Ok but what about the original mod that this was actually about? Lol

[KarpalaJoe]

who TF made that?

Doesn't matter. It's probably the best thing to get out of this drama. Glorious meme. Excelblabla must be on fire right now. 

When you make a meme that even The Bore find borderline, you hit something.

There’s lots of reasons to make fun of Excel. Being trans shouldn’t be one.

When someone use his status, be it trans, gay or anything else, to shield themselves from anything and behave like a dick, I think it's fair-game.

Excelsirlief whole life revolve around reminding people that they're a trans and that grant them some rights to behave like they do. You must hit where it hurts the most and there's no denying that this meme must hurt really bad.

Royalan is a hypocritical bitch but he didn’t deserve that vilification. What a shame.

Sweet Nicole now apologzing to Royalan 

I respect you so much Royalan. I'm sorry for all that has happened, and I hope you're going to be OK, even if you're not ok right now.

I will always remember when you, internally, raised how we can be doing more for these communities, and how we should be handling things going forward. It was a great thing that helped us improve our processes and decision making a lot in the early days.

Thanks for all you've done. If you're ever in Chicago, feel free to hit me up. Drinks are on me.

Disagreed on one aspect of the cause he shared with them so he was cast out like the leper he is 

There's much more to unpack with this move but that involves care posting and I'll be damned if I do for a site I can't and don't want to post on anymore

[shosta]

"She". Thanks.

That's why I've been denied to get past the "Junior member" status. Mods don't like me.

Only a kiwifarms loser would think that pretending to be a woman on the internet is the easy street to respect

[Raist]

Surely, Royalan's apology is something not enough something something empty something, right? Right?

[HaughtyFrank]

I'm reminded of the "wrecking bathrooms" analogy. They have little power in real life so they relish using it against the people who actually listen to them, only hurting their interests in the end.

[HaughtyFrank]

I'm not calling anyone out, but I feel that the apology rings rather hollow. I appreciate that action is being done, but there's still many lingering questions.

1. Did royalan's acephobia factor into any moderation decisions, such as Xaszatm's thread closure?
2. Is royalan still acephobic?
3. If so, does he have a willingness or desire to address his irrational biases?
4. If not, how have his views evolved?

I don't really feel comfortable that the actual things royalan had said, he hadn't actually acknowledged them. While he no longer has moderator power, he definitely has pull and people who respect him, and I think there's valid concern there still.

It was the Surreal Life.. he was a total creep, here's a blurb I found:

http://www.zimbio.com/Douchiest+90s+Sitcom+Stars/articles/6/Top+5+Douchiest+90s+Sitcom+Stars

Appeared On: Perfect Strangers (1986-1993)
Character: Balki Bartokomous
Douchebag Credentials: Perfect Strangers was primarily a vehicle for Bronson Pinchot to rip off Andy Kaufman's vastly funnier and vastly more interesting Latka Gravas from Taxi. As Balki, there was rarely a scene that Pinchot didn't manage to chew his way through. His life after Perfect Strangers is Douchebaggery 101. Pinchot appeared on the fifth season of VH1's The Surreal Life, where he slowly creeped out every single female cast member by being a pathetic old lech. His groping hug of Janice Dickinson was so over-the-line that she nearly quit the show on the spot, later saying, "I don't like this guy. This guy is a gimp motherfucker." Pinchot, for his part, told the cameras, "I believed in my heart Janice and I will hook up somehow."

 "I believed in my heart Janice and I will hook up somehow."

So, just spitballing here, but how about this as an idea for complaints about moderation decisions:
I think we can all agree that responding to piles and piles of complaints about bans and moderation where >50% of them will just be shit explaining away bigotry and the like would be soul crushing. And that a completely open complaint forum would likely be a cluster fuck. The site also likely makes a positive amount of income.

How about hiring someone to screen the complaints for mod review, and hotly contested moderation decisions are posted to a mod-only publicly viewed forum. Responses to those posts could go through the screening process.

I dunno just a random idea.

transparency, but also I don't want to see it, because I might be triggered by people defending themselves

Their insistence on not having sexual feelings for others and not really bothering anyone is disgusting and makes me want to vomit.

[shosta]

Also, obviously, transparency is a must. Meta commentary on moderation cannot be a taboo subject anymore, as having it be so is explicitly anti-transparency, especially given how many people have been frustrated by how difficult it can be to get information from moderators in private.

You know, I don't really give a shit one way or the other about asexuality. I was wondering why that is. I think it is something to do with them not doing something as opposed to doing something. When you think about it, most sexual orientations are defined by your action where as asexuality is defined by your inaction.
