          I’m trying to be fair mod and not too authoritarian while being committed to making this a welcoming and an enjoyable community for everyone. It’s a hard balancing act tbh, but I think the one-warning-then-you’re-banned rule is a reasonable middle ground. Tonight/tomorrow I’ll make a sticky post asking for additional mods and asking for feedback on the rules and how this community should be run so everyone can have a say. Please comment on that post, I am willing to listen to everyone and change the rules of it’s what the majority want.

      Obviously, yes. Especially when you are a member of a dominant ethnic group, cosplaying at being “other” when you will never be involuntarily othered, and explaining your (entirely illegitimate) choice via racial stereotyping.

      It is absolutely not the same as identifying as gay or trans or whatever other besieged minorities you are slyly pouring scorn on. People don’t choose to get fucked over for who they are regardless of what they do. They are who they are and they’re surrounded by desperately insecure fuckwits who can only make themselves feel better by making the lives of others worse.

        I refuse to let people’s insecurities prevent me from being myself. All who oppose me shall know the apocalyptic hellstorm of my wrath. Those who would disparage me are the evil ones, and will always be. My enemy must be ripped from this world. I am what I know to be, and any who would doubt this doubt a true individual.

      You know your One Joke doesn’t get any more original if you swap out the attack helicopter, right?

      Your account is fucking wierd. Like I want to say you’re a troll, but it seems like you’re just a narcissistic arsehole.
