They want so bad to pin this on trans people

Edit: Axios just published this info. Seems like there’s some truth to it https://archive.is/20250913234558/https://www.axios.com/2025/09/13/kirk-suspect-transgender-roommate

    The “evidence” the tabloid media has of the claim that the alleged shooter’s alleged roommate is allegedly transgender is two-year-old TikTok video where the roommate used a filter to look like a female anime character. Trash media is trash.

      Holy shit this is absurdly flimsy. So this guy has:

      • No posts about painting Warhammer figurines
      • No posts about gunpla kits
      • No indicator of regularly drinking Pipeline Punch flavor Monster drinks
      • Nothing about Fallout: New Vegas, or Celeste, or Delta Rune
      • No pics of a Blahaj
      • No posts about hyperpop groups or experimental electronic music
      • No posts complaining about transphobia, which you’d expect SINCE IT’S LITERALLY ALL WE FUCKING DEAL WITH EVERY GOD DAMN DAY

      And he’s supposedly trans? GTFO

        everything about this case is so weird and confusing, mostly because they are fucking desperate to pin this on a lib/leftist/trans/racialminoirty etc. and they’re jumping on the most flimsy shit immediately before having to walk it back when the simple answer is that a white guy from a conservative family in utah that shot someone is way way way more likely to be a chud than anything else

          It doesn’t matter tbh, they’ll invent whatever nonsense and believe it unequivocally

            Looks like Daily Mail is starting to slowly walkback what they were saying earlier about the trans roommate: https://xcancel.com/adamscochran/status/1966934350538191174#m

            They’re actually interrogating people he knew if he associated with anyone who is trans. Totally bizarre.

          Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but the fact that they keep claiming he’s a leftist but have 0 evidence, despite having him literally dead to rights, says a lot.

      He liked anime therefore he’s trans.

      Ironclad.

          My literal neo-nazi coworker is in love with anime. It’s the only thing he talks about, when he isn’t lecturing me on his nazi bullshit.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
