I'll give mine to get the ball rolling.

There was a user that, before getting banned, declared that every single living human being alive on Earth right now should not exist because no one had the benefit of a pre-conception device on hand to somehow determine each individual's consent to exist before they started to exist.

I don't know if that take would make David Benatar blush, make David Benatar cackle with glee, or if that was posted by David Benatar himself.

Oh I do remember DroneRights. I don't want to assume DroneRights was deliberately trolling but the takes got more and more, well... "agree with DroneRights about the fundamental nature of mind and consciousness or you are posting hatespeech against DroneRights."

I lurked the Soulist Discord out of curiosity and my conclusion was that DroneRights is sincere and deeply cringe

Yeah DroneRights was promoting it on blahaj a while back. I'd link it but you have to apply to get in, and these are tulpa/otherkin type people who I think are mostly impressionable teenagers.

I'll just take your word for it, then.

You truly aren't missing anything

Yeah, that’s what I remember. “Disagreeing with my crank ideas is ableism” or something like that. I want to believe it was trolling, but trolling requires that at some point you acknowledge you’re trolling so that people know that they got trolled. If you never let on that you’re trolling then you’re just doing the thing.
