This comment section is hilarious. Some people are praising his suicide simply because he was a part of the republican party, while others are saying that "no one deserves being bullied for being trans" yet what everyone seems to miss is this guy was a grade A pervert who was posting pictures of real children in his transition fetish memes that he posted online. He also stalked a local business woman and wrote erotica about taking over her life and becoming her through hormones and surgery then murdering her and replacing her. A real woman btw.

So much cognitive dissonance in this thread and I'm here for it.

Read up what he did here https://1819news.com/news/item/to-say-i-was-a-stalker-would-be-a-bit-of-an-understatement-curvy-transgender-smiths-station-mayor-copeland-wrote-fiction-about-murdering-real-life-local-businesswoman-assuming-her-identity

You posted the same article multiple times in this thread. I don't know that magazine but Wikipedia says about the source

1819 News is an American far-right[1] news website that focuses on the state of Alabama.

Aren't there more trustworthy articles than a far right news site?

Yeah, it's a right wing propaganda rag. I wouldn't trust them reporting the weather without somehow blaming liberals and lgbtq.

The OP buried the lede intentionally or unintentionally. Dude was a grade A creeper and a psycho.

You probably shouldn't read Steven King with that logic. Fiction is fiction. Unless you want to punish for a thoughtcrime.

He wrote it about a real woman in the area without her consent. You are being a sexual harassment apologist.

It is sexual harassment?

Yes it is. And everyone would agree it is if this person was not trans.

It's not only a sexual harassment, but also a documented intention to kill. The guy deserves to be thrown in jail. But it worked out even better in the end.

The Left:

  1. Slurs are bad
  2. Transphobia is bad
  3. Ableism is bad
  4. Restorative justice is better than retributive justice
  5. Move people left
  6. Disregard points 1-5

The right:

  1. Hate everything that isn’t them.

How convenient that everybody who disagrees with you is a lying cartoon.

Here's somebody who disagrees with me, promoting ethnic cleansing.

Have fun no-true-scottsmanning them

TIL one thread you don't like constitutes "The Left".

If they are not your ally, go tell them that

Because it would make you feel better? Or because anybody who disagrees with you automatically faces a higher standard to prove their values than anybody who agrees with you?

Your talking point shifted from pretending leftists didn't do this, to endorsing the leftist who did this.

If you read that as an endorsement then I'm done trying to talk to you, have fun conversing with your imagination.

let me know if you change your mind on em
