I'm not here to talk about the labels I put on people. I'm here to talk about the actions and consequences of refusing to name or labels troubles and consider the behavior of labelling problematic people as toxic. So I will use my bans as a source of political discussion about problems related to moderation and the acceptation of toxic behavior:
You might not know that, but this is not the first ban or thread banned on this forum. I was thread banned 5 times (this is my 5th). Here are the reasons:
1. 1 month threadbanned from the nakama thread because I was calling out the toxicity of people. The mods didn't like the fact that Iabel people as "toxic" (because I faced insults at the time) and thus threadbanned me for a month by saying something like "stop labelling people, you are the toxic one"
2. ? month threadbanned from the Nakama thread because I thought it would be pertinent to talk about the link between the concept of racism and the treatment of fictionnal races by fans since, at the time, people were using the fact that Carrot was a Mink as a way to delegitimize and dehumanize her. Which didn't please some people and exposed some of their racist bias .. biases that I called out. Threadbanned under an injonction like "Stop bringing politic where it doesn't belong" > (I'm the one who asked for a political section on the forum after that)
3. x week threadbanned from the political thread because I refused to let a specific poster and multiple other users spit out despicable transphobia for days after I explained in a very positive and pedagogic post why before buying Hogward legacy, you should be aware that it would finance a very hardcore anti-trans activist (this is what made this thread grow in the first place). Reason of the ban I think : "stop arguing, you need to be two to squable" thus putting me who was fighting shear transphobia on the same level as the one spitting it.
4. PERMABANNED from the Nakama thread because I said that political discussions should be given more freedom and have more place in discussion about political subject related to the story (which is literally what the Nakama thread is when you take the time to understand the purpose and core principles of the thread) and that I would not hesitate to continue to discuss about those subjects if I were to return in the thread. No reason for the threadban. It was arbitrary.
So... do you see a recurring pattern here ?
