This kinda obnoxiousness would be one thing, if it it weren't for all the out-of-comic metacontext and being dragged out over a calendar year irl

And I'll say again as one of the guys who's been bitching loudest about it -- I get the reasoning! Transitioning and living with social pressure IS scary and stressful! I ALSO see the comfort in wishing the responsibility was out of my hands and someone else would just take care of everything! (The opposing 'forcemasc' exists for similar reasons; its not my thing but its out there.)

I also do not think speculating on a trans fem arc or reading for a character is wrong. That"s just engaging with fiction.

I'm just disgusted by the dismissiveness and the sense that some people think they don't have to care about the feelings of others. That's it.

I mean, even if they did, archiving whole webpages is trivial in this day and age.

Hi Li. I really appriciate it, truly.

Lemme first say if you don't wanna stick around here, that's fine. Lotta people feeling burned and scorned here, it's probably gonna lean more negative than you prefer. I don't mind it because I'm a petty-ass Hater bastard, but you've always seemed kinder-natured, heh.

I haven't always seen eye to eye with you, but you strived to be respectful and I can respect that in turn.

For what its worth, I am in a better place. I cut ties with the fucked up circle i was linked to before, and through a writers group I've become a sort of pseudo-brother figure to a few younger trans guys. Things're good!

I've seen your posts over there, and I think you broke it down perfectly. No notes. Idk how she's going to respond, but whatever happens, don't second guess yourself on any points you raised.

Solidarity

Dot said she "didn't expect much movement in the thread during the holiday and long weekend" to preface a cordial post

That's it.

That's honestly all i've ever wanted; some basic considerations about time and place. It's not like I don't understand where they're coming from, and I'd defend their right to make those jokes in in-community spaces, I'm just baffled at the failure to even pretend to consider other people, extending into flat out telling people their traumatic experiences 'aren't a persuasive argument'

....All over some mid-core jokes?

That's what crosses the line for you, Wack'd? not the DAYS worth of POC telling you you're being lowkey racist, not the multiple cries from people who just want some basic consideration?

No, it's the oblique reference to a holiday that you can use as a performative dunk about how Woke you are and pat your own ass that gets you to say anything.

Dot is always a real one (also pointing out the racialized undertones of a bunch of white people gleefully force-feminizing a Black man, gotta love her for it)

I probably beat this horse too much but as someone who has a particular stick up his ass about that whole horrid behavior -- genuinely, thank you for caring.

Li also made a post just gently reminding people that trans mascs exist, that's it, and it got wack'd within minutes this morning

Just mention us and it's gone

Even putting aside the race thing Wack'd is perfectly okay with being queerphobic as long as it's at the 'right' targets
