I am so, so damn tired of the violent outrage culture prevalent in many parts of online activist culture, especially birbsite. Very often, you see somebody riffing on their own *projection* of what somebody else has said.

Current example:
twitter.com/dramaqueer_n/statu

The whole thread is based on the false assumption that the other party said "being a trans woman is comparably marginalized as being an adoptive parent". And a really, really short exchange, too.

@natanji Hey, could you maybe consider putting toots like this one behind a CW (e.g. CW: birdsite, ranting)?

Lots and lots of "Hey all, look at this person who has bad views" is one of the main reasons I mostly left birdsite for mastodon. Seeing it over here also makes me uncomfortable. So I'd really appreciate if you could CW it. Thanks!

@aekis @natanji oh yes, I would second that - thanks for pointing it out! :)
