its all pretty concerning stuff. theres still never been any real evidence of what they're all claiming is going on, like every other poster is just screaming about killing gays or something. but there's a ton of people banned over... literally nothing. pretty good moderation if you ask me.

I can't read any more from those qcs threads to find out what "really happened" because I don't have the time, but also because I recently finished a collection of essays about the purges, and my brain was making all kinds of involuntary connections, some of which lead me to reply "normal way of thinking, you might be in a death cult" when I read posts fantasizing about the mass murder of other forum members, for which I will likely be banned

what happened seems fairly straightfoward: FYAD was left alone for so long that it became an incubator for transphobia and homophobia, and enough of our LGBT comrades made a stink about it to force the hand of the moderators to step in and start banning people and locking the forum entirely

that the D&D libs are going to try and attack CSPAM is whatever, since they were already doing that anyway even before this FYAD thing kicked off, and I don't think there's any reason to look this particular gift horse in the mouth since it ultimately cleans out a lot of the reactionaries and bigots from SA

yeah as a poster in the trans threads if anyone pointing fingers here is part of the trans posters pointing out lovely behavior from fyad and its weird hangers-on that even fyad hates i haven't seen it coming from them. fishmech probably would be but she's long been banned lol. there is no danger of an idpol tide washing over this sub from what i can tell

I haven’t really seen very many D&D people interested in attacking CSPAM right now. Even the D&D discord is like “yeah gently caress fyad they suck” and that’s it.

also that bloodbath in QCS lol

considering how often identarianism has been used for bullshit like this, maybe that's what happened and there were no ulterior motives involved such as 'gently caress fyad', and maybe the fact that ive been away from the forums for a week means i have no loving clue about what just happened, but let me just say this: im smell cumming

the thing is that someone asked skylark, a trans poster, what agp was, and she explained it, and then the first guy made fun of the concept. this was interpreted of being supported of the agp concept and therefore transphobic.

it’s not clear to me why you want to die on this hill when the FYAD “lgbt” thread will full of people calling others slurs, saying they should all die, etc. Including an IK.

i didnt read that thread so no clue if it was as bad as everyone is saying it is, but as a point of clarification: the IKs are chosen via a complicated system where you guess the right number and if you are correct or closer than everyone else then you become IK so its not a process where they are chosen by the posters. if an IK does something wrong then its really the fault of the numbers

it was jd not the ik

ive been pretty inactive the last few months and am keeping out of all this dumb drama i mostly dont understand. fyad sucked though, iirc one of the lead ups to lf getting shut down was it pointing out how transphobic fyad was
