Which is also why comparing tech.lgbt to kiwifarms is so awful: Ro's argument seems to be that tech.lgbt's criticism of him catalyzed an unrelated contingent of virulent racists to direct racist harassment at him in side channels, and the DDoS of him might have knocked him off the platform, therefore tech.lgbt is the same as kiwifarms. The problem is that while kiwifarms actively directs and encourages and intentionally drums up and keeps scoreboards for and aids and abets transphobic harassment, as an intentional thing that they as a community are doing themselves and are actively supporting and encouraging, tech.lgbt just criticized a black person with no knowledge that he was black at the time and unrelated racists, without their support or encouragement or desire or intention, even stochastically(!!!), used it as an excuse to harass him because guess what, racists will use any and every excuse possible to cover their harassment. So like, it isn't the same thing at all. Tech.lgbt definitely doesn't have a high score kill count for black people the way kiwifarms does for trans people, which also indicates another important and very significant with difference which is that the end goal of kiwifarms is to kill people and they use stalking and tracking and actually bring weapons and bombs in person at people to do it whereas the worst thing that the harassment directed at Ro might have achieved, according to him, is getting him to leave the platform.
