[post removed]

After some very serious consideration, I'm taking the original content of this post down. Since reopening the comments last night, I've gotten about a dozen, most of them falling back on nearly identical talking points. I found out earlier this afternoon that all of those commenters are coming from the same blog post where they seem to have all gathered.

I have no interest in becoming the community pinata for a group of terminally online teenagers, I'm taking this post down before someone escalates things.

The comments section has been erased.

All of that said, the reading comprehension on this site is piss-poor, and the culture of enabling conspiracy theorists, propagandists, and people spreading hateful narratives to say whatever they want while calling anything vaguely critical of them "harassment" is going to destroy this site.
