No one is mad at you for the app they use. People are upset with your shitty behavior. No one that downvoted you did so because of transphobia or whatever bullshit reason you want to come up with. It's because you're a miserable keyboard warrior and likely troll.
People like this do not handle being disagreed with very well, do they?
Simply cannot accept their imaginary version of events isn't what actually happened.
"My shitty behavior," that is, calling out misgendering and transphobia. But it's definitely not transphobia that's motivating downvoters. Oh, and you know this how? None of them have come out to say their reasons, because they're transphobic cowards who don't want to get called out for it.
You'd better fucking believe I'm going to "aggressively" support trans people against you fucks.
Youre shitty behavior is doubling down on calling out the so called transphobia when it has been explained to you several times that many users don't see the same label you are seeing. You admitted that yourself. I'm telling you right now as a person who downvoted you why I did so. It's time to move along now troll.
And as I said, it's not my fault you're choosing to use shitty apps that take away basic functionality that everyone else can see.
Oh, interesting, because you said,
But I guess that was a fucking lie.
I ain't going nowhere. You better believe I'm gonna keep calling out your shit every time you reply. You don't like it, you can fuck off, transphobe.
Yeah, OK, blocking you. You are just toxic and hurting whatever your goals are.
There are real transphobes that are a serious threat to people and you diminish what it means to call people out on it when you use it toward every person you have a disagreement with. I started down voting when you avoided confronting facts. You're the only one who is mad about how apps function. No one has responded with the aggression that you have shown so far.
Who did i misgender? Youre calling me a transphobe because I asked a simple question and then explained my app doesn't show the same username that your does. You are showing senseless aggression.
Why do people on here act like defending something someone else said is somehow different from saying it yourself? You opened with saying you wanted to down vote me, and then called me a clown.
I still genuinely want to know why on earth, like completely unrelated to this, why you would choose to use an app that takes away basic functionality?
Let's not forget who started calling others a clown first. Why are you so certain I was aware my app didn't correctly display usernames? Who do you think here is defending transphobia? You haven't made a single case for anyone in this thread being transphobic. You made your mind up about who is transphobic before anyone displayed any transphobia.
Because you asked how you could possibly know someone who's username is "katy ✨" was a woman. That is clown shit.
Doubling down on misgendering is transphobic. It's fine if it's an honest mistake at first, but the correct response to being called out on it, or seeing someone else get called on it, is not to downvote, not to argue about it, but to say, "sorry, I didn't realize" and correct it.
But no, I'm sure that your motives for fighting me on this have nothing to do with transphobia, you're just fighting on it because, what was it again? I was "too aggressive" in calling out transphobia? I guess if people can say, "I'm not fascist, I'm just anti-anti-fascism," then your version is, "I'm not transphobic, I'm just anti-anti transphobia." My sincerest apologies for not making the distinction.
Again, you know that several users don't see the same username. You know you have no proof of transphobia occurring here. To anyone who may have followed this thread this far, I apologize for feeding this troll for so long. I hope no one here truly believes you are an ally of the trans community. Baselessly calling people transphobes will do far more harm than good for those you are so desperately pretending to be an ally of. Congrats on being my first blocked user after 2 years of using lemmy.
That's where you're wrong, the proof is in the fact that you're still fighting me over calling out misgendering even now. You could've backed down at any time.
Not surprised a transphobe is blocking someone for calling out transphobia.
You need to stop screaming transphobe at everyone who disagrees with you, it's a serious accusation, and it's been explained to you that not everyone sees profile pictures.
And I've explained that defending misgendering is not just "a disagreement."
