lies of P. not sure if I like it or not yet, some annoying aspects but it has drawn me in more than any other non fromsoft soulslike I’ve tried over the years

the example in this thread is really quite bad, the admin was called out directly and didn’t acknowledge it at all. boneheaded behaviour at this of all moments.

feeling very foolish for ever thinking the internet moderators on here don’t have that much in common with all internet moderators ever

not saying conspiracy, it seems to have pretty much just been TC69 handing out the condescending bans and then turning it into a joke when called out. also as others have said it’s mind boggling that the responsibility of handling this seems to be solely on her atm after a 3 year hiatus.

the “memefication” of the whole thing makes me feel really gross. not seen it on here but I’ve been trying to call it out when I can because obviously it’s just contributing toremoved culture. human trafficking andremoved are in the equation here. seeing men say free Diddy “ironically” is fucking sick. there’s also an aspect where some people are acting like his greatest crime is having sex with men… grimly predictable stuff under patriarchy but still awful to have to see. seems like the kids are all over this shit too which is just sad.

suddenly turning bans into a big joke feels like a way to deflect criticism for… banning people for valid criticism (as well as condescending in ban messages). cynical and irony poisoned.

this is being handled so childishly by what seems like a good handful of the mods and admins lol. complete shit show. why not just lock the thread and perma everyone criticizing you all at this point, or do you enjoy arguing with us that much? i acknowledge that some users have acted overly hostile and crossed lines which sucks for you all to have to deal with but you all have created this situation (problem was fake to begin with) and gone on to drop the ball on resolving it several times in comical fashion.

needlessly dismissive and rude. can you not see why we’re concerned that it took this long for this to even be acknowledged and it’s buried in a third level comment with this tone?

don’t worry, we got a response in the form of a third level comment from an admin I’ve never seen before saying the admins are working on it. truly my mind is at ease

a plea to the admins generally: please address the flagrant transphobia/bizarre gender essentialism that was the thrust of a couple of the (anonymous!) mod takes from the big thread. if this gets swept under the rug my faith in admins/mods to consistently oppose bigotry will be severely damaged. the silence is already deafening on the issue.
