It feels like every time I find a podcast about security/networking/technology the hosts end up saying some pretty off-color stuff, or I look them up and they also host right wing podcasts. Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?

Weird how people like you can’t hear an opinion if the person speaking isn’t gay.

If you listen to tech podcasts, you might learn what a logical “or” means.

It’s weird how some people (who might be LGBT, a woman,BIPOC, or not bigots) don’t want to hear conservative white people spouting racist, sexist, bigoted crap …

From OP: Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?

How is this different from: are there any podcast hosted by right wing and or racists whyte cucks, at least not openly pro gay?

People need to understand thay this attitude goes both ways and fuels these degenerate culture war dick measuring contests.

This is not about teams, it’s about people not being ACTIVELY BIGOTED

Just…come on man. Hatred isn’t an opinion.

Believing that certain folks don’t deserve basic rights because of their identity, sexual orientation, skin color, etc. is not an opinion that’s acceptable. No one with a brain wants to hear any of that non-sense thankfully!

this is only your third comment on our site and you are not making a good impression by immediately getting offended by a pretty banal ask.

Don’t worry, alyaza. I won’t be back. I don’t like beehaw and how your mods act like children. How much of a weirdo you need to be to police my comments to make an “impression”?

It’s called moderation and without it, discussions devolve into ad hominem - as you proved.

It’s right there in the sidebar.

Websites with ineffective moderation allow hate speech to proliferate and contribute to the erosion of minority rights and safe spaces. Our goal with Beehaw is to demonstrate and promote a healthier environment.

This is such a classic example of projection. The mods have to step in when users act like children. They’re not the problem.

It’s tiring hearing people discuss how myself and people like me shouldn’t have rights, so I try to avoid it.

The fact that it’s much easier to avoid bigotry by sticking to queer-created content says more about cishet people than it does about LGBTQ+ folks.

Yes, but listening to tech podcasts should include talks about tech only. I won’t listen to it if it turns into non-tech related political talk even for oneliners here and there.

The old joke was “I hate when I go to Vuvuzela concert, but people starts to play soccer”. It applies into tech as well, at least for me personally.

I don’t oppose/resist peoples freedom for their self-expression on any level, but I want to enjoy tech purely free from politics simply because living avoiding politics is hard enough already. I still support Pride-people to express themselves as they want.

I’m specifically interested in the overlooked history and perspectives of women, LGBT folks, POC and disabled people in tech though. Ofc not all tech podcasts should be political, I’m just interested in those things and am having trouble finding related media. I’ve stumbled on more right-leaning stuff while browsing Spotify though. I just don’t wanna get jump scared by homophobia.

I’ve never heard a single person make this complaint and not also be okay with people talking a little bit about their own lives, or bring their background into what they’re talking about. People are people, and most people like to talk about their lives, or bring their own personal experiences into things.

Perhaps you’re different, but I would be surprised to find a tech podcast which includes a completely life/human-sanitized space which includes absolutely no conversation about the hosts and talking only about tech. Can you suggest one to me?

As an aside… pride-people? Is this a dutch thing?

Twenty years ago, before I questioned anything about myself, I fell in a pattern of looking for queer friendly spaces when looking for nice clans inside games I played. It’s a shorthand for receptive spaces that I use even today.
