Tldr lemmy mods apologising for fash on lemmy and the mods/admins/users defending the bigot as they recruit others to their dogshit instance.

Oh also one user calling lgbtq+ user a pedophile pushing that same vile rhetoric used by fascists to dehumanised lgbtq+ people and they didn’t get banned immediately. So criticalresist gets banned for telling users to fuck off but using dehumanising homophobia to bully a Comrade is a-ok by lemmy mod standards.

Leftist social media? What a laugh. They stand for nothing and fall for everything.

Update: the wolfballs admin seems to have fled while deleting their comments and the abjectly homophobic comment by another user was removed but further comments continuing the bs idea that a user here is a groomer because she is part of the lgbtq+ community persist further legitimising that assumption that the two (lgbtq+ and noncing) are somehow linked.

Do better lemmy.

    The ironic part about the groomer thing is that the last big struggle session I was in, I spent 2 days telling people off for saying that Loli is acceptable because “Japan just has different norms.” And they thought I was being silly to argue that we should defederate from people showing that behavior because they are dangerous. Loli is disgusting and I said as much and stopped talking to them over that discussion.

      I don’t think a lot of people in the wider world who aren’t queer or allies realise that linking peadophilia and lgbt was a major piece of propaganda used to demonise and refuse us rights by homophobes and that it had such a profound affect on reactionaries that I still hear the odd homophobe say it today and it boils my blood. To see it even remotely tolerated on lemmy made me seethe. Like people who have queer friends asking if we will ever see peadophilia normalised like lgbt and its like wtf why are you associating someones sexuality and child exploitation?! Lgbt people can still be pedophiles the same as straights. They are completely different and this subconscious linking of the two is one of the most damaging hit pieces homophobes ever pulled off.

      Erghhh the loli debate is always brain melting. I categorised it as Japan might have a lower age of consent but that doesn’t justify peadophilia and i doubt it flies over there too, if your drawing someone to be intentionally pre-puberty then you are attaching that sexualisation to a childs body. The aspect of loli that attracts the users is the prebubescent bodies and that is vile.
