  • I haven’t really followed this too closely so good chance I am misremembering or just wrong here.

    Didn’t he essential steal from everyone using FTX since customers are likely not going to get much back after the portion for taxes and whatever else is taken out first?

    That would include a lot of rich people but probably a lot of average people and irresponsible/poor people as well.

    Yeah I’ve never got that kind of bad vibe from him. I also left out the part where he even touched on how privileged his life is and how grateful he is for that or how he said him being harassed for being transphobic is nothing like what LGBTQ+ people have to go through.

    It’s really shitty as it’d be cool to have someone like him showing up randomly on Lemmy like other celebs kind of do on Reddit (Arnold Schwarzenegger only one coming to mind at the moment).

    Maybe he will give it another shot someday but I guess I don’t see there ever not being a huge group of people waiting to harass him.

    I read most of it (skimming some paragraphs) and it sounds like he got dog piled with “go fuck yourself Westley” and other memes constantly and also mass reported while being told to apologize for being transphobic (which he claims he isn’t and says he has apologized for whatever made people think that but the demands for apology never stop).

    Admin told him his account is banned because he doesn’t want to deal with the reports Wil also was saying it wasn’t just people from that instance who harassed him and in some places like a painting section he was welcomed and had some good experiences.

    Overall he said it was a bad experience and that maybe because of his reputation he will never be able to enjoy social media when people know who he is.

    I probably missed some stuff or maybe misunderstood some of what he said and obviously this is his reasons paraphrased.

    FWIW I know very little about him outside of the memes. No idea why people think he is transphobic or any other reason they may hate him.





  • They/them is gender neutral. People literally use it to avoid offending people by accidentally misgendering.

    It’s not like they went out of their way to say he or “they” to try and trigger people. She’s also not here stating her “wish”.

    With all the actual assholes out there it’s ignorant as fuck to be so reactionary on someone else’s behalf when the person you’re attacking is likely on the same side as you.

    I’m sure there’d be no reaction at all if you called them they. Feel free to watch I guess since I did it.
