yeah, it's a tale as old as time. Speaking of tales, I remember back in college there was this one weird nerdy guy that I knew, friend of a friend of a friend type situation. We spoke a handful of times when hanging out with other folks we knew, but I never really got to know him that well.

One day, he just decided to troon out, seemingly randomly. After talking with some other folks about what happened, long story short, it was some stupid catty bullshit. This fucking faggot forsook his one friend bc he "wasn't on the up and up" when it came to politics (aka he liked making racist jokes). Now bear in mind, this fag ALSO enjoyed saying nigger and making those kinds of jokes as well! Oh, but now you can't point out his hypocrisy because now he's a troon now! Immune to criticism! Respect my pronouns you racist bigot!

As I said, I never really knew the guy, but it always seemed to me like he got along with most people. The fact that he was willing to dump his friend, and possibly more, for the approval of some twisted invisible cadre disgusts me to no end. I'm sure it goes without saying, but a friendship shouldn't be sacrificed like that.

my anecdote aside, I appreciate yours and everyone's insights on this situation.
