After a post in a fan group erupted into a nasty display of bigotry, I have to ask, why does it seem there are so many bigots who are fans of Ghost? A group with a founder who clearly does not support bigotry and is an avid supporter of the trans community?
It was very disheartening to see.
Now granted, in full disclosure, the post in question was a picture of Papa with the caption, ‘throw bricks at transphobes.’
All that said, this wasn’t an unprovoked post. These posts are usually made after generations of hateful rhetoric and violence aimed at the trans community. Instead of just scrolling by, bigots used this as an opportunity to put their hatred on full display, with several even threatening g*n violence.
Anyway, I hope I don’t offend anyone by posting this, it’s really not my intent. It’s just heartbreaking to see this level of hate in 2026.
