"So, you mean they're homophobic?"
"Well, no, but-"
"So they're misogynistic? Racist? Transphobic? Ableist???"
"N-no, actually they enforce strict banning on all those things, BUT-"
"So they bully people into suicide?"
"Nooo, they require content warnings for even mentions of suicide, BUT!"
"...Yes?"

"NO!"
This is the chapo way. Even if everyone defederates from us, we're still the and we'll get tons of growth just from libs talking about us in hushed whispers
They always try to demonize us but it doesn't work. Its not like 4chan where you go there and you're immediately horrified.
You come here and people are like "look at this cool mushroom" or one user that has been posting swords for 3 years straight and you're like "ok these claims are greatly exaggerated".
