So, long story short, /u/laurelai was /is an extremely online trans MtF who was also a powermod back in the day (idk if xe's still active in reddit). Better historians than me have archived her several deeds so I'll not rehash those. In case you're unaware, here's some quick links on Laurelai

( For the severely neurodivergent )Xe also has her own 6 gorillion word thread on 🥝 farms
===================================
Anyway, coming back to the agenda of this particular post, about 9 years ago, Laurelai, after getting xer first ban on Reddit (on SRS of all places,
her turboautism was too much even for SRS) made a melodramatic post about how she's totes depressed on a trans site called transadvocate. The article is aptly titled: "Sometimes it doesn't get better":
Sometimes it doesn’t get better, sometimes life shit on you until you break and there’s nothing you can do. I’m not going to lie to you and tell you it gets better because it might not get better, but i do want to tell you one thing.
Even if it never gets better you are worthy. You are worthy of love and respect and compassion and a fair chance and human dignity, your value as a human being is not taken from you ever. Not ever. No matter what life does to you, no matter how broken you are, no matter what mental illness you have, no matter what job you do, even if you have no job.
Honestly the whole thing could be a good snappy quote and I implore you to read it in its entirety.
Since laurelai was already a notorious personality by this point, /r/drama got hold of this post
It was just yet another run-of-the-mill /r/drama post when suddenly laurelai showed up to defend herself by posting proof that her long hair is natural and not a wig and that she has been taking estradiol religiously so her tro0nsformation is complete.

But look closely, and you see a YouTube link at the very end. It's supposedly a 10 minute monologue on what laurelai thought of a filthy fascist infested place called /r/drama and why they were bullying and being a meanie to xer

Xe deleted the video and I can't find it anywhere on archive.org, archive.ph or ghostarchive
Even srdines were over laurelai's exhausting self-pitying

It's amusing that folks are still confused about what an actual 'powermod' is.
It's not (and never was) those like this laurelai person. Denying them the distinction is both accurate and the highest insult you can issue.
Suck my peepee, laurelai. You're not of the classical cloth.

xe may not be a powermod, but he's the first extremely-online eternally butthurt train I had the displeasure of witnessing, back when I barely knew what a reddit was.

Agreed. The biggest sub she ever got her grubby stumpy hands on was /r/LGBT and that wasn't even that big at the time. She did do a good job infiltrating the trans subs and antiwork under her bimbo account but we all know how that went. I wouldn't call her a powermod either.
