I’ve no idea what you just said…. You sound off. Are you ok?
That is just confirmation bias doing it’s work. You didn’t pay attention before when they was getting muted, but now you are when they are not. Sometimes the brain will even rewrite the way we remember things to protect our core values. But they was getting muted for a long time. It wasn’t until around BFA/Legion that the post wouldnt get deleted/buried. Often times under the excuse of it being derailed, off topic, or having too much aggression in it. Which was caused by the people that didn’t want the threads there. It was a common tactic to close these threads simply by going in and being aggressive in order to get it shut down. Would provide you proof but alas they are as I said. Deleted.
Your group pushes nothing but hate against everything they disagree with. You openly allow these people to insult anyone and everyone they disagree with. They are openly pushing for violence against people they disagree with even if it’s against a certain religion. These people are literally afraid of their own shadows. You have allowed this to happen even as a moderator.
You are The Problem.

The right to deny service on the basis of religion, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, essentially “censoring” groups on the basis of both religion and law.
The right for state regulation of abortion, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, again on the basis of religion and law.
I’m not going to write a paper for you but I don’t think you’d disagree that just two of these are pretty substantial examples?
I have NEVER seen an LGBT post get removed.
NEVER. AND I SEE THEM EVERY TIME I LOG INTO THESE FORUMS.
Well, my original response highlighted that moderation hinges on the behavior, not the topic. LGBT posts are positive, i.e. pro - LGBT. Those removed are negative, i.e. anti - LGBT. You can pick any subject and be anti - and probably receive some form of censorship. Try it, disparage on the basis of race, ability, even the perpetual victims of censorship, the political right, and create a hate thread. I’d almost guarantee it will be removed.

Businesses have a right to refuse service for whatever reason they want.
Dafuq does abortion have to do with freedom of speech.
Do a search for LGBT Representation with the search requirement be before 2018 or 2019. You will see there will be little to no result due to this and dates prior being when such threads was being closed out. The same search applied to 2020 and beyond yields many more results. I think you are misremembering things.
Then why are you upset at Blizzard, a business, for doing what they want?
As for abortion, I was reply to you asking for examples on how the political right achieves their goals. There isn’t much examples for the political left on the legal sphere on this topic because they operate within the realm of public opinion, and because it’s a losing legal battle against the constitution. We can consider Florida’s censorship bill then. That’s how the right operates.
Welcome to the hypocritical problem that is plaguing society atm. People are wanting a lot of really bad things to apply to those of different beliefs but want their own to be protected. It’s not possible to argue with many of these people because they argue from a place of emotion, not rational logic.

I think we had a fairly reasonable exchange. I do not even disagree with your opinion that biases exist in what should be an objective process, just that there isn’t really a feasible solution.
Pardon but whats the relevance of this? You have some pretty strong allegations there. Is there any evidence to back it up. Sources to quote? Or is this just some personal belief due to your blind hatred.

Okay, so let’s address them.
You being personally offended by their gloating, despite your dislike for those being perpetually offended is quite hypocritical despite your denial. My question for you, is it that hard to just ignore them?
I’m not sure why the topic of sexualized children is suddenly brought up. I think most people would say yes?
It is a problem that protected classes are being used as shield for criticism, but my turn to ask for an example of a valid criticism being censored on the basis of the subject matter.
Perhaps you can also address this:
Which are apparently rules for thee but not for me.

MAPS. They’re openly accepted by this community.
Sounds like intentionally egregious misinformation. Or do you have evidence to back up those claims?

You are off the deep-end without a paddle.
It is not against the rules to post about one’s sexuality.
It is not against the rules to gloat.
It is not possible to scream on a text based forum.
Conflating lgbtq people with pedophiles is absolutely reprehensible and deserving of a ban in and of itself.
No, we can’t. Stop saying dumb things.
There are plenty of funny jokes about gay people. There are plenty of gay villians. You can question gay people about anything you like - besides their sexuality, which is none of your god damn business.
No.
No it isn’t.
No, they aren’t.

When they’re constantly gloating about infecting every genre there is how can you ignore them.
We get it they are there. We don’t need to hear about it.
How many straight people do you hear or see constantly come scream out about their sexuality. No one cares. Do your thing and move on. No one cares.
I think your mistaking gloating with celebration. People that have felt ignored and opressed are getting noticed. I feel like celebrating is probably the normal reaction.

No one NEEDS to care; straight people don’t have to FIGHT for representation. You have seen straight people representing you since the moment you were born. Every family in every cartoon, every tv show, every book, every sign, literally everywhere.
If you don’t want to read it, DON’T READ IT. Nobody makes you click on it.
I do not disagree, and I also think that being in the spotlight is counter - productive to being normalized, but I don’t see how this justifies your stance that any opinion is being unfairly censored over another as opposed to just the higher prevalence of another.
They also have the right to do that, you know?
