You just made something click for me, a little unrelated to what you were saying. Maybe it’s pretty obvious but it hadn’t occurred to me before.
So: The initial observation was agreeing with you that some of the most lefty communities here are also some of the most simple-minded in terms of being tribal, supporting “our guys” instead of “their guys,” not being open to a situation with any level of nuance or where “our guys” actually did something bad, or anything like that
The part that clicked: As a consequence, it would make perfect sense for the troll accounts to go out of their way to cloak themselves in overt LGBTQ identity so that they get placed automatically into “our guys” and start with that level of protection and approval from the sometimes overly-simple-minded community
And behold, the two accounts I was talking about above are one who goes out of his way to let people know he’s gay, and an account that posts a heavy helping of generic trans activism alongside their anti-voting message
Sounds about right. The Arymandias account was on a mission to tell the LGBTQ community to boycott anything related to her. This was genuinely only a few days before the wave of ai generated porn of her over on Elon’s unmoderated playground. Looks like the most valuable resource of this next century will be a functional ’bullshit’ filter.
Oooooh

Call me Charlie Kelly, I guess
