transphobia, mastodon.lol
so let me get this straight
1. trans folks posted spoilers to the antisemitic wizard game in protest of the game.
2. the admin of mastodon.lol decided to moderate them
3. he rightly and correctly got called a transphobe
4. and now he is throwing a giant tantrum, shutting down the server, deleting any account on his own server that criticises him, and is telling people to “kill your self”
5. he’s got an outpouring of support and sympathy from cis people anyway?
transphobia, mastodon.lol
this is a pretty big and obnoxious example of how a transphobe can just say “i’m not a transphobe” and cis people will *just believe them*
he did some obviously transphobic shit, got called out on it, and being called a TERF is overwhelmingly seen as the true crime here?

@joepie91 I like this post- i’ll have to slightly disagree with you on one point though, that the one decision absolutely is a transphobic action, and he might not be a TERF with all those trimmings but that inital moderation action, plus his reaction to being criticized absolutely does make him a transphobe.
