Pick is often funny and doesn't break the rules. The worst she has ever done is be a little classist.

Don't sell Pick short, now, she hasn't met a social issue yet where she doesn't side with the capital class.

I don't particularly like Pick but she makes people in D&D and C-SPAM very very ridiculously angry which is a valuable service to the forums and I respect and salute her for it.

In other news, whoo boy we've got a live one:

there wolf posted:

Yes, the majority of pedophiles know acting on the impulse would be terrible and so they don't do it, instead indulging in it through media and roleplaying with other adults. As much as it sucks, it's likely that sexual attraction to prepubescents is a hardcoded sexuality the way hetero and homosexuality are, in which case the proshippers have a point that having that sort of content serves a social good, providing an outlet for desires that cannot be actually realized.

But thats one part of what would be a complex argument even for reasonable adults. In fandom it's a loving nightmare sucking in a whole whole host of toxic behaviors that have been normalized in that space.

Someone namechanged to "garys oldman diary" to confuse everyone. Read it carefully and you'll get it.

It hasn't got six strings, but it's a lot of fun.
I feel like if you develop an inane arbitrary posting rivalry with someone that you insist on perpetuating there should be an automatic mod challenge to settle it in a way that ends in mutual respect, such as a chess match or a laser tag duel

old timey duelists would adopt annoying duel methods to prevent the duel without loss of honor, such as dueling at 4 am with umbrellas, so clearly all mod-sanctioned grudge matches should be in the form of novelty rap battles

Mind you, all this was because someone quoted a voice actor's twitter post complaining about crazy people in fandom sending them porn of a character they played. The mod just had to weigh in with their opinions about people who write/draw porn of fictional characters.

Exactly the response you'd expect from an admin rocking an avatar that that has a black coat with a red armband and a red, black, and white cross-shaped symbol on their chest, but it's different symbols so it's totally not Nazi-themed and the anime character just likes Hugo Boss.

Banning the mod you appointed for being a pedo-apologist is a good thing, doesn't make up for all the bad you do though.

they at least pointed out other posts that homeless friend made they had a problem with, except instead of telling him in whatever way to knock it off at the time, decided to wait until they made an entirely innocuous fat joke to hit them over.

im sure they trust their own judgment about a poster they don't like that was on the wrong side of a particular argument and aren't being dishonest about how they feel, but its also why most actual judgement orientated jobs require you to recuse yourself in matters that involve yourself so directly, especially since even if somehow you are never emotionally swayed it looks really terrible and arbitrary when your judgments coincidentally end up being the same ones that an extremely mad person with zero sense of humor would make

A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS

Balthesar posted:

Literally no good can ever come of posting about this poo poo, but I didn't read this as a comparison of homosexuals in a 'see they are equal' way, but more speculating that the existence of this group of people across human history suggests it is a trait that some people are born with, as we now commonly agree is true of homosexuals/LGBT (they are born as such). "there wolf" didn't seem to be saying we should like it, or that by nature of it existing it should be accepted.

I think this is a sensitive topic for pretty much anyone, so I can understand a knee-jerk reaction, but I think "there wolf" was at least attempting to make a rational (non trolling) point, not defend vile acts or put homosexuality on the same level as pedophilia so I think this particular ban reason is bad.
