love getting bullied and called names by mods for trying to discuss stuff. very cool. very lib. Was a cool place to get drunk and shitpost with fellow leftists- fuck me for trying to have a discussion right? Glad we finally have this place!
I hate vague posts like this. Give some details so we can partake in your anger and frustration by proxy.
Yeah, fuck you OP.
Searched the discord found this:
MalikMistyRory: "whats yall opinion on cancel culture- like the snl writer getting canceled by twitter because he made a joke about racist people calling people in china town ch** in a podcast ?" - Atomic
This seems to be context: https://www.npr.org/2019/09/16/761367838/comedian-shane-gillis-fired-from-saturday-night-live-for-racist-remarksMy opinion on cancel culture is that most of the time it is good. And it makes sense to hold people with greater influence to higher standards.
Although sometimes there are misunderstandings and people jump the gun. And some people have less leisure time or access and must be given leeway for that.
With a first offense it is usually better to educate people before rallying a mob, because once there is a mob all rationality goes out the window; it is generally better to create an ally than a martyr.
And for most people there needs to be a path to redemption, or you're just creating permanent opposition.For the record I don't do hate mobs, or twitter for the most part. Also boycott JK Rowling, don't even read or watch or pirate any of the new stuff, the conversations about her new properties need to be dead air.
edit: so many uphexes for lenient approach to cancel culture, zero for boycotting JK Rowling, welcome to :LIB:.chat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mUBtfbjKXc this is also a video i linked before i sent that message, we were all talking about snl and i had just seen that video and it surprised me so i sent it to chat and asked what they thought. what followed i have already detailed.
So "i remember him being surprisingly very leftist" is this fucking guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-4eQkufh5A
thats not even the video i linked? wtf? you can go into discord and see this. You guys are realllly trying to paint me as someone that im not in order to win an argument.
oh nice what did you think about the interview- maybe the shane guy was trying to get some good pr or somethin idk
i was talking about shane, not sneako. Shane was talking about being a lib/leftist in this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mUBtfbjKXc
I generally dislike discord for that exact reason. I much prefer the pace and format of forums like this. I'm also older than probably most of the chapo community so that might have something to do with it.
The problem here is that everything stays online forever 😑, might be a cool feature to have a "wipe Account" button.
Or at least let us delete our comments the instant we post them because of sudden self doubt
Yep seems like Felix was on board with this plan as well (forget which episode maybe the one after Chapo sub was banned): bring back the forums.

That is a big misrepresentation of events lol- i was trying to have a conversation about snl cuz that was what were were talking about, a youtuber i follow made a video where he interviewed Shane gills and i remember him being surprisingly very leftist- i thought it was an interesting situation (cuz he got canceled for being a super dirtbag leftist basically) and wanted to discuss and hear other leftists thoughts (not get shouted down by someone in power) it cuz snl was the topic. especially because we are on the subject and sure i made a mistake but i apologized and it wasn't in a derogatory sense at all- i was drunk and made an oopsie. you were the one who hyper focused on it tried to bring it to the entire chats attention that i made that mistake like 3 times you wouldn't even let me make a point or talk about it you just assumed, how do you know what other people are going to say before you say it? you- called me names and shouted down at me. (wonder why i was defensive when getting shouted down at by a fellow leftist in a position of power) The little power you have has clearly gone to your head as you can't discuss things without assuming the worst in people, calling them names, and misrepresenting their character. I would be more than happy to discord call you. but i doubt you want to actually resolve anything rather than "win". Being chased out of the only leftist space ive found (especially a discord that actually supports trans rights) by insults and bad faith mischaracterizations last night from a mod has really made my day terrible. Thanks.
How exactly am I gaslighting you? im not trying to do that idk what relevance or what you mean by everyone "being on the same page" seemed like most people there just wanted us both to stop arguing.
https://snipboard.io/GNI4ye.jpg definitely doesn't look like "everyone was on the same page"
I use the discord occasionally, but I'm usually in just 3 channels (Protest, News/Electoralism, COVID). Haven't seen anything too bad in there when I've been there. But I prefer this site to the Discord.
Yeah it was fine- i said one thing stupid and started gettin names by a mod so i just got overwhelmed n left
You seemed to be feeling down because you felt excluded, Is a valid grief.
But It's not worth the consecuences of infighting, IMO.
I was banned for the dumbest reason ever that I can't even bother to explain. Discord is dumb and full of mods that get off having authority for the first time ever
