Do they lack the self awareness that they are literally doing the thing this woman accused them of doing, ie calling us names - Or do they just not care?

When you actually click on the article, the title then changes to "Woman burns Nike sports bra in pathetic protest over collab with trans TikToker Dylan Mulvaney".

So we're petty, we're trolls, and we're pathetic. Fab, thanks.

Petty troll burns Nike sports bra over collab with trans TikToker Dylan Mulvaney

An anti-trans pundit has burned two of her Nike sports bras as a signal of her boycott following Dylan Mulvaney's ad campaign.

I found it searching for ‘chatterbox mama’ on twitter and finding someone else’s link.

I expect that penis news realised that people seeing the link would not be jumping to the ‘petty troll’ conclusion. And yes, she made comparison with the 60s bra burning.

If you’ve got a history of misogynistic posts then it’s a reasonable assumption that the words used in your latest post are misogynistic.

She reminds me of all the scumbags who started screeching at Nike for making Colin Kaepernick the face of an advertisement after he kneeled instead of standing during the US national anthem.

‘Petty troll’ is an apt description.

Oh! You’re back! Did you see all the debunking stuff about The Disinformation Project?

I believe that is the unstated comparison we are supposed to make, yes.

Poor Colin, getting lumped in with Dyl.

”Did you see all the debunking stuff about The Disinformation Project?”

You mean we never got an acknowledgment that the Disinformation Project was aptly named as it spread disinformation in the name of social justice rather than debunked disinformation?

What a surprise, eh?

I sometimes feel that some posters post laughing if anyone thinks they are serious in what they post.

Land didn’t come back to Land’s own thread - not even to acknowledge that Sean Plunket was back on Twitter within two days of the suspension that Land posted about.

Very strange behaviour.

To me, TikTok user and bra burner Chatterbox Mama is Colin Kaepernick.

Burning Nike bras = taking the knee.

Those screeching she's a troll etc. are the scumbags?

Dylan is a misogynist prick whose pathetic impersonation of femaleness is bigoted and unhinged, it makes women's skin crawl.

Calling someone a "petty troll" or any other name, doesn't mean calling everyone who shares a single opinion with that person, a "petty troll".

It's PinkNews, so that's exactly what they're saying

@SpicyMoth I think she is great and more power to her, especially if she pisses off the creeps at Penis News.

Land's posts are always a bit of a reach .

But when I see that moniker I usually have Ball of Confusion by the Temptations as an ear worm for the rest of the day!

Probably because my username starts with 'I', I always read it as 'I and OF', then wonder who OF is....

Idk man, it's just kind of an issue for me when someone with the platform of followers Dylan has is pushing for children to be able to medically transition, multiple companies use them as a sponsor, and when women voice their opposition, we're labelled petty, trolls, pathetic, scumbags, terfs, screeching, the list literally goes on and on.
The mountain of names JKR is called and threats she receives are a prime example of the response.

The main issue for me, is Dylan encouraging transitioning minors to the literal POTUS.
The rest, the "performance" of his desired gender verging on being offensive stereotypes is just icing on the cake that makes my eyes roll from the sheer over the top-ness of it.

If Dylan had had breast surgery, I'd probably be a bit less bothered re; Nike specifically, because then at least there's a reason for a sports bra sponsorship.
But I still wouldn't be happy about it because of the type of political statements Dylan promotes.
Minor's can't consent, I don't think anyone who suggests they can should be a sponsor of, well, anything at all tbh.

For clarity that this is about "message" and not simply because Dylan identifies as trans. In my mind, the same also applies to Daniel Radcliffe and the things he's been coming out with lately.
