I don't use them because I don't understand what they all mean. I get that eggplants are penises and peaches are butts or vaginas and the water splash is cum, but outside of that I'm at a loss. I'm afraid I'll send an emoji of like a funny crab after talking about seafood only to find out later that it's been openly claimed by some sort of aquatic sex cult and now my text of "Wanna bury my face in some crab! :funnycrabwithasombreroemoji:" now makes me look like one of those idiots instead of a guy that's genuinely excited about fresh seafood.

So in two minutes of googling, I came across a 2019 article describing how Ramesh Bhutada was invited by the Indian Muslims Association of Greater Houston to give a speech on Hindu-Muslim unity, which was apparently met with a standing ovation. Just to be clear, this is the man you're equating to David Duke?

mila kunis posted:

Ramesh Bhutada is a member of the HSS, the international wing of the RSS. I've posted a link above, but feel free to do some more googling about them. They're a fascist organization whose ideology was literally based on the Nazis; they're hindu supremacists that are actively engaged in mob violence, murder, and terrorizing minorities in India. I'd say he's even worse than David Duke, because of the amount of power these people hold right now. Belonging to this organization is indefensible.

They were involved in the anti-muslim pogroms that occurred in Delhi just this year!

koalas march was a mod who apparently became a mod by having an alt account relentlessly champion her up and down the forums and also try to convince people to give her money

also she started a fund for minorities who desperately needed financial assistance and then when people put money into it immediately used it to buy a new laptop because she is, herself, a minority and "wanting a new laptop" apparently counts as a life-or-death charity case, and the fact that this didn't immediately get her run off the site will never cease to amaze me

Does anyone remember the specifics of something I only vaguely remember? A goon asked for some sort of help because it's expensive to keep up with all the equipment you need to be a freelance graphic designer. Somewhere in the ask was that she was a woman of color.
The replies were mostly dismissive jokes, but I remember one being "I got love for my brother, but we can never go nowhere unless we share our photoshop cs3 with each other"

Bent over keyboards, like old men with their walkers,
tired, bored, we cursed through the memes,
Till on the haunting mods we turned our backs
And towards the next thread began to trudge.
Men clicked "Next Page". Many had lost their place
But limped on, eyes bloodshot. All were lame; all faggots;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed trolls that posted behind.

GASSED! Gassed! Quick, goons! An ecstasy of backspacing,
cancelling posting just in time;
But someone still was replying in all caps
Aimless like a man in fire or lime.
Dim, through the misty style sheet and thick green overlay
As under a green sea, I saw him shitposting.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, cursing, strawmanning, frothing with rage.

If in some smothering dreams you too could read
the Leper Colony that we saw him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick with sin;
If you could hear, in every post, the talking points
Come gargling from his filth-corrupted brain,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
to newbies ardent for some desperate glory,
The Old Lie: Bans are just :tenbux:,
Never stop posting.

The only time I got genuinely hornswoggled by the Forums was the one thread where there was supposedly an impartial AI that would order you weird random things off the internet for a really low cost based on an algorithm, but it turned out it was just a dude ripping people off? I didn't give the thing/man my money but I was definitely a booster and thought it was a great idea. Does anybody remember that?
