Ken did a transphobia apologism on Bsky. Ken doubled down. Ken then complained about it on fedi and presumably thought his day wasn’t going to get any worse.
Then fedora-in-human-form, Jeff, defended him in public.
@anarchosynthism I made a post critical of Eugen and he got all huffy about it. I told him that I don’t make posts for assholes to read and that he should touch grass. Then he deleted his post and now I am defederated, personally.
@warrioroflatte @anarchosynthism Apologies for the lack of context — he deleted his comment and so my reply became orphaned. But he said something like “your post is awful. Why don’t you tag Gargron if you’re going to talk shit about him?”
completely unironically asking, as a trans person, what context I'm missing that makes Ken's post transphobia apologism? I feel like I'm missing something.
@Jo Shields @Kat Marchán 🐈 So yeah, calling a trans woman fascist for wanting to crack down on conversion therapy is … well I think it’s more than merely transphobia-adjacent, isn’t it?
@directhex I'd say it feels more like having your head too far up your frozen peaches ass, than transphobia, but it's not a point I care enough to argue. This guy doesn't need or deserve anyone to go to bat for him over a choice of words 😛 (or for any reason, tbh)
@Kat Marchán 🐈 The original Bsky thing? There are pages and pages and pages of him digging. I had to just scroll for minutes to get to the bottom of it.
ah so THAT's what it was about. I think I remember Ken from Metafilter back in the day & if I'm remembering the right guy, he got into lots of fights where he was clearly framing himself as the noble advocate for frank speech. I find his legal perspective valuable so I grin & bear the nonsense [though had not prev seen the transphobia apologia, which might change things]; that said he is far too settled in his own sense of righteousness for my taste.

We now live in an era where the “main character” can crash through the walls and spread across three social networks. What a time to be alive!

There's not a lot more pathetic than dude simping for someone (e.g. Eugen) who would probably be embarrassed by his attention.
