It's suspicious that someone who is trans gets murdered in the U.K. (which is known to be hostile against trans folks, that ain't a secret) and the government tries to put the blame entirely on someone watching "gore" on some fringe site (and it's supposed to have nothing to do with hostility for someone being trans).

They point to the fact that this person also wanted to kill someone they accused of being a "nonce" as evidence that they're indiscriminate. To me though, that sounds a lot like elements of QAnon. Regular people don't typically go around accusing random ass people of that.

Transphobia and QAnon type nonsense often go hand in hand, so this actually makes an *even more* compelling case to me that it was transphobia.

Meanwhile, the government would rather blame "gore" on a "fringe site", presumably, so they have an excuse to seize more Internet censorship powers (if what I put here is speculative, then that, only more so).
