Obligatory "not today" disclaimer: actually fucked up over two decades ago, but found out today.

At the dawn of theinternet, I made an account on imgur. I figured (correctly) that I wasn't going to use it often enough for the username to matter much, so I just went with the first part of my email adress and a number four times.

Turns out that there is such a thing as nazi number code and it's never a good idea to use an even number of 8s for usernames when you're not a nazi.

TL;DR: Didn't know about nazi code, accidentally selected an imgur username ending with the equivalent of a double Hitler salute

You are showing your whole ass here. just spewing blatantly false and off-topic conservative fearmongering right after lying about how you don't worry about hate movements. Now it's clear why, you are part of one.

But just not to leave your bulshit unanswered

  1. The only people mutilating minors are intolerant parents and doctors who force intersex children to conform to binary sexes before they are old enough to make decisions for themselves. Children are not prescribed surgery. At most, trans kids get fully reversible puberty blockers to prevent the irreversible, deeply distressing effects that the wrong puberty would have on them. Which is the recomended treatment approved by medical organizations.

This whole argument of yours also reeks of "gay men have the same rights to marry a woman". Different people in different situations have different needs. Cisgender kids also get treatment for precocious and anomalous puberties, and nobody complains about that.

  1. Extreme right politicians have been gaining proeminence and pushing for persecution of minorities in the US, where I live in Brazil and all over the world. Whether they are under the label "nazi" or just act like them is a minor semantic distinction, but it sure doesn't help when they dress up like them and repeat their talking points verbatim (like a former Secretary of Culture in my country). If that's not enough for you the growing popularity of Alternative für Deutschland in Germany is as close as literal nazis as you'll find. Not to mention when they start talking about jewish people too.

And it's interesting the similarities between the current fearmongering against LGBT people with the nazi's own use of that, with the talk of "seduction of the youth". It's worth remembering that the nazi infamous book burns started with an institute that researched sexuality, including topics about gay and trans people. Like they say, history doesn't repeat but it often rhymes.

  1. The internet is definitely full of lies and edgy kids saying outrageous stuff for a laugh, but one thing that has become abundantly clear over the years is that many people are getting radicalize to either mean it for real, or to be willing to take the "joke" so far as to ruin people's lives, which is effectively identical. Yeah, a lot of people are lying, including they ones saying that they are just joking about it.

Politics and laws are already being actively affected by online extremism. It would be at best complete obliviousness pretending nothing being said matters, but at this point it's clear you are actively trying to deceive and gaslight, because you spelled out that you are for the persecution, and that's why you were soooo unconcerned by it.
