On any of the donation threads where it came up and he replied to it, the most he ever did was some half hearted corporate PR "apology" (ironic)
How can you call "the transgender topic" at all "controversial"? You either support and protect minorities or you don't.
Also, my man db0 is just the goat.
How can you call “the transgender topic” at all “controversial”?
🤯
What universe are you living in where everyone agrees and has the same opinions about transgender people? It's more or less the definition of a controversial topic.
My rights are not a controversy. You're just a bigot.
Technically, they are controversial. There are people who support your right to live and there are people who dont support it
If half of humans thought water was dangerous, drinking water would be a controversial topic
they are not bigot, they just dont live in an echo chamber.
whether you like it or not, there's lots people not thinking like you. I'm not one of them, just to clarify before I suddenly become a bigot, but people like that do exist, in masses
If you "have an opinion about transgender people" that involves taking away their rights, or putting them in harms way and that prioritises the needs of everyone else first, and the needs of trans people last, if at all, then you have a bigoted opinion.
I love how if it's controversial is now a controversial topic.
-sigh- It isn't about IF it's controversial, but WHY it is seen that way. Conservatism requires a minority to use as a boogeyman that needs defeated. They use this manufactured scare as a way to get votes and power.
It has been the tactic ever since Feudalism fell as a way to get back the power they held back then.
I'm ignoring your previous statements to reach out in good faith and hope for the best. Don't give in to the propaganda that trans people are more likely to commit crimes than the greater population. Instead, they are more likely to be the victims, and the laws passed to hurt them end up hurting cis people as well.
Weather the whole concept causes controversy vs if trans identity is valid are two separate things.
At one point (before scrambling my instance so lost to this account) I made it a point to create a thread on a LGBT comm just to try and get some insight from people who actually lived it since I'm pretty far off from it and it was pretty enlightening. There are still some things I don't really understand and don't expect I will without direct experience.
In the end though it doesn't cost anything for people to just treat the trans community as regular humans who in no way are hurting you. To that end the notion of if trans ID is valid shouldn't be seen as controversial outside of by those refusing to allow someone else to live their life as they want to.
I mean, it is absolutely controversial. Whether or not it should be controversial is what you seem to be referring to. I 100% agree that it shouldn’t be controversial, because human rights should never be controversial. But as it currently stands, it is an extremely divisive topic with strong opinions in both directions; claiming otherwise is outright disingenuous.
"Do you also perform this kind of background check for every product you buy in the supermarket?"
Uh. Yeah. We do. That's why we're constantly coming on here telling people what companies to boycott. Do you not follow your own movements?
What a weird way to "defend" himself. Of course everyone scrutinizes what they buy in the store and what that company does with their money. People boycott products all across the political spectrum.
He's deeply into the "grasping at straws" stage of this.
Yeah, did he really think people won't? It's pretty damn shitty to also demand free pass just because they're making stuff that's being distributed for free. What's funnier is that he also think people wouldn't go back to reddit or migrate to piefed or other reddit-like fediverse project. This two guys have the ego of trump.
Do you do this for every product in the supermarket
Bro where you been? Nestle is the classic example, tesla is a newer one, proton too, chic fil a, etc.
Yeah. People do also boycott stuff. What the fuck does he mean lmao.
db0 trying not to be based challenge:
Impossible.
I mean they still left the begging thread up with the "separate the art from the artist" message, and let Nutomic intentionally mislead users about "developer salaries" not going to support .ml. If they really wanted to be based they would have banned Nutomic for being a greedy little pig boy and told people to donate to Piefed.
@[email protected] appreciation
Probably the best admin on this entire platform, but I am biased as I am under their instance.
This is really shitty but it doesn't surprise me at all. He's trying to make a shift because he doesn't want to face repercussions of being labeled transphobic, possibly being widely banned and ostracized.
It's very different when someone actually realizes they were wrong and want to change and be better. Nutomic isn't doing that here, he just wants people to give donations and to avoid fallout from him letting his opinions slip publicly.
Bro is literally panicking that he might have to get a real job.
this piece of shit will never get any money from me

Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
