Can someone point me to the transphobia / racist information? Or whatever else is being alluded to constantly here. When or where was it posted?
just as I post a comment to the mod thread referencing to such info to ask about it, the thread is locked.
Edit: so far the only thing is 1 retweet of a very obnoxious article praising Richard Dawkins. Surely there is more?
???
Overall I agree with you I think. Just because someone could change in 2 years doesn’t mean this person did, and until there is a reason to think that happened, it’s just fan fic. It reminds me of conversations around Me Too where there’s an argument about whether or not anyone can ever “come back” after perpetrating by apologizing, making amends, reparative justice etc. The discussion is irrelevant because none of these people ever even attempt to do so.
Likewise any discussion of what this guy might be secretly thinking is irrelevant and boring. Fan fic pls go to archiveofourown.org
I’m also interested in this line of thought. When the assassination first happened everyone was hypothesizing that the killer would be upset about the suffering/death of a family member or something. Which would still be a revenge killing. But I have to admit when I heard it was about himself I found it a bit less… admirable.
Also am a bit confused given that his family is so wealthy, was insurance really the limiting factor for anything? Like the fact about back problems is a lot of them are kind of intractable. it’s just a shitty thing about human bodies. Money isn’t the issue. I’ve known people who bear decades-long grudges against doctors who refused them surgery or medications for such problems when the truth of the matter is that those treatments were unlikely to have been helpful and carried risk. I almost feel like a surgeon could just as easily have been the target of the attack given the available information.
