So much for r/music being full of rebels. Apparently the LGBT community needs to be nicer to people who, wittingly or not, carry water for facists

    A good chunk of that thread is basically just liberals using the situation to whine about their own pet issues (purity tests, social media, Hilary Clinton, someone was mean to me) and that's exactly what Dee Snider's response and follow up seems to do too.

    I don't understand why people claiming to be trans allies can't just shut the fuck up and listen. It's not about us. It was never about us. If you're a celebrity with a platform and you have 'concerns' about trans issues I don't understand why you wouldn't ask trans people you trust instead of grandstanding on the internet and then crying about the fact you got pushback.
