
I bet his bosses are none too pleased
I get what you're saying, but unfortunately we live in a world in which people aren't that accepting. I think what the poster said was fair comment.What initiative? Dating a woman? Wow, who would ever expect a man to date a woman???
Oh be quiet. It is obviously a big deal, for good reasons, for a world famous celebrity and idol to young people to be dating a transgender person.What initiative? Dating a woman? Wow, who would ever expect a man to date a woman???

PSG owners are secretly gnashing their teeth

Yeah, a really odd post that. If he is dating a transgender person it's huge for the communityOh be quiet. It is obviously a big deal, for good reasons, for a world famous celebrity and idol to young people to be dating a transgender person.
Pretending like it isn't is just acting like you're above people.
It all looks very pretty, but I think it’s better to pay attention to what they do rather than what they say. They’re a sports washing organisation at the end of the day, PR is their bread and butter.Tweet

Tbh I doubt they care. In the same way Beckham can get paid millions for the adverts about the latest World Cup while also believing in women and gay rights.
People can quite easily put aside any personal beliefs when it comes to business.
And beyond that people are being a bit hypocritical. We have a thread in the general about that topic and only a few of us had little issues with it, the majority of people are open to it only when it doesn't concern them.Tweet

Sadly, the vultures in the media looking to exploit this will see to that.Lucky git!
Shouldn't be an issue of course but I suspect some fans will heckle him for it. Hopefully they won't though.
Quite a number of people, or it wouldn't be news. I've really never understood this attitude...just because one person doesn't find something newsworthy or of interest doesn't mean that the rest of the world also shouldn't.Who gives a shit who he is dating?
Most in Europe/"Western" world may not but it's a big thing if one of the most famous sports stars is dating a transgender person. Provides more acceptability for the community in countries that may not be so openWho gives a shit who he is dating?
Only the media.Who gives a shit who he is dating?
Nonsense. It's obviously not just the media, or the media wouldn't print it as it wouldn't get clicks. I think to pretend that we're now all in a place where we live in a society free of gender related issues is enormously unhelpful and will only prevent us from solving the problems that clearly remain.Only the media.
Normal humans being couldn't care less for another persons sexual preference, not even remotely.
He's not openly bisexual thoughI hope opposition fans don't use this to "insult" him. Would go a long way to normalize this if a world class player was openly bisexual.
No you don't. I was taking issue with their wording. Mbappé met a trans woman, they liked each other, they're dating. It's not a fecking initiative. It's not affirmative action ffsI get what you're saying, but unfortunately we live in a world in which people aren't that accepting. I think what the poster said was fair comment.
See above. Yes, it is a big deal, and yes, it could be very positive for a community that needs all the positivity, acceptance and normalization it can get. Which is why i take issue with people saying Mbappé took the initiative to date herOh be quiet. It is obviously a big deal, for good reasons, for a world famous celebrity and idol to young people to be dating a transgender person.
Pretending like it isn't is just acting like you're above people.
Rubbish, you're just trying to backtrack because people called you out and now you're hiding behind semantics. Your point was that a man dating a woman isn't news, which is true but also misses the broader point.He's not openly bisexual though

Eh, think what you wantRubbish, you're just trying to backtrack because people called you out and now you're hiding behind semantics. Your point was that a man dating a woman isn't news, which is true but also misses the broader point.
He's pretty famous. The personal life of celebrities does attract public interest.Who gives a shit who he is dating?
Initiative is the wrong word though. He likes another person. It is newsworthy as he's famous. But it's not like he's doing it for a social cause I.e an initiative. He's doing what he wants with his personal life.Rubbish, you're just trying to backtrack because people called you out and now you're hiding behind semantics.

Thank you. And anybody who doesn't understand why that wording is problematic maybe should inform themselves better before opening their mouth and waste airInitiative is the wrong word though. He likes another person. It is newsworthy as he's famous. But it's not like he's doing it for a social cause I.e an initiative. He's doing what he wants with his personal life.
I agree but assumed it was a case of the point being lost in translation.Initiative is the wrong word though. He likes another person. It is newsworthy as he's famous. But it's not like he's doing it for a social cause I.e an initiative. He's doing what he wants with his personal life.
Exactly.Initiative is the wrong word though. He likes another person. It is newsworthy as he's famous. But it's not like he's doing it for a social cause I.e an initiative. He's doing what he wants with his personal life.
Nonsense. It was quite clearly a lost in translation moment as 'taking an initiative' doesn't make linguistic sense. You just couldn't wait to leap on it to prove how much more enlightened you are than other mere mortals in the thread. And you got called on it.Thank you. And anybody who doesn't understand why that wording is problematic maybe should inform themselves better before opening their mouth and waste air
Unfortunately that's not true at all. A very large amount of people do care about your sexual preferences whether we are talking about gender, ethnicity or religion. That's largely why these things are in the media.Only the media.
Normal humans being couldn't care less for another persons sexual preference, not even remotely.
If the media care then people do. That’s how it worksOnly the media.

I saw this a couple of days ago on that horrific app TikTok. A lot of awful videos and posts about itLucky git!
Shouldn't be an issue of course but I suspect some fans will heckle him for it. Hopefully they won't though.
This is the internet. People can't divine intention, can only judge based on what is actually said. And saying sonething insensitive and problematic on such sensitive issues should be called out.Nonsense. It was quite clearly a lost in translation moment as 'taking an initiative' doesn't make linguistic sense.
Sorry, not sure what you mean by 'sensible' issues so I'm finding it tough to divine your intention.This is the internet. People can't divine intention, can only judge based on what is actually said. And saying sonething insensitive and problematic on such sensible issues should be called out.
You having poor understanding skills and thin skin is your problem. Now kindly piss off
Oh good. Thanks for pointing that out. EditedSorry, not sure what you mean by 'sensible' issues so I'm finding it tough to divine your intention.
I said if he doesn't shy away from it, than it is a great initiative (maybe my English is weak, but I meant precedent or doesn't feel embarassed to admit or staying behind the closet or being brave enough, whatever is the word).What initiative? Dating a woman? Wow, who would ever expect a man to date a woman???
This comment is very insultingI hope opposition fans don't use this to "insult" him. Would go a long way to normalize this if a world class player was openly bisexual.
