Indigenous TikToker Calls Out 'Toxic Masculinity' After Conservative Guy Challenges Him To A Fight

Indigenous TikToker Calls Out 'Toxic Masculinity' After Conservative Guy Challenges Him To A Fight
@modern_warrior__/TikTok

A Republican vs. Democrat "boxing match" sounds like the plot of a Black Mirror episode, but sadly, it is reality that a TikToker was intending to follow through with the idea.

TikToker @saiyantransformation, the Republican in question, sent a challenge to an indigenous TikToker, Lance Tsosie (@modern_warrior__,) to fight him.


But Tsosie declined with a very calm explanation about why he would not engage in violence with the Republican.



"Hey colonizer," Tsosie starts.

"I knew it would only be a matter of time until you resorted to violence. As I've proven time and time again that your arguments against the native community have no validity. You see, another main difference between you and I is this: My masculinity is not toxic."

Tsosie then goes on to explain the difference between toxic masculinity and non-toxic masculinity.

He breaks down toxic masculinity into three components: 1. "the suppression of emotions and masking of distress," 2. "maintaining an appearance of hardness," and 3. "viewing violence as an indicator of power."

"It basically comes down to how we were all brought up: that boys should not express their emotions, that they have to be tough all the time, and that anything other than that makes them 'feminine' or weak."

Tsosie continues on to say that he worked hard to dismantle these ideas of "what it means to be a man."

"Because at the end of the day, we are the ones who decide what manhood is and who have to find a way to live into it."

'Hunger Games'-Style Immigrant Reality Show Pitched To Homeland Security Sparks Outrage

According to a report in The Daily Mail, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reportedly reviewing a pitch for a reality television show where immigrants would compete for a chance to fast-track their path to U.S. citizenship.

DHS is reportedly collaborating with writer and producer Rob Worsoff on a proposed reality television show titled The American, which risks turning a serious and often traumatic process into entertainment. The concept comes as the Trump administration continues to clamp down on asylum access and prepares to implement a sweeping deportation plan targeting millions of undocumented immigrants.

GOP Rep. Has To Be Woken Up During Roll Call After Pulling An All-Nighter—And Oops

Utah Republican Representative Blake Moore had social media aghast after video showed he had to be woken up by one of his GOP colleagues to vote during a House Ways and Means Committee meeting early Wednesday morning after pulling an all-nighter.

The House Ways and Means Committee worked through the night Tuesday as Republicans pushed forward key elements of President Donald Trump’s plan to extend tax cuts in ongoing budget negotiations. The marathon session extended into the early hours of Wednesday, and just before 5 a.m. ET, cameras caught Moore asleep in his chair as his turn to vote arrived.

Hillary Clinton Nails Trump With Blistering Truth Bomb Over Luxury Jet 'Gift' From Qatar

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called out President Donald Trump in a post on X for accepting a "free gift" of a luxury jet from the Qatari royal family, pointing out that despite what Trump might say, there's no way he could have been offered the jet without the expectation that he would give something in return.

In a Truth Social post Sunday night, Trump claimed the Pentagon would be accepting a Boeing 747-8 “GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE” to serve as a temporary replacement for Air Force One. Trump’s comments come just ahead of his planned visit to Doha, Qatar—part of his first major overseas trip since taking office in January.
