Warning: extremely toxic thread

I thought there was an antiwork community here? Anyways I'm not sure where to put this. Just kinda sucks that the interview didn't go well and that people are shitting on this person and misgendering her for not being a white male factory worker or something.

/r/antiwork is kind of in shambles rn because the mods are trying keep the discourse from spinning out of control but a ton of people there are being transphobic and turning on the mods, and of course the mods are being accused of being authoritarian for trying to run the sub.

I hope the sub can bounce back, but it's a dark day in there for sure.

    Whole thing is a mess. It's disgusting that so many are flocking straight to transphobic and ableist shit. I have no idea why they agreed to go on Fox news and they are not handling the valid criticisms well.

      My guess is the influence of the known :fedposting: on their mod team tbh

        Fox apparently asked for them specifically, and the rest of the most team encouraged them to do the interview. I feel bad for her, being setup like this by people I'm almost certain she thought were her friends.

          Oof, yeah. Feel bad for anyone who gets taken advantage of by cops and feds.

      Libs will pretend not to be transphobic until a trans person does something bad or stupid and the mask just flies straight off their face.
