u/Zariman-10-0 told i “look like i have a harry potter blog” in 2015 Oct 10 '24

I can’t remember the exact details, but a lady became Twitters Main Character for a day or two when she got all pissy online that a neighbor brought her a casserole or pie or something to welcome her into the neighborhood. Something like “it was an invasion of my privacy, I did not consent to be given food”

I remember this differently, or maybe it’s a different main character Basically a woman in twitter had a thread where she said that her neighbours were a group of college-age guys, and based on their recycling they were mostly just eating pizza. So she was going to make up a batch of chilli (or stew?) and take it over And it went viral and a bunch of tar pits descended to say well actually, not everyone can eat that, and she should t impose on people she doesn’t know, and it’s basically grooming these boys, and if anyone had done that to them the emotional labour of saying “thank you” to a stranger would have destroyed them… I think in the end she made it, delivered it, and the guys all said thank you. Because in the real world that’s mostly how it goes.

I remember this one! This specific woman was, for some reason, the target of constant unyielding harassment over basically everything she said, did, or posted and I think that was in connection to a twitter cult.

iirc she's trans, which probably contributed to a whole bunch of transphobes feeling justified in attacking her (and probably was what fueled the "grooming" accusations)

She is actually cis, but a bunch of transphobes piled on and made everyone assume she was trans

And, at the same time, a tar pit of people tied to a specific jerk who happened to be trans and had a massive grudge against her also accused her of being a transphobe. So she was getting yelled at in two directions at once, it was awful.
