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.

I just want you to know that the only reason this isn't the most embarrassing thing I've read today is because There Wolf also posted today.

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.

At the risk of inviting hell down on me, I'll requote what I said in the mod section about this

quote:

Listen, I agree that pedophiles deserve to get help and support. Nobody should be denied therapy.

But acting like fandom poo poo is a healthy outlet is insane. That's where kids have been preyed on by pedophiles the hardest, and shipping an adult with a kid is definitely not the healthy outlet for dealing with it. If you have pedophilia urges, get professional help, don't go on the internet and engage with fandom that no doubt a bunch of children are also engaging in.

They were also citing James Cantor, who is a guy trying to get "P" added to "LGBT"
