Yesterday I objected to the lies being spread about Gina Carano. I hate lies in general, but I especially hate them when they're used to tear down people in a guilt-by-association purge. The problem with Gina Carano isn't that she's racist or antitrans, as those are proven lies. They problem is that she's Red Tribe. Since everyone knows that Red Tribe is super racist and super antitrans, if you can find even a the smallest thing that is kinda cringy you don't need anything more than that. The vast majority of people I talked to never read any of Carano's original tweets, they simply read the summary of "anti-trans" or "anti-semitic", believed it, and spread the narrative with outrage in their voices. Because look at that Red Triber being so typically Red Tribe! We can't have this sort of bigotry in public society, there must be consequences for this behavior!
