Target still sells LGBTQIA products? I thought they'd gone full mask-off queerphobic after a few MAGAs said mean words about Target on the internet. I know I won't shop at Target since like 2021.

Oh is that what it's for? I've been using it to wipe, but it really smarts

That's curious. It doesn't for me.

and r/GamersRiseUp, and that one about "frens" (can't remember exactly what it was called)

It's definitely worth at least keeping this community on the radar. I had a look, and I don't foresee it going well.

I'm sure you acted in good faith, but I also understand drag's point of view. Difficult thing to address for sure.

I can understand the concern about the suicidal person because that's a sensitive topic that's always difficult to approach. I can't judge drag because I wasn't there.

Banning someone for encouraging violence against Nazis is suspect, though. What do they think we should do? Ask them politely to stop being Nazis? Lol

Oh, I see now. It's hard for me to see everything because drag's screenshot is tiny, but I see in the modlog drag is banned from 196.

As much as I enjoy the shitposts, 196 has always been a sort of milquetoast centrist community, even on reddit. I didn't look at everything, so I can't determine for certain if drag crossed a line, but what I saw as far down as I scrolled was just normal and healthy stuff like "we should kill Nazis." That seems alright to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Appealing to the most willfully ignorant potential buyers is probably the only hope for this guy to sell this relic of the past

Let's face it. The mods and admins have to make decisions they don't necessarily agree with to protect the community. There are things I'd like to say that I don't for this reason, though I too have had mod action against me in the past, as well as some communication from admins (which, for the record, was always professional and kind).

That's why I post my very hottest takes on my favorite CIA honeypot, tumblr.

Satire. I don't really like our single-party genocidal slave state or agree with the things it stands for, which I referenced above.

 

The genocide and deportation weren't bad before because 2020-2024 were The Biden Years, and everything was good during the Biden years. Nothing anti-queer happened those years either because A Democrat Was In Office, so just remember how good we had it then. Deporting and imprisoning immigrants wasn't bad during those years either because I'm sure Biden treated them nicely because he was a Democrat, and therefore, a nice person. Just like Harris, who was also nice. And Walz who only called the National Guard on Black protestors because he knew it was right for them, in all his wisdom as a Democrat.

But now. Now genocide is bad again because the onarge man is in office, the man who shits in a diaper and looks weird. Did I mention he's orange? And also fascist? Unlike Democrats, who are progressive in every way and never appear to be fascist. Don't you understand democrats only voted against trans people because we have to play The Game? We have to win the elections! We really, really want to win elections! We don't want to win so badly that we would stop supporting an unpopular genocide or deporting latinx people, but other than that ... we REALLY want to win you guys, so won't you please donate to us and vote harder for us in the future? We need to make an even bigger flashing globe next time to win so that people won't remember all the dead and dying brown children they saw in their feed, which again, was good because those were the Biden years, the Democrat years, as a reminder, therefore good!

And America good! We need to save America! Because America has only ever been good. We Civilized the indigenous people, put the black people to work, and don't forget that if you suspect your latinx neighbors of not showing enough party devotion to us, the Democrats, you should call ICE. Yes, you should call ICE just like they suggested on reddit and facebook because we need workers in this country and things haven't been so good since the 13th amendment, and we need to use that "except as" to our advantage. That's our goal. To reach across the aisle in a bipartisan effort to preserve the important things America really stands for.

So never forget how good things were during the Biden years and how bad things are now. In case you need some help, I've made a helpful flow chart:

Democrats -> good things

Republicans -> bad things

Now get out there and remember to tell people they're bots if they say bad things about The Party!

I find it best just not to engage with them at all. I know the argument can be made that it's for the benefit of other readers, but that's best done in a top-level comment imo
