cos ppl gotta learn not to take ppl so serious when they know its a troll. being a keyboard warrior doesnt give anyone any value. fighting w someone who is trolling is like fighting w a brick wall.

It's just when they're so absolutely wrong and objectionable in every way, it's kind of comforting. There are a lot of lowkey antisemites and transphobes in the public eye that are given platforms because they're not as obvious about it but when they're being obvious it's easier to get people on your side, you know?
