By “pipeline” I mean the pipeline where all the algorithms that be are recommending you seemingly innocuous content alongside your usual things, but it slips the odd “maybe the trans people shouldn’t be able to ask you to use their correct pronouns” in with the rest. I am personifying, sure.

Disgusting people have said correct things before, but I do not put myself in a position to hear what they have to say generally. I don’t write off every view or opinion that someone has once I have discovered them for their ugliness. But I do approach their words with more scrutiny.

The pipeline is real - it is in part a sad accident of how the popular social media algorithms work, in part an intentionally manufactured thing by the most powerful machine of the modern age which no individual can withstand (marketing and advertising, alongside the ultra wealthy), all wrapped up with some good old boiling of the frog.

I truly don’t have nearly as much energy for this conversation as you clearly do - and I do not mean that negatively. If you find value in anything they say, more power to you, I won’t stop you.

You have made some deeply, deeply heavy assumptions about me, my point I was making in my original comment, and my assumptions about you (of which I have precisely zero) that all go way beyond what I said, however, and I think that you may find that worth examining in your own time, or not
