Not to mention, with statistics like 2/5 officers being *known* domestic abusers, a whole lot more of that bushel should already be visibly rotten.
It got dramatically worse. Entirely as expected.
Unless
@TabletopSim
takes some pretty serious steps to get things back under control--and I honestly don't have any expectation they will--I think this is pretty much it for LGBTQ+ people being accepted or even safe on BG's game.
The comments have only gotten worse overnight, and the thread is still up, and full of all sorts of vile queerphobia, transphobia, and just... pure shit.
I can't stomach digging through the thread again to place reports.
@emmaketchup7
You may be living like Charlie's grandparents.
Me, I'm living like a pupa, slowly changing in obscurity, refining myself. And one day, I'll emerge from the pandemic, transformed into a wonderful, beautiful, terrifying moth!

@bananafitz
I really, really wish more folks in the queer communities I've spent my life in understood aging to be the gift that it is.
Too damn many of us haven't gotten that gift. >.<
This, PLEASE I'm begging other furries to quit using the word degenerate, especially to describe something sexual, *especially* if that sexuality is queer.
@somenuancepls
Hey guess what.
Pretty much *everyone's* body is running on either testosterone or estrogen; if you don't have a sufficient amount of at least one of the two hormones, it's a pretty serious medical condition.
Is *everyone* "on drugs"?
I'm begging LGBTQ+ teens to understand this:
If you're trying to authoritatively dictate what uses of LGBTQ+ labels are "acceptable" or not, ESPECIALLY if you're shoving aside other queer folks trying to explain their own experience.
You're hurting, not helping, the community.
@GP_Tweets1
@bitterbleue
What's real tragic on that one is it's like, 90% of the way toward being a real *good* bit of trans rep.
But then a couple of really, really awful scenes, some of the way the whole thing is presented, and especially the lacking conclusion...
Yeah, it ends up being not great.
@kareninya
@PrestonMitchum
Asexual people face a different kind of discrimination than most of the LGBTQ+ community, but they absolutely belong just as much as every other part.
Hehehehe, so I've FINALLY had it confirmed I was banned from my state's furry chat "Nevada Fur Chat (SFW)" for, quote "toxic behavior" about a year ago, after I had a meltdown at some nazis who joined the chat with pepe/boogaloo pfps and bios like "hateful fascist".
(🧵 follows)
The comments inside those threads get so, so much worse.
Don't go there, it's not worth seeing.
Jesus fucking Christ, these devs are fucked. There's no way to moderate this, at this point.
@Nimokaz
@unicornthorn
I should not be surprised someone following Libsoftiktok sucks this hard, is this cruel and uncaring... but somehow I'm still appalled.
@ryanlpainter

Not quite.
This looks exactly like the kind of propaganda this country *says* socialist and communist countries put out.
But it's propaganda *this* country is putting out.
Projection, eh?
@TheyTypeALot
@Esqueer_
Lived with this my entire childhood.
Fucked me up.
Fucked me up even more when, after I finally DID come out to them at 30 years old, my parents were upset at me for not trusting them and for thinking they wouldn't be approving.
(They weren't actually approving.)
The comments have only gotten worse overnight, and the thread is still up, and full of all sorts of vile queerphobia, transphobia, and just... pure shit.
I can't stomach digging through the thread again to place reports.
Well.
I tried posting a discussion topic.
Somehow, mine ended up getting a lot more heated, hateful responses than the similar threads I've seen today.
My thread is also one of the few that wasn't quickly locked.
Dismaying, to say the least.
@glow_smokey
@chribbyy
Silent? Nah, they've been cheering that murderer on!
It's... depressing, seeing how many people care so little about other people.

@Ratchet_fox
Great. Now me and my girlfriend are talking about ADHD vampires with time loss and lack of friendship degredation, going back to some mortal they met and made friends with like, 50 years ago, and behaving like it's only been a couple weeks.
When antifa--which isn't even an actual organization to begin with, just an ideology with a few groups gathering to support it--is being considered for labeling as a terrorist organization, and any number of white nationalist organizations with actual violent histories aren't?
Well.

Oh.
The thread here with 100+ comments now has one blaming the Jews, with one of the most antisemitic descriptions I've seen in a while.
And of course we have furry hate, because of COURSE things are going there too.

It feels like a lot of the crowd on the right thinks there's like... magic words we use to win an argument, and if they just use those same words surely they can win too, or whatever.

That's more-or-less what I was thinking while watching the pilot.

Everyone seems to assume every other language in the world changed just as much as English did over the centuries, and furthermore assumes nobody can study those languages in their original contexts, eh?
(2/9)
I feel like receipts of what exactly happened are in order, especially since the admins get personally involved and well, we'll get to that in a bit.
It starts off relatively mild, but even at the end of this brief exchange, there were already people pushing back:
@PartTimeDragons
@GreatDragonGame
Sadly, yeah. People loudly stating offensive beliefs and expecting praise or indifference for them are all to common nowadays.
@mikieMILF
@TerraBelleVA
When I told my mother I was changing my own name, I got the response "that I suppose is your decision" in a way that *very* much told me she didn't really approve, but knew she couldn't influence me to change my mind.
@antirobust
The head of the Mormon church is one of the richest multibillionaires on the planet. Of *course* he'll compete with other billionaires over ownership of the same things nobody should have such singular ownership of.
@DrewRoyster
@antirobust
Shockingly enough, yes.
The man's the sole owner of a corporation with over $100b in *investments*, owns roughly 2% of the state of Florida, and has who knows how much value in assets besides.
Posing with a vaccuum in a sparsely-decorated room makes for a good photo op though.
@ConfusedMia1
@hannah__account
... what cis people do you know who use they/them pronouns?
Like, are you setting a minimum bar for "you must be THIS trans to be REALLY ACTUALLY REAL trans" or something?
@femmekyttymusic
I had to fight like hell to even realize being a lesbian was like... something I *could* be, rather than just something that felt right in a way I couldn't describe why.
Like hell I'm letting anyone take that away from me. <3
@sulaviedilejo
@RBReich
I'd have to wager it'd be impossible to find anyone with a net worth over $1b who wasn't some level of robber baron.
Much less the small few up around $100b.

Indeed. On the rare occasion--and it cannot be emphasized enough just how rare it is--an individual officer might actually be a halfway decent person.
But they're still not a "good cop". They're still part of a system that's rotten to its core, still enforcing oppression.
@THECannaMama
@_celia_bedelia_
So, we're just adding "people pooping in pools, kids with non-swim-diapers falling apart around them in the pool" to the list of things terfs are *swearing* are entirely normal in some bizarre attempt to justify their transphobia?
Life gets weirder and weirder every day.
(3/9)
Things took a sour turn VERY quickly once I started actually interacting with the self-identified "hateful fascist" who joined the chat.
Then one of the admins, Kobura Cape, got involved, and... wewf.
I think the only term I can come up with here is "fascist sympathizer":
Yeah, no. My entire personality isn't being trans.
It's just... you cis folk never seem to be able to get past that. So that's all you ever get to see of me.
Get over your fucking selves and maybe you'd get to start seeing trans people as the whole people they are.
@NoGoofin_Arts

Plus, y'know, without anti-crash mods, malicious crash-inducing avs are, I imagine, going to cause even MORE trouble than they do currently.
@skullmutt
You uh...
Have you paid ANY attention to the people who tend to anonymously "track the zoophiles" in the fandom?
Almost every single one of them has turned out to be an open fascist.
Is that who you want to be taking cues from?
@EnchantedMeat
@JoshuaPHilll
I started transition in my fucking 30s.
I'm just as "really trans" as any other trans person.
So what exactly is your point?
(5/9)
A few of the people in this chat know my history of being abused by fascists. They brought it up here as I was getting ready to step away.
The conversation continued to be... well... sympathetic toward the fascists who'd joined.
@alexandrasaurus
I'm extremely grateful this was basically my experience at a local informed-consent gender clinic. I've heard so many horror stories from so many of my friends.
I won't be sharing the responses here. They're full of accusations of perversion and pedophilia, false claims surrounding the recent ban that's caused all this to fire off, suicide bait, open calls for more discrimination against LGBTQ+ people, and so on.
It's depressing.
With how insistent
@cloudflare
is on protecting terrorists like KiwiFarms, I have to start wondering how many people in charge there might like, not be just protecting KF, but actually be KF users themselves; participants in the terrorism, not just protecting.

When a person with a demonstrated history of sexism acts poorly toward a woman, I think it's fair to question whether sexism played a part in their behavior.
@theemilygwen
Thing is, you don't get to tell me whether I'm a lesbian or not. That's a thing *I* know.
And I'll keep calling myself a lesbian. Because I AM one.
The complicated pile of things that make me who I am isn't something other people get to determine for me.
(6/9)
One of the chat's longer-running fascist sympathizers (that's a story for another time) joined in after I stepped away. And the alt-right chuds who'd joined probed the waters.
@amazonmilkfrog
@marlowelune
If people assume in roughly equal parts "mtf trans" and "ftm trans" for me, I've reached I think the best I possibly can get with how people just... generally understand gender, for presentation.
@jellybeansugar
@Bberneri
No, you don't need to completely ruin that first part of your statement with all the rest of the garbage after "Although" there.
Those are intentionally misleading bits of transmisic rhetoric you're willingly repeating there. You'd do well to not.

1838: banking fraud - fled Ohio before trial
1839: treason - escaped custody, fled Missouri before trial
Children, the LGBTQ+ community is a collection of marginalized people collectively supporting one another and fighting for their rights.
Please stop treating it like a TV show fandom.
(8/9)
Then, a chud (Joel Fontane) who's caused me grief in not just this one, but THREE state chats decided to step in, and be all buddy-buddy with the admins and all pooh-pooh at me:
@AmandaMontagne
@FoldableHuman
@Nash076
From what I understand, it's... virtual dog-fighting? With non-fungible tokens of wolves, where the whole damn thing is also explicitly an mlm.
Fucking Costco pharmacist technician today: "Our pharmacist noted that this medication you're picking up (progesterone) is usually only for women."
Maybe fucking check the estradiol and spironolactone being prescribed next to it and put 2 and 2 together.
@SacchiHikaru
@BVDGRRL
Ahah, fun.
And... yeah, the "trans women are predators toward women for depicting themselves as women" aspect of... that all... feels real damn similar in ways to "nsfw feral supporters are predators toward animals for depicting themselves as animal-like".

@holyterrainbri
Yes, it's a song by Wiz Khalifa, I understand that.
I'm just failing to see the humor in saying that song's title is one's pronouns.
I'm accustomed to jokes having something in them that makes them amusing. This one, I'm just not getting.
By the way, if anyone lives in Nevada, frequently visits, has close ties with the furry community in Nevada, etc. and wants a chat that hopefully won't suck the same way?
I've started one. People are welcome to join. Here's to hoping it works out. 💜❤️
