I just want to stress, AGAIN, how wild these white folks are acting. This conversation had NOTHING TO DO with TBS or Ro. This thread was originally about dair and their experience getting immediately blocked by tech.lgbt over a false accusation of antisemitism WRT critiquing Israel.

And then, UNPROMPTED, the admin of tech.lgbt starts talking in DMs to another admin about how Dr. Gebru criticizing antiblackness reminds him of Ro and The Bad Space, and complains about how Black folks speak out about antiblackness, and by the way how much he hates Ro.

This starts a bunch of other BIPOC going into the original thread, sharing their stories about how antiblack tech.lgbt has been to them too, and I add my experience to the pile and explain how much racism we had to deal with in the aftermath of suspending tech.lgbt bc white folks would keep jumping into our conversations about antiblackness to repeat racist disinfo about TBS.

And then, right on cue, no hesitation, what happens? A white transfemme I don't know jumps into our conversation to just drop a line about how she doesn't like TBS so it's understandable that people complain about it.

So many times this keeps fucking happening. BIPOC are critiquing a thing that white folks do, and then one of them does it again in response, with no self awareness whatsoever. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over I've seen it happen on here. And it just keeps happening.

Idk what it is about whiteness that keeps you from feeling any compassion or care for anyone who's different from you, but it's fucking aggravating. And pathetic. And embarrassing. And most of you have no idea. And it never stops....
