Hey LittleMissMurder

I've locked this thread as nothing constructive is coming out of it (nor will, because the original post is a rant). However I can't but agree with you - that's why the moderation team takes action against homophobic and/or transphobic slurs and behaviors (and that's why it's part of the rules).
I've seen the events on aeolus that led to this post - one of us didn't acknowledge full context before taking a decision and therefore was wronged. Gorton noticed it and brought it up in the moderators channel, so this is currently in discussion and you don't have to worry.

Please take the time to report directly to us if you encounter any kind of toxic or homophobic/transphobic/discriminatory behavior against you or someone else. We'll be glad to get right on it and do what needs to be done.

Have a nice day

(P.S. : i don't think biass is a moderator? the current moderator list is - PhilipJFry, Laticlave, Giebmasse, Resistance, Louvegarde, Gorton - and for IRC mods - Apofenas, Viking, WhiteKnight - and I may have missed a few but that's about it)

You're not a complete bell-end after all. Unless it was lavender scented. That gets you disowned faster than growing boobs at 40.

Biass, kindly remind me why you're a moderator again?

Funny thing is, English isn't even my first language. But hey, it sure makes for a refreshing change when people highlight my vocabulary instead of my gender. You go, girl.

Homophobic wankers and other assorted oxygen thieves

2019-11-08T06:33:27+02:00

Right.

It's an "open secret" that I'm trans, and apart from the fact that certain individuals seem to have a creepy fascination with it and like to point it out every chance they get even though it's none of their business, I'd like to talk about the general behaviour on Aeolus.

It pains me to have to point out, in this day and age, that being a homophobe/transphobe/racist/ places you in a particularly pathetic little backwater of society. And I say "society" with reservation, since society is made up of humans, and you need to be human to begin with to qualify.

You might think that it's cute to act like an immature homophobic idiot when you have audience on Aeolus; well, all it shows it that you have a lot of growing up to do and that your parents did an absolutely shocking job. I wonder whether you'd have the courage to say the things you do, face-to-face. Hell, I don't even wonder, I know you won't. You're a predictable coward, hiding behind your keyboard like every other little twat through the years who has spouted hate on the internet. See, here's the thing. Each member of LGBTQ community, each and every one of us, has more bravery and courage in our little finger than you'll ever cultivate in your entire lifetime of drooling beatitude.

It gets tiresome to constantly fight against casual statements like "X is gay" or "Y is a faggot for Ctl-K". If you can't understand why it's harmful, then rather just shut your trap.

And yes, this thread is gay. A most excellent state of being. It would be nice if the moderation team would be more proactive in this regard, but unfortunately it seems to be a bit of a dirty subject. It takes courage and empathy and insight to stand up for others as well and my sincere hope is that the moderation team is prepared to do something other than ask for reports. The problem is pervasive and you aren't helping by reducing it into individual instances.

As for you - and you know who you are - you are ruining the community for others. Kindly piss off until you've grown some pubes and put some life experience under your belt.

That is all.
Rhianne
