Seriously. How to we get that hell hole removed from the web.

    Here's an interesting phenomenon I've noticed on 4chan's Pokemon board: people have started posting "I'm trans btw" and then they just leave the thread. I don't think it is even slightly in good faith and I'm not sure what their goals are, but it's led to increased backlash against the more outspoken transphobes because they always take the bait. Every. Single. Time.

    At this point, I'm just curious to see how it plays out. It'd be interesting if simply baiting the transphobes into revealing how goddamn obnoxious they are had an impact on a toxic culture like that.

      For them it's just trolling because the transphobes are incapable of not taking the bait. It's an easy way to derail the thread because there's always someone lurking who doesn't want to talk about the children's monster battle game but just wants an excuse to say slurs.
