Here was the transphobic content I was “defending":
But seriously, you guys (cause you’re 95℅ guys lets be honest), arent half as intelligent as you think you are.
“You guys” meant Hexbear. The full context is a little longer and stupider than that (And the user’s comment I was allegedly defending was actually way-out-of pocket aside from the “you guys” part. It was encouraging Hexbear users to commit suicide, but just in a way that had nothing to do with transphobia as far as I can tell.) Anyway that was the “transphobic” part. I suspect that the actual issue was me being extensively rude to Cowbee, and they are lying about what the real issue is and calling things “transphobia” as they often do.
In any case. To quote @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com: “In all honestly it reads to me you’re more upset people are not sufficiently polite in disagreement. Anarchists can and will be rude … Nobody is under any onus to remain polite to spare your feelings”

I cannot for the life of me imagine why some people are so obsessive about me. I live rent-free in their heads, like a boogieman. I also don’t recommend wasting your time looking into this anymore, y’all have way better uses of time, but if you want a mild chuckle and a lot of annoyance, for context:
CW: Transphobia
Phillip defended a user that claimed Hexbear is “95% guys” in the middle of a joke about Hexbear users killing themselves, by trying to say the “95% guys” comment was about the masculine tendency towards debatelord behavior, and had nothing to do with transphobia. In Phillip’s view, only the suicide part was bad, and had nothing to do with the “95% guys” part.
This is all in context of another user sealioning about why Lemmy.world defederated from Hexbear, getting banned, and then making a ye power tripping bastards post about it. Phillip then tried to get into an argument with me, devolving into questions of my character rather than the topic at hand, ie when I got banned for calling the transphobe out for their transphobia in a .world comm.
I’m tired.

I wish more of us (me) were in there posting like you, I would greatly prefer that we ditch the “dirtbag left” and “bullying works” entirely and focus on medium to high effort posting on the libs.
As you mentioned some of them lose their minds completely, but we have to remember that it makes you look good to the audience when that happens.
I appreciate the kind words, but I actually think some people do respond better to shame than calm refutation. I think diversifying strategy works best, personally. I will say, though, my strategy has at least gotten through to some people that otherwise seemed apprehensive.
If it helps at all, the responses you gave made my entry into Hexbear a lot more easy, even if it doesn’t show a lot of people are influenced
Thanks, that does help! Everyone that thanks me does help me mentally, I’m a bit simple like that.
I would say “Thanks for your service :sankara-solute:” if I wasn’t on a client
On platforms like this its more about the audience than the person you’re actually talking too. The calm and patient explaining comes across much better. Let the others seethe.
Fully agreed, which is why I know it works!
you heard it here folks, bullying is back on the menu
True, maybe I’d say we should be more tactical about deploying a ppb dogpile. I’d like to see a bit more discipline.
I don’t like the PPB because it’s just too gross for me. I see enough shit in my daily life I don’t need to see it here. I understand it makes libs upset. But it makes me upset having to see a giant dookie.
We can have a little PPB, as a treat
Gotta mix it up!
you need both. sometimes cussing someone out is what gets across that we actually care about this stuff while staying calm 100% of the time can look like how liberals talk about things.
Agreed!
For the most part you get banned anyway. E.g. me getting banned yesterday from 196 @ blahaj:
We mostly bully over at hexbear because it’s a safe space that shouldn’t get contaminated with imperialism and transphobia, people are more reasonable when the takes aren’t wildly immoral.
hasan doesn’t deserve the title of derangement syndrome
It isn’t his title it’s his haters’.
I’m not referring to Hexbear criticism of him lol, it doesn’t change the fact that it makes like tens of thousands of peoplento his right froth about his least wrong takes
no ik im just saying they should call it che derangement syndrome or something
You could consider the deranged attention a symptom of successful agitprop.
I do, generally, they just take it to surprising levels sometimes.
Wanted to take time out of my day to say fuck yerbouti, absolute asshole and I wish I could say I’m surprised to see that Philip chose to die on the hill of defending his bullshit.
you don’t deserve any of the shit that those assholes give you
Thank you, comrade! You don’t deserve the hate you get either, not one iota. And yea, I’m entirely unsurprised about Philip, there was ample opportunity and they rejected it willingly.
Yeah them coming there specifically to be angry at you in that thread was just shocking. Although considering what that account usually has to say guess shouldn’t be surprised
Not surprised at all, actually, they do it regularly if I’m not posting in .ml/grad/Hexbear.
