   I keep seeing this thing pop up on my timeline and my issue is that I can't find the genesis statement, only people fixating on a response of the event (which frankly checks out - and again, reading/knowledge of the past defends it).

   The fact, for me, is that since it seems to be a singular event put against a wave of things and that one event is being enough to shut someone down but not the wave of other events getting nary a mention (thus scoping the conversation to a very narrow lens) is making me squint at this. It feels like it's devolved into a nearly tit-for-tat situation, especially from a more populous group in the space (by numbers alone).

     What do you do then when people routinely negate humanity? When they do it ad nauseum? I'm still looking for the genesis point of this because it's easier to find the wall of statements from the defending party (which, NGL, is not being looked at; maybe until this is discerned then they'll look at holding that person accountable? Are they even accountable to everyone? Who IS this person?)

     There's a reason only one bit of my identity is mentioned here on here and it's the one I can't really hide without a lot of bleach (and even then). There's those with identities who aren't so invisible either.

     TBH, this is also part of a bigger thing with online spaces, identity management and community accountability. No one can be made to be held responsible for anyone else (there's no levers for that in our tools, that has to be done however deemed fit), most people on here might ONLY know people VIA these spaces (which creates the same paradigm akin to Stan culture in terms of folks with only a stint of understanding rushing to defend someone else). And, worst of all, IMO, people cannot be explicit and verbose in constrained mediums (with the idea of transformative justice) so it cycles more and more into resentment like none other.
