you would hope they'd have some introspection and see this as a reason that maintaining anonymity online is a worthwhile pursuit

I'm not excusing the right's hypocrisy in doing this, but did ERA never think the shoe would someday be on the other foot? No, never. With anything. This is why you have all the ACAB prison abolitionists who post about how everything is run by an international white supremacist/jewnazi conspiracy where cruelty is the point also posts about how they want the police to spend more time arresting, imprisoning and murdering people who step out of line in their views. This is why they endlessly cry about how people have to work to get things they want and artists can't be free to do whatever they want then also post how they want a totalitarian system of forced labor for everyone that only produces what the elite want. They can only ever imagine themselves in charge even though they've never been in charge of anything except video game forums and most aren't even in charge of their own lives. (The being in charge of the forum thing is debatable too.)
Their system of justice has absolutely zero to do with what's happening or why, it's entirely and always only about who it is happening to. If it's happening to someone they like, no matter what it is or why it's happening, it's injustice. If it's happening to someone they don't, no matter what it is or why it's happening, it's justice. There are good people (me and those I like) and they deserve Heaven, and there are bad people (everyone who fails to be a good person) and Hell is too good for them.

Why can't we have the both worlds? A chaser groyper murderer. Right and left united.
You got a dark side, guess you're not the only one
What if we both tried fighting what we're running from?
We can't fix it if we never face it
What if we find a way to escape it?
We could be free, free
We can't fix it if we never face it

My limited understanding about groypers is that they:
1. mostly aren't white despite being white supremacists
2. are homosexual and/or sexual deviants
Have I been lied to by people mocking them on the internet?
Spoiler: (click to show)(click to hide) 3. Nazi Catboys

How is it reaching when you guys just spend the last three days talking about how Charlie Kirk wants all trans people dead?
Just this funny concept where they believe Kirk deserved to die for his bigotry but also expect that the shooter wanted Kirk to die for entirely different reasons

I don't know what Era is crying about. If a cisgendered white american male murdered charlie kirk to fight back against the anti-trans nazi right who want his girlfriend dead.. isn't that romantic?
who am kidding, it's Fox news running with another story to continue the outrage cycle.
Does ResetERA.com claim him again if it turns out he's a gay kid oppressed by his Mormon family who got radicalized online by groypers into murdering Kirk for being against catboys?

He literally did what Princess Bubblegum asked cis allies to do a few years ago.

Wait, this is the evidence he "dressed as Pepe"?
That's just a gropnik.
If it's true I'll denounce all my past hateful shitposts of trans folks.

He dressed as Sickos for Halloween. Sickos was appropriated as an emoticon by far-right hate site The Bire. You know who else was appropriated as an emoticon? Fascist genocide perpetrator Joanne who wants to see the streets run red with the blood of trans people. Oh, and Trump.

Resetera still trying to say this kid is right-wing because he's white and well off. Particularly ironic that they of all people seem to be unaware that kids often have different political opinions than their parents.
And I assure you that no one "to the right of Charlie Kirk" would have a girlfriend with a penis..or a flesh wound.

Remember to strike KKK Bernie and anyone who supports him or, say, Labour.
They should focus on how the trans partner is being extremely cooperative with the FBI. Patriot.
The problem is not that the extreme views “disqualify” of his decent views, but how the hell he come to this conclusions and why is worth his time to listen all that shit for run of mill “decent” opinions that probably most people have.
Feels like both dont want to actually discuss why his views were abhorrent and prefer just to silence one and another with gotchas. (Yeah, Benji, I know this also applies to me at times).
Both him and his dad are idiots.

Maybe if the left actually had a version of Charlie Kirk who went out and spoke on college campuses instead of sitting on some stream every day eating food and complaining it would help your cause. I didn't agree with Kirk but he actually put in the ground work. The online lefts issue is that they're so insulated that they are unwilling to speak with the other side. Creating some sort of common ground to pull aside centrists or center-rights who are questioning Trumps actions would be a nice idea compared to, you know, DUNKING on stupid jerk faces on reddit, twitter, or bluesky so you feel heckin validated.
Stop purity testing and actually have conversations. Something to think about. But I understand that a lot of y'all have anxiety and that's a lot of work.

Both him and his dad are idiots.  I think it's most likely the dad's point is more that one subset of views should not be how you evaluate a person's views versus their entire body of views. I don't think he literally means to spend your time listening to Charlie Kirk, that was assumed in the complaint from his son about Kirk's views. I figure if the son had said "Charlie Kirk is dumb and he was terrible at what he did" there wouldn't be the challenge from the dad because that's a legitimate reason to not listen to Kirk. I assume the son was lecturing his dad about what Kirk believed while the dad accurately suspected his son was repeating what he'd heard about Kirk and wasn't actually judging him based on any experience with his work.
A similar example would be all the posts denying that Destiny is "left-wing" because he said slurs or supports Israel while ignoring the other 90% of his views.
