So here is a link to the discussion post and it goes about as expected with the mod poster going into a history lesson about the sub and what is going with its current heated state. Talks about bringing both of the spectrum together, yadda yadda yadda, and some other shit about attempts to improve the subreddits moderation. The bigger blow up is the higher mods refusal to remove one of the more problem moderators causing the most problems which one user comments about, with citations, in the run up to the big talk.
During all of this, /SubredditDrama catches wind of it and the problem moderator decided to go over and comment in that thread leading to more controversy.
There is a followup posting on the new sister subreddit called /PublicfreakoutsReborn where people start to speculate about about the future of APF and starting to write it off as a lose because of the refusal to remove the most controversial moderator from it.
This is from one of the mods that started the entire thing:
Who wants to bet this is either a woman or trans?
On going joke is that they are a woman with a dick.
Definitely a tranny. It's like if pinkerbelle and Shadist were one gender dysmorphic nutcase.
I have a theory that in order to truly believe that you are a woman despite being a man and not kill yourself then you must be on some mind melting medication. Something that would take away from you the ability for analytical or critical thought. I can't see it work any other way. So a heavy medicated person easily becomes an amoral, brainwashed idiot that can push and believe any ideology and ignore any argument. And do to current climate you can not fire them or even critic them in anyway. If you are to consider the culture war an actual war then trans are in fact super-soldiers.
They got their own pink?
Another of the mods let slip its a woman, or a "woman."
Because it always is. From the one that killed Animemes a month ago to the Pinkerbelle that caused 75% of the KIA drama.
I played MMOs for a long time, and nearly every guild that ever died was caused by a woman. They literally cannot be trusted in these "spaces."
It sucks, because I know a few women who aren't batshit and can be trusted. But they're just as jaded about all this. Still, gatekeeping is a good thing. We keep seeing proof why
They can't be trusted in normal spaces. There are good women obviously, I am great friends with a few of them but the absolute worse individuals I've ever worked with have been women. Fake smile and then backstab anyone with every chance, man or woman, make drama out of nothing, report to HR for stupid things, turn victim the second someone does not like them. And the absolute worst has been a black woman who would pull the race card every fucking time there was even a hint of criticism for what she did, and she was incredibly incompetent at her job but we had to have diversity hires. This was a while ago fortunately.
"I've been breaking their echo chamber... by banning people for submissions I don't like"
War is peace
That alone should be enough evidence of inappropriate bias.
I think the term 'subhuman' is more appropriate.
Gotta love the mods that want to educate their community and deciding what is the right content. Imagine being so full of yourself that you think that what you want matters more than what the people - the very people that are the only reason the position you are in at that point in time exists - want. But enough about ShadistReddit and pinkerbelle.
The sub is lost. They should look for an alternative outside of reddit.
That's pretty much every sub on reddit. Mods dictating content and arbitrarily and inconsistently deciding what doesn't belong and what does.
Ya, I've been seeing the writing on the wall the past week. Funny thing is one of my social media stalkers called that subreddit an nazi subreddit.
Somewhat late to the party here, but they do that because it works on lefties. Right-wingers just kind of go "k" because being once you look at it, it becomes apparent that once "X is a nazi" has been introduced to left-wing echo chambers, it's never coming off. Your best response is to mock them for it - but fellow lefties won't or can't do this.
Oh I mock them all the time, especially when they responded to one of my tweets and called the me stalker. What is funny is they tried to chase me off r/AmIFreeToGo, a subreddit that I have been active nearly its entire lifespan.
Hey now. Give Princess Rara and Bane their due. Shad and Pink were just the yapping lackies under those two actual problems.
Heh, Rara ... From being completely invisible as a mod (a good thing) to a complete meltdown within a few weeks. Good times.
One of the fastest power trips in reddit history.
