spicy.... but i was born poor........
Ironic considering I was born extremely poor. In fact, I started following the Temp to learn how to hack and repair my stuff in order to extend the life of them and cut back on what little spending I was doing. I’ve always been rather pale because of an immune disorder. I used to not be so pale but that’s kind of just how it is when your immune system isn’t a fan of itself.

I think you're the only person that "knows" how it goes.
That’s normally how it goes. Make shit up, get mad about it, project it on others, and expect them to play along

When looking up a documentary maybe don't watch one on a topic created by a far-right pundit that makes money off of being a very political talkshow host.

Here's an actual deep-dive with citations into why that "documentary" shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/in-what-is-a-woman-matt-walsh-asks-a-question/

When actual scientists call it bullshit maybe it shouldn't be taken seriously, similarly to how scientists not affiliated with the Sacklers called Oxycontin being prescribed the way it was as anti-ethical bullshit.
I notice how the article rambles on and on but in the end, doesn't actually answer the question. Also what makes science science, isn't that a person with a PhD wrote it, its that you can test and verify the results yourself. What you cited is an opinion piece, there's nothing testable there whatsoever.

How long untill a ban? Let's find out
The troll account was reported multiple times but nobody gives a shit. Meanwhile this thread about kiwifarms got derailed once again by the usual troll we have + the newcomer. This place is doomed under a mountain of shitposting.

Would be nice if the staff actually moderated this section, but now it’s just a worse EOF because at least EOF has staff presences in it

This is the political section. It's always doomed to be a shitposting place

I thought it was supposed to be moderated. At least that's what the sticky says.

I have done literally nothing wrong
You have infuriated people, though that's pretty much your modus operandi. You give due warning about that however, so I can't fault you.

So the plan is to just let trolls derail threads until no one wants to bother with the board anymore or?
I'm generally against this forum, but no. The so said trolls are actually talking about one of the biggest thing with Kiwifarms. Hating on Transsexuals

Someone who loves to censor, deplatform and ruin the lives of people they disagree with is a piece of shit in my opinion. I can also rephrase some of what you said in a way that makes you look way worse. The others i can apply back to you without changing any of the wording. And whoever is in power will be doing the censoring.
Its a really good metaphor, enabling any kind of censorship is creating a ring of power, and you would be very stupid to assume that your side will always be the one holding it. Because if it ever ends up in the hands of your enemies, they will not hesitate to use it against you, because they know you did not hesitate to use it against them. Maybe when every single person you like to listen to is scrubbed from the internet, when every space where you could talk is taken offline, and you cannot express so much as the softest opinion or get banned, not because you're wrong, but because you're on the wrong side, maybe then you will understand just how wrong you were. And when that inevitably happens, you will get no pity from me.
Feels good not being on the wrong side of history. I'll choose humanity and kindness over fascism and being a piece of shit any day of the week

I normally don’t correct people but transsexual is kind of a dated term and not used these days. Use it if you want but just be aware that you might get some flack.

That being said, it’s not so much this thread that’s the problem, it’s the entire section. The section is slowly becoming impossible for anyone who isn’t a conspiracy theorist, anti-lgbt+/transphobic, anti-vaxxor, obvious racists, and generally the worst of the worst. This thread literally has kiwifarms refugees making their home in it. The lack of moderation has made this the worst section on the Temp and generally the most toxic section. It’s kind of impressive just how poorly run this section is and how the staff expect to be respected when they are literally letting this happen.

Staff claim to moderate it, but yet threads will literally go into the hundreds of pages with absolute nonsense before literally everyone does anything, which is always just locking the thread. That bare minimum of moderation has made this place a complete cesspool

Well I would call it staff negligence but for a title, literally just shithole. This section is a shithole and provides nothing of value to the temp. Even the EOF provides the occasional laugh or meme threads. This section only provides more reasons for people to avoid the Temp.
Nono trans people.I thought it was the neutral term.

Yeah, I realized that after reading the post again.
Trans or transgender is what is commonly used. Transsexual has somewhat been moved over to referring to people who’ve undergone surgeries but even then it’s been hotly debated and kind of pushed away. Most people find it to be a rather abrasive term that comes from a very different era.
