Drama is when your friend starts talking to your crush behind your back or spreads rumors and shit. People being attacked and belittled for the way they are and their accompannying struggles is not "drama," its bigotry and it could literally turn this site into some kind of stupidpol or redscare fucking cesspool or much worse.

If you dont wanna stick your nose in any of these issues, thats ok, but just dont minimize the struggles of trans peoples. Literally pretending none of this is happening would be more constructive than punching down on people who just want to be treated with respect and have their voices heard. But ideally, please be a true ally and try to activelly push back against transphobia.

Just felt like i had to get that off my back, thanks my sexy commie comrades :heart-sickle: .

    This thread did literally zero to remedy the situation. Also don't assume I equate drama to transphobia. Drama to me is when people fo full reactionary on shit they have nothing to do with or doesn't affect them much at all. Like for example when we removed the Downvotes, and people lose their shit and bitch about it all day in 400 different posts. Or when we introduced featured posts to make some threads easier to find. And people lose their shit about it and form online militias and discord operations to fuck with the site.

      Yeah but the assumption is that anyone who calls this drama isnt taking it seriously and is therefore a reactionary, basically they're crafting the argument that will get you banned right before your eyes. This is good, we always said we'd shed a tear of joy when the next generation realizes we did not go far enough and executes us for it.

        Also like even if some people are thinking of the reactionaries as the drama I’ve seen people going the other way and/or painting with a wide brush in general.

        I think reaffirming our stance on this isn’t a waste of time. It needs to be said

          So this is the site's stance now? Will people who call this drama be censured then banned for arguing in bad faith? If we cant even smugly look down on fights we arent participating in, then we arent chapos anymore.
