It's not embarrassing to do that.

It's also not at all what you're doing in this thread, and what you are doing is deeply embarrassing and offensive

I don't think it ever reached this scale but I think that yes, that has in fact been suggested if not necessarily acted upon. Somewhere in the far reaches of my memory I feel like there has been at least one major purge of ATRDW for things skirting the line of hentai. I am fuzzy on details and maybe someone with a longer memory than me can elaborate.

There have been multiple adtrw purges over the years

The only specific thing I can seem to remember involved some kind of Anime Which Shall Not Be Named that featured a teacher's questionable relationship with his very young student, and the fans of the show getting run off or banned from discussing hit, hence the refusal of posters to name it (also I'm not actually sure what it's called)

Stop being such goons, you CLODS!

CascadeBeta has directed all anger at transphobes and bad faith posters exclusively and a lot of effort has been made to paint every post as "hysterical" to make it seem like the transphobes were the calm rational correct ones.

yeah there are probably still a couple people making fun of posters who post embarrassing poo poo x and y because they hold those posters' identity/race/etc in contempt, and I acknowledge that mocking bad posts can provide camouflage for such behavior that shouldn't be tolerated. Hopefully the forthcoming transfer mod will be able to suss out the bad actors

I don't believe that to be the case for most posters however, or that it's surreal to think that there are bad posts worth making fun of on their own merits

ps. the new posters that came after reopening should be looked at especially skeptically in thsi regard

she has a lot to be angry about, and regardless of whether you want to make fun of her posting you should not make fun of her or anyone else for being a member of a minority and fyadites are continuing to do that under a thin veneer of deniability and you are posting in bad faith so im going to disengage from you now. toodles

Fwiw, as a non fyad poster, it really reads like making fun of CascadeBeta's posts, at least now (but lots of transphobic posts got people banned in the last couple weeks for sure). I'm not saying that in a tone policing way or anything, just like, if she'd made those posts as a Star Citizen subforum poster complaining about fyad mocking Star Citizen-obsessed people in that forum (like replace trans with star citizen in her posts), she'd be getting no sympathy as a victim of fyad bullying.

That series was really, really, really bad. It cannot be overstated just how terrible it is and you're better off not knowing the name.

if you do not see the difference between mocking someone for something they have control over like being a Star Citizen fan and mocking someone for something they have no control over like being transgender then we have very little to say to each other, im afraid

if you're going to accuse others here of maligning you it would do well to back it up with facts rather than framing it as incredulous rhetoric.

"Bad faith" does seem to be the word of the day around here nowadays, as calling something "bad faith" appears to absolve anyone of having to respond to a point because it's simply assumed to be self-evident that the argument has no merit because the person saying it is a bad actor, or else they wouldn't have said that thing to begin with.

It is when you use false civility as a thin veil over harassment, but that's not at all what Solice Kirsk was doing and Elephant Ambush is just having a meltdown

it's advice trans people and, i would imagine, any other marginalized community hears and it accomplishes nothing because it places responsibility for avoiding bigotry on us, to ignore it, rather than on others, to not be bigots, and that is hosed and you are wrong and your advice is actively harmful. hth

if thats what you read into it, im sorry for being bad at communicating vague life advice.

more or less im advocating this position:

Emma Goldman posted:

I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from convention and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to become a nun and that the movement would not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it. "I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everybody's right to beautiful, radiant things." Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world — prisons, persecution, everything. Yes, even in spite of the condemnation of my own closest comrades I would live my beautiful ideal.

less about "ignoring problems" and more about personal spiritual takes on the meaning of existence and life. like all anarchistic thoughts its the sort of smug tripe that leads to anarchists being the second group of people to be shot in revolutions regardless of who wins them so yet again if you dont like it thats okay.

Yo, Heath knows what the gently caress it is, they're doing it right now. If someone complains about a "lack of civility" or some such bullshit, chances are they're right ignorant -- which means they back down after a post or two -- or they're assholes playing "I'm not touching you!" with discourse.

Report, ignore, and move on. There's no talking with people like that.
