“I can say that he has been very cooperative,” Cox continued, possibly misgendering the roommate. “This partner has been incredibly cooperative, had no idea that this was happening and is working with investigators right now.”

This has to be intentional. Shitting in one hand calling it “civility” then in the other lobbing a grenade of transphobia. Love it.

    The media hasn’t reported on this yet afaik, and hopefully they won’t, but people found her reddit account and she’s posted on r/4tran4 and r/TransDIY. it’s very worrying

      They also posted in the jordan peterson sub, anarcho capitalism, loveforlandslords, crypto subs, and 4chan. Might have been one of those blaire white type trans people.

        4tran reddit subs are equivalent to 4chan’s lgbt board aka tttt and the people there make Blaire White look like a revolutionary. Didn’t notice loveforlandlords but sounds funny considering that some places reported that Tyler either owns the appartment or sublets it to at least two other people and rakes in 900 dollars a month. He may not even live with them permanently but “trans roommate lover” is more useful to the chud narrative.

          r/4tran4 was not a conservative subreddit. Full of self-loathing and edgy gallows humor memes, but not politically conservative at all.

            The 4tran splinters and tttt itself aren’t conventionally Evangelical conservative or coherently political but they’re pretty much direct translations of incel and blackpill for trans. That self loathing you’re talking about is usually obsessing over minor physical details to the point of craniometry and very incely notions of what cis humans are supposed to look like, inventing brand new slurs for themselves and everyone else, adopting all sorts of terf ideas, Blanchardism etc. Within the greater trans context this isn’t the most left adjacent area, it’s the 4chan side of it.

            • Twiggs’s TikTok account (contains their real face, verified by media) has a video showing their Rocket League username to be “Lancelotte” (unique spelling)

            • Their Instagram (same proof as above) mentions their hobby of fishing

            • A Steam account was found which used to have Lancelotte as one of its past usernames, and which also had its Real Name field changed from Lance to Luna (very strongly indicating that they’re trans); it also has the killer’s Steam account on its Friends list

            • Then the Reddit account u/lancelott3 was found, and the owner of this account at one point claimed to live in Utah roughly 20 minutes from the Arizona border, which matches with Tyler’s and Twiggs’s location of Washington, Utah; this account has also posted about fishing, and of course on trans subreddits

              I saw that Reddit account and I really didn’t see anything that clearly proved they were trans. There was a post in /r/trans calling OP an asshole about something they did and I found another post where eggs were mentioned, but again nothing clearly stating they were trans. Egg perhaps? I just would normally expect an out trans person to be more obvious about it on their online accounts, but it’s possible they weren’t or aren’t out yet.

              But anyways, I still think it’s irrelevant. I don’t see how the roommate being trans means that trans people are responsible for the shooting.
