I think this is almost certainly a case of confirmation bias of you stringing together two people to form your own narrative to conform to a theory of identity politics. Unless you can show me the users who actively did this this seems like idealist thinking to claim it inherently transphobic rather than hypocritical.
Hexbear is full of these types. A lot of left leaning spaces, lib, radlib or even the myriad flavours of ml/maoist/dengist/etc... are more forgiving of people that are closer to the heteronormative racial masculine ideal. And that is not idealist idenity BS.
Unexaminded reactionary biases did cause the failure of several socialist movements, such as the new left in 80s germany or the post ww1 american communist party.
While this is true and must always cause us to re-examine our own biases, to imply that these two creators even have the same viewers and their difference in blowback for bad opinions thus must be attributed to transphobia has a higher burden of proof than "cis energy"
Sorry, just to be clear, do you mean people with reactionary biases or people calling out reactionary biases?
With the biases. The other makes less sense in context of what I wrote.
Here's one post about Viki where a user brought up the really islamophobic comment she had made: https://hexbear.net/comment/5730673
Here's the last post from that user: https://hexbear.net/post/4672233
This is the only post discussing her islamophobic statement I found. I'm not gonna say that 1 instance makes a pattern, that would be a hasty generalization, but hopefully it's not hard to see the point.
No I genuinely don't see your point, what actually is it?
