UPDATE: The transphobe Ada has been defending says they misgender all trans women/NBs on Blahaj who are strangers - Blåhaj Lemmy
lemmy.blahaj.zone
Further information on the situation with the transphobia: Abigail has repeatedly misgendered me and defended her choice by saying she chooses to refer to all people of unknown gender as male. > Hey, Abigail here. I just want people to know the reason this person got banned is likely because of a deleted comment not included in that thread. OP called me ~~autistic ~~ mentally unwell for not liking politics. THAT kind of behavior is not acceptable on lemmy.blahaj.zone, so I reported the comment and let Ada handle it. Ada tried in good faith to reason with OP but it was clear they just wanted to fight. So yeah, they got banned. Ada’s a fantastic lady who’s been great at keeping the trolls at bay. > Edit: and the bit about me misgendering them is also wrong. Gender didn’t come into play until after I had left the conversation. English default on the internet is male for strangers.

    English isn’t a person, it’s a language. The root word narcissism was pulled into english by people. Those people were late 19th century psychologists.

        It was put into general use by a book which claimed comtemporary america was normalising NPD, and later by self help books selling the old Hitler special - all your problems are caused by a vulnerable minority and please give me money

          Just fyi, your posts in this thread are getting passed around on chan sites and are getting dozens of (You)s, I didn’t start it. Don’t try to delete they were using archive links and screenshots.

          It’s absolutely deserved. You’re talking about a term for an aggressive personality that is sometimes related to a DSM classification that’s a lot closer to psychopathy than, say, autism or schizophrenia when it comes to carrying a stigma, having symptoms which interfere with life & socializing.

            really showing self-awareness when you say

            when it comes to carrying a stigma, having symptoms which interfere with life & socializing

            while gloating about the harassment this user is going to receive from 4chan. classy.

              Eh, I don’t mind being 4chan’s “lolcow” or whatever other ableist bullshit they’ve invented this week if it means I’m making radical queer identities more visible and making more common queer identities seem more normal. I mean, Trump singlehandedly normalised fascism in the US by being such a fascist clown. Maybe I could go a little way to being the opposite of that. Let them parade my identity around in front of everyone, that’s what we did ourselves at Stonewall and we ought to be doing it more often.

                nah fuck that. I’m bullying 4chan weirdos any day of the week and once I’ve got some good material this is going in the dunk tank for the rest of hexbear to dogpile. fascists can get fucked.

                  You’re not getting any good material. This is like saying you should ban the phrase “stay mad” over the existence of people with diagnosed anger management problems. Hexbear already dunked on the person you’re replying to for this. This is just round 2 on a bunch of obscure chans, none of which are your beloved Trumpists.

                They’re making fun of you for being an obvious wrecker with zero self awareness and trying to get people to stop using a word - (this is my addition) when it would be better to redefine narcissistic personality disorder. Just like histrionic is deprecated

              Not 4chan lol

              I like how you think people being made fun of online for bad takes now constitutes the same kind of difficult experience autistic and schizophrenic people have with socializing lmao. The new Chapo crowd isn’t worth a damn.

                  They’re absolutely correct that hexbear is taken over by narcissistic wrecker radlibs and seeing the site almost move into banning “the n-word” (funny because it would be exactly like banning “cracker” like it’s the real n word) is just the cherry on top for them
