found on r-blackwolffeed

On a related note, r-ChapoDogHouse is the last remaining chapo (in the name) sub that I know of. There was a porm themed one that lasted a while, but it got nuked eventually.

    it doesn’t just sound like that, we’ve purged a ton of the old sub’s userbase that overlapped with r/stupidpol and had a transphobia problem

        If you don’t want to use your pronouns you can just use the gender-neutral they, which is what most people will default to online anyway

        NO THIS IS BIG TRANS TRYING TO SILENCE ME

        Without doing any research, I am 90% confident that the person in the post was banned for transphobia.

          Well, that, and it turned out they were using the Chapo Discord server to organize downvote-brigading against anyone speaking out in favor of making pronoun tags mandatory. Site admins wound up checking users’ downvote histories (via the backing database) against certain posts/comments and used that to ID and ban a bunch of them, since we don’t track IP addresses. Downvotes were removed shortly afterwards, again because of transphobes harassing trans users.

          CW: Turbo Cringe

          I have my own cringe admission here: when TC69 first started HRT, she made a post about getting high from “E.” I, being an absolute brain genius, thought she was bragging (outside of the drugs comm) about doing MDMA, and I may have done a pearl-clutchy downvote because “E” = “estradiol” didn’t click in my big genius brain at the time, and the mods/admins were very emphatic at the time that we had minors on the site and not to post various things outside of containment comms because of posts attracting brigades from Reddit.

          So yeah, I downvoted TC69 once on my old account and I still feel horrible about it ussr-cry

      I got banned from blackwolffeed for reporting people who were being concern troll transphobic in comments. About an episode where the hosts were mocking assholes like them too!

      Not that I blame everyone in the subreddit. Lot of decent commenters. But a mod who posts in stupidpol is a mod who posts in stupidpol.

      I dunno if these statistics are available, but it would be really neat to see a ranking along like account age and modlog presence weighted by activity. Maybe on a scale of “tightrope over thin ice” to “Mao’s lil angels”.
