gendered slurs are not childish language.

Weâre really gonna relitigate this â â â â thing again, arenât we
Do you know what the words âshortâ and âbtcâ mean there?
well hopefully wookie will perma ban anyone who uses them. personally i view right wing nationalist lingo such as tankie a lot more harmful.
but yeah, as @hokie said, itâs beautiful to see that all these months after we came a full circle.
Nah I think weâre now talking about me giving Official Financial Advice to these goddamn fucking pussies.
Tbf it was âshort btc stop being a goddamn fucking pussyâ.
Wait no srsly, can we all pause an unpack Trolly calling my OFA âzero contentâ, like, ignoring 2/3 of the words in the phrase âshort btc pussyâ?
Thatâs so surreal, like, I canât even think of an equivalent. Maybe if I went to a Spanish or French speaking forum and started opining far and wide about their moderation.
lol âoutburst?â apologize for what? I owe some deference to him for his status as a do-nothing mod (except in the case someone takes a passive shot at one of his buds of course then we get a stern warning)? okay
I dunno but these are the two questions you shouldâve asked him instead of whatever that was you posted.
holy shit weâre just going to let this go?
Of course you do. You feel harmed by it. So you flag it, or you at least donât think a flag for it is âsillyâ. How would you feel if a mod told you that the flag is silly and you shouldnât take it personally and maybe just deal with it?

Itâs a fairly accurate telling of forum history. Whatâs the problem?
Iâd feel just fine. I also did not act on any of the numerous times Tankie was used. You see personally i donât think anything that offends me should be handled by authority. I reserve that for what i consider extreme cases.
That being said, mods here have very literally said tankie isnât a big deal. So you know, what?
Why did you cut a thoughtful answer i gave you in which i asked you not to have the conversation in that fashion? I donât think iâve ever talked to you that way. In fact my biggest pm fight here was when i defended you in a thread about soldiers vs citizens.
well, if you had bothered to read my post above, you would know that I am constantly having to check myself because the military fucked with my perception of sexual harassment and gender issues, and guess whatâŚit still is!
So instead of the temptation to say âsuck it up, cupcake,â I am still dealing with teaching myself how that reaction is NOT healthy, itâs NOT appropriate, and itâs highly insensitive.
Excuse the fuck out of me for learning and trying to be better.
Lies
We can go to the tape.
âShut the fuck up, tankieâ also seems like the kind of zero-content shit flinging that the moderators should discourage.
Please do.
I am saying that by labeling a reaction to one type of slur as âsillyâ or childish, and other types as not, you are devaluing the target(s) of that particular type of slur.
Honestly, it really disappoints me that people on this supposedly left-leaning forum think that gendered insults are A-OK fine. We really havenât gotten very far, have we?

Iâm not weighing in on the thoughts and feelings and motivations behind the things, but the things follow a pretty simple chronology.
oops i guess we are!
