people are hating on @predstrogen for "bringing tumblr attitudes to cohost" and it's just fucking dawned on me that was the exact thing people said when i was The Discourse Of The Week on here. and that was over a fucking Twitter-themed CSS post generator.
didn't even cross my mind once at the time but now i cannot fucking help but reevaluate the backlash i got. how much of the issue was me "bringing Twitter vibes to Cohost" and how much of it was a style of posting you didn't like from a gobby tranny who didn't match the vibes but still gained traction??
either:
- people on cohost fucking hate trans women
- people on here are so concerned with maintaining the "Vibes" of Cohost that they're willing to repeatedly make trans women feel alienated
and i'd honestly rather it was point number 1. at least then it's just straight-up transmisogyny. but it's looking more like point number 2: a lot of people on here value ~Vibes~ over, y'know, actual real people. Vibes are more important than *checks smudged note* Tranned Womens
