Comet Mystic

so, let's go over a small amount of context, for the class:

• over the course of a year, a wave of people get increasingly bold with their transmisogyny on the blue website, culminating in a massive shitstorm that gets dozens and dozens of trans women ejected unceremoniously and undeservedly from the website either by staff or by choice
• those women appear here, along with a lot of their friends, and talk about the nightmare experience they've just had
• several people get Very Uncomfortable with this, because of course you see said nightmare experience was largely the fault of a group of tme trans people, and to talk about (or worse, vent about) the situation was introducing Discourse into their otherwise quite tranquil little pond
• some of them, in their infinite wisdom, decide to go up to the traumatized primary target of the previously-mentioned mass harassment wave and feel that it's an appropriate course of action to start an argument about how she's actually the transphobic one against trans men, or whatever, and get jumpscared when she spits something mean back at them (the classic "kys 👍" combo)
• i, and several other trans women, watch this happen and get, rightfully, Pissed As Fuck about it what with having just witnessed this entire thing already play out once (with several of us also having been, yknow, secondary victims of the situation)
• the people who thought it was a Grand idea to get in rita's face then decide that it'd be Even Better to keep the party train rolling, searching for posts and users that they can Also start bombarding with bad-faith argumentation
• i, personally, wake up this morning (read: it was like 4 pm, listen my sleep is fucked) with like 45 notifications or something, a hefty chunk of which are all multi-paragraph bad-faith comments on basically anything i've said at all in the past day and a half
• making the choice to not get bogged down in stupid debate club style nonsense, i block someone in particular who is absolutely flooding my comments section and clearly antagonizing me on purpose
• said person then Immediately block evades (and i mean immediately, like, within 10 minutes) to send me an anon message continuing said antagonism
• i spit something mean back at them (the classic "kys 👍" combo)

but, yeah, you know if we delete literally the first 9 bullet points here then maybe you have a point. guess i'll think better next time
