I'm sorry, are we banning people for having stupid opinions about can openers now? Is this where we are? I'm genuinely getting a bit annoyed with how ban happy the mods have gotten.
Yeah he was calling people "bitch" and acting like emotional abuse is a thing that doesn't exist because nobody goes to jail for it. I get that they said they were abused themselves, and that is awful but yeah. Downplaying other forms of abuse is not how you make things better.
There is a growing movement to criminalise coercive control in domestic violence matters which includes emotional abuse
if only there was some way to involve even more police in domestic violence
I'm sure you'll be surprised to know that there's a real strong risk it'll just make it harder for victims of DV to get access and result in greater policing of nonwhite people
If he was being abusive towards other users that's a different matter.
It's also worth noting that banned users can just make another account and keep right on posting. Plenty presumably do, too; you just occasionally get folks like this who make a "banned_user2" account and then throw a tantrum about getting put in posting time out.
People shouldn't get attached to their accounts anyway. I'm strongly considering deleting this account at 10,000 comments and making a Soylent Green celebration post about it.
Now calling people bitch is abuse. The slippery slope continues.
I guess Chen is abusive for calling Marsha Blackburn a lifetime bitch? Is saying bitch against the rules?
Let’s all go cancel Chen!!!
yeah i thought this was fuckin stupid before opening the thread but i think kim needs some time outside
maybe make the ban temporary
Just make a rule against saying the word bitch, or don’t ban people for it.
But no, you’d rather it be a murky gray area so you can ban those who disagree with the witch hunts and circlejerks
I don't think it's specifically the words you used that got you banned, just the abuse towards fellow comrades.
I was receiving much more “abuse” (online name calling is not abuse) than I was giving, I only got salty towards the end when people downplayed my abusive experiences.
Yet I’m the only one with a ban... hmmmm....
I'm sorry if you felt like people were hurling abuse at you, and that people were downplaying any abuse you experienced. That's obviously not very fun. If you feel like people were being abusive to you, you should report it. Mods around here typically want a very positive space for people.
However, I haven't read the thread and honestly don't plan to so I can't validate (nor disprove) what you're saying. Obviously, you've got a new username and can stay unbanned as long as rules aren't broken.
To be clear, by "downplaying my abusive experiences" they mean people telling them that having experienced abuse doesn't make them an expert on what is and isn't abuse, as far as I can tell. I didn't see one person actually downplay the abuse they experienced.
And ironically, they spent their entire time in that thread downplaying other people's abuse.
Again, please learn what the word abuse means and stop flinging it around so carelessly. Being mocked online is not violence, it is not abuse.
Calling the CPS and cops on an entertainer for a comedic anecdote that landed flat? That’s getting closer
Witch hunt! Circle jerk! Ad Hominem! No True Scotsman! Wengardium Leviosa!
Then why were the people calling me names not banned, but I was banned for responding in kind? Rules for thee but not for me?
I am entirely down with obnoxious pedantry being a bannable offense. Reddit-brain should not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Now, obnoxious pedantry resulting in a ban is fine, but i'm thinking about the slipery slope here, you never know who might come next. First they come for the obnoxious pedants, what if next being a fucking idiot becomes a bannable offense? As a noted member of the Fucking Idiot community and a frequent practicer of garden varity, well-intentioned stupidity, ngl i'm kind of worried...
That's exactly what I noticed - I said to them "this is reddit shit"
I'm not used to posting on Chapo and having to argue with someone over what's textually stated or what's implied -
or hearing "actually that is a LEGAL TERM, which means SOMETHING MORE SPECIFIC" hoooooly shit
This post is pointless. Obviously I recognise that the discussion was about what constitutes child abuse, but it was framed around can openers. Your attempt at an own is dumb.
Modlog says they were banned for misogyny, how is that an "opinion about can openers"?
This is the Internet. You all just made a scene over beans and ruined a man’s career. I’m not allowed to make fun of you?
I was just browsing twitter and apparently the guy also has a habit of dropping N bombs and antiemetic jokes. Also apparently nothing has happened to him except a podcast that used some music he wrote stopped using the music. Lets try to keep things in perspective here.
The antisemitic jokes were irony and mocking actual anti-semites. Better cancel Amber
Did he ever say the n-word outside of just quoting it? Like did he ever use it in a sentence?
I "cancelled" amber a long time ago when she shit on police abolition activists.
Yet you are still on a site affiliated with her show that she profits from. Curious.
Me entering the thread: yeah maybe banning people for this is a little over the top
Me seeing this shitshow: k nevermind keep banning em
Big "dudebros responding to MeToo accusations" energy tbh.
Went and looked up exactly what he said and its not as bad as you had me imagining but still, yeesh.
honestly I can never tell if Felix is just 2000 layers irony pilled or not.
His career was ruined by all the bigotry he did, which got publicized by posting about how shitty a dad he was. It wasn't just the beans.
What bigotry? Because all I saw was out of context jokes mocking anti-semites. You know, the stuff they do on the podcast this place is named after?
You all are turning into the humorless lib scolds you originally mocked
There was a lot of rape jokes, a lot of antisemitism which was definitely not mocking bigots, some homophobia, and that's not even getting into the n-word.
I logged in like 30 mins ago. Make fun of me if you want, I'm not the weirdo doubling down on misogyny over a community ban
There was no misogyny. I call people bitch and lifetime bitch all the time. As do half the users here.
Are you feeling embarrassed cause a user made fun of you for getting banned from a comm?
No every time I get banned I become more powerful than before.
This is such a weird comeback, why didn't you take the chance to call me a bitch one last time?
No it perfectly explains you all. You are such a pile of contradictory bullshit and the second someone pokes at your hypocrisy you lash out and ban.
These weirdos trying to get Enver levels of notoriety. You don't realize that she simply was on another level of posting
This weirdo still has a chance tho. Their main is banned from the dunk tank only
F comrade enver, gone but never forgotten
My personal notoriety is irrelevant. All that matters is the post
Is saying bitch a cancellable offense? I seem to remember this community all jerking themselves over Chen’s tweet the other week. Lifetime bitch ring any bells?
Is it bad or not? Make up your damn mind children
I dont know anything about this guy other than that 김종칠 or 김정칠 sounds like a very authentic Korean old guy name (Especially the 칠 part - often it meant he's like the seventh son of the family which isnt exactly common these days)
One of the leaders of 1961 South Korean right-wing military coup that eventually became a founding KCIA chief and had a lengthy political career is named 김종필(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Jong-pil) so that guy also comes to mind.
