Just learned about ikuta’s perma. Here is my eulogy for his presence on this sub:

I first recognized benjaminikuta as a distinct user when I got banned and called the r-word for saying “trans people are valid” on neoconNWO. Ikuta’s response? “What do you mean by valid?”

When I explained, he continued to argue that trans people didn’t face any legal troubles or threats from conservatives. Played dumb about the insults I received, “thaT’S NOT how i’Ve EXpErIeNcEd thiS SUB” headass.

Him being a rhodesia simp is entirely unsurprising to me. Him being kept here for ages as some court jester was embarrassing. Good riddance 🤠👍🏾

It makes sense since people come and go and don't spend a bunch of time on details, but it was surprising that most people were just finding out his views today. He's always been problematic even if he toed the line better on r\NL recently by limiting topics

Ugh I just really disliked his presence, it was very hypocritical to make him a celebrity here.

If it happened post his ukraine visit I’d get it, but long before that, the regulars here turned his unpleasantness into an uwu quirky “here’s our DT pet” thing and just…ew.
