a lot of people using "not my cup of tea" to mean "a creepy sex thing i'll defend" itt

this keeps happening because you don't ban the freaks who get upset when the newest freak thread is discovered

I would like to talk more about this in the chat thread because it sounds really neat

my latest assignment was to track down the killer of my next door neighbour (it was very obviously their roommate). i got everything right but the murder weapon, because i didn't clock that they bought the silenced found on them after the murder

The overall problem here is you SAD folks don�t want fair moderation; you want moderation on your side

this type of perspective on the discussion forum is really unhelpful imo. there's no crew, it's the intended forum for discussion. im sorry that you don't think those threads were that bad, but it doesn't mean everyone disagreeing w you is a bad faith group thinker

Yeah that works good and well until the SAD dipshits start telling us we have special posting pets and then we're all like "yeah. I guess we didnt need to keep that guy who was super vocal about his snake tits fetish around"

"we"? you are not a mod or admin. genuine advice: when people complain about a forum you post in you can literally not read it / not take it personally

as far as bad words, consider reading in good faith? mb the person has some right to use it, and you should reflect on your own language.

I've seen cishet people use the f-slur in more acceptable ways, because I've never seen that dumb as gently caress phrase used without malice. It's gross.

ohhh ok how? how has a cishet person used fag in an acceptable way? you're literally doing the mulaney thing where you can't type fag but you can type aids how is aids worse lmao

Saying stuff louder and angrier doesn't make it any more true. People taking a hyperbolic read on that post is not helping anyone, and I would suggest you stop.

i would suggest pivoting from tone policing and gaslighting over what that post states and how it was taken. there's no explaining letting it fly but proving replies to it that is charitable

CaptainSarcastic posted:

Considering the genesis of the whole thing was people making a frenzied argument that using "gay" and "AIDS" is something that must absolutely be defended changes the equation somewhat. Pivoting to a strident condemnation of that post appears disingenuous considering the starting point. While the post in question is not one I would say is good, I read it more as a response to weird bad faith arguments being made. This whole thing began because some people are very upset that low-effort trolling might potentially be curtailed in GBS. Potentially. In GBS.

So no, I didn't hit that post, because people are getting mad about deeply stupid things to begin with.

if a member of an affected community says something is genuinely offensive, your job isn't to smear them as untrustworthy

For what it's worth, I haven't closed the report on that post so it will get more eyes on it. I just find that in the context of people arguing that calling people/posts/threads "gay" and "AIDS" is NOT homophobic I have a hard time seeing that post as needing to immediately get hit. Another mod might disagree, and that's fine, but I happen to have been the only one around most of the day.

you are right, we need to look at each offending post out of context of who uses it and instead whether they pass your online sincerity test

When you think about it, it makes sense these dead gay forums would have a problem with the use of aids as a pejorative. After all what's more aids than a bunch of dead gays? epic jokes for the mf win

my feedback is the good GBS mods should keep hitting weird stuff like this w probes and the ones who don't keep bein' phobes

i like to decide what I'm gonna say and what words i will use to say it, don't agree with the arguments used against saying them, found many to be more offensive than the words used, and think the overreaction to it has been a display of some of the most performative cap-A Ally old-person "in this house we..." poo poo I've ever seen & think the people being prodded at for it deserve to be because in my eyes that garbage is pathetic, more or less

it is also that making someone who says vile, bigoted things mad by using the no-no words invented to harm me is never not funny. that's not everyone in the argument of course, but a good reminder to consider if idk telling a queer person they can't say gay isn't the move?

How in the holy gently caress are we supposed to know that you specifically Douche Wolf 89 are queer and not just some edgelord

How is anyone else supposed to know that I am black

that sounds like more of a you problem than a me one? i do it by considering that some posts can be in good faith.

for example archranger's is a good example of why I generally don't use these words as a joke in mixed company, or on the forums usually. i don't find posting aids to be especially funny or enlightening, AND i find the switch people did from "special ban someone for trolling" to "it's because of their homophobia" disingenuous especially w the genuine homophobia that went unpunished or parroted

Edit: also lol this was my reply after suggesting using the ignore function. is it my job to post what slurs i can use every time i post, or is it yours to assume good faith / click the ? button for context before replying?

They have shown more remorse for their mistake than all of the gay/aids posters combined. Does this count for anything, or is it the principle of things that is the most important?

they were insincere and you accepted their apology for me by unprobing them. you should probably stop defending your bad call at this point and reverse it?

edit: also this has nothing to do with the goons saying aids, it's about me being the target of a weird ableist dig and you recognising it was weird, probing them, then deciding it was actually super chill and I should "take a breather" if I'm upset with it. you are turning discrete events into forum war bullshit and once again in like 5 pages it led to mask off phobia.
