The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of “left solidarity”

          At no point have I defended ableism or transphobia. In fact, as a trans woman with mental disabilities, I’m actually offended that you’re trying to use my struggles to try and smear anyone who disagrees with you. Especially considering you’re advocating for regimes that were/are terrible to queer people and/or disabled people.

            Ok but the context is that your blahaj’s mod team is really pathetic, they let disgusting transphobic chasers make dehumanizing comments without repercussions, let instances of ableist language go unpunished (one of the mods apparently is an ableist piece of shit), and are fine with racist white supremacist comments. This creates a really awful environment for the userbase, I’m sure you’d agree.

            In response to this, you bascially silence the criticism (“Shut up tankie”) because “muh tankies” are the ones who are pointing this out.

            In effect, such a statement is apologia for the mod team’s allowance of bigotry (ableism, racism and transphobia) using whataboutery.

            I acknowledge the awful struggles that trans people have to go through in this shithole capitalist world, and thus see it as imperative that bigotry is not tolerated so that at least there is some relief from such barbarism in the cyber realm.

            Especially considering you’re advocating for regimes that were/are terrible to queer people and/or disabled people.

            Sorry thats wrong, I hate NATO m8.

                ok but you can look at the ableism, racism, and transphobic comments on this instance and come to this conclusion as well without our input, many users of blahaj.zone aren’t happy with their mod team’s bigotry apologia too

                also please dont call me a genocide denier, I hate NATO and dont support its existence

                  I never said I supported anything distasteful the mod team did. I disapprove of their actions but they are the lesser evil here.

                  also please dont call me a genocide denier

                  So we can agree the Holodomor happened and the Ugyhur Genocide is still happening?

                    but they are the lesser evil here

                    so transphobes, chasers, white supremacists, and ableists are the lesser evil compared to who exactly?

                    the Holodomor

                    The great Ukranian famine happened but it wasn’t a deliberate genocide against the Ukranian people, it was a fuckup of the state, it is Nazi apologia to use the term “Holodomor” and equivocate a lethal administrative failure to a deliberate, explicit state effort to destroy the Jewish people.

                    Ugyhur Genocide is still happening

                    Again, despite the fact that there is no denying there have been numerous human rights violations in Xinjiang, the scale and intentionality have been demonstrably overblown by murdoch media, the american state department, and Adrian Zenz (right wing christian anticommunist nutjob) because they want to manufacture consent to fuck up the region even more so they can get Xinjiang’s oil.
