Since this is a post not a message to the mods, I assume anyone can comment and I personally think BiR is a great mod.

She hasn’t said anything that isn’t factually accurate and I think even if this were actually wrong, it’s not enough to remove her.

People break rules here all the time. They get second and third and hundredth chances.

Sometimes people don’t break rules but say incredibly offensive things and we let it go and move on (example- idk… telling rape victims they should tend to any wounds they give their rapists if they have to defend themselves comes to mind…).

We have two actually consistently active mods. It’s odd you’d jump to remove one of them instead of attempting to have the issue addressed and resolved in a more reasonable way first.

This could have and should have been a private conversation with the mod team.

What? When did it happen?

Months and months ago now. Essentially, masks told me that I am barely human/cruel/morally a failure/a bad person because I did not assist a rapist whose nose I broke and because if in the situation again, I would still maim the rapist and not help. Escaping an attacker you manage to injure is a moral failing of women and they are barely human if they don’t stop to offer aid after kicking a man who forced his penis into her body, in the nuts. He never apologised or admitted this is a disgusting display of hatred for women and resounding support for rapists to be protected from consequences of their choice to be a rapist. He has made zero effort to apologise for deliberately dehumanising me and victim blaming me. In fact he doubled down. And will likely throw a tantrum over my use of the term ‘he’.

The audacity and misogyny it takes to make this thread after he has done that is fucking infinite.

Jesus Christ, I thought this thread was ridicoulous because I know how big of a theatrics-enthusiast performer mask is. But this comment you just wrote puts a completely different level of disgusting hypochrisy on the situation.

I really have no word to describe just how violently disgusted I am by the idea that there are people who think that rape victims have any obligation towards their rapists. Or that they need to put themselves even in potential more danger because the poor souls need help.

And here I thought that forcing female rape victims to call their trans rapist "she" was bad: this is even worse. Ugh.

But yeah, of course, dehumanization is only something important when it' s done to the "right" people and for the "right" reasons. Calling out a rape victim for trying to save herself from her rapist, on the other hand, is perfectly fine.
