Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Pretty much every party involved in it is awful tbh.

People would not make such a huge deal out of it if it weren't for transmisogyny.

I won't negate that transmisogyny has added fuel to the dumpster fire that Chris Chan's story is but this is outright wrong. Chris Chan was already a huge deal ages before they came out as trans, which happened relatively recently, much time after the peak of their infamy.

It wouldn't be correct for me to say that at the start, but it's indisputable at this point.

For what it's worth, the harassment campaign was in full swing waaaay before CWC came out as trans, that was just extra fuel for the fire when it was starting to die down
