Re: I ARE SERIOUS PARISMONIA! (For what it's worth, I'm not a mod anymore, I haven't been around here as much lately due to non-online commitments, so I do realize I came into this thread late. I don't mean to be stirring shit up, but I care a lot about this place.)
It's my own fault for getting so pissed off that I felt compelled to reply, even after I said I wouldn't anymore. So I'm a hypocrite too.
Are you kidding me? You want to embrace ableism? The point is nobody should be "embracing" ableism, homophobia, racism or sexism or any kind of bigotry.
Then "anti-ableist." Whatever the correct term is. You know what I meant, don't be purposefully dense and pedantic to attempt make some kind of point.
Here it's requested that people act like decent human beings to each other.
I agree with that completely. I also believe that this community should embrace free speech. The two are NOT mutually-exclusive.
But that doesn't give you or anyone else the right to insult and attack others.
Not even when the insults and attacks are fucking hilarious? Aw.
Look, if people are so thin-skinned that the opinions of some random hack on the Internet who's too fucking lazy to even set an icon offend them? That's THEIR problem, not mine.
You seem to agree that it's best not to make light of rape, but you disapprove of the moderators telling people that making light of rape or objecting to rape is bad?
No; you should know by now that I don't object to speech of *any* type.
What I object to is the moderators censuring a poster for making light of rape. (Or, much more accurately, posting a goofy comic that some people here completely misconstrued as making light of rape.)
Words != actions. Actions > words.
But sometimes silence is seen as acceptance or agreement.
That's beyond weak. That's the best argument you have for feeding trolls? Seriously?
We like our superhero comics here. Justice must be served, you know?
Censuring speech is not The American Way.
The mods enable us to keep our space fun and enjoyable, free from most obvious hurtful and harmful asshats.
No they don't.
You haven't been around here very long, have you? I guess you missed the shitstorm when the old scans_daily was booted off of LiveJournal and the comics blogosphere couldn't shut up about it.
And that equates to more than "Jack Dick?"
For the record, I was on this community back then. I posted as the username "Grrrimgodzzila" or something similar. But good job with the strawman attack.
Now I heartily recommend you read some of think over here.
I spend my entire school career, including university, being shoved full of that exact type of bullshit propaganda. Now I make my own decisions.
