The other day, I saw a post which had this screenshot in it
People pointed out that “June” not only called a trans person a slur (ok*ma), they also said “go and do what the person in Nashville did”. Then, “June” argued “where did I say anything about a shooter” and “you can’t speak for my intentions”. They also made the same argument to defend Elon Musk when he made a Nazi salute. “You cannot speak for other people’s intentions” they said.
What’s the best way to respond to people who use “you can’t speak for my intentions” to gaslight people, especially when they’re using it to try and get away with saying something terrible?
why did they call someone an okama while speaking english
From what I recall, the trans person that “June” is responding to on Discord is Japanese. “June” argued they didn’t know the Japanese language well and thought that “Okama” was something out of the “One Piece” anime.
They apologized to the trans person when other people, by their own admission, had “convinced” them to do so, saying they did not know Japanese well. Their apology made no mention of the part about them telling the trans person to go and do what the Nashville school shooter (Aiden Hale, who was trans) did.
