The other day, I saw a post which had this screenshot in it

People pointed out that “June” not only called a trans person a slur (ok*ma), they also said “go and do what the person in Nashville did”. Then, “June” argued “where did I say anything about a shooter” and “you can’t speak for my intentions”. They also made the same argument to defend Elon Musk when he made a Nazi salute. “You cannot speak for other people’s intentions” they said.

What’s the best way to respond to people who use “you can’t speak for my intentions” to gaslight people, especially when they’re using it to try and get away with saying something terrible, such as transphobia and Nazi defending?

edit:

I found this YouTube channel exposing this “June” person, and “June” argues that it’s “all slander” or “it’s taken out of context”, “you cannot speak for my intentions”. But when you look into the video descriptions, the channel uploader includes lots of links too, not just screenshots, and some of those links go directly to comments the person the channel appears to be exposing making some questionable comments about and to someone they knew was only 14 years old.

When people don’t believe “June” that it’s “all slander”, “June” argues “you cannot speak for another person’s intentions” and “you’re misinterpreting everything”.

Apparently they’re also a mod on AskLemmy?
