It's Trans Awareness Week! (Nov 13th -19th)
- Thread starter Kyuuji
- Start date
It doesn't exactly instill much faith in the mod discussion if one is still coming into this thread and talking about "hacking". I want to take mod posting in good faith but as always: not the way to do it.
(EDIT: just saw the image too and: seriously?)
So, regardless of Ketkat's ban, it seems no criticism of those guidelines and how they were posted is going to be listened to either, then? Because this is doubling down on all of that too.

Nice hacking skills ;)oh man my bad. I thought this guy was on staff here
Its important to continue to point out that this community was founded in to be more open on things like the processes. You have an entire community who is now in fear and you choose to say shut up and get back to trans issues. If you arent going to listen to an entire community that what is the point of this site? I love the community here but I'm honestly fucking done if there is no response
oh man my bad. I thought this guy was on staff here
You mods and admins planned this omnishambles with KetKat to teach everybody a... memorable lesson for tomorrow (which is International Transgender Day of Remembrance), right?
In a minute her (fake) ban is going to be lifted and you all + she will appear in a fresh thread to talk about the implitations of trans voices being silenced, or something...? And we'll all have cake.
That's the plan right?
There's no way the optics could be this far off by design. This *has* to all be staged.
/s
And it actually is International Transgender Day of Remembrance now.
Yeah... A day before the day about remembering the fallen victims of transphobic we are having to fight for transparency due to a pillar of our community being shadily banned for speaking up in a thread about the administration's handling of transphobic for the last several months.

I imagine they want to just lock the thread but then they also want to contain all of the shit they dont want seen in here
Fwiw, ERA staff, this is what a receipt looks like.oh man my bad. I thought this guy was on staff here
Discussing if they can buy us into silence by making the era logo rainbow for the rest of the month
Probably with some post about, "This isn't about trans issues anymore!", Which really means "These aren't the trans issues we want you to be talking about!" Maybe a fresh set of bans for "hacking".
The Era Discords are generally supportive, if that helps! I know it's hard to find a good, trans-inclusive space, but I haven't seen one that's been transphobic.
Unless there's a quick reversal of course and accountability to be had, I think I'm done with this forum, at this point. The administration has demonstrated no willingness beyond empty lip service to improve... any... aspect. These problems have been top-down since the forum's launch.
Royalan, perhaps you should take notes: as gay people we have to stand in solidarity with all members of the umbrella, or else it doesn't function. Dismissing or measuring against others' oppression makes it clear you're in the repugnant "fuck you, got mine" camp of gay man-children clutching at their tenuous privilege.

I'll be shocked if this thread isn't locked by tomorrow with no improvement for anything. They can't fix this for the same reason the problem was caused in the first place. They can't see beyond themselves. Any perceived slight against them gets far more precedence than anything else.
I don't think there's active transphobia or acephobia, but it's still bigotry if you're called out for an hurtful action on good faith and your response is the biggest "fuck you" you can exercise. Putting your own ego above any concern of others is where a lot of bigotry comes from, and I believe that's what's happening here.

Honestly, I'm glad that I was able to make a Discord for all the people I met here, because there's a lot of good friends I've gathered.
It's the same exact thing that happened with a bunch of the left youtubers who are more concerned with defending their friends than being allies
Yup. This is Contrapoints all over again. But at least there's none of the sting of realizing Lindsay Ellis is a hypocritical scumbag.
What an absolutely horrendous look this is for the mod team my goodness. Absolutely inexcusable
To make matters more wild, the content and moderator Ketkat was referencing was not Royalan.
I'd rather not get my account banned but that's the first time I or Ketkat have seen that post but I think that's important information to dessect which is why I'm putting myself on the line.

Why am I not surprised
With so many people the chances of any accountability are extremely low.
Honestly this doesn't surprise me after everything that's come out today. Just another thing to add to the list.
Man this shit is just getting even worse. Of course it is. Also thanks for sharing this, even at the risk of a possible ban.
Narrator: It had everything to do with the fear of being outed as a secret acephobe.
oh man my bad. I thought this guy was on staff here
So the mods lock/delete threads about trans issues, and then have someone on staff that straight up denies me a place under the queer umbrella?
So inclusive, I feel so welcome here.
