They were banned nearly a month ago, and I’ve barely noticed a difference so I don’t think there’s a lot to worry about.

IMO removal of this sort of user just makes the instance healthier, because people are more likely to stick around when they’re not subjected to a user’s reactionary nonsense.

I don’t see a need to remove it, but we could put some new moderators on it instead.

I was wrong on the “gore”, but the context of the upset is still there. It’s a picture of a Japanese soldier executing an American soldier with the text “United States is a Chinese Colony”

Their caption was “M8 wtf”, but they failed to include any content warnings or context to the image. So, effectively, they posted sinophobia.

if you look in the modlog, you’ll see why. I was the one who did the ban.

But to sum, they posted an image of a rotund master chief, as stated by someone else in the comments. Then tried to complain about “wokewashing” in gaming, a far-right dog whistle about how the “woke media” is ruining gaming because they… ya know… depict women as human beings, include people of colour, and have gay characters. Specifically, they were complaining about Concord. A game that was released and then instantly pulled from markets because the far-right complained about it.

While I was investigating this, I found that they had a habit of posting/commenting reactionary things without context or reasoning, and getting things removed from communities for it. Including the N-word, sinophobia and gore, etc. That kind of behaviour can’t stand, and it had gone on for too long.

This reads like a man who is grasping for anything.

This reads like a man who is slowly losing his mind.

“woe is me, because we legally gave up our nuclear weapons as part of international treaties Russia is liberating ethnic Russians who we were bombing en-mass. why us? pls give us membership in NATO and turn this into a world war, I promise you’ll benefit”

Everyone gets at least a little bit of nerves.

Try to remember that you’re surrounded by people who will render help if something happens, and any injuries sustained will heal in time.

There’s not really “good” advice to give, because everyone’s different. Take some time to find something that works for you whether that’s a pre-protest warmup, meditation before or after, breathing exercises, ideological or philosophical motivation, etc. Something is going to help you slow your heart rate and keep your head about you.

Atomic, Biological, Chemical.

Though I’m more familiar with that as NBC (N being nuclear), so it’s possible that I’m misinterpreting what REEEEvolution meant.

All of this time they’ve been telling us that Russia, China, The DPRK, etc. are all “paranoid nations”. Turns out, it’s just projection, it’s the west that’s paranoid.

to be fair, i’m dyslexic and kept reading it as “Transradical”

had my eyes have actually worked, the ban would’ve been sooner.

I’ve gathered enough from our community and the creator’s responses to make an Admin verdict. I’d like to thank the people who commented on this post and on the creator’s posts, it was a great help.

@SocialistMonk@lemmygrad.ml will be banned from Lemmygrad and their communities will be removed. I intended to give them a chance to explain “Transracial” and “Woke-free” and possibly make a change, people make mistakes after all. But they’ve shown a total misunderstanding of the impact that those statements can have. Include their Trotskyist community and the case becomes even more shut. They don’t deserve to be here.
