It may be useful to reach out to the news sites publishing articles about the sub. All of them paint it as a 4chan neo nazi group. None of them mention the superstraight efforts to raise money for vancouver rape relief, or the fact that gays, lesbians, and bisexuals had a safe space there to talk about our sexualities, or how it shed light on a very disturbing problem of promoting rape culture and conversion therapy in the trans community.

Welcome to being an outcast. It was fun being on the inside, wasn't it? You got to call anyone who disagreed with you a nazi, and it felt good.

Now, exactly as predicted, the monster you created turned on you and now you're stuck on a free speech site with all the other deplorables. You get to find out what it's like for anything you say to be tarred with the brush of "4chan neo nazi group". Well, don't say you weren't warned.

WILLIAM ROPER: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!

SIR THOMAS MORE: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?

ROPER: I'd cut down every law in England to do that!

MORE: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!

Literally what are you fucking talking about.

I thought it was pretty clear. When you had the power, you tarred dissenting opinions as racist alt-right 4chan nazis. And enjoyed it greatly. You were warned repeatedly that the censorship monster you were feeding would turn on you.

Now it has, and since the precedent has been established of discrediting dissent by calling it racist alt-right 4chan incel trolls, the worm has turned. Now the monster has turned on you and you're getting the exact same treatment you dealt out to others.

What's it like? How does it feel, being outcast into the basket of deplorables?

Um no. I didn't. And you can see in my comment history both here and on reddit (under SuperByeSexual) that I didn't. So again, what are you fucking talking about?

I've seen your comments equating site wide reddit censorship with normal levels of moderation here on saidit to keep posts on topic and remove bad faith posts/comments and trolls. Fuck off. Go for a walk. Have a snack. Something. Jesus.

That was the plural "you". Sorry that English has that problem.

And yes, there was massive cheering and fist pumping from the left every time any rightist got the same treatment as Superstraight just got. The pattern was established and the narrative set. Call them racist alt-right 4chan incels. Poof, instant justification for any censorship.

What's it like being in the basket of deplorables? I'm honestly curious.
