The reaction mandating the legitimization of someone all-but-identifying as an attack helicopter. This is the sort of thing that if I saw in a satire of online trans spaces, I would have rejected as an excessively absurd exaggeration even for mean-spirited satire.
I would say that, in all fairness, that could be read not as an endorsement of the idea of attack helicopter as a gender itself, but as a defense of it in reclamation/shibboleth/slang term, the way that some queer folk playfully call themselves ‘faeries’ despite the history of the term, without meaning to imply that they are literally the fae folk of yore.
… but her actions regarding drag do not inspire confidence in that interpretation.
which reaction? clearly stating that a rule would be enforced strictly before enforcing it strictly?
come on, man, you’re better than this lmao

I suppose I thought too highly of people.
Admin specifically endorsed attack helicopter as an identity.
