Just had some random pop up on Reddit, necroposting to reply to something I posted in 2022 saying, “you will never be a woman”

And, ok, whatever, but I replied asking if they’re able to explain what it is that doing this is doing for them.

And I hope they reply because I’m actually fascinated.

I get that they’re trying to offend me, but on the one hand, poor target selection because I’m years past that, and on the other, why not something contemporary? I mean, if they’re picking year old posts to reply to, their target might never even see it.

I guess I just don’t understand why they spent their time doing this in this way.

@Becky is not a bear That’s the thing. I don’t need anyone else’s validation.

But it seems that somehow they do?

It's the inner goblin tendency. You attack something small with the idea that the damage is so inconsequential that a retaliation would be too much work. But there will have been damage and they'll skulk away smirking and rubbing their hands at a job well done.

Who cares enough to reply to post from a year ago? That's crazy. I'd do this to someone if I wanted to get back at them, but just a little. A tiny peck.
