Not sure which post you're talking about, but in general, yeah. Any kind of excusing of transphobia is 100% not tolerated here. I'm not a mod of this particular community, but please use the report button if you see anything like this happening.
I did report it. The problem is many of these arguments come clothed in the fabric of politeness. Similar to how white nationalists have tried to persuade me by calling me "brother" and speaking kindly, it might not be immediately apparent to someone why these arguments are harmful. After all, the person is being "polite," and the person who responds appropriately often seems like the unhinged one.
It's by design.
yaps loudly in agreement about how fucked it is that people pointing out a problem get blamed for being the real problem by privileged asshats!
Avoiding "bad words" and "hostility" doesn't mean a person is good or nice. Sometimes hostility is justified or at the very least has a point.
Yup. And Beehaw is already doing the thing I predicted they'd do back during the Reddit blackouts: They allow polite genocide endorsements but warn/suspend/ban people who tell those people to fuck themselves because we're not "being nice". Shocked Pikachu when Beehaw ends up being no different from shit-just-works.
if you were going to make this argument and sustain it i'm not sure this thread supports your argument. there are like 20 comments in here telling transphobes to go fuck themselves and exactly one actual ban has been levied total (against a transphobe)
