Yeah, this is just run of the mill transphobic sealioning. They even complain about reddit having been run by tankies and repeated the “current thing” conservative reactionary trope. I’m totally fine if this kind of person doesn’t feel welcome here.

No I’m genuinely interested to hear your perspective and why it was a point of contention

I hate to say it but they were asked - what they have to say may be unappealing but someone did tell them to say it.

If you really want a space to talk freely about your concerns

They were brief, another user asked for a longer version. The user even intro’ed their comment with “my reticence to speak freely”, and then went ahead explaining since the other user seemed genuinely interested.

In a way this whole episode including your participation is very relevant to “avoid as the user base grows”. I also don’t think concern troll fits here, or maybe we use different definitions.

Personally, I wish people could get along with each other despite having different points of view. That’s one major, major value I see in platforms like this. I want to be exposed to views challenging my bubble.

He’s literally responding to a user who said

I’m genuinely interested to hear your perspective and why it was a point of contention

So he explained his perspective. Concern trolling lmao.

If you want a space where you don’t encounter other perspectives, there are plenty of spaces like that both in the real world and on the internet.
