Nothing like seeing comments calling trans people the "Karens of the lgbtq community" with tons of upvotes to make you feel nice and welcome. Even the not transphobic person that the reports were about showed up to kindly let us know that every trans woman they know has a huge chip on their shoulder.
Edit: I remembered that this instance disables downvoting. This is the exact reason I've always been a fan of downvotes. If a mod won't remove transphobic content, at least you know that the community around you disagrees with them.
Yeah, that thread is awful. The original comment it's all about doesn't even matter. That mod shouldn't have posted something like that, the comment section is a great reason why. I do not know why 196 just randomly becomes cool with bigotry when it's against trans people advocating for themselves. It's all "Riots are cool, fight for respect!" until they have to reconcile with having a white, western, neoliberal worldview in the face of someone they hold power over.
They're literally doing the Bo Burnham "Socko" bit without any of the irony.
