Just as a PSA for anyone who might need to hear it:
No queer person, player, or poster needs to justify their identity to anyone else, particularly not on a video game roleplay forum. Regardless of what bile people might post with regards to your self-identification, nobody knows yourself better than you.
You said so much horrible crap about trans people compared to someone cracking a joke they apologized for. You said a LOT about trans people. You basically invalidated them and said theyâre women abusers and all sorts.
That other guy apologized. You havenât. Youâre still trying to be ârightâ and instead are making yourself WORSE.
Donât worry, apart from these forums I barely interact with him at all. I met him on only one character as far as I can recall, during a tourney, and that encounter was okay. But, that was before he started spewing all his hot takes on the forums.
The thing is, with him, I always thought that he was never outright malicious but just misguided and dumb.
And this is why you dont deserve to use the term transphobe, youâll lie and weaken its meaning, youâll defend pronoun jokes over sports opinions, trans people deserve better than your representation, its so shameful that you would stoop so low.
Same until the horrific transphobic comments came out. Iâm appalled. like, I didnât think he was too bad until that. Now he wonât even say heâs wrong.
This is my mistake as well. When he first started to appear on the forums, I thought he was either very young, or just a but uneducated, but still with some good spirits.
That quickly changed. He has more than enough shown that he is a truly repulsive person at his very core.
I regret ever being nice to him or giving him the benefit of the doubt.
I used to think he was alright, just would have a few poor takes here and there. Iâd put him on a temp ignore and heâd calm down and seem normal.
Now? No. Perma ignore, heâs gone too weird.
