The whole phenomenon of Internet dipshits rubbernecking at Chris-Chan’s life is one of the most depressing things in the history of online culture. There are probably kids into this pointless spectacle today who were born after the “saga” (fuck off) started.
like, chris chan is fucked, but it really is insane how much time and effort and brainspace trans people take up in these peoples heads. we’re like .7% of the population if we’re being generous, only a fraction of that are visible, and look at all the legislation and vitriol targeted against us
I don’t want to defend the Chris Chan harassers, but mocking Sonichu and general online bullying of Chris was a thing years before she came out as trans.
Of course, her coming out as trans threw a bunch of gas on the fire because the people cyber bullying an autistic person also turned out to be transphobes :shocked-pikachu:
