I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

I learned a new slur today. Thanks, you just ruined my television. Also, being gay = fascism, now. Apparently.

Yes, any kind of imposing over someone else's freedom is nor democratic or freedom. You can be gay all you want, but don't demand anything from me, especially not changing how people speak, that's orwellian and also NO TOUCHING CHILDREN.

I don't know how to break this to you, but we've been changing the way we speak since speaking was a thing. LGTV is a new slur and you've adapted to that easily enough.

[–] IZZI@lemm.ee -4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, by my own will. See the difference?

That one's some edgelord slang term meant to get a reaction while the other is respectful of the freedom people should have to be and love who they want?
