“Wanna get rid of the trolls on your channel? Start using your pronouns. It’s working great so far.”
“kind of surprising how many trolls would actually care to watch a lame unboxing video. It’s almost like they’re waiting for me to do something or say something.”
“They just HAVE to say something about it thinking they’re proving a point when the point is they’re a hateful jerk and have no place in my life. I just ban and move on. No time for it.”
“The trash takes itself out. and I’m all for it. People have called me a terrible father because I have a trans son and pan child when I’m, like, ‘what about the parents who kick their kids out of the house at 15 when they come out? And I’M the asshole? Their loss. Ban and move on”
So…he says that he’s a good father because at least he’s not kicking his kids out of his house at 15. I don’t think that that’s the test.
“Marge, you’re not the world’s worst mother. What about that freezer lady in Georgia?”
Why not compare yourself to GOOD parents? COMPETENT parents? I mean, okay, John Riggs isn’t cooking and eating his children but that doesn’t make him a good parent.
The man seems to spend absolutely no time with his family. He’s constantly at some nerd convention. Doesn’t he have a job? How can he take all of this time off?
And then we need only look at what happened. His kids are complete disasters. It’s not their fault. It’s his. Who the fuck knows what’s going on in the Riggs household? He’s creepy as fuck around his kids. He’s creepy as fuck around everyone.
Then both of his daughters become sons. That’s not a red flag to anyone that something is up? He fucked up big time. He ruined these girls’ lives with his selfish behaviour. He just can’t get enough gamer grrl ass.
And is he even getting any? He’s fucking 300+ pounds, bald, married, has three kids, and nominally employed. This is not a catch.
His youngest son/daughter is like 14 years old, and she’s the one who he describes as “pan”. How does she even know what it is? I don’t know what it is. I thought that it meant people who are attracted to anyone. We already have bi-sexual for that, but I guess that “pan” includes…whatever the fuck new mystery genders that have been created as well.
Is that what it is? Let me look this up. Yeah, that’s right. How does this explain that she goes by “they/him”, though? It doesn’t even make grammatical sense. “He/him”? I get it. “They/them”, that works too. But how the fuck can you mix and match? It means nothing.
And Horny John Riggs’ explanation for why he’s a good father is “At least I’m not kicking them out of the house at 15.”
What have you actually done to be a good father? That’s the question. It’s not about an absence of abusive behaviour, although…clearly, some weird shit is going on in the Riggs’ household.
And then he frames this as a cultural thing. Everybody in Seattle gives their pronouns. It’s what we do. There are so many “trans” people that we all have to give our pronouns.
No. It’s impossible. He’s maligning the good people of Seattle with this suggestion.
John Riggs’ son/daughter posted a video on Youtube.

It’s weird as fuck. Is this referencing something? I made some weird shit when I was a kid, this is probably within the realms of normality, she’s trying to be “random”…I guess…but she’s also clearly mentally ill.
And Horny John Riggs can’t take any criticism for his obviously neglectful parenting. At best it’s neglectful. He’s constantly taking pictures of himself with various gamer grrls at nerd conventions. Not a single picture of him with his wife.
It’s unfortunate all around.
