It can also just be projection, watch out for that.
I've certainly projected my "I know what that facial expression means"/"I know why you said it like that" onto someone when it was really my own insecurities or assumptions.
Let's set that precedent. I don't see any issues that could arise going forward.
Rich people are less likely to get sick as well. Why even bother checking? Waste of time. We can set up a fast pass for them.
It's the poors we gotta worry about. Well, specifically, the [Redacted] the [Redacted] and of course the [Redacted]. Degenerates... We need a way to separate them in line... Hmmm. I'm thinking barbed...chain link? Thoughts?
If it makes you feel any better, I do see your point. And now discussing this further requires nuance, and arguing either side will get you labeled anti-semetic or pro-exclusionism. The nuance will be lost and the label applied. You indeed turned the controversy to 11. Well done.
My only statement is that there's clearly a power imbalance going on. Shining light on that isn't a bad thing.
The pose was copied from Dresden Venus. Where it's much more obvious that she's touching herself. Likely whoever commissioned it requested her to be like that.
Art History courses I've taken seem to gloss over the fact that most famous artwork is commissioned. The patrons of 1000 years ago are the same as the patrons of today. They're down bad and want titties & ass.
Maybe in 1000 years ahegao catgirls will "represent fertility"
Yes I am mercilessly abusing you. My harrassment knows no bounds. You are subject to my will and must continue to engage with me. The badman who disagrees with you on the internet.
My shift ends in 10 minutes. After that I promise not to think of you ever again. You will be safe from me.
You just can't help being pedantic. They're both correct.
The moderator got tired of this platform because it enables people who feel they were slighted to critique their every move. Mod logs don't have to be public. I think it's fine to disagree with that as a moderator. Mod abuse has been caught for decades without it, none of your argument hinged on the public mod logs other than the mastadon post where he shared annoyance that you were bothering him with them. Moderators are free to moderate with the tools and platform they want. He resigned, so fucking what.
He was snarky back at you. Big whoop.
This is an insular 1st world problem you are experiencing. Stemming from a bruised ego. This guy is not manipulative or toxic. You're overreacting.
Looking through your comments you do plenty of "dishing it out". But this is how you react when someone sarcastically replies to you then nukes the thread? You must have paper skin.
No. The facts are not facts because they're opinions. You present your "facts" through the lens of a neutral party, and you are clearly anything but neutral.
You make a claim hoping to get the hivemind on your side. You dump screenshots showing your embarrassing behavior and count on the fact that 60+ people won't even stop to verify or form their own opinion.
The sad part is that you're right. You can say anything and if it aligns with their preconceived narrative, they'll upvote and keep scrolling.
Which is exactly why you bury the lead, because if you said outright from the beginning that it was against you, well then people would be alerted to your inherent bias and actually form their own opinions.
Lemmy is too small and this snafoo is so pointless that I think a community apology would be hilarious.
I think the punishment should fit the crime. Having some weirdo follow your posts around calling you manipulative and toxic for months is just... its too much. It's a linux gaming forum, some social ineptitude is to be expected. Users shouldn't feel entitled to continuously attack a mod who "mod abused" them with the assault equivalent of a light shove.
It's just the most insulated privileged non-problem, my god.
