So, Idk if this can go here or not. But I desperately need to vent. I was scrolling through facebook and I’ve been in this final fantasy group for awhile. I come across a post (that was posted by an admin) of a transgender woman before and after transitioning. Great, love to see it. Phenomenal. My comment was something along the lines of “I really love seeing posts like this I’m so happy for her”. Then my inbox flooded with people laugh reacting my comment and responding. I go back and look, turns out the page it was shared from is called “your daily dose of why” and people underneath the final fantasy post bashing this poor woman. So, essentially this facebook group is geared more towards hate speech than actual final fantasy. This is why I use Reddit way more than facebook. I’m not trans, and I’m actually distraught over this. I can’t imagine a trans individual coming across the post. Please just know you’re worth more than this. Also a friendly reminder to avoid this group at all cost. There’s 14k people in there and not 1 was defending her. I left immediately and reported it. I need to get off the internet for awhile I just can’t anymore.

Facebook is toxic all up and should be avoided entirely. (& all meta properties)
I think everyone needs to get off the internet, relearn critical thinking, and talk to their neighbors politely.
That’s a tactic, that Facebook is well aware of but does nothing about, where pages build their audience on a topic and then start introducing violent and/or harmful content. It games the algorithm into sharing and recommending their posts across to other Facebook users
I left facebook because I could see the direction it was going.
I’m really sorry you had that experience.
Also… BARD MAIN, my friend.
Im so sorry! The world has gone mad
I think people feel like it is productive because there are so few people they personally know that are trans and engaging in it seems ‘productive’ because they often do not need to face any meaningful opposition
I mean, it’s Facebook. And Instagram. Those two became a bastion for that kind of content for ages now.
