“Charlie Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson was once served coffee by a trans barista” Like what the fuck are we even doing here? The dude apparently came from a religious MAGA gun loving family. He spent one semester at college with an *allegedly* trans roommate. But yeah somehow that *allegedly* trans roommate is what radicalized him to *checks notes* become a Groyper.

No literally like I knew they were bought out but I didn’t know that we just literally did not have any shred of real free press anymore. It’s all just the capitalists propaganda outlets. No journalistic integrity at all with any of them. I thought they had at least a little of that integrity left but no they will just put out blatantly false information to try to get us killed because big daddy CEO said so.

fbi press release just mentioned that bro had a roommate, then news outlets found out who it was and immediately tried bending the story to make it look like he was dating the roommate AND that the roommate was trans. P sure the roommate was actually his landlord, and the shooter just applied to a Craigslist ad 💀

No. I was just making a joke about the lengths people will go to justify transphobia and link trans people to shootings. Because, hypothetically, even if his roommate was trans, or even his partner was trans, what does that have to do with anything? Is the logical conclusion supposed to be ‘Oh yeah, that tracks. He had a trans person in his life. That’s why he committed this act of violence.’ If it wasn’t his roommate, they would’ve been stretching some other random person in his life.
