The wicked witch is gone but I don't think it's over until Gianni addresses it too. I posted about Gianni recently so ik it seems like I had a vendetta against him but I lowkey do tbh. I LOVED sebastian, I LOVED Gianni, there were so many people supporting him and his career and he decided to use us as a private army to ruin his own boss's life just to try to simp for a girl who was obviously lying if he had taken the time to look at the original document and see that the screenshots shown and the descriptions of what's in them don't match at all.

He's a professional and he could have acted like one at ANY point. It would have been COMPLETELY reasonable for him to go "I'm stepping down from Pressure because the work environment has gotten really hostile and I can't continue handling it." No one would have faulted him for this. Instead he decided to get PERSONALLY involved.

He signal blasted and lended credibility to Ren's doc IMMEDIATELY no questions asked, no neutrality, did not wait for Zeal's side.

He attacked all the people wanting to hear Zeal's side saying that they're the reason abuse victims don't speak up and calling them 'twitter nazis'. As more evidence of Ren came out he continued to double and triple down, saying she 'has no reason to lie,' but then betraying that he just didn't like Zeal when he said that he wouldn't support Zeal even if he was innocent.

He REPOSTED ZEALS SUICIDE NOTE. Claiming it's for 'evidence,' even though that CANNOT BE USED IN COURT. And had the absolute gall to caption it with "I don't care about his mom's wishes."

And now that everything is proven definitively, he is just going to ignore it? Take down his twitter so people can't call him out and go back to posting haha funny memes on youtube about puppygirls or whatever.

Gianni you could have killed someone. You used your community to ruin a man. Just because you didn't like him and the doc gave you an excuse to do it. If Zeal had died, that blood would have been on your community's hands because they trusted you. And more importantly, it would have been on yours.

I'm glad to see that Ren is finally getting what she deserved. But I don't think the war is over until Gianni addresses it. He is a huge part of how this all got started. It's one thing for twittizens to be uncritically sharing the document around and calling people nazis and such but when you are someone with influence, you cannot be acting like that, and you don't get to just rug sweep and walk away as if it didn't happen.

Don't want to be involved in "drama" (silly little word to describe defamation from false rape accusations and near suicide of a person)? Too bad. You MADE yourself involved, PERSONALLY, when no one told you to. You made this bed.

Gianni instantly signal blasting the document and pulling out as Sebastian was a huge part of how the harassment against Zeal started. I would be inclined to assume that, with how quickly he responded, he didn't even actually read the document, just skimmed the first page and instantly started a harassment campaign like a lot of the former Ren believers did. I'd be really interested in him making an honest statement about the harm he caused to Zeal doing that. He did a document awhile ago but it was mostly just a lot of PR repair and trying to straddle both sides like "I feel bad for Zeal and was perhaps hasty but I still 100% back Ren" and such.

I feel like I know so much about what is popular among transfemmes, but next to nothing about transmascs. Femtanyl/Hyperpop, the puppygirl aesthetic, 196, countwithchickenlady, "egg," Mechs, etc etc. I guess the subs I hang around just lean a lot more transfem (I picked up on a lot of this stuff from curatedtumblr) so I'm more in tune with that culture. Now that I've finally decided to transition I feel kind of lost and disconnected with *our* culture.

What music artists/genres are popular among us? What shows and games? What characters are most commonly headcanoned as allegorical of us? What gets most commonly used as allegory in our stories? What characters in shows actually canonically are transmasc? What are our subs (like silly hang out ones as opposed to qna and support ones like this one) and tumblr tags? What are our inside jokes? What are our most popular fashion aesthetics? Aside from just taking testosterone, what does it mean to be a trans man in terms of subculture? What do YOU like? Where do YOU hang around?

I'd love some of your recommendations/information so I can get in touch more with the community. I feel like I have a really clear picture in my head of what it is to be transfem and what scenes I'd hang around if I was, but transmasc is a bit of a black box. Maybe I was subconsciously avoiding everything to do with it back when I was in denial or something.

p.s.: yes i know its different for everyone and for some trans men they're completely stealth and don't make any kind of culture about it at all, but i'm specifically asking about whether there *is* a broadly transmasc subculture around the way the things i described are for transfem subcultures.
