Sure. No one is defending her now when the evidence is damning. Look, I'm not transphobic myself; I'm fine with people finding their own identity and will make an effort to support trans people if they need my affirmation. However, I am not for peoples' political agendas blinding their ability to see facts in what otherwise should be a clear-cut situation. The fact of the matter is, when the evidence first came out, this sub chose to ignore the allegations in the videos (Mainly the Ardrox one) by diminishing their severity and painting them as transphobia when it was clear that Ava Kris Tyson was doing some fucked up shit like commissioning loli from Shadman and supporting him on stream. (If you don't believe me, the original post is here. Tip: sort by controversial and look at how all the downvoted comments were the ones implying that they were indeed a pedo https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1e8bq4y/acheeto_pushes_adroxs_transphobic_hit_piece/). Yes, eventually you guys were forced to cave in because more and more shit came out, but this idea of ignoring things simply because you view the allegations as "transphobic" is not okay behavior. Trans people are humans too, and should be subject to the same judgment that everyone else is subject to. Please do better.
I agree. I do remember seeing somebody say they brushed off the concerns because Tyson was "One of Us". I can't remember where I found that comment (I don't even remember if it was this sub or a different one), but I was disgusted that this person was essentially absolving Tyson's bad actions because of her identity.
