User Banned (1 Month): Dismissing Concerns of Genocide over a Series of Posts; Thread Derail; History of Dismissive Commentary

What progress? At the rate Biden and Harris are going, there won't be a Palestine left to progress on.

I am so sick of these 'Trump is worse' post coming down. All it does is just deflect away from Harris and her culpability.

For Fuck's sake. This ellection is more than just Gaza. The whole world is sitting there in disbelieve, how you turds are on the brink to elect a megalomaniac Fascist who isn't able to accept a loss for the second time!

You guys are so extremely blind for anything that isn't fancy right now. The Genocide in Gaza / Palestine is horrible. We got that, but, maybe you and your echo chamber here should realize that there is more at stake. You are so blinded by your hatred about the current administration that you are not seeing the forest for the trees.

People like you are sadly enough the explanation how a country like the US got to this point. The US always supported bad regimes in their history for whatever reason. Israel cemented its ally place after WW2. Yeah, Netanyahu, is a fascist asshole and the worst possible pick for Israel and everyone who is living there, but It's nothing new that the US is supporting Israel.

The US also supports SA even after they were technically behind 9/11. Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam and the hundreds of military shenanigans the US were and are doing are the reality of your country. Israel is now sadly a prominent member on this list.

But now, at this point in history, The USA is on two different paths. Maintaining a kind of flawed democracy or developing in Gilliad. One version is allowing you to protest and may change something, and the other is threatening in using the military against every kind of "leftist" protest that the MAGA leadership isn't liking. HOW the fuck are you still sitting there and remain in your little entitled seat and be "sick of Trump is worse". He is worse in every regard. He is openly racist, fascist, anti-Democratic, dangerous to everyone. Furthermore, he is removing not only your freedoms but also erodes them for hundreds if not billions of people who are not living in the US. We can not vote against him. He legitimized his way in many other countries. His tactics are no used worldwide to other far right fascist parties. His seed was already planted. USA, thank you very very much for this fascism seat. So please please, Put your own house in order.

Don't take it personally, but people are just frustrated with "but Trump" posts in every thread relating to Gaza no matter if the thread in question has anything to say about Biden/Harris admin or not. Like, this thread isn't about Harris losing Arab American and Muslim American support, it's about how devastating the Israel actions in Gaza are, yet almost half of the discussion here is about Trump being worse.

Understandable, but also a big issue. The Whole Situation has many root causes. The support of the current administration is a symptom of those root causes. Especially when the vote is one week before us, it's a dumb statement to say that someone is "sick of trump is worse".

If I read your Accountname correctly: Du weißt, warum ich so auf diese Verharmlosung eingehe.

You know? I would love for somebody to explain to me why there so many people that believe in an almost religious pious sort of way that their soul purity is more important than doing actions that lessen the harm so to speak? it's just fucking weird & selfish as hell...

This stuff seems more prominent right now due to Trump and recent idiocy in the YouTube Fitness community and Jeff Nippard being attacked.

I honestly don't get the obsession. It's been debunked by anthropologists many times but it persists.

User Banned (1 Week): Hostility towards other members

So many of you are so mentally shallow

I take time to express view and thoughts and so many of you view the world in some simplistic good bad, right wrong, win lose team binary

Yall swear to god most of yall aren't programmed though, that's the funny part

If Kamala does not change her stance, what will you all say then?. I'm very curious. What I expect is most people doing this weak moral guilt attempt to promptly ignore the ramifications later. Just completely shut the fuck up and go back to pretending everything is great.

Just excuses excuses excuses, the liberal way

Put it like this:

If Kamala loses, she lost because this god forsaken country WANTED Trump. She damn near ran an airtight campaign, the only critical mistake is her stance on Gaza and her instances at the DNC with Muslim voters. Unlike Hilary, there's nothing on her.

If she win, then we figure out if she play the Biden Plan or she deescalates

But if she runs the Biden Plan, you own that shit, no matter how much you ignore it which you sound like you 100% will

I can't imagine you'd be making the same type of posts if Biden/Kamala were great on Palestine and genocidal towards trans people.

Uhm, chuddie? it's not about Trump or Kamala, it's about capitalism and zionism.

Well, it’s the same argument they use for defending Marvel tripe that has writers or headliners whom are minorities. Demanding quality entertainment product is apparently white supremacy.

Wasn't "good writing" on one of those charts of signs of white supremacy like being on time and being able to do math?

User Banned (1 Month): Dismissing Concerns of Sexism and Abuse

They're probably talking about how Tarantino, a man well known for having a foot fetish, wrote a script in which a stripper puts her foot in someone's mouth and then pours alcohol down her leg...and he rather conveniently ended up being the guy cast to play that someone.

So? Women (and men) are always dressed and told to act in ways that are sexually pleasing to the director. Why is it different because it's her foot?

Would anyone care if Q just cast himself as a typical strip club patron?

 

that's a really fuckin good point

Plz buy me gundams food for my hard labor of pressing the quote button hurtssomuch

A user that has been an invaluable member spotlighting the plight and pain that Arab and Muslim communities are going through gets a month ban for venting about the very systems and structures that cause that pain. Whereas the GM gets to attack his subordinate then say sorry and we’re all supposed to just move on like that’s a healthy way to run a site.

There's already been a muslim (Shoot is one) exodus and now there are probably less than a dozen open Muslims (including me) on this entire forum.

Not only that, but they got banned for agreeing with a fucking mod. The same one our GM chewed out, no less. Fucking wild.

Yeah, and someone got banned for modwhining for connecting the dots. Even if it wasn't B-Dubs, then someone must now how fucking terrible the optics are.

Someone even caught a 3 day for pointing that out in that thread right after, it seems the official position is that mentioning it is now "modwhining".

Like I get wanting to keep things on topic in political threads that get heated, but c'mon now. That's the closest thing we've had to a "response" to the concerns around that event (especially as the apology did not address any of the discussion around it).

Yep, saw that, and I also noticed someone asking for context. Which just goes to show you that this thread isn't really functioning as a community discussion at all. People don't know what's going on, and having this thread tucked away and not surfaced properly means the issues are unseen by the community at large.

Nah, I'll call it out for what it actually is because this is not the first time it happens.

Time and time again moderation goes in with a heavy-handed approach and overly severe bans to get everyone in the thread to talk about the ban or mod action instead of the topic of the thread. And then they close the thread down.

This is more generalized feedback that also applies to that specific case: Being overeager with the ban button causes more drama and unrest than it prevents. Let the people be people. (I may be biased as someone who gets banned a lot lol)

Well, I never get banned, and I agree.

I don’t think there is anything as destructive to this community as a quick, harsh ban for something that is obviously going to be controversial, especially when it feeds into festering problems people already have. I don’t wanna jump in on relitigating the ban at issue here, but I do want to say it is *really really hard* to witness the optics here and not lose a ton of faith in the entire leadership structure of this place.

To be quite frank, Shoot's ban is completely nonsensical and I don't understand how that post is fundamentally all that different from the admin's post. You can say the admin was more articulate and thorough in their commentary, but it just seems like that ban is more spiteful and emotionally-charged rather than rational and logical, which should be the goal for most moderation on an Internet forum. I understand bans are supposed to be conducted in a group manner, but when an admin is apparently aligned with the user, then how unanimous is that decision, really?

This is unquestionably true and it’s exactly what I said about B dubs comments towards Nepenthe. He was given leeway (well gave himself) because of all the reasons he gave that made him so emotional. Basically he was treated as a human being instead of an irrelevant bot you can just discard like they’re worthless. Bans are too often handed out without thinking about the community or that there is an actual individual on the other side of the computer.

I also think it’s a bad look for the boss of this site to use his emotions around sensitive issues as an excuse for his outburst whilst seeing Muslim and Arab posters being banned in threads about a genocide of Palestinians with little thought to how they must be feeling right now.
