Yeah, it was… Interesting. I’m not worried. I just found it odd watching it go from “Read the room, bigot” to “If I met you, I would fucking kill you and place you and your family’s dismembered bodies on display as an example to others”…
It’s like, well fuck, this is… Something else.
And then the mods banned me, and not them, lol…
Very unusual, twice in one week, but… Circlejerk’s gonna circlejerk!

Eh, the mad dogs of the regime gonna mad dog.
First they will try to shame you - conform to the opinions of "the room", or else.
If that doesn't work, they'll try threatening you.
I'm sure they had a third trick up their sleeve as well, if that also had not worked.
I’ve received death threats on Reddit three times in six months (on different accounts). For dissenting. For interrupting the circlejerk. That should be enough to put anyone off…
But it also makes me care much less about their stupid sports.
The whole shit with this game, the “racism scandal”, the troon worship (see other post), banning people from the sub/other forums for merely being against lockdowns elsewhere on Reddit, and now the psychos from that post - fuck it.
I’ll go watch the Grand Final at the pub (better, anyway), and toast the televised game (and TV news) farewell, I think. Because this is just… Absurd.
And less tv has got to be a good thing.
I can always go to local games in person, or even be involved in the sport in other ways.
I do not need the insane woke bureaucracy of the national league, the television, or fucking Reddit to tell me what to think, lol…
So… I’m kind of ok with this. My interest was waning anyway. This just killed it, perhaps for good.
Silver linings.
Ironically, my direct ancestors were involved in the codification of the rules for this sport (yes, really), so I do wonder how they would feel…
They didn’t live to see the “birth” of television, or even Abos be given the vote (which took until the 1960s, amazingly), so I imagine they would probably appreciate the irony.
Community sport is much more enjoyable anyway. So I’m happy with that.

You hit a nerve. I'd be quite pleased with myself. But you are such a pleasant, and dare I say sensitive (in a good way), person that you probably think differently about that.
I have received zero death threats on Reddit, despite being somewhat notorious. You should be quite proud of yourself. You got under their skin.

It's an excellent thing. Imagine how stupid I felt after buying an expensive new TV for the last season of Game of Thrones.

Cut out the stuff that make your life worse, if you can. Even if they are married to your family members.

The only true crime is dissent.
Totally agreed.
In the end, I think it’s a good thing.
