The site was set up to target Chris Chan in particular, but later shifted to "lolcows" in general - ie people that continue to give the bullies the bizarre reactions that they're looking for. They don't exclusively target trans people, nor do they even go to trans spaces looking for people to insult. After all, the average trans person would just block them and move on with their life and that makes for a boring thread.
>why do you feel the need to comment that you get off to 'watching people do fucked up shit for internet clout'
Because I'm on HN, and it's more important here to show that you know what you're talking about rather than show that you're a good, law-abiding citizen. If you seriously can't understand why people enjoy looking at trainwrecks, you need to speak to more people.
>They target trans women like Lizzy Waite and Clara Sorrenti.
I don't know the Lizzy Waite saga, but Clara Sorrenti specifically had that whole Catboy Ranch thing going on, plus the constant drama with other streamers and just a general behavioural pattern of always feeding the trolls.
>What is so weird about kids who need support from the Trevor Project hotline?
Yep, that shouldn't have happened. (But then again, neither should anything else on this site...)

for what it's worth I have friends that have been harassed via this site and this is not the case. they don't stop if you block them. they keep finding ways around it and they make your life hell.
One of the more chilling is that after chasing someone out of their own home and into hiding, they tracked them down and someone posted a photo standing outside of their hotel.
Not so much reddit a AMA verification, more like a hostage situation.

Yes?
