But I will say this, a movement can’t get along without a devil, and across the whole political spectrum there is a misogynistic tendency to choose a female devil, whether it’s Anita Bryant, Hillary Clinton, Marie Antoinette, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or J.K. Rowling [or Taylor Swift]. And there’s always gonna be people who seize on any opportunity to be misogynistic. So I would advise trans people and our allies [or environmentalists] to keep in mind, that J.K. Rowling [Taylor Swift] is not the final boss of transphobia [anti-environmentalism]. She’s not our devil. The devil is the Republican Party, the Conservative Party.

    I’m not reading?

    My very first comment:

    she undeniably was doing it way too much and for way too short distances

    So if you’ve agreed with me the whole time, why have you been arguing?

      If you cannot grok my literal first comment to you, youve been arguing in bad faith this whole time.

      Im. Not. Swifts. Feet. Fuck. Off.

        Again, we’re in agreement. Why are you arguing with me?

        I don’t get it. Do you want me to not agree with you?

            Believe it or not, I don’t have to do what you order me to do.

            Also believe it or not, you can stop replying to me at any time. That you haven’t proves that you don’t actually want me to fuck off.

            We’ll see if you continue to prove that. All you have to do to show I’m wrong is not respond.

            On the other hand, you could explain why you’re arguing with me when we agree.

                Thanks for proving me correct. I’m not a mod in this community. I’m not sure why you think I am.

                Also, please quote the racist thing I said. Unless that was a lie, of course. Personally, I think it was a lie. You can prove me wrong on that one too.

                  Cool, so now the racist mod harassing me demands I stop bringing up the racist things they said, while they harass me.

                  Fuck off

                    Are you actually trying to gaslight me into agreeing with you that I’m a mod on 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone and that I’m a racist? Because this is pretty pathetic.
