Era reaction that Johnny Depp is right at all costs seems like it comes from compensation for originally thinking he was the bad one.  Now they have to over correct and make sure everyone knows they've repented or always thought he was innocent.

Can't make fun of Mitch Mcconnell, the devil incarnate without getting banned? What's happening over there?

Wish for his death and/or suffering and hope that it may spread to others, but don't you dare be ableist or ageist, chud.

[Jansen]

It's not about Mitch. It's about "Haha old people shit their pants" and other insults that can be hurtful to disabled people. Era's older and infirm members deserve to be able to participate with their dignity and humanity intact without having to see their daily struggles be turned into insult fodder. I don't want people to be banned for it, but I do think people should care more about the members of their community that see what they post

For Rabess, the experience was brutal. "As an artist, you're prepared for people to not resonate with the work," she said. "But I think it feels different when people decide that you yourself are problematic, or you yourself are causing harm, or whatever language they use to describe it. It feels a little bit surreal." The backlash might have flourished on Goodreads, but it soon escaped to the wider internet. Rabess, who is Black, received angry direct messages and emails, as well as abusive comments under any social-media posts she made. "They said nasty things about me, about my children. Called me coon, other really unpleasant slurs. Told me that I'd be better off dead."

Her son committed suicide early last year and it absolutely destroyed her and reignited a lot of mental health issues she'd struggled with her whole life.

please don't say committed suicide, died by suicide is the way to phrase it.

Denying the agency of the person's final act is very cool.

Yeah? Well if Poly relationships aren't real and healthy, how do you explain all the wanking i'm doing on webcam?

Don’t get the poly thing. Just embrace traditional swinging.

Are ree actually trying to make suicide seem like it's something that just happens to people. That they don't actively choose to kill themselves?

Bad things only happen because of the systemic forces exploited by the chuds. Most people have no agency they are simply swept up by the algorithms of life, only a select enlightened few are able to rise above these, see the entire plan and become prominent members or staff.

[HardcoreRetro]

I'd rather read: "died by unalived herself in Minecraft."

[benji]

Please don't make jokes or debate the ethics regarding suicide and the proper ways of phrasing it. The Bire's members who have headmates that have self-unalived by self-unaliving deserve to be able to participate with their dignity and humanity intact without having to see their daily struggles be turned into insult fodder. I don't want people to be banned for it, but I do think people should care more about the members of their community that see what they post

Volimar (former moderator):

Well first I think it's a different thing when an able bodied person loses control of their bowels once and someone who struggles with control issues daily.

Second, when I saw some of those posts I reported one and asked for a staff post to just ask people to be considerate of their disabled and older members instead of making those insult jokes that can really make a sufferer feel terrible about something that is a really bad hit to their quality of life. I didn't want anyone banned, I just want people to give a thought to people before making cruel remarks on a forum that tends to heavily punish people who lean into demeaning stereotypes. I still think a staff post was the way to go.

Mitch can burn in Hell, but he's not the one reading this stuff. As far as the other posts go, I'm guessing nothing happened to them because they weren't reported so the staff doesn't know about them.

Basically, even former mods can get people banned if they personally get their feefees hurt. In this case because they regularly shit themselves.

Banned: Attempted to circumvent ban with alt account

Couldn't even take a 1 month ban. Had to get back into Ree ASAP. Like, half the damn users there have alts at the ready, it seems. Sad to see people in their 30s and 40s acting this way.

If they didn't have projection of themselves onto others would they have any theory of mind at all?

I'll have to use one of our collectively operated troll alts to pose the question to them.

Yes, they have to make suicide seem like its an unavoidable result for some people, otherwise how can the genocide happen.

Needs that Shaq meme:

Wishing a graphic slow and agonizing death on your enemy: I sleep

Implying they pooped themselves: Real shit

I hope nobody makes a thread with a poll asking how many "older and infirmed" members shit themselves, the harm to the community might be too great.

"died by suicide" sounds like possibly someone else was committing suicide and you just got caught up in it, like they were jumping off a bridge but a hooligan had tied your shoelaces to theirs
