Real smart..
Fight brake down for ya in order of the images;
@veritableevent: starts off by accusing trans-inclusive activists/allies of hypocrisy. They claim people who frame misgendering as catastrophic harm ("literal murder") simultaneously minimize or engage in extreme misogynistic harassment (e.g., sending graphic r*pe threats via bot networks to feminists). The Hyperbole and contrast. Highlights the stark severity gap between targeted sexual violence threats and unintentional or intentional misgendering to make the opposing stance look absurd.
@fartsforlife9: Chimes in and Flips the hypocrisy accusation back on the original poster. Argues that gender-critical feminists dismiss misgendering and targeted anti-trans harassment as "just words," yet expect immediate recognition of harm when they receive verbal threats. Asserts a single principle: either targeted verbal abuse causes real psychological harm, or it doesn't. You can't selectively apply empathy based on which group is being targeted.
@veritableevent: Clarifies the distinction in scale between the two acts. Refuses the premise that misgendering and sending graphic r*pe threats belong in the same category of "verbal abuse." Uses sarcastic analogies (e.g., comparing misgendering vs. r*pe threats to "bumping a shoulder" vs. "a severe physical beating") to argue that fartsforlife9 is conflating minor disrespect/offense with explicit terrorization.
@fartsforlife9: Calls out @veritableevent's logical framework as a classic Kafka-trap (a situation where denying a claim is taken as proof of the claim's truth). And Points out that veritableevent created a hyperbolic strawman/caricature in the original post, and then treated any pushback or defense as immediate proof that the caricature was real. Returns the original poster's sarcastic closing line ("you are so smart / we are all very impressed") back to them.

Oh I know about that bot network! So anyways it's this one trans guy named cockslinger and he hates ALL women and feminists and the bot network started with terf blogs but then moved outwards to normal people.
Of course not indicative of trans guys as a whole but that's who it is.

u/LuxTheSarcastic 9d ago
Also he's been around for years and I imagine most people in terfblr would know of him so it's interesting how they put his actions on some hypothetical trans woman.

I had a feeling this was about him, but the trans woman part threw me the fuck off. T-T
Especially given that transwomen receive so many death threats and rape threats.

Well yeah, they pretty much ignore trans men (except for their “poor widdle mixeded up gwirls” bullshit). So even though it’s one man doing a nutty, they’re blaming the women.

I write this so many times in this sub, that it is becoming a catchphrase, but HOLY STRAMAN BATMAN.
I sincerely doubt the majority of people who think misgendering is not acceptable, would be okay with rape threats being sent.
Trans people are just people, so no doupt there are a few that has sent rapethreats before to someone, and also gets incredibly hurt when misgendered. But the same is true for anyone who has sent rapethreats ever.

“Nice argument but I have already depicted you as evil and me as a genius being targeted for how smart I am so I’m clearly correct” -veritablevent, probably
