I really, really hope he realizes that he's shooting trans people in the foot quite severely, for his own sick, twisted fantasies.
He knows, and he doesn't give a shit. He's a scammer and a phony. He doesn't care who he hurts as he uses them as human shields.
The only thing worse than a sick pervert is a sick pervert who's intelligent.
Thankfully, Jonathan is
not intelligent. In fact, he's pretty damned stupid (there's plenty of evidence throughout this thread demonstrating that, but I'll just point to his very recent sperging out against Morgane Oger ... that's a supremely dumb idea but he's all damn-the-torpedoes on it anyway).
He played a reasonably decent confidence game (it's how he's managed to get "backchannel" access to Twitter to have people banned on demand) but it's been unraveling steadily since he started openly courting attention with his "activism." Because he's stupid, though, he grew overconfident and convinced himself that he was untouchable.
He's since encountered places like the Farms that he can't censor, and people like Meghan Murphy who are willing to actually fight back (hard) when he pulls his Twitter strings to ban them. She very cleverly didn't directly sue
him, but rather sued Twitter and laid bare all of his antics (including his name) in an American court, far beyond his reach in a jurisdiction immune to his Canadian snowflake status protections. It's public record, so his name, pseudonyms and antics are all neatly tied together with a nice ribbon and bow in one convenient package anyone can see for free, and he can't do a thing about it. He's lost the one thing that protected him -- his ability to silence critics and censor all mentions of his misdeeds.
Enough people have started making noise about him that he can't silence it, and word is spreading. Morgane Oger is a slimy piece of shit too (partly because he defended Jonathan initially) but even
he changed his tune once enough complaints landed in his lap from so many different people. When even
that shit stain thinks you're bad news, you need to start scrambling for a new shtick.
he has the potential to cause massive damage if he gets his way.
Not any more, I don't think. He's pissed off too many people now who are all still paying close attention to his antics, and they're keeping receipts. When Jonathan brags about trying to get involved in something, a swarm of concerned citizens emerges to gently inform his target of the scumbag they're dealing with. The recent pageantry bullshit is a great example. He bragged and bragged about how he was going to win, then very suddenly dropped out with a quick "I've done what I wanted to do, la la la!" as if it was nothing. He didn't quit. He was booted. The pageant heard from enough people about his antics that they finally checked and verified it for themselves. Then they quietly tossed him out.
Expect more of that sort of thing now with everything he does. He pressed his luck too far and it's finally catching up to him.
I don't think I'm going too far by saying that many folks would rather see him in prison, than produce content at the risk of harming a child.
I agree. He belongs in prison. Though I'm of a more old-fashioned mindset myself and firmly believe that what he really needs more than anything is to catch a genuine ass kicking. Just beat that smug grin right off his face. He's clearly never taken a punch and he sorely needs it. It builds character. Yes, he'll cry "victim" and he'll boo-hoo for sympathy, but he won't believe himself "untouchable" anymore and he'll think twice before he acts too smug again.
