As it turns out, the mods in the Reddit community are supporting bigots by shutting down posts that are trans positive: (self.nomanssky)

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!

Is it possible they just don't feel like dealing with and interacting with the hate? The mods are modding a game subreddit they aren't making a space where they should be expected to engage in culture wars. It's depressing having to interact with a ton of hate.

Im bi and I wouldn't want to deal with people engaging in hateful discussions about bisexual erasure on a subreddit that has nothing to do with sexuality or social issues. That isn't the space for it.

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 ?

[–] CreativeShotgun 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Existing isn't an argument, neither are peoples rights.

True, but this does not mean that everyplace is the right place to talk about everything.

Would you have a problem with a straight person talking Bout their wife or husband, or about their gender? Thats all they did, mention it. Existence is not political, imagine being told you can't even talk about a fundamental part of yourself because you're "being political."

Yes, if the person do it in the wrong place.

See, the problem with people like you is that they think that every place is the right place to talk about everything. And then call bigots the ones that point out "look wrong place to discuss these topics".

But what you fail to explain is why it should be allowed. If there is a division into topics (be them subreddit, lemmy communities or whatever) it means something. It is not that on StackOverflow you can discuss about personal relationships, there are site of the network dedicated.
