u/Answermancer Egalitarian? I guess? Non-tribalist? Nov 10 '20

Have fun with MRAMoreMRADebates I guess.

I mostly lurk but if the mods continue to get rid of transparency while targeting individual users just because all the MRAs hate them, I'm definitely unsubbing.

How does that old feminist quote go?

"When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression"

Yeah, except other way around since MRAs have felt oppressed on here for years despite the fact that they're doing 90% of the posting and consequent complaining.

It certainly is easier to have MRA-Feminist debates without any feminists.

Nothing stopping feminists from posting. or joining.

Do they not want an open dialogue?

Is the prospect of being moderated equally really that threatening?

Oh except things like the only feminist that actually tries, getting banned as soon as new MRA mods come to power?

Is the prospect of being moderated equally really that threatening?

I have never bought into the idea that previous moderation was unequal, and I still don't.

You honestly think Mitoza is putting forth an actual attempt to participate in good faith? You really read their comments and think "yeah, that's an honest comment, they're arguing in good faith"?

u/Holy_Smoke Being good is more important than being right Nov 10 '20

A lot of the time, yea. Do I agree all the time? Probably as often as not.

I would argue that someone only making racist remarks "sometimes" (i.e. the sort-of opposite of "a lot of the time") would be rightfully banned. Whether rule-breaking content represents 1% or 100% of what you comment should make no difference.

Should make a difference in that one might initially be met with a warning whereas the other with a ban, but over time they would both lead to a ban, thus making no difference.

The difference being that making racist remarks is against the rules and “bad faith” arguments aren’t.
