apparently the core point is that it's a 'discussion' not a 'debate' and about general left vs right things rather than pure trans issues...Which like...ok? It feels like she's responding to just half the criticism there. Also the crazy 'feminism was what made transitioning bad' lady is the MODERATOR not a participant. Don't worry, Contra respects her so it'll be fine. e: and since it was asked https://twitter.com/ContraPoints/status/936064882956492800 the money is going right to them, yea sexpig by night fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Nov 30, 2017 |

I think...she genuinely doesn't understand the issues being raised? Like she seems to think 'walking into a trap' means people literally believe they're gonna...I guess dump pigs blood on her Carrie style and chant "loving COMMIE" at her? Also fuckin sweet. "No no they banned that ONE guy who hated jews, it's cool now"

You know before this I DIDN'T think this was a 'trap' for her but now seeing the "I'm almost 30" and this https://twitter.com/ContraPoints/status/936072595119706112 I'm now actually 100% sure she's entering a situation she's absolutely unaware of set up by malicious intent

Don't mind me, I'm just pleased that Contra isn't backing down from this because of the (frankly) utter bullshit and oftentimes abusive threats that she's been receiving over the past few days. Having been tracking all of it, I doubt this society of free speech people can do much worse than that.

Yeah it owns that she's helping the "Make Canada Great Again" people drum up interest for their "Come look at the degenerates!" sideshow, I can't wait for the Q&A part with the local frogmen. Anyone threatening her over this stuff is trash, but big note here, criticism from people who've lived this life a lot longer than she has is not threats.

I've posted a few times about how I think she's being naive about the people moderating the event -- I've probably said more than I really can justify saying because I don't know much about the event people even though what I've heard is super disturbing. I still think she shouldn't go. I've been lovebombed by anti-islam dudes a few times before and hanging out them at all is something I regret. I don't like that a lot of the people who appear to be fans of hers are turning around and saying viperish stuff like this: Don't spin my read as "I think those people are unconditionally wrong": I really don't think she should go to the event. But it makes me kinda queasy that people are turning on a dime and denouncing her super hard when before they thought she was great because it makes me feel like they're only seeing her as useful, not as a person who's allowed to make mistakes. (albeit big ones)

sexpig by night posted:she literally follows him on twitter and has defended him speaking at places as just part of the ~exchange of ideas~ Contra also follows Spencer, as it happens - I guess this makes her a neo-Nazi sympathizer who thinks he's just swell too. Or maybe follows actually don't = endorsement? Theryn Meyer put Roaming Millennial on blast in a livestream only a couple of weeks ago for the kid gloves she used in her interview with him (also had quite heated exchanges with Nick Fuentes in same stream. Contra was there too, actually) and frequently talks about the danger of neo-Nazis and the right's failure to recognize them on Twitter. Somehow I think you're wrong here...

I think I'm going to go against the grain of the thread somewhat, since reading all that I'm a lot more sympathetic to Contra's position. I still think she's making a mistake, but I'm a lot more inclined to be forgiving about it, particularly since she's going through a journey I can only start to understand. I respect her enough to give her that much, at least.WampaLord posted:Look, obviously she didn't deserve to be attacked so viciously, Was anyone viciously attacking her here, or are you referring to the twittersphere?

I'm referring to the twittersphere, which is a white hot ball of outrage in constant search of a target. Seriously, Twitter loving sucks. Just use it to find puppy pictures or fun gifs of NFL players doing celebrations or whatnot, don't use it as social media.

I think the forums have been really good to her, but looking at the twitter responses she's gotten tells a sadder story. It's pretty depressing because I think that if the voices telling her not to go were less shrill, she would probably take them more seriously. There's a lot of people who are calling her a traitor and that's really stupid because she hasn't done anything bad yet. She hasn't even defended the moderators in unambiguous terms except to say that she personally thought they were OK to talk to -- she's explicitly hinted that she thinks the group still harbors awful views. (although they might not be actual holocaust deniers)
