one of your complaints was that you couldn't make transphobic slurs these days without getting banned.

uh no you reading comprehension lacking moron, I said that the yoke is so tight that you can get banned for "saying tranny wrong or whatever" what's the permitted way? it's a PC shibboleth that changes every few months

if you wanna be a fag and get all discriminatory about people's genital situation other fine upstanding posters should be able to call you out for being an rear end in a top hat. instead odds are you get insta banned, because of some big brother bullshit, where it doesn't matter if you did anything wrong it just matters that you stepped out of line

the point isn't that you actually get banned. the point is that posting on Something Awful used to be a free speech exercise and now you have to plan your posts to avoid loving american social control landmines because the moderation staff has been gradually infiltrated and we're on some boiling frog poo poo

The moderation used to be 100x more strict and you would get banned for not punctuating properly. There were days where literally hundreds of accounts were banned.

Also it's good when people who use slurs are probated or banned.

dog you keep getting popped because you are using terms that are lovely and when someone tries to nudge you in the right direction you say gently caress you i can say whatever i want. like, do you know the history of the word you are trying to use and why it isn't a word that someone who is transgendered would appreciate?

i'm saying it's highly probable that something like three out of every ten mods are spooks who got in by sucking admin cock (same way the other mods got in)

and before those sockpuppet accounts get modded, they're circlejerk posters who make one another look good and enforce the culture
