Is it okay to tell someone to kill themselves in response to them sharing an opinion that has been known to drive people to suicide?
I.e. transphobia. If TERFs are sharing tweets/posts/whatever saying, for example, that trans women are “ugly repulsive men, an abomination to the real women of the world and we would be better off without them”... would it then be okay to tell said person to kill themselves?
My personal opinion is talk poop get booped but I wanna hear from YOU tengaged!
this is MY time to shine
idc i HOPE terfs kill themselves and when I said this on Twitter I had other trans people telling me I was WRONG for saying our community oppressors should DIE LOL
a certain woman on this site is known for being transphobic AND telling people to kill themselves. I feel like she'd be qualified to answer this hehe <333
chic I feel like that’s a dated sentiment. I think the meaning of that mantra was to tell people that if you have been wronged, learn from it and don’t project that same hate back. But I feel like some bitches need to be wronged to learn not to do this shit again. See: heavy cancellation of racists since the BLM movement had a resurgence in late May
I’ll say this though: yeah whatever okay you don’t have to exactly be Okay with my sentiment of “KYS TERFS” but imagine being the clown who defends their oppressors
it's not the approach i'd use myself BUT if someone's being transphobic that's targeted hate and just telling someone kys is really just a really harsh way of saying fuck you. The transphobic person is saying you should die because you're trans and the oppressed person is saying you should die because you're hateful. i'm not the gatekeeper of what is and isn't okay to say how ever and i shouldnt speak for trans ppl or poc!
I’d never do it myself, but I think emotions of those oppressed are justified. I think if anything, it “validates” the TERFs to why they think transgender people are bad, like “wow they stopped so low, I knew they’re invalid !” So that would be my worry, in addition to just my morals.
But the whole playing fire with fire is a really gaslit analogy, you can’t say the victim in some of situations are equatable to the abuser, but eh. I say if you do it, you have your justifications, but I wouldn’t.
