Lowtax posted:Again, you're missing all the times I defended the trans community and said how much empathy I had for them. That doesn't fit your narrative. Sorry I said I liked a trans porn video, sorry I called a trans person ugly in 2003, but you're cherry picking things I said. im not owned im not owned what if we just rolled the clock back 24 hours and went on our collective merry way

i have been scared of posting my opinion on all this for fear of being harassed by the movement that formed against fyad. i want to preface this by saying that i think most of the people angry at fyad are acting in good faith. i think that what started as a legitimate purge of transphobia got hijacked by a few narcissists to further their posting grudges. i realized i was trans a few months back through reading the troon saloon thread. i eventually got invited to an offsite discord that really helped me early on. when the first thread about fyad was started i supported it because there was actual transphobes in fyad. i watched and helped people on the discord go through post histories and fyad looking for anything transphobic. fyad got closed and everyone who could reasonably be said to be transphobic got permabanned but that didnt satisfy some very vocal people. i realized pretty quickly that it had stopped being about fighting transphobia and had become a way to get anyone this group disliked banned. the discord that had been a safe place originally became extremely toxic as the mods of it started witch hunts to find imaginary kiwi farms spies. theyd dig through kiwi farms and post screenshots of obvious troll posts saying "im actually <some poster>" and then act like this was proof. they started forming actual lists of people they wanted banned, sometimes for stuff as minor as mocking an avatar. ive seen online communities get destroyed like this before. i left the discord around the time that fyad was reopened when i realized that if i said anything id be labelled an enemy. since then ive seen posters who i believe are well meaning say "ban the transphobes" or that fyad is harassing various threads. ive personally found the new fyad to be more welcoming and safer for me than tgrs or the cspam reconciliation thread. the "harassment" that i see people claim is either not by fyad posters or its fyad posters simply disagreeing and immediately being probed. in the last few pages people have posted evidence of harassment thats just someone saying "this is frivolous" in one of the qcs threads. ive yet to see any actual evidence of transphobia in new fyad beyond "they made fun of my avatar". i understand why some people would feel differently but i dont think we should prohibit all mockery of other posters, just bigotry. im sorry but i cant help but laugh at the idea that people are in tears because they got banned. if this site forms such an essential part of your social and support network than that is extremely unhealthy and you need help that this site cant and shouldnt provide. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

You mean the group that was mad that you kept showing your entire rear end and missing the point of their complaints? The group that answered your four point post but that you never bothered to go back and read said answers to? They are mad at you for very good, very specific reasons, and painting it as just a bunch of hysterical queers who are mad for no reason is just as bad a look as saying you're an ally because you find a trans attactive and you've watched trans porn.

Lowtax posted:The posts I banned people for were mod sass. I didn't see anything about the trans community, and I apologize if there was something there and I missed it. I just saw a lot of people freely making GBS threads on me, and if I'm going to try to unravel and deal with this mess, I'm going to enforce the rules. Hey, you have a lot of poo poo going on right now and it’s understandable that you haven’t been keeping up with forums issues right now given your RL situation, but you might want to hold off on full ban hammer action until you have had a chance to sit down and look over everything. I understand that this is piling into a giant ball of stress and confusion for you, and having a bunch of people upset isn’t helping, but you really should pause for a moment. From the tone of your replies in this thread it seems like you feel like you need to focus more on justify/defend your actions, which isn’t really a good attitude to go into this with.

you've got a lot going on, and even people like me who have nothing going on aren't up to date on everything going on, it's fine, just repeal those bans when a mod makes a thread specifically requesting people let it all out in regards to something to clear the air so a solution can be found, retaliating based on that is a super bad thing I believe you when you say you're sympathetic to the situation of the trans community generally and trans posters on these forums specifically, but there's more context to this whole thing than mod sass

I'm talking about the ones in that thread that just utterly despise me. I made it clear I was not talking about all trans people, I was referring to one single group here. Yes, the trans thread in TGRS had a very negative reaction to you, but this was because the trans thread is the place where they post about things that matter and are important to them. It was designed to be a safe space where they could shelter a bit and you kind of blundered in there and made them all feel really uncomfortable. I know you didn't intend to, but that was what happened. Chalk it up to a misunderstanding, but it was a misunderstanding that you caused by choosing a very poor venue to talk to them in. sweet geek swag has issued a correction as of 07:51 on Jan 1, 2020 |
