Too lazy to get the original post and the subsequent drama related to it so I’ll just summarize.
I told a community they shouldn’t celebrate “kys posts” because it’s mentally unhealthy and isolating. Made another post asking a similarly named community to look out and help out another post. I got accused of being transphobic because I finger wagged at celebrating the death/murder of other people. Then I pretty much stood up for myself, explained what I mean the best I could, and let people know that I think they’re mentally ill things. Amazing
Ask me anything. Yes I am petty.
Jk Rowling was the person they told to “suck on a shotgun”, so it’s not just cruelty for cruelty sake.
Celebrating “kys post” would be considered anti social behavior by me. I don’t go around saying we should kill people. Even when ik screaming at traffic (at my protest ) I say “everyone here wants to remove trump from office” like I don’t even think about assassinating trump or advocating for his death(but I might suggest trump will die of natural causes).
If I were to go around talking about people I want dead, I would definitely be scaring people and eventually get hostile retaliations.
I would be better to workshop how to communicate trans advocacy. Like how do we explain that it’s okay to feel like you have different gender than what your born into. Trans people are normal people. (2 people actually got mad at me using the term normal)
Different social environments I guess. I do openly celebrate the death of people I dont like. After Charlie kirk the first thing I said at work was “did anyone hear the good news”. To me these people are so beyond the pale that they do not deserve basic respects. These people are ghouls they have no empathy or compassion. They can only be moved by being bullied or forced to change. No one actually cares if they believe it we just need them to stop attacking.
For the point about trans advocacy. The way I see it you have two prongs of trans advocacy both moving the needle.
You have the people who approach it in a kind open way and they do good work in moving normal people. They also act as a filter exposing the people who cannot be reached via that method.
Then the other prong fights dirty and attacks these people and demeans them because they will be attacking trans people (in an information warfare sense). You can’t just let them sit around and attack it has to be seen for people to be pushing back and countering these narratives. An example of this is saying “not a drag queen” every time a right winger gets exposed for being a pedofile. Or mocking Charlie kirks death.
