I want to know if it would be worth putting time towards this instead of building something similar.

    Humanizing a mass shooter directly after a shooting and speculating about potential motivations that make them more relatable is an attempt to, at the very least, downplay their actions. We know this when Fox News does it to cishet white dudes. I don’t know why it’s harder to see when it’s a trans white dude.

        That might be the case. I don’t care about their intentions because this is not an internal conversation within the org about the writer(s) of the statement. I understand writing statements like this on a time crunch is difficult and that it may have been an error. Even granting that, the impact is the same. Whether there are people in the group that recognize that isn’t something that’s worth speculating about unless someone here is a member.
