if cis gay men making jokes at the expense of trans women is more important to you than trans women trying to exist in online spaces you are what's wrong with the queer community

hey, why the fuck are you still reblogging dyatlovpassingprivilege when they have still yet to apologize for their transmisogyny around the megapope situation and when asked to address it have doubled down and cattily deflected. other trans women are watching and we're noticing how you keep silently platforming transmisogynists while vocally decrying them. it's a shame because i really like your blog otherwise. and please don't feed me that "nicey time on the computer" bullshit. this matters

because i think you're asking this in good faith i will answer in kind! basically, i think that the logic you're operating on uses a definition of 'platforming' that isn't really useful to anybody. like, the only thing i can think of that i've reblogged from dyatlov recently is a screenshot of that godawful aztec game's steam page. i reblogged it because it was posted in a discord server i was in and i wanted to point out that they wrote 'describtions' because lol they wrote describtions and i didn't especially care who posted it. i don't think there's any harm being done--any 'platforming' taking place here. when people say you shouldn't reblog posts from terfs or nazis, it's not because there's some inherent moral contagion present, but because those are organized political groups who use their tumblr blogs as recruitment platforms.

like, terfs and crypto-terfs especially will openly structure their blogs around getting people to follow them for innocuous joke or feminist theory posts and then actively attempt to recruit from among their non-terf followers. that's why you are actually 'platforming' them if you reblog their posts. this isn't the case with dyatlov! dyatlov is just a dumb cis guy who said something shitty and transmisogynistic. it sucks that he did that and it sucks that he refused to acknowledge it but it is what it is and there's no organized recruitment or propaganda process i'm contributing to by reblogging a post from the guy. you contrast 'platforming' vs. 'decrying' them as if one is a material and one is a purely performative action but they are in fact both fairly trivial and immaterial actions--it's all posting on blog.

tldr, i think i've made my opinion on the matter perfectly clear, and i don't think that's undermined because i reblogged a post about a video game to point out the video game guys made a funny typo
