    I was threatened with a ban because I commented on a Harry Potter book being burned, saying that it was ironic that crazy Fundamentalists (who believe magic is real and evil) and people who don’t support TERF assholes somehow share this one, random cause.

    The reason for the removal and the threat of a ban was something to the extent of “Hurr-Durr, mah both sides” which… oh, my head, the bad reading comprehension there.

    It was not on any LGBTQ+ or trans specific instance, either. It was, like, memes (edit: it was 196).

    Point is, there’s dumb people who want to abuse power everywhere, in every group, and always will be. Even the best causes and best groups. Especially in the worst causes and worst groups, though. I’M NOT BOTH-SIDES-ING, DON’T BAN ME.

      The lead moderator of 196 Moss is a Hamas apologist and authoritarian turd. I was banned because I said fuck Hamas fuck the IDF. Both of the governments freely use the civilian population as currency in their political games. Apparently pointing out that the Palestinians are getting double -fisted is a No-No when one of the fists is Hamas.
