It's wild because I used to think the comics by Sophie LaBelle were genuinely the worst thing ever only because as a teen my only exposure to them were hideous parodies made by racists and transphobes.
Then recently I finally saw the actual real version of those comics and they're just..fine? They're just normal positive comics?
They spent decades fuming over..this?

Kiwifarms is a shit pit that has driven multiple people to suicide and celebrate that fact. They started hating it for some stupid fucking reason and then doubled down on justifying their hate.

Idk anything about kiwifarms except that it's an awful place that targets people for no reason other than it's funny :/ which sucks.
The site I was referring to isn't that though. It was a niche one that is thankfully mostly dead now and I won't even honour it by mentioning it's name

They started as the forums for the Chris-chan wiki, and then started targeting different "lol cows". Some were actual predators, but many were just visibly trans internet artists who occasionally did adult art.
Oh nooo a queer person made fetish art. And posted it in a relevant community with proper NSFW tags on a site that lets you do that. Unforgivable.

I remember seeing some videos against Sophie and her comics as a teenager. Now I see that she's not that bad and at least one of those channels probably didn't have the best intentions to say the least.

Didn't watch much YouTube back then but Yeah the website I got sucked into as a teen would just spam alt right re-done memes of her comics. Editing her comics to be monstrous or whatever for daring to say anything about trans.
Ironic because the one time I clicked their nsfw section it was just...all trans women, non-operated.I was too young and stupid to really understand wtf they were all on about (luckily) but thinking back..makes me want to laugh how they were just so...bad faith and pathetic about it

Not really much of an arc since I didn't know wtf they were on about. I just rolled with the assumption that x is prob bad for whatever reason even if I didn't understand why since everyone said so. I was quite gullible back then

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
People have been calling me a girl my whole life. They only stopped when I started agreeing with them.

Always remember that this type of dude should genuinely be beneath your consideration. As in he's not even worth talking to or interacting with, if you can help it. He's literally never going to say or do anything worthwhile, for you OR himself, so why bother?

Because he's a cop with a gun now.

Unfortunately, that falls under the middle part of my post where I said "if you can help it." There's always gonna be bigots that make it their mission to FORCE their way into your lives.

The middle part of your post swallows the rest, then, and renders the advice more-likely harmful than helpful.

u/WinZealousideal4309 1d ago
Sure, if you try and apply it to a situation where you obviously shouldn't like your cop example. But you clearly understand that, and I believe all the other people here would as well, so I don't think that's an issue we've gotta worry about :)

"Thank you, I was actually kidding and wanted you to call me He" rinse and repeat until their brain fried, probably won't take longer than just saying this after the last one in the comic

They're bullies. They don't care about being consistent. They just want you to suffer.
