The desire to go "wait who is this person with ~position in feminist community~ now?" is probably pretty petty, but that happens sometimes.
I mean, I think you are entirely fair here. I also think that the pattern you describe here is 100% in keeping with things I see happening repeatedly in so-called activist communities when a certain amount of momentum gets reached, and a certain type of personality gets on top of that momentum. They're the same personality regardless of the movement, and this is their typical MO.
And yeah sorry "hate speech" has an actual legal meaning in my country and I am behind that 100% because fucked if some asshole off the internet just gets to decide what it is, okay. Authoritarian oppression can arise from any part of the political spectrum thanks much I actually know people who grew up under Communist authoritarian regimes, bite me.
I'm not signing on for your tyranny either, dude. ("your" being not kab, being the kind of "activist" under discussion here).
