They fired an employee who was a public transphobe for bringing that to work and causing their company to get a bad reputation for housing a publicly open transphobe.
They did what every company would do in that situation, they fired that employee because the alternative is standing behind and in support of a public transphobe who brings hate onto others.
Consequently online transphobes keep saying shit like this, conveniently skipping thr part where the employee was a public transphobe who brought hate onto others, because they want to rile people up against the company for not supporting transphobes.
Tldr, op is a transphobe
I hadn't heard about this. It seems that either OP and you think different things happened, or have differing views on what constitutes transphobia.
The difference is OP actually gave examples to back their claim up and didn't personally attack anyone. You could be right and maybe you want people like me to blindly trust you, but the way you make your point makes me assume you're a bad source and full of shit.
I ended up doing my own research and I'd recommend others do the same. Think we have the same views but you're being aggressive and trying to argue with everyone. I find it ironic that you're telling people to post on Reddit instead.
I bully transphobes online, I don't engage in debate with them. I just bully them because they deserve no less. You should too. They don't deserve patience.
You called them a transphobe when all they wrote was "I’m not supporting LRG after what they did to that community manager". No room for discussion huh? Your whole reply was "they are transphobe, just trust me bro. so is OP."
They defended their position by bringing up some of the things people have a problem with that they think are fine, like being excited about the Harry Potter game and following a couple of conservative accounts. No transphobia so far. What about the 7 year old tweet that someone who doesn't like the Harry Potter franchise dredged up? If they had that opinion 7 years ago, they might have it today. Does it make you a transphobe if you don't believe the person should have been fired for this? It's not the same as agreeing with the tweet.
Is it something you're willing to discuss here, or is anyone who disagrees with your yet to be revealed argument "terrible" and "transphobic"? Attempting to antagonise and belittle anyone who doesn't share your view is reddit behaviour. It certainly won't get anyone on your side who didn't already agree with you, so I guess you want to make them feel bad, or it makes you feel good?
I don't debate with transphobes, their dogwhistles are obvious to everyone. I just bully them out of communities, I let them know they are not welcome, they need to take their hate for others to some other safe community. It won't be here.
You should know that this is not a safe space for transphobes. Do with that what you want, I won't make this a safe space for transphobes. If you think that effects you, then you have your answer to all of this.
The problem I have is your criteria for labelling someone a transphobe.
Are you a moderator here?
It's not "witch hunting" to say your transphobic employee is being transphobic online. Please go be terrible in some other weirdo community, reddit likes that kind of person.
Calm down
The typical "he/she do not think like me, so they are wrong and transphobic"
That’s not at all what happened lol.
Some colourful people got upset because she made comments about being excited to play Hogwarts legacy, a game they were “boycotting”. Said people then went looking for more reasons to be outraged and saw that she followed some people on twitter that they don’t like, namely “LibsOfTikTok” and Ben Shapiro, so started the “cancelling” movement of online harassment.
She was then fired from her job literally for following some people on twitter, to appease the angry little mob.
She said or did nothing transphobic. Being excited for Harry Potter isn’t transphobic.
Stop trying to play the victim and get people cancelled.
Just out of curiosity, sir or madam... have you quit drinking Bud Light beer recently? I'm just wondering if it's wrong to cancel something if you personally hate the causes it supports, that's all.
I don’t drink, let alone drink your garbage American piss water.
Your dogwhistles aren't as dogwhistle as you think they are, get better ones
