I’m all for it, but what kicked it off?

    Earlier this week a user posted “kill Nazis” and got a warning from Imgur saying that imgur is an inclusive platform, welcome to everyone. (which apparently includes Nazis?)
    That’s what kicked this off (again).

    There was already some upset feelings in the community because at the beginning of the week one of the “Elbow Deep In A” accounts got suspended over a “Gone Mild” drawing of a goblin girl. So it didn’t take much for the community to be really upset with “business daddy”

      I recently got something similar on reddit. I don’t remeber the exact quote, but “I can’t believe these people haven’t been murdered yet” is apparently a credible death threat now.

        I got a 24 hour ban for saying Danielle Smith should stand on her head so the blood will rush to get brain and she could have a coherent thought. “Promoting Violence”

        I got a 72 hour ban for responding to someone who said Vance will never be US President. I said he would when Trump had the inevitable coronary from eating too many cheeseburgers. “Promoting violence”

        Perma-ban for responding to a story about Kristi Noem telling Canada how to run border security with saying she should keep her cunt ass on her side of the border. “Inciting violence”.

        Reddit WANTS to be a right wing echo chamber and looks for excuses to ban people who don’t agree with that world view.

        I’m just thankful that the community isn’t one to make it a nazi bar, even if business daddy wants it to be.

      Where nazis are welcome, no one else is.

      That second paragraph might as well be written in Cyrillic for all the sense it made. Do I want to know what gone mild goblin girls look like, I feel like I don’t, but I’m also morbidly curious.

        Basically a drawing of a goblin girl in a bikini, and there’s a few accounts whose names start with “ElbowDeepInA…” (it started with “ElbowDeepInAHorse”)

      got banned from that shithole before business daddy owned them.

      told a piece of shit promoting eugenics to “cleanse the gene pool and drink bleach” if they were so concerned about bad genetics.

      never went back. I’m happy the community there became the toxic cesspool it deserved to become.

        There was once someone making the claim that drinking bleach and bleach enemas cures autism.

        I told them to test that theory and go drink bleach.

        I got banned… i forget the flowery language they used, but basically got banned for being “hateful”, and my post deleted. the bleach boy account remained untouched.

          That’s how I got permabanned on Twitter, before the musk set in.

          Frontex was trying to use pride month to boost their image, just weeks after footage came out of them pushing leaky migrant boats back into sea. They said something like “bullying is never the answer”, to which I responded “No, but pushing people back to drown at sea is, right?”
          That was apparently “hate speech”, and I got permabanned.

            oh absolutely.

            The mods on imgur have always punished based on their personal beliefs and fetishes, not on the rules.
