As always, I like to see more than an image of a tweet, but Shuster is an actual journalist.

I still think it's too early to call this, I'm not seeing reporting by major orgs on it. It does seem plausible based on the messages on the casings, but I also thought it plausible he was a leftist

Hang in there. There are beatiful things in this world, just nowhere near people like charlie & nick.

The casings story was retracted, because of fucking course. NO ONE engraves fucking casings. That's so fucking stupid to believe...

Major orgs haven't reported because they want itto be a leftist. They NEED it to be a leftist...

Nobody retracted the casing story. That appears to have been true. They just didn't have "trans ideology" engraved on them (which, what would that even mean), but instead meme phrases that included a common furry line.

(If we're being real, conflating "notices bulgie OWO" with the trans community isn't entirely unbelievable if you're unfamiliar with it - it's an incredibly common meme in the queer furry community and that has a massive overlap with trans folks. I know at least one trans person that has it as a tattoo, and several that just have "OwO" or ">:3" tats. My father, a queer rights activist for the past 50 years, thought it was a trans-rights slogan when he first read the reporting on this. Mistaking the manufacturer's stamp "trns" for being pro-trans messaging though... that one is dumb)
