A news article about the Sep 4 school shooting in Georgia says the shooter was frustrated about the acceptance of trans people. LibsOfTikTok reinterpreted this to mean the exact opposite of what it says, and blamed trans people for the shooting, so all the twitter chuds were baying for blood all day yesterday.

They've done this for every major shooting in the US for the past few years

    I despise this social media age. All thats needed is some influential idiot to spread a narrative and it catches on like wild fire. Even though a lot of the audience already has that bias its still fucking annoying.

      remember how much fake news about Imane Khelif being AMAB (not that there would be anything wrong if she actually was) there was? Like actual lies and misgendering?

        It was crazy. Had people like logan paul cosign it. Even if she was AMAB the amount of hate she got was ridiculous. They wanted her head
