That thread is a HOOT! Here is a great example of just how confusing these 'woke folk' have made things. They can't even understand it themselves!
This response from one of the smarter ones over there gets this started...
Had to drop the mangling of the English language to make her statement clear.

If you really want to be amazed at how mangled and confusing "woke" writing has become this thread is a classic example:

They Were Best Friends and Cosplay Stars. Then Snow Killed Helen
Helen Hastings, 19, was shot in the head by her best friend, Yandere Snow. But after Snow was charged with manslaughter and kept posting, the cosplay community was left to wonder what really happened

This is how Helen Hastings, 18, would have spent the past year: they (Refers to just Hastings.) would have been a sophomore at Oberlin College, a small liberal-arts school about an hour outside Cleveland, playing Dungeons and Dragons every Saturday in the dank basement of Burton Hall on North Quad, trying to sidetrack the game by reciting the entirety of the “Shrimp Heaven Now” dialogue from the podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me. Helen, who used both the “she” and “them” pronouns, would have chased her Siberian therapy cat Willa down the halls of their dorm, picking up the tufts of fur she shed between her paws (Hastings apparently had really hairy feet.) They (Refers to just Hastings or perhaps Hastings and her cat?) would have flounced around the snow-blanketed campus in shorts or a floral skirt (Hastings cat apparently liked to wear shorts and skirts?), refusing to put on a coat even when their friends (Hastings' friends, or the cat's friends?) begged them to; and when the frigid Ohio winters started to thaw, they would have spent lazy Sunday afternoons in the swing chair on the lawn outside their dorm.
She (She who? Is this someone else or is it Hastings?) would have completed the first year of what she hoped would be a triple-degree in art, psychology, and neurobiology; maybe she (Still don't know who we're talking about here.) would have decided to focus on only one of those things, or two, or none at all. They (Hastings, her cat or both of them?) would have gone to Anime Matsuri, the giant cosplay convention held in Houston every year, where maybe they (Still no idea who we're talking about here.) would have dressed as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, the surly mutant telepath from the Deadpool franchise; Helen bore such a strong resemblance to the character that kids at cons would routinely stop in their tracks. She (Maybe the cat is female?) could have done an internship, in art or calligraphy or biochemistry. She (Wow, this is one smart cat.) had done bacterial microbiology work at the lab of her mother (Should that be their mother?) , who works in molecular biology, the prior spring, and was excited about the opportunity to possibly have her name (Whose? Mom's, daughter's or cat's?) put on a paper. They (Mom and daughter? Mom and cat? Who knows.) could have traveled around the country. They could have done anything (Well the cat certainly impressed me.).
Instead, Helen was killed; shot in the head in an apparent accident by her friend, a TikTok-famous cosplayer. Mary-Anne Oliver-Snow, a.k.a. Yandere Freak, a.k.a. Yandere Snow, a.k.a. Snow the Salt Queen, was a minor celebrity in the cosplay community, racking up 1.6 million TikTok followers for their performances of various Japanese anime characters. Snow, who goes by “they/them” pronouns, was particularly well-known for cosplaying characters from a series called Danganronpa, a Japanese video game in which teens are locked inside a school with a murderous bear and forced to fight to the death.
Snow, 23, was the leader of a tight-knit social circle including Hastings that was extremely popular on the Houston cosplay circuit. “They were like celebrities,” says Gem Piinker, a friend of Helen’s in the local community. “I hate to admit it, but the drama that follows Snow is what brought [that group] together. There was always something to talk about.” Snow was also notorious for stoking controversy among cosplayers in Houston, where they lived. “They were the Regina George of the community,” says Dolly Lace, a Houston cosplayer who knew Snow.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215983733I had to read the rest of article to see if it remained equally confusing and it only got worse. So in the spirit of "wokeness" Rolling Stone managed to turn a tragic event into an Abbott and Costello routine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTcRRaXV-fgVercetti2021 claims to be a biological man who thinks he's a woman who is getting ready to marry a biological woman. Which makes him...um, lemme think about it, um... a dreaded heterosexual. So why does he refer to himself as queer? Does he think that a man, dressed as a woman, sleeping with a woman, makes him a lesbian? But that still doesn't make him queer, does it? Or does the biological woman he's getting ready to marry think she's a man? Opps, right back to heterosexual. So even the most vocal BLTGACVBNM supporters can't define the terms that are supposed to be used when referring to them. And they will attack anyone not using the proper term, which changes weekly. One thing that is pellucidly clear (to steal a mangled phrase from the short bus), he can't escape the reality that he's just a mentally ill heterosexual who, if red flag laws worked, would absolutely not be allowed to have a firearm. He routinely discusses his paranoia, his hatred and rage towards perceived enemies and his fantasies about killing those that he feels are threatening. The fact that he is waking around concealed carrying is a danger to everyone around him. But the gun-grabbing DUmmies won't point out that he's exhibiting all the behavior of a mass shooter.
