@shinigami-eyes.github.io Hey, can we get some way of checking WHY someone is marked anti-trans or trans-friendly so we can dispute or correct fake reports and combat the rampant deliberate sabotage?

Related note, is there a particular reason Gavin Newsom is marked anti-trans?

Always deadname evil corporations.

Never deadname humans, regardless of alignment.

Deadnaming someone just because they're ethically reprehensible suggests that one's right to self-identify is contingent upon public opinion or moral character, and that's a slippery slope that'll get us ALL killed.

Maybe I should make another list for the WORST of humanity.

Modern Saints vs... Skeleton Closet?

Fun fact: I made my logo myself in Procreate!

Nothing I'm doing involves AI, bots, plagiarism, or anything of the sort! Just a real human with nothing better to do because the people LEAST qualified for this list made it impossible for me to find work~

I've got 30 names and I'm starting to realize that I need to find a better way to do this. They won't all fit in one post, and deciding whose contributions weren't good enough to earn them a spot in a "Top 10 Best Humans" list feels...wrong.

New plan.
