I stumbled across the latest criticism of Ro and it's fascinating how often the phrase "every accusation is a confession" came to mind as I read the replies that I could see. "Purity death spiral," "good intentions but egos and self-righteousness got in the way," and of course this is why they think Ro is a right-wing troll.
Someone said "if [Ro] wasn't queer, he'd be a Nazi." Funny, because it's not the Black queers who say their queerness is why they can't be Nazis, it's the white ones.

@bright_helpings the other day i saw a post that was like ‘it’d be good for fedi to remember that not every criticism of you is racist or transphobic’ and i was like ‘hmmm thats a good point, kinda odd they included racism tho when historically that hasnt been an issue on fedi the way accusations of queer/transmisia have been’ and then i clicked through and they’d boosted a whole bunch of posts defending one of the mods who’d attacked Ro 🙄😬
