And the mod @nuke@sh.itjust.works will do anything to silence people talking about it.

Why is such a hate community that larps/memes as loving crimes against humanity and terrorist groups like blackwater so well received? This is the sort of shit you’d see on 4chan.

    Having said that, I do wish that @nuke@sh.itjust.works would be slightly more transparent with what the community is about in order to avoid this kind of situation.

    The best way to make sarcastic jokes land is to explain that they are sarcastic in each post!

      Not what I said, you conveniently left out the example immediately following this sentence. Please engage with me in context or not at all.

        They could put pinned comments under posts like this, stating that transphobia will not be tolerated and similar.

        This example, which is explaining the that the joke is sarcastically mocking the transphobic identify as a helicopter meme?

        Maybe I should have included that as well, but thought it made the quote a bit repetitive being an inch higher on the screen and all.

          If you think a pinned comment that says “trans rights are human rights, transphobia will be banned” (which the mods already did, just too late till after OP fully formed an opinion on the situation) and nothing more, is explaining the joke, then sure. I would love to see the joke explained.

          Not much else to say, Have a great day. :)
