I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others’ words. Weird, isn’t it?

  • Since she later reinstated and it was the only banning controversy, I don’t think it’s something work sticking to the record. “Lashing out” also has the connotation of straight-up attacking people, not just banning them. Not to mention I have yet to see receipts about the bans and for what messages.

    So, the amount of criticism is way less in the thread about leaving than the thread, say, "I’m sad about Draego. Like the “pushback from others saying that it’s just not for you and it’s not your place to judge” was buried and never seen (by default sorting) in the Daegon threads. I don’t think this difference in community opinion can be explained by just the sympathy for leaving alone.






  • i get that there’s valid criticism, but the amount of bad was incongruent with the amount of vitriol in that era that were so demanding

    the mod author lashed out at both the trolls and people caught in the crossfire

    where tho

    it is shitty to “joke” about doxxing people

    definitely, but none of us have seen the context. i’ve been having trouble finding the discord server, and it’d be great if you could find it and the context

    they were not overwhelmed with trolls

    that’s how they read, especially when you compare their comments to the reddit post i linked. not even the sympathy for a person who leaves explains the difference to me



  • interestingly, china propagandized this peacetime soldier who died in an accident, lei fang, into this model citizen of kindness and selflessness, and thus the chinese call the hat the “lei feng hat” after propaganda depictions. whether that (and the fact that northeasterners usually wear the hat regardless of politics to combat cold) means it has shed communist symbolism is up to you
