    Imagine if someone made a so-called documentary full of lies about you. Would you still feel this way?

      Obviously I would want a movie full of lies about me removed. I would be against a generalized rule that says the subject of a documentary gets veto power over whether or not it gets released to the public.

      Personal feelings about what to do about a specific thing I don’t like are different than my thoughts on the correct general policy that should apply on platforms.

      This question only makes sense if the op made the argument that it makes no sense that trans people are upset about the video, which they clearly did not.

      How did such a massive swing and miss get so many upvotes?
