While it's definitely cool and good that general opinion has turned against lowtax for good, he has done this (at least) twice before over years and years and it is a matter of public court record, on top of the many just personally lovely things he has said or done to prior staff or modmins, so I'm not sure why THIS time was finally the last straw for everyone.

Also Discord is 100% directly plugged into PRISM and every other alphabet soup data mining initiative on top of being trawled by kiwi farms so be extremely frosty if you're headed that way with leftish poo poo.

Multiple underage rape accusations which, given Maynard's whole "thing," are way more likely to be true than not. The women didn't want to be identified though so of course nothing further will happen and everyone will just pretend it's all cool.

This is some shameful coward bullshit right here.

"I have to keep this web forum run by the abuser I've defended in the past alive. Not for myself, but for the ~~community~~ of posters in a truly selfless act of devotion. We're totally ready to walk away. But we're not going to do that. Because we're cowards who don't want to give up our comfortable little bullshit nests and can just sort of put that whole domestic abuse thing in the backs of our minds. Donate to RAINN."

i was cautioned by lightning knight that i should wait out to see if lowtax would leave

between the new update and lightning's earlier responses, I'm not at all optimistic about that being what plays out, and I think we should all go

Again, lowtax has done this for YEARS and it has been public knowledge. You stayed because you value this community. The modmins are doing the same and made a statement to that effect, which you interpreted as a cop out and a power grab. You are free to disagree with their specific approach and do what you want, but you're also dumb as gently caress for casting aspersions about the intent of the only people with the leverage to potentially save this community in the very earliest stages of this whole thing.

Why are you being so hostile about this? Is it some guilt thing because you don't want to leave and it's upsetting you that I think it's immoral to stay?

Yeah I mean it is what it is, extenuating circumstances and all. I'm sure the staff understand this but unfortunately the mission of B&R has changed now. It's kind of pointless to make the forums not publically viewable or to maintain referral chains. KF and bad actors are inside the gates now and, as long as they lurk, won't ever be purged. It's no longer a safe space for lefty/marginalized types but literally a surrogate SA now with pretty much all the cons that entails.

The mission wasn't to be screenshot proof, we always planned on going public and we did a few months ago.

I mean it's not impossible, but it's not easy, or quick. Is b&r (or some subset of subforums) going to be viewable without an account at some point? One of the advantages of here was being able to link normie friends to specific threads or posts of things not getting media attention.

Well, speaking for myself, I was a totally bananas pro-war neocon when I was younger. There's no real way to "atone" for that, like "I was a bad person and now I'm a good person." All you can really do is engage in political work -- I think you have a sense of what some of that has been from my posts here. One thing that Cyrano has done since then that is cool is making a thread in that sub to track racist and fascist stuff in the gun industry, which IMO matters:

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3894692
I'm not caught up on the thread but if the "well-cited" racist screed Cyrano was applauding was about black-on-black violence you would (I hope) be much less inclined to carry water for him, which you should seriously reflect on. Trying to defend Cyrano on this for any reason means you are AT BEST terminally inclined to defend your modmin pals which is how this whole shitshow began, but it also seems likely that you just plain do not understand what's so virulently offensive and toxic about the screed in question.

it's complicity. And that can lead to real harm. No argument there. I'm not a liberal. Now what's the immediate, practical relevancy of that question now when the Islamophobes have since been purged and TFR restructured to have gun threads tracking racism and fascism in the gun industry? Probably the only gun forum on the entire internet that does that. All the other ones are moderated by fascists.

Taking your arguments at face value, it sounds to me like TFR's miraculous reformation happened in spite of, not because of, Cyrano's willingness to allow disingenuous phrenology posts on his forum.

Also idk why that ever required admin buttons.

Also if the problem is already solved, idk why Cyrano needs buttons at all anymore. You don't need powers to track fascism in the gun industry.

But most of all, I especially don't know why you feel compelled to defend him.
