I find this a little weird, and I'm kind of mixed on it.
On one hand, that sort of stance is noxious as all get out (never mind the "not a nice person" comment which is a subject unto itself), and it's a legitimate prompt for discourse on the other platform. On the other hand, these comments are, well, exactly the sort of "Heaper asks" that Odra got criticized for way back (only bringing that up as a parallel; to elaborate would be beating a dead horse), insofar as we are all Heapers and all of the names present can be traced back to this very site. We're not random people, and it's playing out more or less like the early beginnings, except taking on his personal blog is justified because it's gross. Which, well, I can see and even agree with somewhat, since he chooses to respond to these asks on his personal blog with her personal friends. Doesn't make me any less bothered by this in some capacity.
I got a bit of a weird vibe but I liked most of their posts so I kind of just ignored that until this happened and now I'm torn between being mad at this person for being how they are being and annoyed at myself for not being better at listening to that little voice in my head telling me these things.
On the other hand, being forgiving and non-judgemental is kind of a key tenet of my personality, even when people raise asshole flags early on.
Like okay, the more I think on it, even on a practical level this bothers me. It'd be akin to responding to this (convenient, that), if we were familiars faces, e.g. SJW Guardians from the website whitiessuck.net or whatever, except on an even worse platform.
Also the fact that some folks are implicitly telling that due to kill himself bothers me as well; but that's an entirely different subject.
both Myr and JHM were already following him though (and in Myr's case, at least, for some time)
i guess that doesn't change how it looks from his perspective
To me, unless you're consistently chatting it doesn't make much of a functional difference. Otherwise you're just another follower, as I understand him.

I was bothered by a number of his behaviors, even if yes this is the first one to really make me want to not bother with him. Forgive me if I don't factor this in, though.
Also I rescind my friends comments since that was nost, not that I don't find it to effectively be similar.
I am mostly OK with Nost, actually. He's weird, but not a bad person and occasionally pretty interesting and funny.
This person has really sent me up a wall, though. And I knew of them from when they were just on Blogspot, so they've at least been on my radar for a while if not in my personal sphere.

I'd agree, but then he wrote the worst post a human being has ever written ever.

I wasn't seeing Crystal's point before, but now I am.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
well you see, Emma Watson is actually Heterosexual Satan, and trying to do blatant/overeager damage control for how some people see feminism is Also Satan, so if you combine them it's Double Satan

Like, the fuck is wrong with these people. You are allowed to love men and hate patriarchy. Treating everyone like real human beings is the whole point of feminism, even radical feminism. Seriously, just... no.
if it's the thing naney said then why are there two mentions of heterosexuality as an insult and one about trans lesbians being offended
inevitably (and unfairly, i think, in this case, it's just a hashtag and a statement of personal opinion) a statement like that is going to be associated with heterosexual, non-intersectional forms of feminism which are perceived as shallow and vapid
the 'trans lesbians' comment is presumably in response to the earlier hashtag which says '#i bet all the ppl commenting are twerfs'
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
Certain feminists on tumblr continue to live up to the stereotype that feminists are dykes who hate men. Have we learned anything today? I don't think so!

e: people who know this person better are using they pronouns, so

Also a LessWrong defector/opponent, though. Which explains some things.

Let's not turn this into a lynch mob, people.

I already knew that, and don't like to be reminded of that.
it's just that apparently tumblr has decided that having fun is illegal
pretend that i never linked that i guess
The John Green shit's kinda scarred me. >_>
i guess they think she's apologizing for feminism? but she's not really

but the reactions seem disproportionate at best

(*exaggerates slam dunk motion*)
to be clear, i think the responses are dumb, i'm just saying i think it's about the thing naney said
