You know the modlog is public, right?

What a shocker, a reactionary's "different opinion" turns out to be defending transphobia and calling people mentally ill for pointing out harmful stereotypes.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago

i never called anyone mentally ill nor defended transphobia. wtf are you talking about. i like hogwarts legacy game and did not find those harmful things those people said were in the game. sounds like someone is lying

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

the words you wrote implied someone would have to be mentally ill in order to see the obvious anti-semitism in rowling's portrayal of goblins, being as they are essentially the 4chan greedy merchant meme

you can stop lying now

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee -4 points 1 year ago

wow really? it couldnt imply racism? why do you jump straight to mental illness? unless you think racism is a mental illness

if you look at a goblin and automatically think "Jewish" you might have a problem

you can stop lying now

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

The mod log continues to be public.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

the first guy already said that, so i dont know what youre trying to imply. please, explain it to me

[-] vzq@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

We can all see your comments and they are very insensitive. I wouldn’t have banned you over them but I see why a hexbear mod would.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago

i dont see how they are insensitive in the slightest. people are putting words into my mouth

[-] vzq@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

No, you are putting words into your mouth. People are telling you what the words you are putting into your mouth mean and what the consequences are.

Take the feedback. Or leave it.

Either way, you are responsible for your actions.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago

no im saying one thing and people are saying im saying another thing entirely

[-] vzq@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

I take it back: I would totally ban you.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee -1 points 11 months ago

why? i wouldn't ban you even though you are quite clearly trolling to try getting a rise out of people

[-] vzq@lemm.ee -1 points 11 months ago

I’m not trolling. You seem genuinely incapable of taking any criticism on board, thereby virtually guaranteeing that the issue will persist.

So eventually I would ban you.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

what issue? you've never explained a real life issue. makes me certain you're just a troll

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

wow really? it couldnt imply racism? why do you jump straight to mental illness? unless you think racism is a mental illness

i wish we had a "boredly jerking off" emoji bc that's what this deserves in response

if you look at a goblin and automatically think "Jewish" you might have a problem

yes that would be true, if that was what was happening here. since you're obviously incapable of learning this will be a waste of time but here's some articles talking about the issue

https://www.thejc.com/news/news/hogwarts-legacy-reignites-allegations-of-antisemitism-within-hp-universe-kGxvwfPYJFZY2OsXc1e9y

since i know you probably won't bother i'm just going to quote some relevant bits from the last article

"Critics assert that the goblins, who control Gringotts bank within JK Rowling’s beloved wizarding world, resemble the caricatures depicted in the antisemitic 1903 book, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. [...] [T]he goblins’ appearance and profession parallel offensive antisemitic stereotypes such as having large, hooked noses and a particular covetousness for gold and money.

The game also includes a description of a special horn that closely resembles the Jewish shofar, which was used in the lore “during the 1612 Goblin Rebellion to rally troops and generally annoy witches and wizards,”

Critics were quick to also note that, coincidentally or not, the year 1612 coincides with The Fettmilch Uprising, a Jewish pogrom in Germany in which Jews were expelled from the city of Frankfurt. Although the uprising first began in 1612, Jews were only actually expelled in 1614."

wow thats pretty crazy didnt know all that. i dont see how im a terrible person for it though. boredly jerking off emoji here

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

not knowing things doesn't make you a terrible person. however, if you choose to continue defending a blatantly hateful property in a franchise created by a bigot now that you know better, then yeah people would be justified in calling you a piece of shit

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

not defending anything. im saying i like a game. people shit on me for that? how about my mother? is she a piece of shit? cause she likes the game?

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

alright good talk, eat shit and die

yes that means your mommy too, you absolute dweeb

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

wow. you're a terrible person

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

i don't care what bigots think <3

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

me neither, which is why your comments dont affect me. but still, treat people better in the future. its quite sad being an internet bully

have a good rest of the day Kuori! make good choices! 🥰

[-] yata@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Don't enable them by participating on their instance. Block them and move on.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 11 months ago

Was that game Hogwarts Legacy? 🤔

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

yeah it was. fun game

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

This is amazing. You tried to make them look bad, but you didn’t know your filth was public record. 🤣 Maybe go back to Reddit, trash.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

i didnt do anything wrong, and now youre name calling and bullying. that is so pathetic. get a life

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

If I punch you, but I don’t think that punching is wrong, did I do something wrong?

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee -2 points 11 months ago

that analogy doesnt work because i didnt punch anybody 🤣

its funny your first thought is violence after being exposed for what youre really doing in this comment section

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

An analogy is a comparison between two different things for the purpose of explaining an often unfamiliar concept.

In this case, it works perfectly regardless of your comprehension.

However, I’m sure you comprehend it fine, you just don’t want the conversation to progress because you’ll be painted in a corner. You already know that what you did was offensive but because you don’t think you’re “wrong,” you feel attacked. Everyone knows you posted that with the specific intent to get into an argument. When you were denied that argument, you got angry and posted this—which you found did not get the validation you craved.

Now you’re trying to play the victim to mock what you consider to be oversensitivity. The real oversensitivity it you giving a shit who is in a game. ❄️

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee -1 points 11 months ago

i comprehended the analogy. me not punching anybody means i didnt do anything offensive. i mean, really, think about it. i still dont get why those 2 comments are what got me banned. nobodies given a reason, they just want to find a victim and attack them, like what youre doing right now

and what do you mean my oversensitivity is me caring who is in a game? what are you referring to? i seriously don't know

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

But you did punch them, metaphorically. You posted the questionable content to a community you knew would be hurt by it. That action was intentional. Regardless that you feel you did nothing wrong, to them you did.

I guess you could see this as a lesson.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee -2 points 11 months ago

what quetionable content? i just said i like the game, it put a huge smile on my mothers face to explore hogwarts, which that alone was worth the 30 bucks i spent on it

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago
[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee -2 points 11 months ago

im aware. how are those 2 comments ban worthy or even offensive?

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

I’m sure the comment was interpreted as suggesting that conservatives are not hate-mongers, which would anger many people who experience the hate of the conservative parties on a daily basis. If you’re not in one of those hated groups, good for you!

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago

oh, that comment was meant that if the makers of the game were the conservative hate mongers, why would they have the nicest character in the game be trans. or have the male voice be from a gay voice actor

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Because the game developers are not, J. K. Rowling is the conservative piece of shit. I’m sure the writers of the game added those characters as a much deserved middle finger to J. K. Rowling.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee -1 points 11 months ago

i read on tvtropes the male voice actor already recorded all his lines by the time rowling said those things, and that he wont be a part of the franchise anymore

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Good for them.

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

I got banned for questioning their bizarre love of Stalin of all people.

[-] amio@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

They are doing you a favor.

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Best to stay away from the entire instance. They can and will get you blocked banned from other instances as well.

EDIT: They just got one of my accounts banned for 30 days for disagreeing with them and responding back to their childish meme posts.

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

If you go into a conservative sub and start posting “libtard” content, they will ban you too. If you don’t like zero-tolerance-lefty people, don’t interact with them 🤷‍♂️
