One of my favorites from the last month or two was this utterly incredible true story posted on r/aita ("Am I the Asshole"):

Some background.

I 17m about 8 months ago met the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, we became friends because of our shared hobbies and somehow I got lucky enough that we started dating 6 months ago. About a week into dating she told me that she was trans, mtf. I accepted this and had no problem with dating her. She was happy and as I've said me and 17f have been dating for 6 months. She has met my family multiple times and about a month ago she told them she was trans as well. Everyone accepted or if they didn't they kept their mouths shut. Everyone except one.

My sister 24f got huffy and started to ignore my gf. She asked me later how I expected to have kids one day if I was dating a fake woman. I told her to shut up and I don't want kids anyway. She got quiet and that was that. My sisters wedding is in 3 months and she sent out invites to rsvp a few days ago. Everyone is allowed to bring a +1 I choose my gf and sent in the rsvp. Today she came by and while hanging out with my parents she told me my gf couldn't come. When I asked why she said and I quote "I don't want a delusional boy at my wedding" at first I wondered why she thought I was delusional, and then I realized she was talking about my gf. I told her to take that back and she said she's only speaking the truth. I called her a transphobe and said that either me and my gf go or I don't go at all. She said she's "not letting that creep into my wedding" . So I said to not expect me there either.

She laughed like she thought I wouldn't follow through with it. But I withdrew my rsvp and threw her wedding gift in the trash. Now she's pissed and is getting everyone else involved. My parents are staying neutral. My sisters fiance is actually on my side (love that guy) along with my uncle. My aunt and cousin's are on mysjsters side and and some are pressuring me to go because it's my sister's big day. Others want me to just keep the peace, and my aunt was just as translhobic as my sister. My gf said I don't have to destroy my relationship with my sister over her buy I told her that if my sister was like this then it would have ended someday anyway so it might as well be now.

But I'm wondering, aita for splitting the family up between supporting me and supporting my sister

That was then followed up with an "update" post which was even more incredibly true and amazing:

So it's been about a month since I posted and it's been a fun one. So my sister received a couple of ultimatums, the first was from her fiance who told her that if she didn't apologize for how she acted and what she said, that he would call off the wedding. She half assed it bit I accepted it because shes annoying enough already. In my previous post people believed my parents were transphobic for not taking a side, bit they aren't, they have been nothing but kind to my gf. Me and my sister are their only kids and they want grandkids, I never want kids and I've made thus clear. My sister wants a big family, and my parents have reasoned that I'd she does throw a kid out for being gay and or trans that they could take them in if that ever happened.

My parents asked me if they would be OK with them going to her wedding, I gave them my blessing (which felt weird asf ngl) and they gave my sister an ultimatum, either she invites me or they dont go, she relented and reinvited me but not my gf so I'm still not going but my parents will, I'm fine with this compromise. My parents have set aside some money and told me to take my gf on a nice date that night, so my plan is to take her to dinner and then we get to see a movie opening night. My sister's wedding fell on the same day as the movie so it all worked out I guess. Me and my gf are still together, she's currently wrecking people In smash with me while I type this. All in all life is good, after her apologies I have gone no contact with my sister, I unfortunately haven't been in contact with her fiance which sucks because I've known him since I was little but I have a feeling he understands. Anyway that's the update, have a damn good one guys.

LOL! There was and entire thread of stupid mf'ers (everyone except all the "removed by moderator" commenters? hmm....) that seriously believed the following:

1. Some other stupid asshole knew a mtf trans guy (high school age, so no surgery/hormone manipulation, as if even that makes too big a difference) for 2 whole months, dated them for a week, and had absolutely zero idea that "girl" (literally, "most beautiful girl I've ever seen"), was a d00d?
2. The sister having a wedding made a bunch of comments (comments that suspiciously sounded exactly like the comments you'd hear, in a reddit thread defending trans men, attributed to what the "evil fascists" make) attacking the mtf guy, then banned them from her wedding. (That last part is actually believable to me, because would who want this sort of drama at their wedding...)
3. The sister's fiance sided with the brother/mtf guy, and threatened to call off the wedding with the sister unless the sister groveled before them.
4. The parents groveled before the brother/mtf guy, and asked for their blessing to attend the sister's wedding?
5. The parents only want to attend the wedding in the first place because they are worried the sister may have trans kids, and that they'd have to raise them when the sister throws them out?

Wow! So amazing! That the mtf guy was the most beautiful ever! That literally everyone sided with them! That everyone is keeping an eye on that evil sister, to make sure she doesn't abuse her future trans children! And then Albert Einstein clapped.

Seriously... who - in the fuck - would believe that happened??? Other than other trans activists, obviously?

She laughed like she thought I wouldn't follow through with it. But I withdrew my rsvp and threw her wedding gift in the trash. Now she's pissed and is getting everyone else involved. My parents are staying neutral. My sisters fiance is actually on my side (love that guy) along with my uncle. My aunt and cousin's are on mysjsters side and and some are pressuring me to go because it's my sister's big day. Others want me to just keep the peace, and my aunt was just as translhobic as my sister. My gf said I don't have to destroy my relationship with my sister over her buy I told her that if my sister was like this then it would have ended someday anyway so it might as well be now.

But I'm wondering, aita for splitting the family up between supporting me and supporting my sister

That was then followed up with an "update" post which was even more incredibly true and amazing:

So it's been about a month since I posted and it's been a fun one. So my sister received a couple of ultimatums, the first was from her fiance who told her that if she didn't apologize for how she acted and what she said, that he would call off the wedding. She half assed it bit I accepted it because shes annoying enough already. In my previous post people believed my parents were transphobic for not taking a side, bit they aren't, they have been nothing but kind to my gf. Me and my sister are their only kids and they want grandkids, I never want kids and I've made thus clear. My sister wants a big family, and my parents have reasoned that I'd she does throw a kid out for being gay and or trans that they could take them in if that ever happened.

My parents asked me if they would be OK with them going to her wedding, I gave them my blessing (which felt weird asf ngl) and they gave my sister an ultimatum, either she invites me or they dont go, she relented and reinvited me but not my gf so I'm still not going but my parents will, I'm fine with this compromise. My parents have set aside some money and told me to take my gf on a nice date that night, so my plan is to take her to dinner and then we get to see a movie opening night. My sister's wedding fell on the same day as the movie so it all worked out I guess. Me and my gf are still together, she's currently wrecking people In smash with me while I type this. All in all life is good, after her apologies I have gone no contact with my sister, I unfortunately haven't been in contact with her fiance which sucks because I've known him since I was little but I have a feeling he understands. Anyway that's the update, have a damn good one guys.

LOL! There was and entire thread of stupid mf'ers that seriously believed the following:

1. Some stupid asshole knew a mtf trans for 2 whole months, dated them for a week, and had absolutely zero idea that "girl" (literally, "most beautiful girl I've ever seen"), was a d00d?
2. The sister having a wedding made a bunch of comments (comments that suspiciously sounded exactly like the comments you'd hear, in a reddit thread defending trans men, attributed to what the "evil fascists" make) attacking the mtf guy, then banned them from his wedding. (That last part is actually believable to me, because would who want this sort of drama at their wedding...)
3. The sister's fiance sided with the brother/mtf guy, and threatened to call off the wedding with the sister unless the sister groveled before them.
4. The parents groveled before the brother/mtf guy, and asked for their blessing to attend the sister's wedding?
5. The parents only want to attend the wedding in the first place because they are worried the sister may have trans kids, and that they'd have to raise them when the sister throws them out?

Wow! So amazing! That the mtf guy was the most beautiful ever! That literally everyone sided with them! That everyone is keeping an eye on that evil sister, to make sure she doesn't abuse her future trans children! And then Albert Einstein clapped.

Seriously... who - in the fuck - would believe that happened??? Other than other trans activists, obviously?

Almost all the big subs are absolutely filled with LARP stuff like that. Stuff that "starts a dialogue" (and that dialogue is steered into creating the appearance of a false consensus). It fits in with the purpose of the activists having seized those subs in the first place: reddit is in the top 10 most visited sites on the internet; if you can wield it like a weapon, it's massive platform to set the public narrative on.

One of my favorites from the last month or two was this utterly incredible true story posted on r/aita ("Am I the Asshole"):

Some background.

I 17m about 8 months ago met the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, we became friends because of our shared hobbies and somehow I got lucky enough that we started dating 6 months ago. About a week into dating she told me that she was trans, mtf. I accepted this and had no problem with dating her. She was happy and as I've said me and 17f have been dating for 6 months. She has met my family multiple times and about a month ago she told them she was trans as well. Everyone accepted or if they didn't they kept their mouths shut. Everyone except one.

My sister 24f got huffy and started to ignore my gf. She asked me later how I expected to have kids one day if I was dating a fake woman. I told her to shut up and I don't want kids anyway. She got quiet and that was that. My sisters wedding is in 3 months and she sent out invites to rsvp a few days ago. Everyone is allowed to bring a +1 I choose my gf and sent in the rsvp. Today she came by and while hanging out with my parents she told me my gf couldn't come. When I asked why she said and I quote "I don't want a delusional boy at my wedding" at first I wondered why she thought I was delusional, and then I realized she was talking about my gf. I told her to take that back and she said she's only speaking the truth. I called her a transphobe and said that either me and my gf go or I don't go at all. She said she's "not letting that creep into my wedding" . So I said to not expect me there either.

She laughed like she thought I wouldn't follow through with it. But I withdrew my rsvp and threw her wedding gift in the trash. Now she's pissed and is getting everyone else involved. My parents are staying neutral. My sisters fiance is actually on my side (love that guy) along with my uncle. My aunt and cousin's are on mysjsters side and and some are pressuring me to go because it's my sister's big day. Others want me to just keep the peace, and my aunt was just as translhobic as my sister. My gf said I don't have to destroy my relationship with my sister over her buy I told her that if my sister was like this then it would have ended someday anyway so it might as well be now.
