MODERATORS
Do you enjoy disappearing victims of violence into statistics?
No, they're a pearl clutching troll who likes to whatabout anything they see so they can feel morally superior to others they deem less-than.
Hmm, I wonder if there’s more to the story than a headline. But considering that your account is mostly just bad faith trolling, I somehow doubt you actually read any of the articles you comment on.
Go make the posts about starvation that you want to see instead of being a fucking weirdo on a thread about a murdered trans girl. Calling it nArCiSsIsTiC nAvEl GaZiNg to even acknowledge her murder is straight up transphobia. Fix your fucking heart.
Can you point to any previous comment of yours that brought this point up when the person who died wasn't trans? Have you ever said this in response to the death of a straight cisgender person? If so, please provide a link.
Something tells me you only feel this way when it involves the death of a member of vilified minority group.
So, can you do it? Can you provide even one example of yourself making a comment like this in the case of a straight cisgender person?
Okay, contributing is good but are you going to comment this on any post relating to an issue you don't care about?
Hmm, what did you think of this paragraph?
You didn’t read the article at all, did you? Do you post “what about starving kids” on every sad news story you see, or are you just here to shit on the idea that trans people’s suffering might ever deserve attention?
Are you posting any articles about genocide or homelessness? Because it looks like you’ve mostly been here to spot stupid COVID conspiracy shit.

you can't even get a general statistic right
says nothing about those people being children
most of them are in African areas that are considered a war zone (Sudan)
And if you want to make a point, you have to have accuracy or your point is shit and it relects on you as being a shitty communicator
In the context of the rest of your comments this sentence is mind blowing to me.
You argue about relevance and that the number really doesn't matter all that much and can't see why people criticize your argument about transgender people dying being not as relevant as non-transgender people dying?
