I think it's interesting how it goes from dripping acid insults to "lol it was just a joke, I didn't really mean it".
Tough shit. Enjoy the consequences of your actions. Just like people trolling with Nazi iconography to trigger people: your intentions are irrelevant. You want to cosplay as a sexist, fascist, or racist asshole? You'll be treated as one.
reference to abusers in the abstract
@fortyseven IMO the more telling part is how they say they've "apologized" but still don't actually take responsibility; trying to claim that actually the responsible party is the one who reported them, and clearly not looking to repair harm but just to make the problems go away.
This is such a common pattern in abusers, trying to turn the blame on the person holding them to account through a non-apology ("I did everything and you're still complaining, you're the unreasonable one!"), and I wish it was more widely recognized.
