EDIT: Two responses from admins who dishonestly reframed the events of my ban and apparently refuse to explain it. Apparently “long time users” get different treatment.
EDIT2: The reason was finally given that “Have you stopped beating your wife?” in response to someone trying to put words in your mouth and ask loaded questions is a banworthy set of words. Incredible I know.
I would like explanation for the thinking that led to me being recently banned and branded a racist.
I was randomly attacked by a bad faith troll who later let slip that she was bearing a grudge based on some other encounter from 8 months ago. The attack consisted of an attempt to paint me as a racist for this simple and honest reading error.
I am a principled Marxist Leninist, active in real life and any reading of my contributions will support this and refute this slur on my character.
I can, at most, stretch to forgiving the ridiculous idea that I was the one being “toxic” here, and not simply holding up a mirror to the toxicity of the troll who attacked me for an innocent mistake, fantasised about me doing hypothetical racist things, asked me loaded questions and tried to put words in my mouth to fool credulous onlookers.
What I cannot ever accept is the allegation that I somehow engaged in “racism” anywhere in this interchange or in any of my other comments in the years I’ve participated on here. I deserve an explanation as to what you think you saw as racist in any of my comments.
I expect a complete apology, a clearing of my name and censure against my attacker and abuser. Those involved shamed themselves with their actions. You have an opportunity to make amends and undo that injustice you’ve inflicted.
I run a large ML forum with weekly views of tens of thousands and I recognise exactly the temptations you’ve allowed yourselves to succumb to of abusing your power for a false sense of righteousness based on petty bullying and unfair treatment. I know that I’m not the only one who’s been a victim of this on lemmygrad.
The contributors to this forum deserve better moderation and better judgement from the admins in general. The current process of banning people without right of reply is abusive and dishonourable. That can be a separate discussion.
OP is a transphobe. The pronoun “he” in this post refers to a trans woman. About that wife beating analogy another commenter mentioned, I think OP is accusing the trans woman they were arguing with of being a domestic abuser simply because OP wrongly views her as a man. In terf circles, I know there’s transphobic accusations about trans people abusing their wifes because reactionaries think were mentally ill and therefore must abuse our partners.
WHAT??! Who? If I’ve accidentally misgendered someone then I apologise. I am not a transphobe in any way.
Nobody is accusing anyone of being a domestic abuser anywhere here. Are this many people not aware of this loaded question example?
This is even weaker than the accusation of racism. Completely baseless attempts to paint someone as an oppressor of minorities to try to whip up a crowd.
To be honest I never heard of that loaded question exemple, but I guess that it makes sense considering the context. Also, the person you were arguing with is a trans woman. She is a long time user, however I think she took a break and only recently came back, and that could be the reason why you didn’t know they’re trans. I apologize if you didn’t know. That being said, I do remember you accusing another trans person of having an anime picture that could be found on vaush’s computer, referring to vaush’s pedophilic stuff. That thread can be found in the touhou community. It seems like there’s repeated transphobia coming from you, but I could be wrong I guess.
Thanks, I appreciate the apology. I am not a transphobic person in any way. Maybe I should pay attention to peoples’ bios more but I’ve never had any idea if I was talking to a trans person.
To give a brief outline from memory. I recieved a few stickers in a box with a keyboard I bought. They depicted a cartoon little girl with enormous breasts. I brought this up in a thread and people went nuts about it, apparently I wasn’t using the correct names for the sub genres of cartoon porn. I was pissed off about it and made that comment in a different thread. I was banned from hexbear for it.
I’ve never been aware of chatting to a trans person on here.
