Wanting to know the reason why people think a poster is actually a rereg of a different poster isn't "going to bat for" them. Considering how many people have been falsely accused of being my reregs it's a perfectly understandable question to have.

Curious how you are jumping on how you aren't "going to bat for them", considering this is the kind of behaviour you usually engage in where an accusation is made by a woman/minor against a grown man, and your first instinct is to question them instead of the accused's actions:

Here's a woman who said she met him in 2017 when she was 17 and he was 36. According to the vid they began a relationship after she accidentally sent him a flirty text message/pic she had meant to send to someone else. She says he believed her to be 18.

I really wish they just had an entirely separate internet for everyone under 18, it would make life so much better for everyone. This isn't even the first youtube guy to have his life ruined because a girl lied about her age and then later cashed it in for cancel points once she felt guilty.

The idea that all PMs will be read should be the absolute bare minimum expectation for mods but at the same time sending a single PM to a single mod and then throwing up your hands and going "welp, the ball is in their court" when you never get a response is pretty weak.

Of all the pathetic, stupid things to pick apart, you choose this? What incites you to be the most unpleasant and miserable person around? I don't even care if you think this is trolling or some poo poo, a dumbass crapping himself and eating the crap while everyone tells them what a poor life choice that is isn't getting anything over on anyone but himself.

I have been told it depends on your local chapter, some are actually really good, most are useless, and a chunk are toxic little personality cults built around warring narcissists. The useless ones are probably just as bad at expelling creeps as they are at everything else.

hey, every time there's credible accusation of a man on the internet committing sexual harassment or other similar types of behaviour, somehow it's Sleeveless/Of Science/Guy Mann who pops up to cast doubt on the accusation, and then quietly doesn't respond when people call him out for that poo poo, makes you do that big think emoji

Gurf is a "YouTube" "comedian" who started posting his terrible videos in GBS a few years ago to try to get more clicks. He's been perma'd many times for this but he sudden stopped a while back and I was actually kinda afraid he'd died of the 'rona or something because he really is an utter idiot.

Basically imagine you're a wildlife biologist studying an endangered species that only lives in a single tiny habitat and suddenly one day you stop seeing them at all despite it being your job to find them. Then a couple years go by with no sightings and you're sad because in all likelihood the species is extinct and you're all set to move on with your life until out of the blue one of the creatures takes a dump on the hood of your car while looking you in the eye and the acid in the poo poo ruins the paint.

That's what Gurf turning up again is like.

I don't know that DSA is particularly worse than other leftist organizations but anything that operates sort of on the fringes, whether it's a political organization that exists outside the overton window or a niche subculture or fandom you end up needing and wanting people involved so much that you maybe don't always notice the red flags right away the way you would if you weren't so desperate for manpower or, more cyncially, maybe you do notice the red flags and just ignore them for the sake of expedience. And unfortunately there's a kind of opportunistic predator type that finds those environments very easy to exploit.

She was sexually abusive to people here (or rather, in discord servers for a few threads here), and then got outed after doing the bnr thing, for which she was promptly permaed both here and there afaik.
