-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Why was it important to say that the roommate was a transgender who was transitioning from male to female in the first place? Why not just say that he had a roommate and they are cooperating with the FBI to solve the issue? Why specifically add a part that should be irrelevant?
Unless ofcourse they have an agenda and want to lead the discourse in a certain direction.
Same reason they said the shooter supported trans people because "TRN" was on the bullet casings.
They want to demonise trans people.
Insane that the gender identity of a roommate/romantic partner is more important than the actual motive. They are sooo desperate.
Does hexbear not know about groyper culture? From what I’ve read, there are quite a few trans people who are firmly in the alt right. Apparently, incels have an obsession with fem boys and even nick fuentes has engaged in erotic behavior.
Part of me believes that this shit is way too nuanced for the MSM to report on accurately. Seems like it’s a wash and again, people are going to believe whatever confirms their beliefs
It's too nuanced and straight up bizarre even for people who are lgbtq unless they're very far into rabbit holes and obscure online subcultures. Reactionary and nazi femboys specifically hasn't been a rare thing for years, they seem (especially to cishets) like they'd overlap with trans women but that's not really the case. They're far closer to very misogynistic incels culturally than they are to tg and it's a complicated phenomenon but the thing with some people being into "men in uniforms" etc and other lowkey psychopaths because supposedly they're more macho and masculine is more well known and understood. It can be as stupid and shallow as that but disguised by tons of esoteric memery and terminally online slang. Maybe some pretense of ideology but it's just confused shit used as vibes and aesthetics. They still network and parrot far right crap though so functionally there's no real difference.
Transmedicalist binary trans people can also be comedically conservative and reactionary but we also don't talk about that openly.
I honestly think that there's an above average chance he's a groyper and the MSM and FBI just don't understand these Nazi freaks can be chasers.
The sexual liberalism merged with fash really is something that MSM/liberals are unprepared for.
They absolutely know and that's why they're trying to find a way to make that angle fit.
They are not misunderstanding anything here. They're trying to manufacture consent for a trans genocide the same way they've been manufacturing consent for ethnic/religious xenophobia and it's actually not working as well so they're having to shove it into the public consciousness even harder to make it work.
This is about divide and conquer and there's no benefit to targeting conservative white boys (their in-group) so of course they're ignoring that evidence.
The (now deleted) reddit account that's being used to "confirm" that the roommate is trans belonged to some far-right truscum 4chan poster in Utah who liked cryptocurrency and Jordan Peterson, so unless somehow the cishet white boy cop brat who used groyper memes and targeted someone only groypers gave a shit about somehow simultaneously had better politics than his trans roommate/landlord but also not better enough politics to understand why throwing your life away to remove a literal nobody grifter is a bad move, the safe bet is they were both far-right 4chan addicted gamer chuds regardless of their relationship.

Hang on, I thought the "kirk's assassin's roommate was trans" stuff was all speculative based on one reddit post or something.
i'm probably just not going to believe the media or a public figure on this person's gender identity unless it comes from an interview or public statement.
Yeah, why the hell are so many people here just assuming that the claim that this person is trans is true?
Literally it is misgendering to insist that someone is trans when they haven't come out and said so themselves, like lol people on here trying so hard they're circling back around into problematic.
i'm probably just not going to believe the media or a public figure ~~on this person's gender identity unless it comes from an interview or public statement.~~
it's so wild how desperate they are to make it about anything other than cis white right wing men being garbage. even if his room mate/partner were trans, the fuck does that have to do with anything? they aren't the one who shot someone. that's like saying "ted bundy's mom was a woman so ALL FEMOIDS ARE TO BLAME"
but you see if he was dating a trans person that means he can't be a conservative because all conservatives hate trans people. got'em.
We still don't know if this person is actually trans or not, do we?
old post. unsure if still accurate
no, and there's pretty good evidence they aren't. "Lancelotte", the alleged account of this roommate has a post joking about an anime filter turning them into a girl with the description saying something along the lines of "this shit doesn't know what it's looking at", which coincidentally is the post the stock image of this roommate comes from
it is complete and utter wholesale fabrication of evidence and facts to me.
it's not like the roommate was out publicly though. if I were in her position I would still want the press and courts to he/him me because i wasn't ready to socially transition at that stage, and obviously she wasn't either, because she had seemingly only told her friends
she literally did nothing wrong but her dickhead roommate/alleged partner did a shooting and now she's being outed on fox news
We should probably hold off on assigning pronouns to this person before we actually know for sure what they identify as.
So far all we have is very inconclusive.
