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.

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.
