It sounds like you just hate the content and are using the authors shit behavior as an excuse to talk shit about the content itself. Get some perspective.

Liking a story doesn't make the reader support all the viewpoints of the author. In many cases, the purchases were already made before her opinions were widely known. Just like how most of us probably inadvertently supported Wienstein before discovering what kinda monster he is, or the thousands of examples of bad people that produce content over the decades. I owned a bill Cosby album, and its still funny, but he's a monster.

Calling Joanne a shit person is incredibly dismissive of who she is and what she has done.

[-] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Sorry I didn't write enough vitriol to make you feel better? She's a hateful person. It's a YOU problem that you need other people to talk shit at a level that pleases you. I'm just here to support pirating an asshole's content if you feel the need to consume it.

It feels like too many people in this community want you to talk just...like...them. Its not enough to call a bad person a monster and an asshole who should be stolen from? Look inwards. You shouldn't waste time attacking me for not being angry enough in my messaging for your liking.

I dont get where this accusation that I am vitriolic is coming from, nor that I am asking you to be angry? I said that summarizing Joanne as a "shit person" puts her on par with like a guy at work who makes passively bigoted comments about his coworkers.

This is exactly what I have been talking about throughout this thread. People act like what she has done is just like, mildly bad or distasteful or something. Like she said a slur once or something. She is creating an international legal movement to attack my community. Thats an incredibly serious discussion to me.

You also didnt call her a monster, not in the comment I responded to anyhow. Its not a matter of my liking, its a matter of people downplaying the severity of who she is and what she has done. I've lost friends in the past 2 years due to rising hatred against our community. We live in fear of genocidal violence against us, and she is one of the loudest voices in the movement creating genocidal violence against us.

I dont understand where this defensiveness comes from for you, exactly. You and several other people here are acting like this is a casual difference of opinion when obviously to me and other people it isn't. I never insulted you, nor anyone else here. I have been upset and I have emphasized my opinion as this is obviously a subject that matters a lot to me. If you disagree with something I've said you can respond to it, instead of claiming that my issue is "you're not vitriolic/angry enough for my liking"?

I'd quote your whole post but what's the point?

[-] LadyAutumn 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Empathy isn't your strong suit is it. Nor apparently is carrying a serious conversation or responding to basic questions. Id love for you to point out what constitutes vitriol in that comment. Because no the comment as a whole is not vitriolic. I didnt call you names, I didnt insult you. I responded very deliberately and explained how I feel about this exact subject. Unless youre operating on a different definition of the word.
