You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

gender affirming hater
"Trans ffffeeeemmmmaaaalllees are ffffeeeemmmmaaaalllees."
Hate someone for being a bad actor or a bad person but don't attack based on gender identity. That isn't attacking them, it's marginalizing many many innocent people, and it makes them a victim.
They're already casting for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey? I didn't even know they'd done Christopher Nolan's The Iliad yet!
We already have a film adaptation of The Odyssey. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
Well I am death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell
This is progress!
They might be a hater, but they're not a bigot. Respect lol
Reminds me of that post about two lesbians kissing on a subway in NY and this dude says, 'Man can't yall keep that nasty shit at home?"
And when we sees people are staring at him, he goes, "OH no I'm not homophobic, I'm just a hater."
I feel like he is getting a bad rap here. I mean, he had a gender change to convincingly play female characters in Juno, Inception, and Hard Candy, among others.
Talk about a method actor, let's see Christain Bale do that...
Basically me. I cannot stand Elliots acting personally but like I like/dislike a lot of stuff no one else does so whatever. Always disliked him since the Juno days. But I dislike HIM.
TERF haters are dumb as fuck. What's the point of hating someone if you're hating something you made up about them? Congratulations, you're deluded. Might as well hate Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind because it had a cameo from Jeffrey Epstein, you lobotomized twatwaffle.
it had a cameo from Jeffrey Epstein
Wait what?
What's the point of hating [...] if you're hating something you made up [...] ?
Might as well hate Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind because it had a cameo from Jeffrey Epstein
My text wasn't super clear but I was saying that people who make shit up about things and then hate it for that reason are silly. I then made up a ridiculous thing about a great movie. A movie I refuse to ever watch again but still.
Oh, I thought you meant the movie actually had an Epstein cameo and I somehow never noticed lol

I'm here for more inclusive hate
What we need to do is to invent a new racial group. Let's invent a new ethnic/racial group from whole cloth, one that no living human could be mistaken for. Then, we spread all sorts of viscous propaganda against that made-up group. We'll get everyone to project all their insecurities and racism onto this one group that doesn't actually exist. We'll create deepfakes of them committing crimes. We'll have politicians lie about them invading the country and stealing resources. We'll declare them a secret hidden menace against the whole civilized world. We can all just hate on the imaginary people, and no real people need suffer from racism.
We'll solve racism....with racism! /s
Back in the 90s, the joke was, "I'm an equal opportunity hater, I hate everyone!'
Sorry, you're not included.
I hope you have a great super fun day.
Now I'm offended, guess I asked for it though

I didn't like his book, either. He comes off as weird, like red flags weird. If you want a gripping memoir by a trans person, I suggest README.TXT by Chelsea Manning, great book.
Care to share some of those flags with us?
Idc who you are getting ab implants id weird and gross
Body dysmorphia comes in many forms.
What people do to their own body is none of my business.

The casting for this movie is a disaster in general. Zendaya can't act for shit unless she's playing a deeply sarcastic character who rolls their eyes every 40 seconds. She was astonishingly bad in Dune.
I now am a believer in the many worlds hypothesis. Clearly we have seen very different movies.
I loved her in Dune. She made the character very believable.
She's the only character I completely disliked the casting for. She is supposed to be strong, threatening, and brilliant. In the first movie she sort of is, but she is a wimpy gossip in the second movie. If I remember correctly Paul is afraid of her through the first book (2 movies), that barely translated into the movies.

After seeing them in the umbrella academy...while I don't think they're the worst actor ever, he definitely could do with some more lessons
I have to agree here. He's like a less charismatic Keanu Reeves. There's no nostalgia there either for great movies of the past. Just terrible.
oh weird, I'm somewhat opposite -- not a fan of the person themselves and the fame circle surrounding them, but I think they're a decent actor with a good sense of subtlety and pathos.
Same with Tom Cruise. Could not give a shit about the person IRL, but very good actor.
Shit I find Tom Cruise to be an abhorrent person, but I do love me some Mission Impossible.
