Massive HN thread arguing about whether trans vegan death cult is right-wing or left-wing

You ever notice that all the other demographics get to whine about "blood libel" but when mayos get accused of bullshit like the smallpox blanket thing we're supposed to pretend it's real?

the SF Bay Area, which is known for being one of the most accepting places in the world for LGBT people

I live in the Bay. Maybe that is true, but in absolute terms the level of acceptance is still very low. Like, if Denver is 10% accepting, the Bay might be 15%. Or something like that.

If you're gay and people in San Fransisco don't like you, it's probably because you're doing something wrong.

If the gender identities of the Zizians aren't being brought up in the mainstream press, it's likely because it isn't relevant to the story. Responsible reporting includes not bringing up details that could encourage moral panic or hate crimes if they aren't demonstrably relevant to the story. This kind of "well actually" response is really no different than the racist complaints people make in the comments of every crime story that failed to mention how black the accused was, when race wasn't a factor, and nobody ever cares when the accused is white.

Virtually every time I see someone ever use the term "moral panic" it's because they're doing something evil. But what would I know? I think that since the odds of these people just happening to all be s is about 0.01^6 it may not be a coincidence.

Anyway, I better stop now because I'm gonna notice too much. What in the frick is wrong with our society that people can say stuff this insane and everyone is supposed to walk around on eggshells pretending to take it seriously?
