Empathy is a tool. You can’t convince anyone of anything if you don’t understand where they’re coming from.

It would be great if she hadn’t had a trauma response to the baying hordes of incels calling themselves “Allies,” giving transphobic shitbags an opportunity to radicalize her by calling her good and smart and brave.

Glad we’ve crystallized your take, “ChatGPT for how to make liberals look like idiotic, thin-skinned, ignorant  jackasses.”

Of course, VxHDW is VERY SPECIFICALLY the reference point for why the “Velma” show sucks so deeply, haha!

Honestly; those two things have one origin:

Oh God…now it’s pretending that Rings of Power isn’t both terrible and offensive!
