So turns out Lowtax considers himself an ally because 1) he can find a trans attractive 2) he has looked at a trans in porn and 3) those people are just too sensitive (not all of them of course just *those* ones).


Lowtax really needs to shut the gently caress up.

Listen friendo, the man who runs this forum had a white cis manbaby meltdown because the transes weren't nice to him.


five bans went out because people mocked and pointed out he was being a disengenuous gently caress about this. They went out faster than anything related to the actual transphobic comments have been dealt with in the past month.

"It's the new year no problems are getting solved" is a hell of a hot take when the owner of these forums is banning trans and queer posters for pointing out that Lowtax has no loving clothes on new years eve.

QCS is closed and any thread that mentions this shitstorm gets brigaded to gently caress or has conversation shut down by mod/admin fiat. Maybe instead of concentrating on making sure no one makes any waves something can be done to deal with the actual rot in the middle of this bullshit?

pastry, im calm. im not upset. but the situation is more severe than "no problems getting solved". lowtax is currently, actively banning people who disagree with him. this is negative progress. it needs to be discussed.

I love you guys, I do, which is why I want you to find some happiness in this arbitrary evening because I don't think you're going to get it from the ongoing tumble of this website and its governance. All I can tell you is that you've got a place in PYF as much as ever and neither BIRD nor I will let this become a hostile place for anyone (except dumbasses)

Also, sorry, Tashi, I had been reading your name wrong in my head for years, apparently, but tonight is not the night to tease out my relationship with phonics and forum posters.

I think there was some study a while ago that decided that after leaving Africa there was a lot of Neanderthal loving going on because it created one of the weirder groups of white-supremacists who decided that because that was the case (and because they were white-supremacists) then contrary to all depictions of popular culture Neanderthals were near-superhuman and highly cultured if not outright the remnants of Atlantis, a city that definitely wasn't invented wholesale a hundred thousand years later as a rhetorical device.

Yeah that's hilarious. Neanderthals were stronger, tougher, and faster than homo sapiens but they were also more adapted to the ice age than the warming up Earth. They also matured more quickly so they had shorter childhoods. That is bad for learning. Their skulls could hold more brain but brain architecture matters a lot as does time to learn. It's possible they had more low brain stuff than high brain stuff which would make them incredible hunters and good at physical tasks but not so good at inventing things. Granted the white supremacist obsession with purity makes it extra absurd as Europeans are, if you look at the markers for neanderthal DNA, and the least homo sapiens. People studying human genetics have found way more neanderthal DNA than expected (I had mine done and I'm apparently like 9% neanderthal...who'd have thought?). Then again if neanderthals and homo sapiens can gently caress and create offspring that can create offspring are they really different species? Makes one wonder just what the hell "human" even means.

Even so if neanderthals were legit superior in a lot of ways (they were at least physically) we're around and they...well they're not around by themselves but we hosed them into our gene pool. They never really went away totally but homo sapiens is around and homo neanderthalensis isn't. What we did worked. What they did did not.

oldpainless posted:

If people all came from the same place why do people look different now?

Quite a few reasons. Turns out genetics isn't the only thing going on. Skin color in particular is more than just genetic. How dark you are changes over generations depending on how much sun your mom got. If you are too dark for where you live you can develop vitamin D deficiency as sunlight makes your skin make it. Conversely if you are too light for where you live then you get skin cancer and die. While those things won't kill you quickly your mom's body was paying attention and affected how much melanin you started making. Epigentics is also a thing and genes can be turned on or off in your offspring depending on what conditions you're living in. There's also evolutionary pressure as well as mutation. Even so it turns out that humans are absurdly adaptable and just change to fit our environments.

That's alright, but, again, I want you to understand something here.

This situation keeps developing and getting worse.

Lowtax is currently livestreaming himself banning posters who were talking about his livestream. Maybe someone should put their loving adult pants on and tell the child making GBS threads himself on youtube to go to bed.

Gee, I wonder why trans people feel that the forums are hostile to them.

could it possibly be because the forum administration and culture is hostile to them and any attempts to address or remedy this is met with... even more hostility and abuse?

I mod PYF and that's it. I do not know what else you expect from me.

As to your other concerns: I have never exchanged a word with Lowtax. I was asked to help look after this tiny slice of the forums by BIRD, and I like doing it because this place has given me a lot of pleasure and community over the years.

That's to say: I don't have so much as an atom of influence with Lowtax one way or another. All I can do is try and keep PYF the fun, chill place it was when I fell in love with it.
