I don’t think the person on the left’s a transphobe, but I also don’t think they understand the scale of the harassment trans people face on a daily basis. Like it’s so bad the users would rather just have potential trolls ignored and downvoted than to see well meaning cis people come in and do vigilante justice using the same tactics of abuse trans people go through every day.

That empathetic disconnect looks like transphobia to some users. I don’t know that the users are right, but I understand how you reached that conclusion, especially with the person on the left’s days-long soapbox crashout about how despotic Ada is.

    You literally made a meme calling out a specific user. The meme explains that if you see a user behaving in a way you don’t like to just report, ignore, and let the mods handle it instead of issuing vigilante justice.

    Would you consider this post ignoring the user you don’t like and letting the mods handle things or would it be vigilante justice?

        especially with the person on the left’s days-long soapbox crashout about how despotic Ada is.

        This is just generic commentary not directed at any user in particular?

          I’m not aware of the full story, nor am I being told anyone is a terrible person. I guess it’s an if-you-know-you-know scenario. I don’t think it’s villainising anyone.

            The OP has recently spent some time arguing with another user. The commentary by the OP is this comment by them except they changed the username to “the person on the left”.

            Nobody is a terrible person. I just think it’s hypocritical to say making posts like this isn’t the exact type of behaviour the server admins have requested users not engage in.

              I guess the other user appeared transphobic to a lot of people, and OP seems like they’re defending the user for being ignorant and not meaning any harm by it?

                OP also made this post yesterday in this community which was just a screenshot of this comment they made replying to the user they’re arguing with but this time their username was coloured out and changed to “a weird subset of people”.

                OP is just posting their arguments with another user.
