The fact CARCOSA has the presence of mind to step down (should have just offered it, don't step down please) and these losers are still just hiding is reprehensible.

They're saying we're being misanthropic when we shoot the shit about the absurdities about reactionary thought? I mean, we started out as a fandom for a political comedy podcast for crying out loud. That sort of pop criticism is what drew me left in the first place.

But, if we're talking "misanthropic," I've seen reactionary guys who's brains have been poisoned by consuming nothing but crime stories. They think humans are just naturally violent in some sort of semi-Hobbesean view. Now that's what I'd consider misanthropic.

Lol sorry I couldnt comment on the actual post so I put it here

Condescending, infantilizing, dismissive, ableist, and incredibly transphobic - what can't be said about that post? Genuinely fucking wack, the mods responsible can eat my entire ass. Especially at a point in time where the right is attacking trans people with no pushback, the liberals are already starting to abandon us, and our rights and our lives are in more danger then they have been in decades. Coming from a place that was so formative in allowing me to develop my understanding of my own gender is just so so disappointing. We've literally done demographic surveys, half the active users aren't even cis. We're right back to tone policing and civility politics, yet again. We're a shitposting site and we always have been, a direct offshoot of a shitposting subreddit. Sorry if I seem misanthropic but it comes with the territory when half the country you live in hates your fucking guts. I'm not going to be a good civil little f-slur and write an effort post explaining why reactionary shithead number 48902507's opinion is counter-revolutionary, I want their takes ripped to shreds and treated with the disdain that reactionary opinions deserve. Where is your fucking rage? . And then to say that there's a problem with mysogyny on the dunk comms and call the new comm fucking gossip??? A term meaning vapid and mindless chatter that is deeply associated with misogynyistic attitudes towards women?? Absolutely nasty. Calling it mutual self harm is fucking gross and ableist too. I know well what self harm is, and I don't need some jumped up power user telling me that getting some laughs or venting our anger at terrible people a bit in a broken, dying world is remotely equivalent to even the most basic forms of SH. Its insulting at best. I would go so far as to say that there were points in my life where having just the tiniest refuge of sanity in a sea of shit kept me from doing worse things to myself than what I've already done. Whoever made that analogy specifically needs to pull their head out of their fucking ass.

If there's a problem with comm culture then a discussion should have been made about what could be done on both the users, and the mods ends to improve the comms in a more positive direction. Things like - finding a better name, healthier site usage habits, combating misogyny, racism, etc, and pushing back against irony poisoning. But clearly there is a problem with the moderation itself if this is the attitude that the a large portion of the mod team has towards the userbase.

@TransComrade69@hexbear.net I think a mod purge or at least deeeep self crit is warranted for the mods who engaged in this display of smug, self righteous,

get your laughs while you can, I'm going to go

The cishet man comments hurt me too. Sorry I give off cishet man vibes.
