They deserve the harshest punishment available.  But it's also bad they get it?  And also why is nobody standing up for them?

They tried to start something with that comment and no one took the bait. Good. Now if more would just do that when arranged marriage man and incelchief (and Kyuuji and the whole brigade) tried it, well, nothing would change. But seeing those two ignored and talked around would be delicious.

This right here. Ban needs to be undone ASAP. These serious political threads can't expected to have any real discourse if no one wants to participate for fear of catching a ban.

It is absolutely why I avoid these sorts of threads almost 99.9% of the time now.

It's not that I don't have anything to contribute; it's that I'm afraid to contribute. Not sure that's the culture we want to have here, but for some thread types it absolutely is. I'd rather enjoy the forum and my mental health, so I almost never even click on serious threads anymore.

If they'd like their concerns to be addressed they should probably take them to the Constructive Feedback thread, which should not, however, be used for ban litigation.

Nothing will happen from this, right?

Posts like this should be bannable. It adds nothing to the discussion besides normalizing corruption. And it’s in every thread, every time.

You want to execute someone’s account because they expressed cynicism about American justice? Are you for real?

No, nevermind, that’s a rhetorical question. You don’t have to answer.

It’s the drive-by, shitposting nature of people tripping over themselves to get the first “nothing will happen” post in every one of these threads that is exhausting. It’s like the political version “this would be perfect for Switch”. Didn’t mean to single out this individual poster - just lost my cool - and yes a ban would be dramatic lol.

It is absolutely fine to criticize the Israeli government, the IDF, and the ADL. A few members' posts above mentioned the issues with the post and why stating the ADL is an arm of the government can be seen as an antisemitic dog whistle for a variety of reasons. On the one hand, it's perpetuating the notion that there is a Jewish cabal controlling international organizations the world over, and on the other hand it is also accusing those in the ADL of having dual loyalties which is in and of itself a common antisemitic trope.

As far as the duration, 2 weeks in the bare minimum for these types of infractions. RustyNails is more than welcome to file an appeal but this thread is becoming derailed and is not the place for it. The thread is about Amnesty International's report and any discussion attempting to relitigate the ban will be actioned.

No matter how diverse and interesting you try to make it, on some level D&D will always be a game written by an aggressively conservative old white man about going to exotic locals to kill people and take their stuff. If you try to put in the work, you're still going to make mistakes and fall into awful stuff inherent in the premise.

People should just play different games. Try Lancer, we've got a post-capitalist, nearly post-scarcity spacefaring society battling its own horrific past in addition to some otherworldly horrors, in giant robots.

CR is in a tough spot. If it had started as a business first, they could have solved a lot of problems with regards to representation. However, it's origin is from a home game that they played for one of the cast's birthday. They played at home for years before Felicia Day heard about it and came up with the idea to stream it on twitch. Then it blew up in popularity. A big part of the reason why it works is because they're all friends and they bounce off each other super well. If you replace the players it loses some of the magic. The most recent season that's discussed in the article, one of the players wanted to sit out for a couple weeks when it started and people were freaking out.

It's a surprisingly complex knot to untangle.

I normally don't go out of my way to invoke Orayn here (he's a good dude even if cynical to a fault) but "going to exotic locales to kill people and take their stuff" is not what the original rules for D&D are structured around. There wasn't much in the way of "exoticism" in D&D 1.0 and AD&D, it was a lot of "Tolkenism" (no not Tokenism Benji), grand adventure by group of misfits with different skills. I know Orayn knows this so he's just being hyperbolic in order to raise his profile.

There are some inherently tasteless things to criticize in Gary's original idea, but this aint it.

I'll be straight up, as the designated NBA mod I'm down to let conversations happen, but this questioning mental illness stuff is crossing the line and it's about to get spooky in here.

If you are showing your ass on how uneducated you are when it comes to mental health, I'm pretty much not giving any more passes beyond this post right here. Just fall back and talk basketball from now on or continue on and find out what breaking the site's TOS means. Enough is enough.

I can't believe we're even having this "I call bullshit" level discussion with a guy who literally has never been able to shoot jump shots in public.

User Banned (3 Days): Insensitive commentary around mental illness

Meh. Ben’s a poor role model, bad for the sport and bad for the players association.

Defend the guy all you want. I’m not. I’m not going to defend a jerk that is pissing away his gifts because his head coach and co-star were big meanies after he played like shit.

Gonna say the same thing in here I did in the NBA OT. The rhetoric being used in the questioning of Ben Simmons's mental health has crossed a line, so we're done with that line of discussion entirely.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissing concerns about mental illness, Ignoring mod post

My main takeaway in all this is that Daryl Morey was right to hold-off trading Ben and wait up until the deadline for a good offer. Smart move.

Also, i still find "Ben Simmons has mental illness" suspicious AF given the timeline and details of his actions. You even have Rich Paul trying to headoff doctors with their mental health diagnosis on Ben. ". . . . . How can a doctor, who has only met with Ben once, say, 'Ben is mentally ready to play?'" Sit down, you clown and let the specialists do their jobs. These medical professionals would have a better diagnosis of your ailments in a day than your immediate family and friends in a lifetime.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissing concerns about mental illness, Ignoring mod post

I think the disconnect is tying pretty generic “he’s in his head” or “he’s soft” to whatever anxiety/depression/mental health issues that are bad enough to ask to be traded away from a team and not playing basketball. I’m an Alabama and Atlanta Falcons fan and whenever Calvin Ridley stepped away due to mental health issues I was all for it.

Mental health is an absurdly broad term that encompasses super common/basic anxiety that most everybody has to crippling anxiety, depression, or other extreme mental health issues that make it difficult or impossible to function in society.

When I look at the timeline of events, I see Simmons wanting out of Philly and it wasn’t until they started fining him for not playing (after seemingly not being super engaged in the pre-season when he was there) and then not really responding to Philly trying to help him within the organization. In fact his family started to criticize Philly for putting pressure on him because of his mental health.

So like, yeah, there’s always been some amount of mental weakness there and I can see how that wears on somebody. That doesn’t mean his mental issues are mutually exclusive with him using it to justify not playing and forcing his way out.

At the end of the day I just see the timing and the result to be too convenient.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissing concerns about mental illness, Ignoring mod post

F*** Ben Simmons for the mental illness bs, people wonder why there is a stigma with this. You cant make a mockery of it, he just used it as an excuse. For that reason, I hope the Nets flounder the rest of the season. I want a Nets vs 76ers playoff series where the sixers destroy them.

I don't see what's the point in discussing whether "he's having mental issues"

Nah keep doing it. Free vacations available today.

So we invaded a country on flimsy pretenses, yoked them around for about 20 years, refused to beef up their resistance movements and infrastructure, left, watched as the underfunded resistance was wiped by the Taliban within days, and are now holding the country's money hostage as the victims starve?

Marrec was born and raised in a town named Rochester. He'd always been a bit of an outsider, a transphobe, and a racist. But he'd never really cared. Until he met a girl named Jessica, who changed his life. She showed him that he could be himself, that he could be beautiful, and that he could be loved. From then on, Marrec knew that he had to be a better person. He had to come to terms with his transphobia and his racism. He had to learn to love himself and to love others.

We also turned them into a thoroughly aid dependent state and then pulled all of said aid. What we're doing to them now is sortve like what the Brits did to Ireland during the potato famines, colonial genocide.

Thoroughly evil.

Because Afghanistan was such a successful state before two decades of direct US involvement.

I won't comment in detail on the Ireland point since I'm not any kind of expert on UK history but I don't think it's exactly right either.
