"This thread isn't propagandist enough, I don't want my beautiful fantasy world being disturbed."

For context: Knockout is a relatively niche forum that was created by users of the more well-known Facepunch forums when the latter closed down in 2019.

Since the war in Ukraine started, they have regularly been having struggle sessions about the contradictions of being a progressive, pro-trans forum, yet also being fanatically pro-NATO and pro-Ukraine. Most of the time they uncritically believe any propaganda the West, Kyiv, or even British tabloids put out, and they will react extremely hostile to anything that dares break the narrative, as seen here.

Edit: Crap, I screwed up the thumbnail somehow.

    Is there any reason at all you need to highlight she's trans? Her takes are shit, sure, but do they get worse because she's a trans woman? When it's not relevant that she's trans, why bring it up at all, let alone in the title?

      Yeah I'm sorry, I just wanted to highlight the ridiculousness.

      I find it extra infuriating when even people of the most vulnerable groups, who would be the first to get murdered by Nazis, are brainwormed to the point they think downplaying Nazis is somehow the correct way to go.
