“I AM ONLY POINTING OUT THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF GATEKEEPING APPS BASED ON THR ABILITY TO SEE PEOPLES NAMES. AND THAT THEIR COMENT HISTORY IS RIFE WITH REMOVALS AND BANS- INDICATING THEY ARE A TROLL.” False. You and everyone else started on them before other apps were ever brought up, and I’ll admit that was kinda silly for them to get upset about. But don’t act like this is about that when it’s very clearly not. And all you have to do to get comments removed or get banned is disagree with the mods of any major instance, like by saying trans people or Palestinians deserve rights on a .world comm or not liking fascism or the taliban on .ml. Doesn’t mean shit about whether or not someone is a troll or a sock puppet, but go ahead and research it since they and I are living rent free in your head rn.

“NOTHING IN MY COMMENT HAS ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH TRANSGENDERISM IN ANY CAPACITY.” Then how come people being misgendered is just a difference in opinion to you? Why did you get so upset about them just correcting a case of misgendering? If you’re cool with trans people, surely you’re cool with pointing out when somebody gets misgendered and won’t freak out if somebody does

“Who downvoted me? My words need to be respected” is a hell of a way to misconstrue somebody wondering why correcting a blatant case of misgendering got them shit tons of hate. Again, why the hate for that unless they’re against respecting trans people? This isn’t any more clever than when Nazis say “oh everyone is a Nazi to you” while flying a swastika. The fact that you think disrespect is the proper response to respecting trans people says a fucking lot about you and all the other cissies in these replies.

Are you done? Or have you not gotten tired of defending and downplaying transphobic bullshit on the Internet?

Nothing screams mature like one or two dozen comments dogpiling someone who corrected what looked like super blatant misgendering. Why is it so important to dogpile somebody who corrected misgendering? Why not just move on like a normal person and not act like downvoting someone for pointing out misgendering isn’t weird?

In the off chance you’re not arguing in bad faith here, seriously what’s the point of this? Somebody corrected some misgendering that looked blatant and pointed, and didn’t even have that strong a reaction to it, and you and like 20 others downvoted and dogpiled them for it. Why? And it started before lemmy apps were even brought up, so that’s not it. If you or anyone else who downvoted think trans people deserve respect, why are you spending so much energy punishing someone for respecting a trans person’s pronouns? Explain how downvoting someone into oblivion for correcting misgendering does anything good for trans rights

Very convenient how you skirt around why people are actually downvoting the person saying you shouldn’t misgender people. When the way people “see the world differently than you” is that they think trans people’s identities don’t deserve respect, they’re not owed a respectful response

Imagine whining about this person being disrespectful when you’re wasting this much time and energy excusing misgendering xD that person screwed up, you don’t have to be a dick about it. They were blatantly, obviously misgendering. What are you trying to accomplish by defending that?

How do you see the world differently to them? Go ahead, say it

“Fascist hate speech and platforming fascists and inspiring fascist violence doesn’t make you a Nazi, calling people out for it does!”

When did he apologize? I’d love to see a video where he acknowledges that saying slurs and paying a homeless person to hold a sign that says “kill all Jews” and platforming multiple far right fuckers was wrong

What’s good about the Tulsi Gabbard here? Unless you just mean she (like all the Trump appointees) is the worst person for the job and it’ll make the country collapse faster lol

Be careful licking the CyberBoots, they corrode and explode if you look at them wrong

A perfectly guided opinion. You do get why the CEO likes Trump and left the fediverse while staying on Twitter, right?

Btw tell me why they left mastodon and bluesky, and why they’re still on Twitter. gimme a good reason that isn’t him being a Nazi

Found the Nazi :D

You know sucking off CEOs won’t make them treat you any better than anyone else right?

“No you don’t get it! Supporting trump isn’t really supporting trump! Just bc the CEO likes Trump’s policy and endorsed him doesn’t mean he endorsed him!”

Normal people don’t jerk off Trump like that. Dude is blatantly a Nazi, if you can’t see it that says a lot about you

Literally even a single thing at all would be nice

I didn’t know about that or the alt accounts oof. Prob a troll, definitely an asshole

I haven’t heard about the unsolicited porn and dick pics. you have receipts?

Again, I don’t see evidence drag’s a cis troll unless you take drag’s identity as evidence, and doing that is a real good way to wind up stuck and not accepting people you don’t understand. I’m nonbinary and not much makes me more angry or depressed than other trans people and “allies” saying I’m cis or that I’m responsible for trans people’s suffering. The amount of hurtful shit drag’s dealt with on lemmy must be a lot worse, and drag hasn’t done anything to deserve the amount of shit drag gets. If you have evidence that drag’s being disingenuous besides vibes lmk, otherwise quit equating identities you don’t understand or respect to blackface

I used to think drag was just a troll account making fun of neopronouns, but I don’t think that’s accurate anymore. Dragon Rider used to go by Dragon Fucker and uses “drag” as drag’s only pronoun, and like I used to, a bunch of people thought drag was just a troll. But if it’s a bit then there’s nothing to the bit other than a weird pronoun, drag just seems like a decent person from what I’ve seen. Drag also made a very genuine looking post about drag’s struggles with mockery and disrespect, mainly from .world users and admins, and drag’s struggle to avoid self harm over it. I think Dragon Rider is a cool person and people (including me) should give drag the benefit of the doubt, or at least avoid drag and don’t be an asshole if you don’t like drag.

I think drag also once told someone who was feeling suicidal about the state of the world that they should fight rather than killing themself, and a bunch of people took it in cartoonishly bad faith and now say drag told someone to kill themself. Bc nothing screams “kys” quite like “don’t kys, you can do some good”

For example I’m gonna preorder the new Fatal Fury game even though I’m not super confident in SNK to put out a functional game, but I know it’ll have fun gameplay and worst case scenario it’ll get fixed in a while. Being able to download early is worth for me even if I won’t download in time to play early, and worst case scenario it’s completely nonfunctional and I just refund it until it works
