    I get the ironic angle of the mod being “authoritarian” but that’s their space and if they decide they don’t want to deal with trolls arguing about they can ban people.

    Just like trans communities can and should ban people who just want to argue about if trans people are real. If you try to argue against it you’re just being a dick and distracting from the point of the community.

      If the point of a community is spreading misinformation, you have a moral obligation to distract from the point of the community

          I’ll bite, compared to Russia or China, the U.S. is not an authoritarian state.

          Do you think it is?

                  yeah, ik and I hate both the us and china, I just can’t stand it when people claim that the us is the worse than china, which isn’t true since in the us you at least get free speach and the right to own a gun

            Lol, further proof that the word “authoritarian” is just a meaningless snarl word for foreign adversaries.

        And does that apply to when transphobes decide that trans people being real is “misinformation”?
