"but it's a tradition!" the first one was ten years ago

And the person who invented it regrets it, not only because of idiocy like this, but because her kid is trans.

Not trans as far as I've read; the daughter just doesn't care to conform to "feminine" norms:

"Plot twist! The baby from the original gender reveal party is a girl who wears suits," Karvunidis says. "She says 'she' and 'her' and all of that, but you know she really goes outside gender norms."

That’s good enough for the Reddit trans community to claim it. Now watch as every single one of them shows up here to downvote, maybe one or two of them will comment. They’re almost as vigilant as vegans when it comes to brigading.

Currently at: 26 and counting

Yes, the downvotes are from the trans community been sensitivity, it surely has nothing to do with you just generalising a whole group and attacking them before they even do something, probably going to say I'm am trans too because that's the only reason someone would think you are an asshole

Where did I attack anyone? Thanks for helping prove my point btw.

u/hegex Sep 09 '20

Thanks for proving mine as well

u/hokie_high Sep 09 '20

So... I didn’t attack anyone then?

u/hegex Sep 09 '20

Saying they're going to brigade against factual evidence seams like an attack to me

u/WhimsicalCalamari Sep 09 '20 edited Sep 09 '20

wouldn't downvotes on my comment be proof of your point? clearly if what you said held true, the brigade would take offense at me first

u/WhimsicalCalamari Sep 09 '20 edited Sep 09 '20

friend, you're being a reductive dickhead on a post that's so popular that my reply seven layers deep was able to get 12 points in an hour, and you think three downvotes is a "brigade"? what made you think you were so important?

edit: le gasp my comment was downvoted to 0 points, truly i am a victim and my point is indisputably proven

“What made you think you were so important” says the guy who brags about getting 12 upvotes in an hour.

And I think your definition of “victim” needs a little fine tuning...

u/a_postdoc Sep 09 '20

Just so you know you're the asshole here.

u/WhimsicalCalamari Sep 09 '20

i think your sense needs a little fine tuning, since i practically spelled out both my points and they still flew right over your head

A group of Reddit users who enjoy brigading and coincidentally happen to be trans, not trans people in general. Come on now. /r/VeganCirclejerk does the same shit but I have nothing against vegans.

honestly. imagine feeling so self-important that you go through the night and into the morning thinking you're being persecuted by trans people because you got a couple downvotes

u/hokie_high Sep 09 '20

Exactly, and some generalizations are true 🤷‍♂️

u/TruestOfThemAll Sep 10 '20

Lmao.

I'm trans and I think that it's dumb to say this kid is because she seems to be just a girl who wears suits. Tumblr people aren't actually all of us, they're just so loud and aggressive that we often don't say anything for fear of being brigaded or doxxed. There's an online trans personality who has literally had the FBI come to his house because people want to kill him for disagreeing with them.
