I was screenshot and inserted into her latest video, the one where she makes fun of a cult with a death toll because she thinks they use childish language.
As my dear friend has been saying for like most of a year now (and boy were they right), she's just trying to find a way to pivot to something more profitable, and profit follows conservative politics on youtube. The transition from fandom to tradwife will be rocky, but she's already well into the TERF shit that comes hand in hand with anti shit so whatever I guess.
As absurd as it sounds, this is why I prefer getting my fandom history from tumblr--because tumblr posts about topics are more often than not the collaboration of multiple people adding onto threads, and the notes are right there as a way to find more information or even see counterarguments/fact checks/context.
God, it really was good for that. I wish I could feel safe trying to go back or rebuild but it's so packed with TERFs, sexphobes, neocons and the odd nazi still somehow.
I miss it so much. It made learning more details about things so easy!
My blocklist is at least a few thousand long by now, and I pretty much never get trouble for contentious things I post anymore, even though I show up in the main tags and everything. Every few months, a single solitary terf with 0 following reblogs one of my posts to mock it and I simply add them to the list. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My little curated circle is rather pleasant.
On her twitter account, which she deleted I suppose, she would regularly bait trans men with comments like "male privilege means trans men are always privileged over cis women" etc and as soon as anyone would step in to try and correct her, she would screenshot or QRT them with condescending comments that led to harassment campaigns. Even when informed about these campaigns multiple times, she still persisted with the behaviour, but since she was "only" harassing transmasculine people I suppose that makes it "okay."

Wait, what? That is not an accusation I’ve seen before.
