Why People Are Freaking Out About Kate Beckinsale's Allegations, Jake Paul's Lawsuit, and More...

Dammmmmmnnnnnn the Girl Scouts weren't playing with that response. What are your thoughts? Are any of you Beautiful Bastards, Scouts? Let me know. :)

[@yessidelosrios3395]

they are savage haha

[@philtrumble]

I live in Canada and we already have girls in Cubs beavers and Scouts

[@Garling18]

Philip DeFranco they need to stop blaming the Boy Scouts when they're fully aware this was due to political duress. Also I consider this a win if Girl Scouts ends and the cookies are finally available in grocery stores

[@Cesar-sn1su]

I'm not trying to start up a argument... But that whole boy scout situation just seems a little silly to me...

[@simplysolus8916]

Well, the truth is, the Boyscouts has never been exclusively boys club. I know when I was in it, my entire town's Boyscouts were led by mothers rather than a guy, and someone's sister helping out wasn't uncommon as families would continue to hang around families while doing things. Only when we had big events where people from outside of town came were male scout leaders involved.

[@DrawWithRydi]

Jason Momoa was clearly referencing when his character Khal Drogo raped Daenerys and Daenerys fell in love with him shortly after. He's mocking the fantasy genre for these silly plot devices and how everyone just accepts them. He shouldn't get flamed for referencing something he did in a TV show because his character and plot was written that way.

[@Collorious]

Draw With Rydi Also, didn’t he say that was in 2011? Six years ago? Why are people just now mad about this?!

[@Scamspam]

Exactly, he's obviously not being personally boastful about it. People saying he "bragged about getting to rape women" is just misconstruing the story.

[@joesoly1234]

In the books its consensual.

[@joesoly1234]

Not relevant i just wanted to remind everyone that the writers knew that and went "NAhh, he rapes her in ours, its more romantic that way."

[@jamesmcgrath4250]

[@AlsaboGames]

Phil's Alex Jones impression gives me life. I request that he ends every episode with a stupid conspiracy theory in that voice.

[@NZAnimeManga]

He was literally referencing how his GoT character, Drogo, raped Danny on their (arranged) wedding night, and she ended up falling for him later on in the series.

[@billfred9411]

Yea jason doesn't deserve hate for that. It may have been in poor taste but he was clearly referencing his roles.

[@alessandrajaure9352]

NZAnimeManga I thought so too and I don’t even watch GOT

[@gateauxq4604]

There's more to it than that. They apparently filmed both a more tender and a more rapey version of the scene which was kinda weird for the actors in particular. It's more ironicly funny because I'm sure everyone on that panel had at least discussed that in passing, with both Jason and Emilia being left to figure out WTF they were supposed to do with that as actors. Its one of the more questionable choices the showrunners made and all around bizarre. I'm sure they were sick to death of talking about that at the time and could totally understand why it was funny.

[@Ecanbee]

Exactly! Thank you. I think it's ridiculous that people are taking that totally out of context and putting a target on his back.

[@NZAnimeManga]

EJ Cannon - ikr?! I'm surprised Phil didn't even mention that fact. It's also pretty well known that that the actors CONSTANTLY get asked about that awkward sex scene in particular - for obvious reasons...

[@thatcooperfellow]

Yet everything Corey Feldman has talked about is practically forgotten. Child abuse is another know secret in Hollywood and frankly even more disgusting.

[@vwalt6804]

That Cooper Fellow I agree

[@ZythorEbonlock]

So, 4 years later, maybe you should revist WHY Corey was forgotten. Might have something to do with him saying "I have proof" then just refusing to produce said proof. If he was telling the truth, 2020-2021 was the time he could have produced proof and changed something.

[@dylanmorgan8878]

Eagle Scout here. I was in the Boy Scouts from my inception as a Tiger Cub, all the way through to my eighteenth birthday, and have still continued to help out around my community since then. Boy Scouts was a terrific influence in my life. It taught me so much with regards to not only wilderness survival and striving for personal growth, but also the benefits of volunteer service, charity, and unbiased kindness and respect. I'm ecstatic to hear it's moving beyond gender specificity, as I believe everybody could learn and become so much more with the help of their local Scouting programs. I don't know anything first hand about the Girl Scouts, but from what I've heard, it's only a fraction of the program the BSA provides. At least that's how it's been described to me. And I think it's safe to say whatever implications would result from putting teenage boys and girls together for week long summer camps and the like, as well as breaking up a major fraternal aspect that could otherwise be a very positive thing in many boy's lives, are some things to be considered. But I think that is a conversation for another day, and the pros far outweigh the cons here, regardless.

[@blackopsperson100]

Dylan Morgan Also an Eagle Scout. I'd have to say I agree with you for the most part. I don't see any problem with Cub Scouts being integrated but there definitley would be an issue for Boy Scouts. Maybe if they were in the same patrol but were seperated by boys and girls for sleeping. Idk, I guess only time will tell.

[@commonnerfer]

This is almost the same comment as me I’m happy that other Eagle Scouts want this change as well it’s unfair and sexist with the current split I have faith the bsa can implement this properly and change lives.

[@cryptic128]

Well I think they should either get change in the Girl Scouts or maybe make a separate group similar to Boy Scouts

[@rudedrugs]

I agree. I think it's funny that the people who disagree are mostly women wanting equality and then as soon as something progresses they're like WE CAN DO IT OURSELVES GET OUT OF OUR SPACE. And the whole tradition aspect is bullshit.

[@markmendoxa2908]

i agree the boy scouts the program can work for boys and girls the only problem would be activities and camping together maybe. it would be easier if the girl scouts just followed the boys scouts program if they want girls to try to get eagle, the maybe activities and camping issue would be gone. I say "maybe" because maybe all that happens is you get more tent and a mom becomes a scout master.

[@joeyz9738]

I honestly don’t think they should have Boy or Girl Scouts, just make it Scouts, boys and girls should have to know how to work together and treat each other equally.

[@guy_chillin2406]

This is such a confusing time to be alive. First I grow up being told boys and girls are different. Then I am told that we should all be proud of who we are and wear our differences with pride. Then I am told we are all equal and we should teach equality and boys and girls are the same. Then I am told people can't change who they are. Then I am told that if you don't like what you are, you can change it. Now bathrooms are gender neutral and boys can join girl scouts and girls can join boy scouts. People can change their gender and sexual orientation changes with the wind. Why is anything anything anymore? What is anything. Should I be happy about myself or not? I am more confused than Elmer Fudd trying to figure out if it is duck season or rabbit season.

[@jeugene807]

[@muffinman6048]

At the end of the day, scouts should be good enough for all kids. It seems like the girl scouts is more for arts and crafts rather then outdoor stuff. If girls want to do only outdoor stuff they should be allowed. The idea of merging the 2 sounds great. Everyone is happy

[@Settlers6]

>Everyone is happy How do you see that happening? You just admitted that most girls like doing something else than boys. If the companies merge and the boys do the same things as the girls, one of those groups is not going to enjoy it. Would you suggest that every activity is optional and boys and girls can pick and choose what activity they participate in? But then the team-building will suffer. And like I commented before, I really think 'boys only' spaces and 'girls only' spaces are important, especially at that young age. Not all spaces need to be like that, obviously, not even most, just 1 or 2 where boys can be themselves without holding back and adjusting to the girls (which is often the direction it goes, instead of vice versa).

[@Settlers6]

>also, its not a good idea to seperate boys and girls until they reach a certain age....That will only make the other side feel like aliens, and make socialising way harder. That's clearly not what I'm saying. If you read my original comment, you'll see that I said: "Not all spaces need to be like that, obviously, not even most, just 1 or 2". Most spaces are mixed. And that's great. I just think there should also be spaces where one gender can just be without members from the other gender, as that changes the interactions and the development. >ive read they still seperate the troops by gender. Just that the girls now get to enjoy boy scouts things. If that's true, then great, I have no complaints. Do you have the source where you read it?

[@berlyn3014]

Arun, I was in Girl Scouts for over 25 years (until this year) from a girl to being in charge of the area where I live. You are not alone in believing that GS is more arts and crafts, but that's an outdated view and honestly part of the problem GS have. They have so many more programs these days for girls to learn much needed skills even science and computer programming to name just a couple.

[@noobiusmaximus6314]

They are just waiting for the next person to blame, so then they can say 'oh yeah, when I said there were other people, I meant this guy'. Not to say calling out HW isn't a good thing, but if there really are more people they know about, then they should mention them right now, while it is a topic that is being focused on.

[@TimedRevolver]

Or maybe they're worried that naming these people will potentially out someone who was abused, when it is entirely the abused's choice when to speak. It's like how Perez Hilton used to out people as gay. It's not his fucking decision to make. If someone is abused, it's on them or a relative to start the fight, not someone they've never met who opens this big can of worms by naming powerful people.

[@kumakisu]

"Camping 2-3 times a year?" When I was in Boy Scouts we went camping like, 10+ times a year lol

[@kylepark9471]

Chernobyl Bear yeah, probably like once a month

[@shogun5599]

So did we we had a monthly trip that we planned ourselves and then had other activities ontop of that

[@LivyVids]

Former Girl Scout here. My mom signed me up in first grade and I stayed for 3 years before throwing a fit to quit. It was boring for me. We met once a month for 2-3 hours at a local church and spent the majority of the time doing crafts, singing songs and watching the older girls cook. (I spent most of the first 30 mins hiding in the bathroom crying to go home) one girl was in a wheelchair so the troop leaders decided we would do all of our activities indoors while sitting. While I’m glad she was included, I was bored out of my mind. I wanted to play in the woods and go camping like my neighbors in Boy Scouts. They even looked nicer than us in their uniforms, all we had were vests. When the Jamboree came around the leaders told us it wouldn’t be fair for our troop to go without that girl so they wouldn’t let anyone sign up. When I hear other girls talk about the fun they had in Girl Scouts I can’t help but feel like I missed out on all potential fun. The program needs heavily revised. Knowing how to sew and cook is important but ONLY doing that while watching all the other Scouts go to camp and swim and hike and explore just isn’t fair. I’d sign my future daughter up in a heartbeat for boy scouts if this all works out.

[@briannalee1998]

Girl Scouts was a great experience for me when I was little, I enjoyed selling and eating cookies, lol! We also had a Girl Scouts camp where we made bracelets, decorated t shirts with craft, played games, made masks, played kickball, and did a lot of other fun activities, but then again I do enjoy making things with crafts, designing, and decorating, so that's probably why I liked it so much. Plus, It was a great way to make friends. Camping would've been fun too, while learning how to build campfires would've been really useful, so why not just add those activities to Girl Scouts instead of putting them in Boy Scouts? Also, With so many people speaking out about sexual harassment and assault, it almost gives me hope that could change, no one girl or guy, should ever have to experience that, especially when they are so young.

[@JenniferGarlick]

Brianna Brickey Did your troop not go camping at all? I'm 29 now and when I was a girl scout we went camping and hiking all the time. I'm not sure if it's changed or if it was just my troop.

[@reaeve121]

[@cptnsfti]

At my girlscout camp I teach girls all the things they do at boyscout camp! I'm only 18, so maybe its the age, but my unit leaders, both the adults and the high school aged girls, made sure we'd be teaching girls everything- not just what is seen as a 'girls' role.

[@dashandcrash6667]

I am an Eagle scout, and I acheived this rank last year. I support this decision because I have female friends who are sisters of other scouts, who went with them to cubscouts, where the girls also participated in most activities in the meetings. After cubscouts ended though, the next high adventure program they could really participate was venture crew, in which they had to wait until they were 14 to join. I know they would of loved to join boy scouts, but just were never given the chance. They would of been stellar scouts, and given the chance, they would have become an Eagle before me. The deserve the chance.

hello, I'm a scout from Mexico where we have been integrated for the past two decades. I have also worked with several BSA and GSA groups, and I have to say that I have not experienced or seen anything that makes me think that way from either organization. While sexual abuse cases from the past are horrendous acts that should be punished, I do believe that you are expecting the worst from people, and that should not be the case. Thank you for reading.

[@franticranter]

can i add that in most other countries like the uk, they don't have boy scouts and girl scouts, we just have scouts. girls can join scouts or guides, which is like scouts but only for girls (but a bit bit more "traditionally" feminine). girls help to change the experience of scouting, i find that at camps, they help to keep he guys hygienic! girls have been allowed to join since 1976

[@spartan8705]

Guides is more arts and crafts than Scouts.

[@MattiHeartsHP]

Not the case on an organisational level, but sadly true on an individual unit level :( I will say that scouts and guides are not the same umbrella organisation, although Guides are part of the same umbrella organisation as Girl Scouts.

[@Jsfun]

I find it pretty funny that the dudes require the girls to be there to stay hygienic

[@franticranter]

yeah, it depends on the troop, but my troop doesn't care because you're at camp and they try to be super manly and don't put deodorant on or wash their hands or anything. some troops are super modern, but others like mine where the actual founder of that troop still runs it don't care.

Former Scoutmaster for 8 years, I guided 12 scouts to the rank of Eagle two of them my sons. I have the presidential scoutmaster award, scoutmaster of the year 4 times, top troop in my council 6 times and scouting family of the year once. We talked about this years ago but many of the establishment didnt want it and said that was taken by explorer scouts and venture crew. (too bad they can not make Eagle there) When the discussion came up years ago the girlscouts threatened litigation if we did so it was dropped for 15 to 20 years. The original in England Boyscouts became co ed in 1991. International Jamborees are amazing with boys and girls from all over the world. Me and most of the people I know in the scouting community love this change.

Don't you feel their is something essential taken away? These are maturing boys experiencing puberty together with other boys who understand what they are going through. It kinda hard to talk about how Tammy makes you feel weird and tingly to your other cabin-mates when some of them are girls (maybe even Tammy. There are things that boys need to talk about in order to not feel isolated, that they just can't with girls around. I would think it would definitely make girls uncomfortable and insecure to hear boys talk about how they are starting to notice boobs. Yet I feel boys need a place to talk about this and other "boy" things. For some boys scouts are the only chance to experience this brotherhood, when they otherwise always in class with girls, at home with sisters, etc...

[@Danrod96]

Derek Lutifer That is not the point of Boy Scouts. You are fundamentally missing the point of the organization. I'm an Eagle Scout, and discussing that was strictly forbidden. The point is to build a set of skills in a safe environment where hard work and failure are encouraged so that you can learn things that aren't taught in schools. These skills aren't gender specific. The scouting community loved this change. The only people upset are people that aren't involved.

[@dereklutifer2881]

Forbidding boys from talking about girls? Technically talking about sexual stuff may be forbidden, but was impossible when you have a group of boys experiencing puberty and noticing girls for the first time. I was in boy scouts and we talked about girls. Not to mention non sexual stuff boys are going through at that time of their lives. There is stuff that is embarrassing to talk about around girls. it also is hard to fail around girls, more humiliating. I shared tears and failures in boy scouts, that if girls were around I may not have even attempted out of fear. I wasn't very popular with the girls in jr high and didn't need to give them anything else to laugh at me about. Boys are more comfortable around other boys. And like I said, some boys need a space where they can "be boys" without girls around. Not to mention boys are raging balls of hormones. This just opens up the door for them to peek in girls tents or do other inappropriate things.

[@TewifyingUwU]

I grew up on a girl scout campus, I literally lived in a house on campus for years because my dad was a manager of the campus. It was an absolutely amazing experience for me, but I also have to honestly say that the girls there didn't learn any useful life skills. Everything was spoon-fed and the gossip was ferocious. I'd rather enter my future daughters into the cub scouts.

We willingly share so much online we can't be surprised when privacy becomes a thing of the past.

As a Gold Award Girl Scout, the experience is what you make of it. In my 12 years, my troop abandoned me and I was a lone scout (a Juliette). There wasn’t a ton of support for older girls and girls like me, but I used the programming available (the three High Awards) to make a difference.

[@spqueue42]

krustomer The same thing happened to me. My dad and brother were in the Boy Scouts and I was always so jealous of all the stuff they got to do. While I was finishing up my time in Girl Scouts, I found that there was practically nothing outdoorsy for me to do in a group setting. Sometimes I was able to accompany my brother and father on their camping trips because my mother was working. I enjoyed those so much more than I did my Girl Scout activities. I would have loved for this to be an option for me. I would have rather been a Boy Scout than a Girl Scout.

[@mardyberlinger6298]

I am Gold Award recipient as well. GSUSA and my council tried to force me into being a Juliette and insisting on removing all of the funds from my troop even though I was still a remaining member. It was ugly. I completed my award and briefly served as a council delegate before and during the giant reorganization. I became so disgusted with the GSUSA politics I dropped my membership and I no longer support GSUSA. As a gay woman, I can’t support BSA either. It’s the kids who are losing.

Yes but girls are unable to earn the rank of Eagle Scout, from what I'm gathering BSA would be putting in essentially female troops so that these girls could join sooner and have the opportunity to earn the rank. Personally I'm an Eagle Scout and the experiences I had will stay with me for the rest of my life and I would be fine with letting girls who want to be an Eagle Scout try and attain that rank, as long as it doesn't change the experiences of the boy already in the organization.

everyone's forgetting the bad side of whats going on in the boy scouts. Thats great you had a positive experience, but you're white. I know so many latino kids and had so many black friends who NEEDED something positive like the scouts, BUT were refused. It was only available to the wealthier families, who were - guess what? mostly white, but always richer. Fix the issue of allowing scouts of all NATIONALITIES from ALL CLASSES first, then we can talk about allowing a girl - who may also be black or latino to be denied membership

[@evelinakronquist8930]

I agree. In Sweden we just have scouts where we welcome everyone and that has always worked well.

I was a girl scout and I'm here for boy scouts allowing girls in. Eagle Scouts can actually get scholarships to college- Girl Scouts didn't give me anything other than friends and some bombass cookies. The Boy Scouts have always done it better (teaching better skills, having more fun, and having better opportunities for older members). My only regret is that this wasn't an option when I was a kid. Perhaps Girl Scouts should work on improving their own programs instead of attacking those who do it better.

[@dihydrogenmonoxide9174]

Philip DeFranco I'm a scout. Scouting is a world wide organization, and BSA (Boy Scouts of America) is just the US version. In all other member countries except some middle eastern ones girls are able to join. The US is one of the only places where girls can't join scouts. The Girl Guide program (the original Girl Scouts, also from the UK) was created by the same guy who founded Boy Scouts because girls wanted to participate as well. I think that the two groups should merge in the US, but I doubt this would ever happen. This would be beneficial to both groups as they wouldn't take potential members from one another and could consolidate their following. However, this could be troubling due to BSA's troubling history with sexual assault. BSA has good policies when it comes to adult leadership, but these would have to be revisited in the case of a merge. Most if not all adult leaders are parents of scouts, and though I have no evidence, I think a parent leader is less likely to assault someone than a volunteer. In my experience as a scout I have never witnessed nor heard of any such cases personally, but I understand it would be and is a problem.

[@JacobX89]

Except an overwhelming majority of sexual assault on children is done by people they know, such as family members or family friends, so a parent leader is actually MORE likely to assault someone than a volunteer.

[@oulart]

I think the issue is the name. I am guessing some people, kids included may feel unconfortable if a boy is at girl scouts. Change the name.

My son's can't relate to everything my daughter goes through. Nor do I expect them to. Vice versa. My husband was thankful for all boy time given he was surrounded by 8 sisters. No matter how understanding etc. He resented being around them 24/7 till boy scouts. Asked my daughter about this, she's 8,. Nope. She's around her brothers everyday. Camping fishing etc. Girl scouts only place where she can be around others she can relate to. Course my boys are boys, not snowflake skinny jean wearing pansies. But can braid their sisters hair.

I was a Girl Scout growing up and loved it immensely. I gotta say it helped me become the nature-loving person I am today. We used to go camping for a month in the summers and it was always a blast. I eventually stopped being a Scout when I became interested in swimming (didn't have the time for both) but I still have my vests full of patches. I think it's great because kids get to experience a lot of different things and figure out what they're into and not into. I'm 27 now so I really don't know what's changed since I was a kid, but when it comes time for me to have kids I'll definitely be looking into Scouting as an introductory extracurricular. I think it's great to be able to choose to have your son and daughter in either/or since shuffling kids to extracurriculars is a full time job in itself. If it weren't for my best friend's mom (who's a teacher and had a better after school schedule than my parents) taking me to and from my swim practices and meets, I wouldn't have been able to go that route.

On the Jason Mamoa speech. ....He was not making a rape joke. He was referencing an actual plot line of a popular TV show. In the first season of Game of Thrones, Jason's character Kahl Drogo is gifted a wife. She is a very young and naive virgin. He rapes her every night until she seeks help from her lady's maid, who teaches her the art of seduction and love making. She uses her new found skill to woo her new husband. Drogo and Daeny fall madly in love with each other. Jason points out that plot line as one of the many diverse reasons he liked doing Sci Fi shows and movies. NOT because he wants to live out some male rape fantasy or because it fits in the Harvey Weinstein drama. I think that using that clip in conjunction to this story is blindly irresponsible and taken completely out of context.

Drogo being relatively caring and gentle towards Dany is actually a central part of his character early on, it looked like the show was going for the same portrayal a couple episodes in, which contrasts really weirdly with the first couple of scenes between them.

[@terracidal6438]

To address the main question (is this going to provide a good change, the boy scouts controversy, and the Jason Mamoa Story: This to me seems to be the start of a change in terms of the mindset towards speaking out. Before it was hidden, kept secret in fear of the influence he had. I believe this will inspire change within companies to realize the repercussions of these actions being shown to the public, and to create prevention policies (not for the benefit of the women, but for the company cause money is the root) to prevent issues like this become a PR disaster. Along with this, people who are harassed will have a strong safety net when they speak out as previously some were afraid because they would be ostracized but now with this huge focus, one could report and reliably have many others backing them, both influential persons and the masses. A great example of power in numbers and a good support system. As for girl scouts and boy scouts, there is no tangible reason to segregate men and women in this respect. Give them options of what their interests are, and let them work together. By telling kids no, and forcing them to learn and do what others prescribe their gender to do is going to create both apathy and a separation between the two genders for no reason. If boys and girls work together from a young age, when they grow into adults and enter the workforce we will have both being experienced in working with the opposite gender. This could even go as far as reducing workplace harassment if they can reliably learn to work with and around their opposites. And for Jason Mamoa? This was a joke referencing the raping in Game of Thrones. If just the joke is a huge deal, what about the actual showing of rape in GoT? Why is a joke from years back even more harmful than the direct depiction and emotion of it? Sorry again for the long post, but those are the views I have on the topics here. I did my best to keep personal bias out of it, and hope it helps inform others. If you have any questions about anything I talked about here in this comment, please leave a comment below.

[@XxBlackWarri0rxX]

The only precaution in regard of supporting the idea of people "speaking out" is to avoid getting out of hand with how this is used. Right now powerfull people have a system that lets them do whatever they want withouth fear of repercussions so it will take some time for the balance to go towards the other side, which is falsely accusing people to destroy their lives, and therefore blackmailing them to do whatever the accuser wants, given they accuser would have a new system that supports them, instead of abusers. In the end, giving way too much power wont change things, it will only keep the cogs going but making a different sound, there must always be some kind of control to avoid abuse of any kind.

[@bw8450]

Rape happend in real life and will always keep happening. Not showing something that happend a lot in that time is just deying that bad things happen to people at all.

In the books btw he never raped her, but the mountain did gang rape an underage tavern girl.

[@harryc5951]

Terracidal I'm unsure about the boy scouts story. I want girls to be able to get the same experiences that boy scouts get, it's an organisation far more oriented towards adventure and practical skills than the girl scouts. My fear is that if will go the same way as other organisations that were male-only become co-ed and start fundamentally changing to be more "accessible" to their female members. Maybe I'm just being paranoid but I don't want to see the spirit of scouts die out because it loses its focus.

[@JoeR-cd9jg]

Jason mamoa didnt do anything wrong. It wasnt a poor joke it was a joke about something that was a large part of game of thrones. He wasnt saying it would be a good thing irl he was making a joke about some scenes he did.

[@terracidal6438]

If separated, girls don't get the chance to learn those practical skills that you speak of, and boys don't get to learn what the girls do(really don't know). So instead of mixing everything and forcing people to learn what they aren't interested in (like many do now, also see "Don't Stay In School" by Boyinaband) they should give the options to go to Adventures, and Practical Skills as you put it or go to the stuff that the girls do instead. This way everybody has the option, and nobody is restricted to the things others force on them. And again to use your words, the "spirit of the scouts" wouldn't die.

*Alex*

[@Tenereus]

Teric Abunuwara Adam Jones is a Welsh rugby player. Alex Jones is who you're thinking of :p

[@ovaryacted]

Teric Abunuwara lol Adam Jones

[@tabunuwara]

Um actually Adam jones is a cornerback for the bengals y'all are dumb 🙄

[@Tenereus]

Teric Abunuwara search 'Adam Jones rugby' and you'll see I'm right

[@alexhastie3771]

Wait what. Scouts that includes everyone has been a thing in Australia for years now

[@alastarflint2801]

Alex Hastie America is a very strange place that often only makes sense to americans.

[@venus1301]

Alex Hastie yeah in most countries I've been both a scout and a girl guide and scouts are better..but girl guides is more like a baby sitting program lmao

[@therxckstar]

+Alastar flint Aussies are just now teaching people about how they killed off the aborigines who lived there first, I'm pretty sure they're a munch stranger place with a lot of secrets

[@oulart]

Alex Hastie I think the issue in the USA is the name. Do you think a boy would like to be part of the girl scouts? It may be confusing.

[@baileyandthejets6240]

I still think there should be places for just boys or just girls. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it as long as both offer the same activities and resources.

[@nilayparekh9585]

With Jason Momoa, am I the only one thinking that hes talking about Khal Drogo and Danaerys?

[@mellowhero3520]

Nilay Parekh It was clearly intended to be a wry comment about the development of that relationship. But it's a slow newsweek for sjws

[@catlett018]

That's exactly what he's talking about.

[@LagunaX1]

No, anyone who doesn't think that is either a moron or doesn't watch the show.

[@superphantom100]

Phil that wasn’t a Terrible impression of Alex Jones that was spot on and you mad me genuinely laugh. Thanks

[@briggsblevins8187]

Please do an entire video only doing your Alex jones impression

[@SatanicKale]

Oogly Man it was pretty entertaining

[@tonypeppermint5329]

Yes please, it has to happen.

[@halfcryptid]

I think Jason was making a reference to how ridiculous it is that his character in Game of Thrones raping Emilia's character leads the two of them to falling madly in love with each other. It was a poorly thought out joke, but that's just my 2 cents on the matter.

[@wiztra]

Dangerous Mermaid yes, that is literly what hapens in the show, i dont se why people are outraged about his comments

[@RainyDays2790]

i agree, it wasn't worded right but he was deff meant in the context of game of thrones only. he's a seemingly sweet dude and i doubt he was trying to offend anyone with the joke

[@funstuff81girl]

It could be taken as a critique of the storyline but I see why people wouldn't be comfortable with it.

[@jamesburgess2k]

People who are mad only heard the word "rape" and were triggered. In the show, HIS CHARACTER rapes, not ask for consensual sex, that's why he said rape. It's easily understandable if you're trying to comprehend instead trying to get offended.

[@StacyRee]

Dangerous Mermaid I agree with you completely. GoT is pretty rapey anyway. He was speaking about how ridiculous it is. I believe I have even seen Emilia Clarke talking about how great and concerned he was for her welfare during that time period. He is not a bad guy.

[@YTBraxxGaming]

Why do people buy these virtual assistants? They seem like more of a hassle than a helper

[@YTBraxxGaming]

Guck foogle

[@Rackyack]

idk how much of a hassle saying OK Google, Alexa, etc. can be but ok.

[@YTBraxxGaming]

Rackyack I meant the privacy risks hassles

[@jamesoren7238]

They don't I think. It's more that the companies that make them have a vested interest in making them seem highly desirable, and tech writers haven't had a new device to talk about for a while. At the end of the day they're just spyware devices for your home. You'll never navigate menus, or read the news with a friggin voice assistant, you can't shop around with one, or even stand to hear more than three options read out.. in fact all you can do is bark orders you already know at them - set alarm, pause, play, etc. But they're listening all the time, collecting data on you. To be honest, you won't ever use them for anything other than what you used voice control for on any device 10 years ago that had it, but they get a lot more out of you. It kind of makes me laugh that we've had Siri and co built into out phones for 5 years and everyone ignored it, but then they started selling you a device that's just that same voice assistant so they can hear what's going on in your home and people rushed out to buy them. Just remember, 2 months later when the novelty's worn off and it's just sitting on the shelf or side table, it's still listening.

[@netherrealmshero]

Not really as much of a hassle as much as it's a useless machine for the price. It isn't something that anyone needs as much as they just want it.

I am one of three siblings where we all where scouts, two girl one boy. My sister and I lived for camping and pinewood derby and all the stuff we could do as a family. Girl Scout camping was either in air conditioned cabins or so rough my mother made comparisons to military training. Boy Scouts was a fun in the middle. There was more to do, and as someone who did Girl Scouts all the way through, by the end of it we had nothing to do. At the high school level you can basically mentor or work on your awards (bronze, silver, gold) The paper work complaint is no joke. Our troop leader told us the reason we didn't do something's was that her and other moms didn't have time to get all this training done. My brothers troop also seemed cooler because they would have meetings in their little groups but the troop was of boys of all ages. This meant when they got together for events things were awesome. There were boys my sister and I went to school with, so we didn't feel awkward or have to stay around my brothers friends. And they had the best parties. I remember the Halloween parties were epic. All these families in cool costumes and awesome food. My Girl Scout troop had seven people for the last like four years. Which was cool, and we did some cool stuff. I love thinking day, something my troop ran for a few years. And my sister and I went to tons of cool events, like I had a multi troop sleepover where it was science themed and the activities were making slime and learning about all this other stuff. My sister recently got to spend a few hours at a community college and get a general lesson on some basics in forensic science (she's in eighth grade) Overall I think the idea is great, but I think if Girl Scouts made it easier to do things (and fixed the money with Girl Scout cookies, we seriously made less than a dollar per box) as well as made camping better and made it more interactive I would've enjoyed it more. I went on great trips with my troop and made awesome friends, but I have just as many great memories from tagging along with my dad and brother to Boy Scouts, and I spent much less time there
