Talk:Ana Kasparian

Typos, Grammatical
Within the "Views" section, "fiance" needs to be replaced with "finance", both times that it is used incorrectly.

Fixed it. However it would have been easier for you to fix it, rather than stating it here and waiting for someone else to see your comment. Unless you're not an auto-confirmed user. Daxri

transphobia
it seems relevant that kasparian has bin involved in scandals becos she started spouting transphobia online, an then doubled down on it when challenged. that's something that should maybe be mentioned in her political view section or a separate controversies section nxjdk Naomi-chan33 (talk) 14:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Kasparian was accused by some of transphobia, but if you look dispassionately at what she said, she was only saying what terms she did not want to be referred to as - "person with a uterus, birthing person, [and] person who menstruates". She did not actually attack transexuals. She has the right to say what she does or does not identify as. RJ4 (talk) 20:40, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I think best if we avoid making these judgements ourselves. If there are reliable sources that documented some scandal or controversy, then it should be covered (neutrally), otherwise not. Samuelshraga (talk) 07:46, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Political shift
Ana Kasparian has been shifting in a more centrist political direction over the last year, being critical of progressive and mainstream reporting on things like the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, crime spikes in the US, etc. She discusses this at length in a TYT segment from July 2023 and in the following podcast interviews:

Among other factors, she credits reading Jonathan Haidt, as well as an experience of sexual assault by a street criminal in Los Angeles for her shift in perspective. Since her political views are a topic of one of the sections of the articles, her more recent views (and possibly other's reception of this shift) are worth discussing.
