I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

being trans is not an extreme trans people have existed all throughout history and being trans is not a choice asking people to respect their pronouns is not Orwellian. if you call someone something they don't want to be called that is rude and disrespectful nobody was being arrested for this you can be a bigot if you want but bigotry having consequences like getting fired is not censorship should people never get fired for being rude? is it compelled speech to expect a cisgender person be called by their preferred pronouns? if someone kept calling a cisgender woman a man and they got fired for that is that Orwellian? why is it different just because they are trans? just call people what they want to be called.

also nice stereotyping all trans-woman as being "hairy gorillas" totally not hateful this is also not what pushed maga to power most people just don't care about trans issues and kamala harris didn't even bring this up during her campaign. what I think lost them the campaign is because they didn't really have anything to offer except "at least we aren't the republicans" they completely ignored working class issues and pretended that everything was fine and that the issues that the working class were experiencing were not real. of course people weren't excited to vote for them.
