  • "You can’t know if someone is a dipshit until after you interact with them, btw." That you said that is kinda at odds with what you are saying now.

    If you are going to treat all members of a group as being the same as the worst members you have met then you are just choosing to be a bigot.

    The issue isn't trans people as a whole. It's also not even close to half of trans people. There is something unique about your situation.

  • Uh-huh. You clearly have some emotional beef with either John or the topic. Since twitter is made for anyone to share their random thoughts there is nothing out of line or arrogant of him using the platform for it's intended purpose. So we can either accept that you are not bright enough to know what twitter is or we can very reasonably assume that what's really got you worked up is you don't like people standing up for trans people...or you have that secret beef with John. You want to frame ridiculing bigots as "small minded". That's also telling about you. You do have an opinion on the topic. That's what caught your eye and compelled you to make your nonsense comments.

  • Yeah painting all trans people that way is nonsense. It gets pretty close to bigotry territory. I gotta wonder where you live or what kind of choices you are making to surround yourself with that many unhinged people. Where I'm at I've encountered zero trans people that act like you've described.

  • According to you he stepped out of line for having the audacity to post his thoughts on a platform made for posting thoughts. The truth is it's not his ego that you have an issue with it's that one topic.

  • That you asked that question like it makes any sort of sense tells us that you already have some specific aspect of the vast array of topics that could be covered under "the LGBTQ movement" in mind. So why don't you tell us what exactly rustles your jimmies and then we can help you sort if you are a bigot or not.

  • I think your post would greatly benefit from an introductory paragraph preparing readers for what to expect. As it is the title and current first paragraph don't convey the gist of what your post is about or why anyone should care about or read it and given it's length most people are not going to give it the time to try and put that info together on their own.

  • Yeah I found it there too. I think I was there for the start of all the drama. I didn't find the way she handled the the whole thing appealing either but I saw some of the initial harassment and the bans from the mods that followed. I think the bans were appropriate for the harassment. The thing I noticed that followed that was a bunch of sock puppet accounts that would show up and post the "not funny" comments. That was all they posted. Eventually people caught on to that and many of those got banned too but the pattern was carried on by others. I don't fault her for not reacting gently to people who's only contribution is to show up in her posts to tell her that she isn't funny. What's the point of an interaction like that? Also that it exactly echoed the sock puppet accounts always felt suspicious. It seemed to me that the normal reaction to a comic that doesn't appeal is to be disinterested and scroll on. That is what I see for most comics that just don't cut it, tumbleweeds in the comments. The compulsion to post about not liking it so consistently in her comics seems unique.
