The "OwO" inscription says a lot more than you think it does.

Here's what AI has to say about it:

"OwO" is an emoticon, or text-based emoji, commonly used to express surprise, cuteness, or curiosity, particularly within the furry fandom and online roleplaying communities. The 'O' characters represent open eyes and the 'w' represents a cat-like mouth. It is an alternative to the "uwu" emoticon, which often denotes happiness or tenderness, with "OwO" typically showing a more surprised or bewildered expression.

While the above is true, it's leaving out a big detail: OwO and UwU are very popular in the online trans community.

I first learned about them years ago, when an iPhone jailbreak app had "UwU" written in the instructions, and I didn't understand it. At first I thought maybe it was some kind of technical term that I didn't know because I was old. So I googled it.

I read something similar to the AI description above, said to myself, "Oh, that's stupid, but a lot of these jailbreak app creators are quirky people", and didn't give it much more thought. At the time, I believed the app to have been created by a woman, because the author had a female name.

Then whenever I saw OwO/UwU online, I took notice of it, and it seemed almost every time it was being typed by a young person with some kind of trans identity. It wasn't inherently trans, but somehow that was the group mostly using it, for reasons I didn't (and still don't) understand.

I said to myself, "Funny that the first instance I saw of it being used was by a female, not someone trans."

Then I though to myself.... "Wait a minute... what if the 'female' app creator wasn't actually female?"

I googled the name, and sure enough, the author was a biological male who was trans. He was eventually run out of the jailbreak app community because it was found that he was a rare trans Nazi, basically posting a lot of white supremacist shit while also being trans. But he was indeed trans.




So that brings me to what was revealed about Tyler Robinson's descriptions. The fact that he used OwO is very curious, and raises the chance that he had trans feelings himself. This would explain why Kirk infuriated him, as Kirk refused to validate the trans identity.

If Tyler's family really was comprised of religious Utah Christians/Mormons, it would explain why he didn't feel it was an option to transition without being completely rejected by all of them, and this may have manifested itself in such extreme internal anger that it led to this horrific act.

That's my theory right now, based upon one emoticon.


he was just copying what was on the trans shooters gun. it was all meme garbage.
