I just tried to open an ATMB thread to discuss a question I had about a recent post of Aspidistra’s, which I was specifically encouraged to do by a mod, puzzlegal, when I approached her with my question. But now another mod has closed that thread because it seemed like a “pitting”. This doesn’t make much sense to me as the thread was asking a question about board policy and mentioned Aspidistra’s post only as an example of what I was asking about.
However, that mod action deprived me of the opportunity to respond to Aspidistra’s disingenous response to my OP, so here we are.
I think it’s a real problem if a person’s first-hand account of what has happened to them and their family is accounted “hate speech” and deleted from major platforms, and then anywhere that is willing to link their story is disallowed from being linked to and talked about. Don’t you?
You should tell me what in that mother’s talk you consider “hate”. Feel free to provide quotes.
Then if you consider me radicalised on this subject you should ask what radicalised me. In fact, it was the observing the consequences of belief in gender on various family members and friends of my kids, and then realising that it’s now impossible in public discourse to discuss anything negative about the consequences of belief in gender without immediately being censored, de-platformed and suppressed.
I empathise with the mother in the link being censored because I am censored. As is perfectly exhibited in this thread.
Aspidistra is, of course, doing what whiny right-wing snowflakes do, attempting to derail the discussion here by completely ignoring the substance of the post. The point isn’t that people aren’t allowed to tell their stories, it’s that they aren’t allowed to use hate speech to do it.
I already told you (one example of) why it’s hate speech – because it consistently refers to its female-identified subject as a male in order to degrade and insult her. Read the fucking OP.
And fuck you, you lying piece of shit. Nobody is “censoring” you. You didn’t even get a mod note! That’s the whole point of the ATMB thread. People are certainly calling you a bigoted piece of shit, but that’s no more than you deserve. Being judged based on the content of your speech isn’t “censorship” or “suppression”, no matter how much Trumpy whiners like yourself try to paint yourself as the victim while gleefully supporting policies designed to drive vulnerable children to suicide.
Seems to me that the person who got a warning for calling you on your shit, and then got their thread immediately closed when they tried to discuss the issue further, has a lot better claim to being “censored” than you do. (Not complaining about the warning; I had it coming and it was totally worth it)
