Calls for harassment abound. Their entire site is currently replaced with a page stating that have been a target of DDoS but conveniently is able to use that space to further mock, insult, and misgender Near, call them a liar, and their death a hoax. Prior to this, the site's users were bolstered by the openly transphobic statements of Gygax Jr. and LaNasa, and Dineheart et. al, and they are not the only dark corner of the internet who were, either. At this point, 3SR and Giantlands finding success in spite of these statements would further embolden others to take their transphobia mainstream, and use their access to the internet to hunt, stalk, doxx, harass, and threaten us just because of who were are.So when you say "no one is hunting us", that is demonstrably false. When you say "no one is calling for our oblieteration", that is demonstrably false.You can either challenge bigots in the public square and ensure they do not succeed, or you can allow them go unchallenged and make this hobby, the internet, and the world a less safe place to be transgender or gender non-comforming in.There isn't a fence, with two equally valid and precious lawns on either side. This is a moving walkway, running against progress, and if you aren't actively pushing forward it's because you're fine letting it slide backward.</blockquote>
