A reddit user posted screenshots of a gas giant that were beautifully adorned with the colors of the trans flag.
This attracted bigots with their agenda to disrupt the community discussion and the mods shut it down by locking the post.
So the poster created a second one with more photos as a symbolic gesture that the message was simply about pretty planets that they felt represented them-
It too, was locked.
I made a post there proclaiming that I am leaving until I see the mods replaced with those that will not give in to bigotry, and I linked to this community with the hope that people can find a new home here.
Sooooo… welcome new friends!
If this was a black person you would see this differently no? Veiled transphobia here
The problem is: why do you need to talk about these arguments in a game subreddit ? Or in any other place not dedicated to these arguments ?
No, I would see this the same way. It’s a video game subreddit. They signed on to moderate discussions about the game not social issues.
Why do you feel entitled to the moderator’s time and energy? Why do you think you have a right to force them to confront hate on a subreddit that is about a space exploration video game?
