Have you even read the website you're linking?

I went through it, and there's nothing of note there. It basically boils down to somebody calling a bunch of people weirdos, with some arbitrary claims, and links to irrelevant, even contradictory information.

On August 3rd, 2026, Louis posted a video about openly transgender Colorado state representative Brianna Titone, and in the YouTube comments posted a remark explaining his position on transgender issues, which can be paraphrased as “I think transgender women are men but I’m willing to overlook it if we have common cause”.

The 'source' provided here only links to the video. Good luck reading all the 423 comments, and figuring out which one is him saying anything close to that paraphrased statement.

They're also calling Louis a weirdo for being an associate of Eron Wolf. And if you go to Eron Wolf's entry, he's a weirdo, because... he's an associate of Louis Rossmann. Yeah, that's makes perfect sense.

Eron is the modestly wealthy founder of FUTO, an organization that funds software projects. He doesn’t like the Open Source Definition (...)

This is one of the few technically accurate claims on the page, but it's manipulative. The relevant part of FULU's statement is:

Our use of the term “open source” thus far has been not out of carelessness, but out of disdain for OSI approved licenses which nevertheless allow developers to be exploited by large corporate interests. The OSI, an organization with confidential charter members and large corporate sponsors, does not have any legal right to say what is and is not “open source”. It is arrogant of them to lay claim to the definition.

I think it's perfectly reasonable.

I'm guessing the website author is hoping you won't actually click any of the links, because none of them support their claims or the points they're trying to make.

I'd say this just looks like a billionaire-funded smear campaign.

He's got his own opinion and points out that it's his opinion and irrelevant to the work of said politician and that it's not his place to force his opinion on anyone

Honestly doesn't seem like a huge deal to me. Who cares what he thinks as long as he respect other people's right to their own opinion and doesn't try to police anyone's gender

It's still transphobic. Less reactionary, sure, but transphobic.

People are allowed to have their opinions. Long as they're not hurting anyone or actively sowing discord, it's not a huge deal.

Oh, yeah I did my initial response and later I tried going through the source and I could not find it at all.

Thank you for putting it onto such consise words.

Yeah that link of "information" is pretty thin for most people. There's some real things in there, but most of it reads as fanfic

[-] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Well, it mostly relates to the person's blog. I linked it before. Futo really likes right-wing projects and sponsors some of them. It's also sponsored by right wing orgs.

I mean... If you actively use kiwifarms aren't you automatically a bad person?

I thought that was just a harassment group, not a webapp. Wow.
