Yeah the contrapoints video where she talks about when she used to be in places like that makes that pretty clear to me. Most trans spaces online have rules about aggressive self hating and especially against encouraging/reinforcing reasons of others in their self hating. 4chan does not, it is a place to wallow in “cleansing” self hatred.

it kinda feels nice to be called a slur tbh. Live in fear of it IRL but to see people just losing their shit and them not being able to do anything about other than scream it is really nice. Granted, im talking about toxic vrchat lobbies and not 4chan but I imagine it kinda carries over.

I also think that it’s about getting attention, adjacent to what you’re saying, even it’s shitty. They’re definitely not invisible in that space.

I quit browsing 4chan in 2008 or so because I realized it was a form of self harm. Transitioned 4 years later.
