I'm late to the thread (as always) but I wanted to thank you for standing up to that shit. You and others like @quiet, @VILenin, @TrashCompact and others, including the now inexplicably banned Serbian_Milf. The victim-blaming attitude and open display of unrecognized privilege, especially from so called leftists makes my blood boil, and maybe the grossest part was how well couched it was in what seemed like a reasonable stance. Well... It didn't come across as reasonable once the wrecker... chimed in.
It also sucks because it seems like a lot of names I have seen on here over the last 2 years and developed a lot of respect for are suddenly saying shit that strikes me as unsettlingly reactionary. Did I just not have the understanding or wherewithal to see it before? (it's probably that). Or are some of our most vaunted regulars being taken out and replaced by feds? (probably not that.)
Also yeah, wtf, why was A_Serbian_Milf banned? I mean I see the reason given in the modlog but.... bs. I hope they appeal and get restored. Oh just scrolled and saw you made an appeal. I'll add a comment.
Anyway yeah, thank you. Apologies for the mildly drunk weird tangents comment. It's why I usually just lurk.
The best case scenario was labor aristocracy apologia and divisive contrarianism in general (under pretense of "organize or die" :what-the-hell: ) being so exciting to a magically conjured new "NOT AN ALT" (they said so in like their second rage post) account from the aether that they goosestepped up and down Hexbear, cryptoheiling all the while with Jordan Petersonian takes about how the strong must crush the weak, punctuated by :reddit-logo: tier "U R MENTALLY ILL" putdowns.
Thank you, all the same, for adding to the appeal.
Terrifying part is how many people apparently actually agree. More terrifying is how it's tolerated. Blaming the downtrodden for being too sad. Lecturing depressed and neurodivergent people about sadness. Guess there's a sizable portion of the userbase that are just sparkling liberals.
Some takes are so absolutely horrible that "not alts" show up out of the aether to say frothing nazbol shit in support of it. That is how bad some modern post-Thiel Gawker articles can be.

Then apparently I am the one who first gets banned over it 😂
Well at least it’s all corrected now, seems the more sensible mods logged on to clean up the other’s mess
Welcome back!
