"Silver vixen" is truly an awe-inspiring suggestion!! I hope it enters common use to empower and enchant, and that it never ends up being used in a misogynistic way.
i should be cw'ing this shit whoops; meta chat
anyway quelle surprise that the official line seems to be "i couldn't kick somebody out just for being unwell! despite the fact that active harm is being done to PoC, i've got to care about a white person's feelings over the safety of PoC", especially given that this seems to be something of a longstanding pattern.
yeah this is blatant subtooting but having never really known about this section of the fediverse in general before now, well,
, et cetera.
i should put away the popcorn, but just. LOL.
"i didn't know about this problem" has now become "i had my eye on this user for awhile, i had serious talks with them, but i never took any action because it just feels unfair to kick them due to their mental illness so as you see i am a saint and the best and a very sad victim here"
at some point an admin - especially an admin! - has to say "your right to swing your fists ends at the start of another person's face".
also i haven't been going to this particular doctor for long but honestly i feel like if your chronic pain has been going on for 5+ years, it's fair game for you to Dr. WebMd on occasion
i suppose this is a subtoot
anyway i was peering around to see what the mod response was to, uh, All Of That, and it seems like the mod response was mostly
"hdu screenshot dunk one of my users i'm defederating"
i mean, i get "it's frustrating when i really needed a report of this so i could act but i'm only learning of it now". but also. sometimes a "screenshot dunk" is "i've preserved evidence of this bullshit and wish to make it clear what's up so others can be warned and avoid".
@wigglytuffitout yeah not those specific ones, true, but they definitely did books at that level and tone, so like, all you really need is more wishbone doing more books, right
@wigglytuffitout harp that's just Regular Wishbone lmao
you know what we really need a reboot of, though?
Wishbone
yes i know we'll all have to admit that the original dog actor has died and it's awful, but like... imagine Wishbone For Adults.
i don't mean dark and gritty.
i just mean that it's a dog in a costume giving you a summary of, like, The Great Gatsby and Heart of Darkness and such
alternatively, everyone's trying to emphatically ignore the, uh, reboot of ReBoot that happened and i still haven't watched out of sheer exhaustion in my very soul about it
