    Yeah. Ian is also subtweeting about a trans man who was doxed by kiwifarms. He apparently worked for a company owned by Lockheed or something? All is know for sure is if KF is involved then its toxic.

      IIRC basically whoever this is about worked for Lockheed in some capacity for 15 years while doing typical sorta "woke" tweeting about ableism and stuff like that, working for Lockheed was apparently also a direct consequence of nepotism and done with the justification of "Muh health insurance" and putting more fuel on the fire was that they took donations during this period as well. What set this off initially was apparently a take about how its ableist to expect writers to also read frequently(with a broader discourse over reading in general over alternatives like audio books etc), which I guess is what set the fruit fascists off or put enough attention at the right/wrong time to spread the KF thread.

      My take, kiwifarms bad, but also you should shut the fuck up about ableism if you are working for a company directly involved in giving tens to hundreds of thousands of people physical and mental disabilities every year, better yet you should quit your job.

      Also its pretty much transcended just being kiwifarms shit, the daily mail is writing about how the woke mob is cancelling this person, we're getting twitter takes from people making the "poor impoverished military recruit" spiel but for college grads who cant possibly realize the consequences of working for Mass Murder LC, I'm hearing takes about how theres no difference between getting taxed in an imperialist country and working for people who directly profit every time a bomb is dropped in the global south, theres takes about how you cant blame a trans person for literally anything they do in the name of "survival".

        We're going to hear about the poor impoverished scab who had to cross the picket line to make ends meet, aren't we?

        Not to mention he was partly responsible for Isabell Fall going back into the closet.
