Three Canadian off-duty police officers have been arrested over an alleged assault of a sex worker during their vacation in Barcelona, Spanish authorities said. One of the officers was suspended upon returning to Canada, the Toronto Police Service said. The other two officers will also be suspended when they return, police said. "The allegations are serious," Toronto's police deparment wrote in an emailed statement to the BBC. Toronto police did not release the officers' names and said they would not comment further while the cases were before the courts.

nope, sorry, it's for transfems specifically.

"-to check accounts for transphobia-"

you mean transmisogyny.

"but trans women started using it to-"

it was ours to begin with.

"-mark innocent people red."

mark transmisogynists red. you don't think they're transmisogynists because you don't take transfems seriously.

can you find someone marked red, look me in the eyes, and honestly tell me they haven't done any of the following:

-said men are oppressed/misandry is an issue

-defended afab-only spaces

-opposed transfeminists

-claimed transfeminist terminology is an attack on other marginalized groups

-spread rumors about a transfem being a predator without evidence

-participated in lolcowing a transfem

-tried to reclaim femboy culture as a non-transfem

-defended male socialization theory

-implied transfems are generally dangerous

-accused a transfem of being an evil pervert while excusing non-transfems engaging in similar kinks

-claimed transmascs have no privilege or power over transfems

-claimed most transfeminists are white/bourgeoisie

-called trans women bitches, cunts, or racial slurs

Sure if you mark someone one way or another on your browser, they stay that way for you.

But for someone you've never seen before to be marked red, that means the majority of users who saw that account and made any input at all, all came to the conclusion that that person was bad news.

Notjust a few, but the majority who carry the extension and had anything to say about that user.

me: sweet hit me with the good stuff

media: so there's this marginalized underclass of people, right?

me: okay

media: and they're like, stigmatized for something that's mostly an aspect of how they are born, or where they're from, or they're badly misunderstood, right?

me: yup, got it, I'm with ya

media: so these people are rebelling against the current social order, because it's the instrument of their suffering

me: oh good great sure

media: but also they're violent and deranged and need to be stopped

me: ...what

media: yeah they're going too far, they're trying to overthrow the system and assassinate the nice cop trying to help them and also they burned down an orphanage

me: ...why? would they burn down an orphanage??

media: extremism is bad

me: still not seeing what this has to do with their fight though???

media: also now they've shot a dog. oops they shot another dog

me: what?! why? I though their motive was to overthrow oppression??

media: yes but their suffering has also made them evil

me: ...???

media: don't worry though, the good guys will defeat them and restore the status quo

me: the status quo that's been killing people?

media: well it turns out it was only killing the kinds of awful people who burn down orphanages and shoot dogs :)

me: oh. this is actually a pro-authoritarian story, isn't it?
