...will the board consider explicit transphobia hate-speech?

[Jragon]

So any reason we’re allowing this

@Mallard

My wife and I are both in our 60’s. If God forbid something happens to her and I’m plunked back into the dating world, hopefully if the ads are “Women seeking men” or “men seeking women” there’s at least that much truth. I would hope that I could tell the difference between a woman and a Transylvanian…or whatever they’re called before we get to the dick-check stage:eek:

@Kobal2

What. Are. You. Talking. About. ? Who’s ramming what down your throat ?

@Mallard

With any luck, not a chick’s dick.

@Kobal2

Very droll. I assure you I am in stitches, inside. Now would you care to answer the question in earnest ?

(bolding Mallard’s)

@Mallard

Not that either. :eek:

We’re going to allow “contra positions” whatever that is, fine. Apparently we’re not going to mod Annoyed’s whatever the fuck without even a comment about it from the Pit mods because… idk… it was a political jab so therefore not transphobia or something??? But apparently now we’re okay with transphobic jokes, including an allusion to “chick with a dick” which is a slur on the level of “tranny”, and “Transylvanian” which isn’t a standard slur but is deliberately mocking trans people in a slur-like way, and just generally posting in the thread to make driveby transphobic jabs instead of meaningfully engaging with the topic?
