After hearing claims that a small subset of the Signalis Discord moderation team had been discussing decisions and bans in a private group separate from the rest of the staff, I honestly didn't want to believe it.
However, ever since I made the twitter post, several current and former moderators have privately reached out to me. Some said they believed my ban was unfair but felt too afraid to oppose it. Others shared screenshots of discussions that took place in this separate moderator group before my ban.
Before posting them, I asked other moderators to verify that the screenshots were authentic, and they confirmed they were.
Reading them was honestly heartbreaking.
For almost 4 years I've been on the server, I've always been respectful to the moderation team and believed they would always approach situations fairly and without bias. I never imagined I'd one day be reading conversations where they had already formed opinions about me and were discussing banning me before I was even given a chance to defend myself.
Whether people agree with my actions or not is up to them. But I never expected to find out that convos like this were happening behind my back. That realization has left me feeling incredibly hurt and betrayed.
At this point, even if my ban were reversed, I don't think I could ever bring myself to return. The trust I had in the moderation team is gone, and I don't think I'd ever feel welcome or comfortable there again.
@OlJackyBoyy@alkaloidfreak@pandacreampie You say "your biology theory is broken" which in the context of the original tweet seems to imply you think HRT doesn't cause breast growth, given that's the only biological effect that has actually been discussed.
Suffice to say you may just be stupid
@londoncityguyuk This is ignorant to the facts. Given that Scotland and NI both voted remain if looking at just their population, Brexit absolutely exasperated the situation and emboldened constituent country nationalists
Don't you think it's a little suspicious how UK dissolution sentiment has had a sharp uptick shortly after both the Falklands re-emerged as an issue and a recent move to sanction Israel?
While the idea has existed for ages, the sudden increase in prominence is... convenient.
The main reason nobody buys JK Rowling accidentally chose Galbraith is that all fiction writers learn very early on to google every name you come up with, because otherwise you will inevitably end up going "what's a good honest working class name? Hmm... Peterrrr..... Sutcliffe?"
Zack Snyder says he is pro-gay and that ‘300’ is “one of the gayest movies ever made.”
“I always go, 'Look, there are few movies where people come in straight and come out gay, and 300 is one of them.'”

I would like to bring to your attention: Twilight of the Gods, a series which Zack Snyder created. It features tons of queer characters, including a trans woman.
Also, everyone has full sex scenes in this series, including the trans woman.
@klemabot An actual quote from this video is "you lose absolutely nothing except maybe the Adrian and Celeste ship... if you're a coward."
When they're talking about the effects of the anime making the pair sisters.
Wtf.
Obviously, in an ideal world, I'd want GB to simply rejoin the EU. But no-one is going to do a second referendum despite how close the actual one was, and even if they did most people would be defeatist idiots and stick by the stupid decision we made 10 years ago.
NI leaving is a different matter, because they'd obviously re-unify with Ireland. I don't think independent Scotland/England/Wales would be the best situation for any involved, I'd argue the cons outweigh the pros.
Of course, we'd never be in this situation if not for Brexit.
very funny that trump’s implied take is that the uk is desperately trying to cling on to northern ireland and the republic desperately want it when i feel like both governments are like “FUCK FUCK JUST STAY VERY STILL AND MAYBE IT’LL BE FINE”
