1. I was just going through several month (so-called) "anti-SJW" content on YouTube relating to transgender, non-binary and issues relating to those.

I feel like it is close to impossible and is very futile for anyone trying to explain things to them carefully using metaphors
2. and explaining similarities and comparisons to the carefully chosen metaphor to get that point or (often quite abstract) concept through and understood better.

Either they are intentionally obtuse and obnoxious or they legitimately are close to not capable understanding even
3. with the help of metaphors, lengthy explanations and endless patience.

It just really seems to be a common issue (in this case with the YouTube content creator "TheAtheistGamer" but in my experience with many others notably YouTube content creator "Suit Yourself").

I am
4. often not sure if they (regarding many but "Suit Yourself" definitely stands out) are incapable of understanding a concept, or if they just intentionally are trying not to understand or follow or listen or conceptualize.

It is almost as if they are best avoided and treated as
5. biased, obtuse, obnoxious and dogmatic (even if they blatantly are wrong, inaccurate, misunderstand, ignorant, have not come across most accurate and reasonable articles or papers with views they disagree with etc.) to the point that there just really is no value in trying to
6. interact with them at all.

[Maybe case by case and topic by topic there can be exceptions with many. Part of me almost regrettably hopes so.]
7. The concept of bias and dogma as presented in this video on statistics, politics and public opinion rings true with them as well.

Also definitely not saying others do not have biases or even I don't (even if I am not fully aware of them). I apologize
8. to anyone who might take issue that was not mentioned in every single tweet in this thread. Those people have bias and this addresses that. Hypocrisy and accusations of "others also do that" has nothing to do with anything.

Intentionally added and included for the benefit of
9. anyone taking issue with this thread.
