There's a pretty long list of terrible things she has said. Two of the most egregious being the "bring up the recent, tragic death of someone's girlfriend to win an argument" and "hijack someone's thread about pregnancy complications by reminding everybody that she can't get pregnant and that makes her more important"

I saw those things. People overreacted. That being said, they fall under the category of insensitive, which I already mentioned. People also twisted them. "To win an argument" was according to people who were showing outrage. To me, it just seemed like she made a misguided comparison to a user losing a loved one to a trans person being murdered for being trans. It wasn't even that badly worded. It was just... too soon, and ill-conceived. The user in question also misgendered her because of it and attacked and blocked people defending her point of view. And nothing about the pregnancy thing was about "her being more important." She just spoke from her perspective and it spiraled from the responses. Again, insensitive, poorly timed. It didn't feel like an intentional derailment of the conversation but it ended up turning out that way.

She would have been better off taking more time to think about how to approach both of those topics before responding and could have made her points without pissing people off, for sure... but I was actively in both conversations as they happened and the backlash against her was 100% South Park crowds going "RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE" (with the exception of the specific users she was speaking to. The person who lost their gf and the one whose gf was having the pregnancy issue had every right to be upset, but in my opinion, they overreacted and made unwarranted accusations as a result, plus the misgendering was fucked up, and that user got warned alongside gunpla during that exchange)
