I just learned about this author who was canceled about a year ago over some tweets where he called out straight women who fetishize gay men. His Twitter is deleted and I don't know exactly what he said but probably wasn't enough to end his whole career. He was about to publish a book called "An Island Without You" that honestly looks really good and I want to read it but it doesn't seem like it's ever going to be published. Does anybody know anything about this man or this book? Seems as though he's fallen off the face of the Earth
This totally reads like a truthlighting bait post from a deep-cover terf (where "truthlighting" is a word I made up right now for... like gaslighting, but planting the truth). But #nope, we got a real live self-awarewolf here
Truthlighting is a great term! I used to post on r/gendercynical with little truthlight lanterns. I always got upvoted there too, it's a very confusing subreddit...
Lol they aren't the brightest. The place is filled with ppl who literally think they can magically change sex
I'll have to go look and see what /r/gendercynical is about (I've never rlly used reddit outside of a couple subs strictly focused on hobbies/activities/languages)
Good luck! I always go in there with an open mind, hoping one of them might have some logic I have yet to explore or something. But, nope. The mental gymnastics they employ is hella confusing to follow. They lean on logical fallacies for their arguments which makes it hard to understand what they take issue with. It is a strange place for internet babies with no critical thinking skills.
That could describe any of the trans subs ahah
Is this one different from the others in some way? or will I just be gawking at more of the usual train wrecks and rotting word salads😅?
It's word compost there. They don't interact with all our posts, they have some kinda byline that their mission is to point out how we aren't feminists or something. They know they can't interact with all our posts or else r/gendercynical would be a peaking machine. So they cherry pick posts where they see us discussing race or sexism and then they say: "this is just thinly veiled __________" insert: racism, ableism, denialism, etc. Nothing is ever interacted with on face value and the post has to supposedly deal with a conflict in feminism (in their opinion) - which is also why they have days and days between posts. Their options are: twist our words and make up hidden meanings or refuse to interact because our post makes them feel dysphoric.
Ohhhhhh so it's like a stalkery Ovarit peanut gallery? My word. I'll be checking this out soon🤪
It's hilarious
