I peaked about two days into the Farms being down. Some cucked web tech site was already dancing on our grave. Further proof of what handing the world off to lib zoomers actually means. Because I remember a time when internet tech people would have been appalled at the prospect of censorship of legal material from the entire global public web. And they would have claimed at least that the contents didn't matter because "free speech means speech I disagree with." Tech people used to be libertarian. Now they have to be woke because troons sit next to them at the office and they organise, organise, organise! More than even real women ever did. Where was I... Well I normally lurk the farms when I want to laugh, unless there's some massive drama happening. The idea of a site not being able to exist ANYWHERE on the planet-wide public internet, as if the globe itself is not big enough for both of us (us, and the eunuchs) is too much for me. I'm pretty set in my ways (RRREEEEEEE actionary) and I insist the World Wide Web is large enough to accommodate more than one type of discourse. Also, I'm not about to submit to humorless people. I spent those two days getting up to speed on the happenings.
Now, up until a week ago, I maintained a live and let live attitude towards troons. Even though I was a bit annoyed at them showing up all over online and being bossy and smug stunning and brave. I more or less deleted TikTok not specifically because of the mtfs, but because of all the genderspecials as a whole - although I admit that was them doing me a big favor. I stopped Tweeting years ago for fear of ever getting into it. Because I have a policy of not saying sorry unless I really am. Still, I haven't had any trans people in my life in over a decade (and that generation did not go around "being trans" as their main thing) so I thought, well, I don't know what it's like for them, so I hope they do whatever helps them not be miserable. Also, I had heard about this "grooming" thing but without looking into it, I figured it was a conservative meme. Again, my life is not affected by any of this shit.
But the DIY hormones for kids, puberty blockers, srs for minors, and the final straw - gloating about how many kids they recruit - finally hit a nerve with me. I started to think, hey maybe there is something to this grooming thing. Jesus said that if anyone misleads a child, it would have been better for them if they tied a millstone around their own neck and threw themselves into the sea. That is some really specific imagery. He put some thought into that. The original "Kill yourself" straight from our Lord's mouth - Know Your Christian Meme. Well I'm in agreement with HeyZeus on this point, at least. Hey! Weirdos! Leave them kids alone.
These events basically shoved me even further toward the based end of the spectrum than previous gender shenanigans already had. I still don't hate troons. But they're a tiny fraction of the population, and somehow they're shoving the whole world around right now (well, the US and friends, anyway) and that is just weird. Like, that can't be good for anyone, including them. They're demanding to receive what medical treatment they themselves insist on, and then they insist everyone must "affirm" what they say with kids, too? I just want the doctors to do their jobs and find a better solution to dysphoria, because I no longer believe srs is it. Invading real women's spaces is very bad, but crippling kids for life is a fridge too far.
Finally, big tech is on a fast track to become the omniscient, omnipresent, algorithmic, minority-report enforcers of the entire - the entire - internet. They want there to be no place to go that isn't locked down and sanitized by them and whoever is driving their apparatus at the time.
