MODERATORS
I was in an argument with some .ml tankie yesterday, and they had the gall to say that "free speech that doesn't threaten the government is tolerated everywhere," in response to a comment saying that the CCP censors speech. They didn't like my assertion that that statement also applies to Nineteen Eighty-Four's Ingsoc party. It's technically true, that free speech that doesn't threaten the government is tolerated in Oceania. It's just that the government considers any dissent threatening.
My last straw was when I made a meme on their meme instance that had no Asians, anyone related to Asia, or racism in it. And they removed the post with 500+ up votes and a healthy discussion, because my title was "Rice."
They literally told me rice, the word by itself, is racist. I just chose a random word for the title to fill the blank.
You didn’t choose a random word. It’s obvious why you chose that specific word in reference to gaming hardware. And we know the racist roots of the term.
