Alex Jones is a lunatic conspiracy theorist. One of his most famous outbursts was that he was TIRED of the GOVERNMENT putting CHEMICALS IN THE WATER to turn the FREAKIN' FROGS GAY
I’m not sure how to respond to that statement other than thank you for explaining the context. That and what the fuck??!!!! The government won’t even contribute to feed or house hungry kids, now they’re somehow interested in the dynamics of frog sexuality? We are in the shittiest timeline.
His lunacy was disconnected from reality, don't worry.
Le sigh… I’m lucky I have a really cute dog and cat to go hug after this. Have a good one!
DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER?
MASS HYSTERIA!
They love each other too :)
"It's not funny"
He also owes billions for claiming the sandy hook massacre was fake and didn’t happen.
You made me realize the Gay Frogs panic was almost ten years ago

It is one of the biggest problems in western civilization.
Keep your hgh and gender affirming care from mah frogs they transition too much

Tl;dr Alex Jones is a liar and a cheat
Like any good conspiracy theory, it has a grain of truth in it.
We really do live in a world full of unnatural endocrine disruptors and their use has drastically increased over the past several decades (though it's unlikely there's a conspiracy to deliberately poison people, or frogs, with them), and endocrine disruptors really do fuck the body up in all sorts of fascinating ways.
That article says so too:
In contrast to claims about chemicals in the water, the effects of hormones on sexual orientation appear to occur at the prenatal stage, during organization of the brain.[16] Endocrine disruptor exposure during fetal development has been shown to affect sexual differentiation of the brain in animals,[4] however any effect on human sexual orientation or gender identity requires further research.[4][3]
huh, i just read an NIEHS report on endocrine disruptors. (this is very much not my field, this question probably exposes that). I wonder why they include phytoestrogens but not corticosteroids. pretty sure corticosteroids fuck up the endocrine system (very badly), just they're generally administered by doctors, not the environment or in your food.
No idea, but if I had to guess, corticosteroids break down so quickly that it's rare to be exposed to them inadvertedly.
well i mean NIEHS is the national institute of Environmental health science, so it makes sense why they'd focus on environmental causes rather than MD causes. just, it feels like an intentional oversight.
There is definitely a grain of truth behind this, which is actually even funnier than whatever Alex Dumbass Jones spun it into.
On my phone so I can’t look this up, but it was the CIA or the pentagon, who found some researchers who were studying this in frogs. They gave them a very small grant. Something like $100,000 which is pretty fucking small for a military research grant. They thought they could use this in Iraq to make the enemy gay, and like stop them from fighting by having gay sex with eachother.
It still baffles me that they thought being gay would render the opponent completely helpless because obviously "gay men can't help but fuck each other constantly".
What a take on sexuality lol.
Ultra straight, white, conservative, old men with a bit of a hidden gay thought buried in the closet seem to think that way, I can't explain their behavior any other way.
it's his whole thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtFRUDGW9LU
RIP to Knowledge Fight.
would have been nice coast for a bit longer after infowars got taken over but what can you do
atrazine is an endocrine disruptor and has caused frogs to become hermaphroditic, at least according to the researcher who was witch hunted by syngenta
it's also banned in many other countries
There's a (imo plausible) conspiracy theory that he was paid to talk about it to make it sound ridiculous
The very word "conspiracy theory" lends credence to your theory
(Conspiracy theory is a word made up by the CIA to make legitimate and well reasoned ideas critical of the government sound ridiculous, and be grouped in with flat earthers or vaccine deniers)
