Despera posted:When that position also implies giving a totalarian country free reign to commit genocide, no. Well, here's an example of the reason I stopped posting in the Ukraine thread. Despite that, overall, I appreciate the turn that D&D moderation has taken, because though I got chased out of the thread, I didn't get a probation or a ban for anything related to a very emotionally-laden conversation, and I definitely would have around the 2020 election. I'm glad people just made me stop debating and didn't run screaming to the mods.

Transgender participation in sport is something that actually does require somewhat complex and meaningful policy positions in order to maximize equity and fairness, so it should, in theory, be something that we should be able to discuss with sensitivity. But it's very emotionally charged and when a bunch of people kramer into the discussion to spray transphobia everywhere, it makes the reasonable arguments look unreasonable. Nearly all of the D&D debacles tend to come down to a highly sensitive issue where people believe disagreement is a moral outrage. Everyone likes the snap moderation when it's on their side, but all the people who wanted snap moderation on Tara Reade and the transgender sport thread and donations to literal Nazis sure were mad about snap moderation on Xinjiang. I'm obviously in favor of transphobes instantly getting banned, but I'm not convinced that mods are ever going to be able to do that without tacking on a bunch of unreasonable bans too.
