We don't approve of "The Fedilore Otter" due to their obsession with stalking the Black queer users of the fediverse. Currently they're implying that a queer Black user who called out the following posts fetishizing "brown women" and bragging about their nazi ancestry, is bad.
Calling out the absent reference isn't bad. The issue here is that transtina has used women of color as a fetish publicly and then also described their nazi ancestors as "fun lore", which to people of color whom were/are targets of fascism, isn't "fun" and can't tell if you're joking.
The fediblock hashtag was called for by a Black trans person in this case, and as a general reminder, the fediblock hashtag was started by Marcia X, a person of color, to protect against serial sexual harassment. She has a write up here where she describes being stalked and dealing with racism.
When you make a post about Black, Indigenous, or other people of color, you consent to people of those communities deciding if what you've said is appropriate, because you're talking about them, without knowing what it's like to walk in their shoes.
Fedilore Otter targets 3-4 Black queer/trans users consistently and often uses the marginalizations of the (almost always white) individuals that are being called out for racism to make them appear more charitable. For instance, they'll say something like, "a Jewish run instance" or "a transfem run instance" as if that allows those instances to host racist users with no repercussions.
One marginalization does not justify you being racist though.
In this instance, fedilore has implied that being trans and Jewish allows for racism, and by doing so, they've also erased that the Black user they're targeting is also trans, because they want to make it seem as a random cis person is attacking a trans person, but that is not the case.
A Black trans person has called out a white trans person for racism, and nothing more.

Edit: updated after another user provided more info on Marcia X. Thank you!
