When a nazi who claimed to identify as nonbinary shot up Club Q, the right wing disinfosphere obsessed over the shooter's gender identity and ignored the fact that the shooter is a nazi who posted homage to Breivik. They became the "nonbinary mass shooter".
When a right-wing extremist who happened to be a furry was apparently inspired by Andy Ngo to carry out a mass shooting of protestors, the right-wing dubbed him the "furry mass shooter".
When nazis who happened to listen to heavy metal and dressed differently carried out the Columbine mass shooting, the media dubbed them "the trenchoat mafia" and obsessed over heavy metal, they bever never mentioned the shooters' nazi beliefs.
Violent right-wing extremist Andy Ngo has been locked out of Twitter after apparently violating the site's Terms of Service prohibiting violent speech. At least two of Andy Ngo's tweets were ruled to be violations.
The lockout comes after a nearly 24-hour relentless barrage of anti-trans propaganda from Ngo, which also saw Ngo's network of fellow propagandists spreading transphobic hoaxes lifted straight from 4chan.
Andy Ngo has been suspended or locked out of Twitter multiple times for various violations including hate speech and doxxing.
