Btw, bigotry does not need to be conscious or intentional or malicious to be real and cause harm, and you can be transphobic even when you’re not trying to or believe you’re are not

    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.
