The first two were not brought to my attention until somewhat recently (@CurrySenpai posted them on Discord on 6/8, which I could not post here at the time because I was at work), and while the third one was quite some time ago, I figured a single instance wouldn't really be enough for a report on its own, so I just blocked him and left it at that. Of course, now that this is a pattern of behavior, there's no doubt that he ought to be banned.
I genuinely have no idea, sounds like she wants to downgrade a verse I like and make sure I am not in to interfere or something.
One says 12/02/2023, but ok.
Which, you know, it was mostly just an edgy joke which was brushed off immediately.
Just saying, it was in 2023, but it's still a difference of 6 months. We ain't in the future
Oh, was it MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY? I made it so long ago I don't even remember lol.
One of the screenshots was 05/23/2024 so I'd assume MM/DD/YYYY
12/02/2023 was 6 months ago, my man.
Our rules have been revised and argued to be applicable to anything sufficiently problematic offsite. This extends to any behavior that can be presented as causing undue distress in other site users, even if performed offsite. Past applications of this have been shady, in my reckoning, but this one is markedly less so.
I make edgy stuff kinda regularly, I was never serious once about them but whatever.
As I said, I never did anything against Fuji or anyone else off just transphobia. I was even interacting with her normally both here and off-site until she suddenly blocked me. I never had anything serious against her, she's doing this all by herself.
I read it as 12 February 2023, while we're in 10 June 2024.
I do not comprehend why is a ban even necessary.
Dereck03 mentioned in private to me that he does not like to be disrespected in this manner.
Well, if you did not say anything offensive to her personally, or disparage her in a public server, those are obviously severely mitigating circumstances.
If Dereck did feel disrespected then sure. From your original post it sounded like someone else outside of Dereck reported her, I'll mind my business then.
No problem at all. Thank you for your feedback.
I never had anything against her, much less for gender identity, nor have made some attempts of truly humilating her in other places (because I know what it feels like to be ridiculed constantly over the smallest stuff, but that would go too personal), as I wouldn't gain anything from it either.
Please consider the circumstances by which you've linked the two reports here. As someone who identifies openly as trans, I think it's remiss to compare blatant, closeted transphobia the same as calling someone an asshole on an open forum. Whether intent was there or no, the choice of words are poor here-- because this comes off as an evolved stance.
You literally went out of your way to single her out and misgender her, that is blatant transphobia and the definition of singling her out.
What?
You weren't in that server then. Edgy stuff like that is the norm there (and I cannot really screenshot anything because I've left it months ago).
Well, that'd depend on what is being said.
I’m gonna give what should be some obvious advice, but just because you exist in a place with “edgy” humor does not mean what you are saying is okay. The fact that you openly admit that and wish to grab screenshots worries me that there is even more stuff like that.
If your first thought is to use the “I’m being censored because the wiki is the woke moral police!” card then I think that goes to show there’s no real defense for what you said. I know it’ll make me more comfortable knowing that someone who makes transphobic comments is gone, even if it wasn’t on forum.
Dude, this is the worst thing you could have said, you actually just self reported an entire server. I guess thank you for bringing it to my attention that there is a server that thinks making bigoted comments such as this funny, guess I’ll have to pay attention to the RVR thread a bit more.
I talk about stuff like **** jokes, as an example.
I mean, as I said I left the place as it was becoming too much for me too at a certain point. But nothing was actually serious, obviously.
Deidalius got unironically reported off similar jokes from Fuji, despite those being jokes as well.
I explicitly stated that I do not consider the two cases equivalent in the post that you quoted from me.
For the record I did not say anyone was saying "bigoted comments" nor was it okay. I was calling discord edgy and definitely contains dark humour not fit for the wiki, but sure go ahead dig up the past and cancel everyone. That will save the world hooray!
"slander her".
I agree that was a very strange comparison and shouldn’t have been brought up at all.
Let me be blunt here: All of my interactions with people on here are predicated on them not being bigoted pieces of shit. Once someone outs themselves in that regard by revealing that they do not think my identity is real or worth respecting, then I block them and get them the hell out of my life. Did it with Shmooply, did it with Deidalius, and I did it with you. You do not get a pass just because we happened to speak slightly more frequently.
Okay. Good. Let the banning spree begin, then.
That was a joke. The context was that Dereck has a profile on the Joke Battles Wiki, which directly mentions me in several places (I do not take offense to these mentions, to be clear). Since the topic of making a JBW profile for me was brought up, I decided to mention that profile as an example of someone I could "fight" if such a profile was made, saying I would "put him in his place" as a joke regarding the nature of his profile's references to me (which indicate that I had "lost" to Dereck, in a joking fashion).
Misgendering trans people is transphobia, Strym. You can try to dance around this issue with your "not serious + dark humor + Wokeism Bad" shtick, but it will not change the fact that the things you have said are textbook examples of transphobia.
As someone who has faced traumatizing degrees of violence IRL for their neurodivergence, I'm disgusted by the fact that you think it's appropriate to try and scale bigotry like this. We should not allow ableism, nor should we allow transphobia; The alternative to this is fostering a community frequented only by spiteful bigots, or a community where everyone hates each other.
This is not helping your case.
I find this odd, because if I recall correctly, another member reached out to me to ask why you were blocked, and then relayed the reason back to you. So you knew why you were blocked, and could have clarified that it was a "joke", but chose not to. You're only pulling the "dark humor" card now that there are actual consequences for your bigotry.
I mean, sure? Doesn't mean that I treated you lowly nor even insulted you once. I genuinely used to see you as a good company as well, but now you're betraying me and even trying to get me banned despite all of before.
This does not mean I was harassing, targetting or whatever else doing anything to you. A thing would be if I did personally stuff against you off transphobic beliefs, but it was just a single event that was only once, lol.
Wanna know the only reason why? I'll be really frank about this, I was simply scared. Not only I didn't know how else to actually reach you, but even if I sent DMs in other social media with an apology, I believed you'd simply block me even there.
