Lmao if you think this forum is anything other than a safe space for racists as long as they don't use the n word.

if we're just naming the largest websites and calling them altright cesspools i also nominate google and amazon. have u seen the hosed up nazi stuff u can find on there!?!?

FactsAreUseless posted:

Great, then post that in big bold letters in GBS, because we're already seeing this stuff happen. Please. People care a lot about what you and Lowtax say about the forums, including me. So anything you say that can open the door to this kind of behavior is an issue. I don't care if the politics forums become more conservative, but we've already had to deal with doxxing and a public and not-backed-up pedophilia accusation today. We can't stop people from offsite from coming here and finding info people post, and I get that, but we can draw a clear line and say "this is what's not acceptable."

This isn't what I'm trying to do. I don't think you - or anyone who posts on this site, actually - hates lgbt people or is trying to harass them. I'm just very annoyed that this other website has started trying to harass our users. If I'm conflating different issues, fine, fair, it just has me on edge.

FactsAreUseless posted:

I'm not trying to invalidate the issues people have over D&D, this is just the place that I have to get attention for this tangentially related but much more serious issue.

It seems like you need a handy organizational chart about the Oppression Hierarchy to post in certain threads.

Sorry, I'm very angry about Kiwifarms. I realize that it isn't somehow your fault because you liked some funny pictures they did.

FactsAreUseless posted:

It's not, and I'm sorry I implied this, and I'm also not the "main admin:" ZDR does so much more work keeping these forums going than me, and I was just made an admin alongside a few others all at once. Everyone here cares a lot about the forums, and I obviously spend a lot of time on them. It's been a frustrating few days and that all just spilled out.

Pop-o-Matic Trouble posted:

This whole idea behind this thread feels really inappropriate for a public forum.

Lowtax posted:

I believe the entire purpose of this thread was to point out that a forum called "Debate and Discuss" should be *more* lenient with free speech, as opposed to more intolerant. I do not believe anything said was to be interpreted as "we are racists and want more racists." It's kind of the exact opposite.

Listen, everybody is so quick to label everybody else. I'm accused of being alt right by the left, and a SJW by the alt right. Does one accusation have to be correct? No. Instantly labeling people, particularly as racists, is not conductive to either debate not discussion. Does me saying that make me racist?

Nevvy Z posted:

Yeah, but at some point it's the same poeple over and over again doing the same poo poo because they can't be bothered to be educated.

this is ruining the discourse!!!!!!

joeburz posted:

This thread and the incidents preceding it are an excellent example of people completely overreacting and being incapable of handling a black person in power, however small that power may be.

Chelb posted:

Well yeah, racism's been going on for a pretty long time

Nevvy Z posted:

Yeah gently caress this place if we are discouraged from racism why even live

As her husband, I can 100% assure you she's upset because she previously considered herself to be a feminist Canadian liberal from the weed capital of the world, and the attitude amongst fellow liberals here blew her out of the water.

Why do some groups deserve your protection and others don't?

Nevvy Z posted:

It was ignored becuase no one thought you were posting it in good faith.

Invisible Handjob posted:

yeah nothing I said was wrong, what made you think it wasn't in good faith?

so you think ching chong wing wong poo poo is okay?
was it because you don't find the term mongoloid offensive and think it's a joke?
was it because I mentioned chris rock's offensive stereotyping at the oscars?

or did you get offended by me mentioning the long history of discrimination Asians have faced in this country, including their expulsion and exclusion after building the railroad for near slave wages? the fact that they look completely different, often are first generation immigrants and stereotyped as being unable to speak english?

you know how many loving eating cat and dog comments an asian person in rural america has to go through on a daily basis?

none of you thought that was serious enough to comment on though, ok

Nevvy Z posted:

Because this reads like a parody of a bad stone cold post

Nevvy Z posted:

No, now if you'lle xcuse me I need to make a post in QCS about how mean people in D&D have been to me.

noyemi hasnt watched an anime since she moved in with me in september

real talk I don't think it's the race of the people in the gifs, its the fact that you're posting gifs at all. It makes you seem flippant and dismissive of people's concerns, and the fact that the gifs are tumblr-style clips of movies or television shows makes you seem immature

it's the forums mod equivalent of sending out a legal notice in comic sans

Noyemi K posted:

you are a loving paranoid idiot

FactsAreUseless posted:

One obvious solution would be to have a conservative mod. And I don't mean conservative in the sense of "mainstream liberal that other liberals accuse of being a secret Republican." But I don't know who the good candidates are because I don't follow D&D closely enough.

Lowtax posted:

This thread is a great example of how I think D&D should be. There's a good amount of serious posts, a good amount of jokes, and a minimal amount of "you disagree with me, therefore you are X" poo poo. Seriously, I don't even know who I'm making fun of anymore, but it's not some dreadful feeling like an invisible sword is about to chop off my head for saying the "wrong" thing. Besides the person I banned for being a waste, everybody has been cool and good in my HONEST OPINION.

This thread is assuredly not what DnD is like.
