I think most people would not agree that that's what this actually is. Plus, attacking people for having an opinion is not how you progress in ANY way, whether societal or technical. This likely means they have some ulterior motive i.e. they just want to see the world burn and they were never actually going to contribute anything meaningful in the first place. I always check the activity history of people like that, and look into what kind of person they are in general, what they typically say and what kind of opinions they have. Often you will be shocked, disgusted and saddened. One of the other like-minded people that posted a similar story here on lemmy about the same drama, literally has a picture on their social of them wearing a hat that says "gender terrorist" and they also sell explicit content of themselves on fansly.
defending bigotry isn't progress, and outright lying in the face of obvious bigotry isn't doing yourself - or anyone - any favors.
"don't believe your lying eyes" is a line that only works on the most stupid and gullible, and you're not going to get very far by telling your audience they're too stupid to know better.
oh, and if you think that defending bigotry is "contributing something meaningful," think again.
perhaps you should ask yourself: why do you like bigotry so much that you must dedicate so much time and effort and space to defending it? what sort of person does that make you?
it's not bigotry. this is a massive nothing burger.
"don't believe your lying eyes"
we covered that lie already. know any other tunes?
how about explaining why you so enthusiastically defend bigotry?
