There is a spector haunting Lemmy, the spector of trans people that disagree with you.
Liberals on Lemmy are ridiculously fast to let fly all sorts of conspiracy theories if it means discrediting any trans people to the left of them. Worse still, is that this behaviour is reinforced by Lemmy mods, look at this ban Cowbee copped for the crime of being allegedly uncivil to this transphobe:
Every day, I’m glad for you fuckers building at least this tiny queer safespace on the internet. Death to the cis, etc.
Just read the libs’ reaction to this interaction on sh.itjust.works (TW: lots of transphobia) and sh.it’s just absolutely awful. Just and endless stream of victim-blaming and doubling down on their transphobic crap.
It’s pretty much just the top comment that’s somewhat decent (except the last paragraph). The rest of the users (including the fucking admin) have no shame at all handwaving all the bigotry away, some even saying stuff that’s way more transphobic than Yerbouti’s.
Fuck this is depressing!
Abbreviate shitjustworks and you immediately realise why there is absolutely no reason engaging with anyone on that particular lemmy. The abbreviation is not an accident.
You mean SJW? Is that really the origin of that name? Wow.
On the brightside, this absolute gem came out of it (no CW needed):
“Cowbee isn’t just another tankie. He knows his theory and will use it to dazzle you with bullshit.”
I’ve heard the phrase “baffle with bullshit” before but never “dazzle with bullshit”
I know, it’s more flattering and gives me pizazz
This has to be the greatest compliment a lib can give. “Do not trust this trickster spirit, they will use a vast knowledge ancient magicks to trick you into disagreeing with the US State Department”
I know, I kinda want to put it in my bio but I’m not that self-interested. Wanted to share it because others might find it funny like I did lol
Um, is that a quote from you? or did someone else say it?
CW: thread full of transphobia: link
cowbee verified only leftist on hexbear
Truth be told I kinda hate that I’m getting some degree of enioyment out of the absolute terror I seem to strike in the hearts of the MWoG weirdos, when at the same time these people are genuinely defending and fighting for their rights to not only be transphobic, but enforce that.
Yeah, I had to chuckle at that one as well. That’s just such a weird thing to say, even when you have
.
“Enemy is weak yet strong” shenanigans. I somehow have a multifaceted reputation as being “contradictory,” yet “knowing theory.” Some other banger responses to my ban:
“Alright thanks good to know. Thank you for taking such action. I have rarely seen someone acting so innocent yet at the same time being so disingenuous.”
Which part was disingenuous? I spent the majority of that thread calling out transphobia, do they think I did that for personal gain?
“That guy is so annoying with his faux-neutrality/naivety. What a phony, good riddance.”
From the same person that went on a Sephiroth rant about how Hexbear is bigoted, then ran to MWoG to
CW: Transphobia
Complain about a conspiracy theory of Russia and China “transing the youths” to create radicals against the United States.
Incredibly, deeply unserious people.
Then at least let me, for a bit of a change, tell you that I’m glad that you’re a part of this community. You’re awesome!
Aww, thanks comrade
They really love just making shit up and expect no one to check, don’t they?
Why stop when it’s still working fine?
They sure do love their conspiracy theories.
The same people: “what do you mean blue maga, definition? Debatemedebatemedebatemedebateme”
Same admin who was butthurt over people hating on
in a different thread
I’ve never seen liberals be that much of a debate pervert, except on r/destiny. Caught me completely off-guard.
