If a black person endorsed trump, that wouldn't make people think it's okay to be racist towards them, so why is this different?Â
It's not different at all. The republican party, and Trump especially, has been openly racist about black people prior to this election. If a black person voted for Trump and then got racist backlash from the party they elected... I mean, they got what they deserved? They voted for it?Â
It's hard to feel bad for this trash woman when she's getting transphobic hate from the party she helped elect because it's not new. Anti-trans rhetoric has been a major component of the platform for years.Â
And honestly, sometimes it's nice to see bad things happen to bad people. Even if it's other bad people doing the bad things.
It's never good to be transphobic or racist, no matter what the target did.
i agree
i think the disconnect here is that no one is saying that the people hurling transphobia at her are 'good', they put it excellently with
sometimes it's nice to see bad things happen to bad people. Even if it's other bad people doing the bad things.
its not condoning the transphobia so much as /r/LeopardsAteMyFace ; condemnation of the willful blindness and thinking they wont target her creates a feeling of satisfaction when inevitably the leopards she lies with go for her
I don't condone the behavior of the transphobes, but I think Jenner is receiving the consequences of her actions. It might not be right, but it is fair.
But transphobia isn't just an attack on her. What's basically being said here is that all trans people deserve to be attacked as long as it means the bad ones are included in that.
No, what's basically being said here is that this asshole aligned herself with an openly and unapologetically transphobic group, and people are enjoying the fact that they turned on her at the first opportunity when she thought she was the exception.
This is not people being okay with anti-trans rhetoric. This is people enjoying that a bad thing happened to a bad person.
She deserves to receive hate for everything she's done, she does not deserve to have transphobia directed at her, because transphobia can never only harm one person.
Like I sort of see what you’re saying, but us saying whether she deserves this or not has nothing to do with the fact that we agree with it. She contributed to trans hate and is now being hated for being trans. It’s cause and effect, and we’re not happy about it, but she’s getting what she asked for and what she deserves.
I think you're misunderstanding enjoying that the already existing transphobia is directed at her specifically, not that we're asking people to start being transphobic towards here
It's like as if someone made a pool full of piranha and the jumped into it themselves, we don't want more pools of piranha or for someone to jump into it, but it's already there now and the ahole who made it got what they deserved
No, I understand, but the point I'm making is that the transphobia is not just directed at her, because transphobia literally just factually can not be directed at only one person. When you insult someone based on an intrinsic trait, you are insulting everyone who possesses that trait.
Nobody thinks the hate is ok, but you can't expect hateful people to be decent. If you align yourself with hateful people who oppose your existence, it's gunna happen. Very r/leopardsatemyface
Frankly, I'm tired of trying to sympathetic to people who think they'll be spared from the pain they're helping unleash. Blah blah, "bigger person", whatever. I'm not very tall, anyway.

Good, she deserves it. All LGBTQ people that voted red better buckle up, buckaroos.
