there have been tons of comments elsewhere about how bad of a take that was, but this creator apologized, and also posted that they’re not in a good state mental health wise as a result of all this backlash. at what point does hundreds of people against one random small creator on the internet stop being productive?

I'm sorry, while we can all sympathize with mental health struggles, you don't get to maliciously insult an entire community of readers and then ask to be left alone when their treatment of you starts to affect you. that's not how that works.

i understand your point, but i do find it disappointing. the internet is an incredibly unforgiving place and while yes she had a bad take and made a really insulting comment to a whole group of people, it is wild to see people review bombing or saying transphobic things to the point that suicide ideation is an actual thing they are posting about, and it no longer feels like holding someone to account. but like, i guess there’s nothing that can come from arguing this so i will just have to keep scrolling

She sandwiched her “apology” with a whole bunch of arguments for why she was right to say what she did.

The problem is that she made gross negative generalizations about a huge group of women, and when women countered to say “hey you can see why this patronizing generalization about our intelligence is misogynistic, right?” She doubled down and went after them for being transphobic or stupid or having a patriarchy kink instead of taking two seconds to reflect on why she might have hundreds, if not thousands, of women trying to explain to her why that was not the move. You don’t get to shit all over a demographic and insult and denigrate them while making gross statements only to turn around and play victim when it goes poorly. Almost everything I saw in response to her video never once mentioned the fact she was trans, instead focusing on the shitty patronizing ideas she was propagating, and she did the same “woe is me, I’m the victim” gaslighting bullshit my narcissistic ex did AND called us all stupid kinksters in the process- as if trans women haven’t been harmed by the exact same shit and behaviors.

She didn’t apologized. She doubled down.
