@briankrebs Maybe they shouldn't boost incredible narcissists into the spotlight, for whichever reason they're doing it.

@briankrebs Trans (or whatever) people in the English speaking world generally don't have much in the way of job prospects, don't have much cash (they tend to get disowned or at least isolated from their family on top of not having good job prospects), and often look at the world from a very different perspective than the majority of the population. Many of them already have to go outside what's legal to get medical care so they've already got one hand in the extra-legal world. It's basically the means and motive to do exploitation work combined with a lack of alternatives. Want to see a reduction in cybercrime? Start addressing transphobia in the West.

I'm old and bitter, i've already gone through all those fights but i never felt it made sense to go black hat. If i were young and queer today, though? If i knew then what i know now about the direction my life was going to go? Logically, amorally, it would make a lot of sense.
