@emilis @sampo kinda the problem is that cancel culture is hard channeling the worst elements of humanity (mob justice, irrational response with no interest in investigations or is actively hostile to investigation, fascistic us vs them to the extreme) which is totally fine for the people in charge of everything right now but is actually kind of a huge problem overall :cirno_sip:
they’re not even being put on a show trial for things they did they’re literally being punished for stuff that looks extremely false flaggy.
we’re intended to believe that 1) they hate transexuals, yet 2) they tried to get the police to murder a congresscritter that is supposed to also be anti-trans, based on … some anonymous phone call that could have been anyone. that makes no sense considering MTG agrees with what we’re supposed to understand KF’s politics are. i could literally do a bomb threat right now from a pay phone and just say i’m from puff place. wouldn’t mean shit.
then while actively encouraged to find an excuse to go after the site, they happen to exactly find one within a 20 minute window that it was available. from an account that has virtually zero activity on the site other than posting the perfectly gift wrapped threat they screenshot just in time to claim the forum was escalating violence.
by the way it’s not the first time; the same people did that to 8chan. “suddenly” a schizopost appears, is deleted by mods within the hour, but all the relevant authorities miraculously got copies of it and did their little dances about how this one particular gift wrapped event was all the proof they needed :blobcatwaitwhat2: it’s literally the same fucking playbook over and over again.
an incredibly cynical person might ask why if these places are so intolerably bad they can’t be properly brought up on harassment charges for things they did do and have to be star chambered using literally the thinnest possible evidence anyone could fabricate half asleep :blobcatglare2:
