For those who don't know about the Attack Helicopter Story saga: Neon Yang and NK Jemisin harassed the writer Isabel Fall (a trans woman) for writing a queer mech story.

And harassment really dosen't do it justice becuase Fall was hospitalized for severe depression, and from what I've read has stopped their transition. Primarily becuase of intense gender disphoria brought on by Yang, Jemisin and their cretinous followers saying Fall must be a cis-man for writing this story. They didn't even read it, they just didn't like the title and invented a bizzare conspiracy theory that claimed Fall was a neo-nazi. Afterwards both of them gave a really shitty WhatApp apology and moved on with their lives, so much so that apparently Yang now has the gall to do this shit.

    The person here is talking about liking mech/robot stories with LGBT+ themes, the missing context being that the person who made this tweet viciously cyberbullied a trans woman who wrote one such LGBT mech/robot story.

    More specifically, they bullied a trans woman because she dared to write a subversive story about a trans person being turned into a literal attack helicopter. The hate campaign against that trans woman, spurred in part by this jackass, caused her to be hospitalized for her stress and depression, which also impacted her motivation to transition.
