I just know they're gonna say all the bad ones are fake accounts now, but this was a fantastic exposé nonetheless.

Wow! That person really did show that Peddit will allow anything that makes a penis happy.

Some of, I’m assuming his, his posts were seriously a lot.

Luckily he was shot down sometime by good people, but other times the penis parade celebrated his phallis.

I dont get it. Some of these trans people think theyre in the CIA and behave weirdly. They wear capes and think they "infiltrate" groups and do weird "psy ops".

Was this genuinely a fake account? Why the incredibly weird confession? Or was it some trans person doing their little "psy ops", pretending to be trans and then saying theyre not trans so they can try and invalidate every single bad thing a trans person said on the internet because then theyre all potentially non trans people?

What i dont get is the weird confession with the cringy, "it is I, dear friends..a non trans pretending to be one! behold!" lol

Who? I never even saw that user.

I have RES, and it shows me everyone I've upvoted/downvoted/tagged over the years. That user isn't on my radar at all.

Some of our users may dislike me for saying this, but I don't care. If you are following a user account and using it as evidence for your contrary beliefs, you are the hateful one, and you need some introspection and self-awareness.

You, you as a fellow human being ... YOU are targeting one single anonymous internet person, and using their experience to represent an entire demographic and justify your cause. You are deliberately spreading fear and hate towards an entire demographic because you think one person exemplifies your personal belief.

You are the bully now. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I believe this was the person who made up that story about cornering a little girl and not letting her leave, then calling her mom a terf. This person had a huge amount of karma on reddit and their racist, misogynistic, pedophilic views were widely supported.

That is correct. I never posted this person's actual user account name, although I did refer indirectly to it a few times because it seemed so horrible. Kinda relieved it is not real.

Kinda relieved it is not real.

Me too, though it's still not as bad as some of the shit Yaniv has done.

Appreciate you showing the nasty/dark side of us too. We need to be real and honest, and address it.

Yeah, I don't agree with this person's methods, but it does kind of prove their hypothesis (somewhat): violent content can still be upvoted in trans communities, and that trans identity acts as a shield for bad behavior. If you look carefully you'll see that a lot of this account's posts were not upvoted and some were strongly downvoted, so the outcome of this "experiment" is a bit more mixed than the author is asserting. However, it still does prove a point.

Although I can only speak for myself, I don't think those of us who were following the user account saw it as typical. It was more, this person is obviously a threat and why won't anybody say anything about it? Again, the point is not that trans people are all this bad (I believe most trans people are OK, especially if they are not making ridiculous demands). However, the trans ideology, in its current form, does allow a monster to hide behind a trans identity. It just so happens that this particular monster was not real.

Yes, and? That could be basically everyone on Reddit, it's filled with stories like that. Reddit and social media is biased with what can/cannot be talked about, and therefore corrupted.

My point is that if users blindly believe whatever stories that a user shares, and don't question, they are just as culpable. Doesn't matter if they agreed or disagree, it's the unquestioning dogmatism that is the problem.

Many of us were expressing skepticism on the original post because it was so outrageous. Either way, the person was supported by the reddit trans community, which is very telling.

Was this post taken down or something? I'm unable to vote on it.
