I've already seen certain content creators using this exact logic too, that everyone criticizing it and sayings it's cringe is only doing so because they're transphobic. Ridiculous.
Are there transphobes who will use this as an opportunity to express their transphobic views? Of course.
But most are mad about how the mods are handling the fuck up that they caused in the first place and pretending it's just trolls. When it's people upset because the mod literally just played into Fox's hands and confirmed their audiences warped ideas.
I seriously don't understand how they can't just own up to it and make corrections to fix it. It's pathetic and it's damaging but hey at least that mod got some limelight I guess. Because that's the only reason I can see as a justification for doing the interview in the first place even after the community voted against it.

In the year of our lord 2022, apologizing is seen as a sign of weakness.
I hate the mindset that admitting failure is *losing*, and not an opportunity to learn and do better next time.

It is so deeply frustrating when accidental misgendering is perceived as malicious. If you present male, the vaaaaast majority of people will assume your gender is male. Is it right, is it fair? No, but it’s the current reality. Correcting errors is one thing; jumping to transphobia is another. I mean, fuck, we live in a world where people will claim *not to have pronouns*, and you still think they’re gonna ask what yours are? Nah
