The Underscores and The Bank of Discord | Slick Shot · 2:01am Jul 20th, 2020
For those who saw screenshots and were told slander out of context. The boys and I were acting like a Red Dead Gang shooting blue named users in the server. We said verbatim 'We're robbing a bank and not you. So long as you do not say anything as we clear the vault—none will be harmed.' This was a joke to see who would say anything to a ping telling them specifically NOT to talk. We'd post Red Dead characters aiming a gun then firing it after someone who had been @'d talked. Most rejoined after the fact.
People may be confused about the nazi references. This was because we were mocking nazis at the time. Ask for clarification instead of making an assumption.
Now back to our regularly scheduled inactivity (I'll release something soon I promise).
Your (currently) distant friend,
PS. I think both sides are retarded stop attributing sides to me or making assumptions on my stance tyvm <3.
There's an organized campaign of that going around. Anyone who isn't sufficiently "ban the Nazis" is getting cropped screenshots posted out-of-context, reported to mods, etc.
Too late, you're getting canceled. Nothing personal.
Where can I join this chaotic discord server?
Dropped my Patreon support. Nazis murdered my grandfather, they are not a joke. And false equivalency about "both sides are equally bad, I'm not taking sides, there are some very fine people on both sides" just shows your failure to understand the people who are suffering right now.
If you don't want people to make assumptions about your position, you could put "Black Lives Matter" in your tagline, for example.
Honestly... I've gotten to the point where I clear the notifications and then go back to whatever other server I was bullshitting on. I'm used to these shenanigans from y'all

Cringe and unfunny
I'm gonna post you on reddit

Me:
I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. That's a terrible thing to go through.
I'm also sorry about your total lack of reading comprehension. I say I don't want to make a public stance, you tell me that by not doing so I'm abetting horrible worldviews or allowing them to perpetuate or whatever the fuck your half-baked 'the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing' argument stems from.
Go take a look at what happened if you're so interested. I, and others, called out BOTH sides of this debate as being ridiculous, because guess what? There are more fucking important things going on in the world than a massive, ultimately inconsequential flame war occurring on FimFiction centred around a nazi porn story and I was tired of hearing about it. I don't wish to make my stance public because I don't wish to get sucked into probably one of the most petty things I've seen on this site since joining. But now you've made me open my mouth. Thanks for that!
Thank you for doing precisely what I asked you not to and making an assumption about me without context or reliable information to go on, then blaming me for not providing it in the first place, when I specifically said that I didn't wish to, as I did not want to take a public stance in what is honestly a pointless argument.
Thank you for your continued support up until now, also.
Now kindly fuck off.

there's a link top-right on my front page, the second one. Be careful, future blue name.

But you did provide plenty of context, and I got tired of seeing you continue to post about the "flame war". You didn't need to make either this blog post or the preceding one, but you did make those posts, and thus made your position clear. If you really didn't want to "take a public stance" or "get drawn into a pointless argument", you could have just NOT POSTED ABOUT IT. And if your last words are to tell me to "fuck off", I don't regret dropping my support.
5316046
Where's your support though bro? You a racist, hmm?
5316046
Okay. What is my stance? You apparently know, so tell me. Source your argument please. No baseless accusations, thank you.
I'm excited to hear what my own opinion on all of this is.
5316055
I agree that there are more important things going on in the world than a tempest in a teacup (teacup! teacup! more teacups!) about the MLP fandom, and that the media reporting on Nazi imagery both serious and "ironic" is overblown. There's no more of this in the MLP fandom than any other fandom. My concern is that you treat this all like a big joke. As I said before, it's not a joke to people who have been personally affected. And if you don't get that, the least you could do is just not keep talking about it. I'm sick of it too, and You're. Not. Helping.
5315933
I was being satirical, but apparently I was prophetic, because 5315980 this guy went balls-deep on it holy shit.
5316073
Someone get this fascist hot-head out of here.
5316052
Whoosh!
I don't make inflammatory blog posts on Fimfiction. My post of Twilight holding a BLM sign is elsewhere.

Thanks for the advice, I've already unfollowed AIDs so I won't be listening in future.
And thanks for the projection also. I spent more than a decade as a board member of EFA fighting for free speech rights including testifying before the Senate on more than one occasion. You can all say what you like, but that doesn't give you a pass on the consequences.
5316079
U mad bro?
5316087
I'd say pot calling the kettle black, but I might get called a racist in this era of snowflakery
5316079
You using that with permission? Call him a fascist but don't be an art thief. He clearly spent a lot time in... General Zoe's(?) character creator making that.
In all seriousness, don't do shit like that with peoples OC's without permission.
Can we all just stop being assholes? Attack the position not the people, it's the bare minimum for a CIVILIZED discussion.
5316087
You're welcome, I'm glad you're changing your stance on censoring those you don't like. That shows a lot of character growth. This was a good arc.
5316116
I've never supported censoring. I did not call for AIDs to be reported or blocked or moderated. He can post what he likes, but I don't have to listen to it. And that's why I unfollowed and dropped Patreon support. See how that works? You can't force me to give money to someone who tells me to "fuck off". Here endeth your lesson on the definition of censorship.
5316124
Here endeth yours. Thou art a cur and thy father smelt of elderberries and thy mother was a tavern wench loose with her skirts!
5316106
Thanks. I'm genuinely heartened that at least one person here has heard of Wheaton's Law.
5316129
If you can't tell the difference between censorship and telling someone you didn't like their posts, you're not really going to be able to participate in any meaningful discussion. Snowflake.
PS Thanks for the Pythonic insults, at least that shows good taste.

You: i.imgflip.com/48t1s3.jpg
Also:
Is there actually a statistic on this you can post? Or purely anecdotal and assumption-based like everything else you've said up until now? Have most fandoms had a serious upheaval online on multiple sites involving Twitter correspondence and resulting in articles being generated? Have most fandoms had to change site rules in order to combat a continuation of said things? Are most fandoms a fraction of the size of this one?
And as an aside (which I'd prefer you didn't latch onto at the total disregard of everything else I've said), do you make a living here? I do. My concerns about the site and its activity directly reflect my ability to work. You can log in and out whenever you like, but for me this is as much a workspace as it is a reading-hub or social network.
You:
You've been personally affected by the arguments regarding nazism and offensive imagery in pertinence to this site specifically? I'm really sorry, that must've been hard for you as a reader. My heart goes out.
You:
You didn't need to make either your last comment or the preceding one, but you did make them, You also didn't need to make even a single assumption in the process, but you made several. Feel free to tell me that you felt it was justified in being reactionary, that you needed to say something due to the egregious nature of my posts... why do you think I made them?
You when asked to tell me what my stance is:
I ask you to tell me what my stance is and give some form of reference as to how you came to that conclusion and what you do instead is... assume my position with literally ZERO reasoning behind your conclusion, and then tell me that you agree with it!
So if I don't understand that other people are offended by the things that are currently being propagated then I should stop talking about it because I have no right to and you have a right? Under what pretence? What if I'm offended? Am I not allowed to speak? Am I not allowed to have an opinion? Am I not allowed to say what I think and feel, even if my method of doing so differs from every other bleeding heart having a literal aneurysm on every social media platform known to man? Are you on their blogs and posts condemning them too? How does that differentiate you from me, or anyone else? Fuck, what if I'm Jewish? I'm not, but what if I was? What if I'd lost a relative in that horrible war? How the fuck would you know? You wouldn't. Just as you don't know my thoughts and feelings considering the state of the world, as you've so clearly illustrated on repeat.
So in summation: you've approached me to publically complain and make a spectacle of doing so and in doing so also made a public condemnation against me for making a public spectacle out of bigots and white knight, keyboard warriors. You've then continued on to assume my opinions without thought or reason, all in the hopes of morally justifying your anger and projecting it onto me because I'm simply the most recent person you've seen post something regarding the argument you're so fed up with.
People like you are just as bad as the rest of them going at it. You just wanna complain at someone. You just wanna be offended, over whatever you can get away with taking the so-called moral high ground on! And you're completely fine with employing every ounce of your imagination to do so, whether that means misrepresenting me or being a complete hypocrite as you go, contradicting yourself as you do so! And that's fine, because it's funny! And I'm tired of pretending it's not.
PS. I thought Joker was a meh film at best it just fits here. I've spent more than enough time on you tonight, if you respond I'm not replying, just a heads up. Consider this a free commission if you like. Updates never.
Double-edged sword there. If you don't provide context, people will assume you are for something AND against something. It is up to the creator to solidify their position or intentionally leave it up to interpretation.
5316140
We seem to be talking at complete cross purposes. You've clearly failed to understand what I'm saying, and I've probably also misunderstood you. I'm sorry about that.
"There's no more of this in the MLP fandom than any other fandom." - I meant mock and real Nazism, not the ongoing turmoil. And as a furry, let me assure you we've had just as much drama: look into the Burned Furs some day.
Likewise, I was referring to people (including me) who have been personally affected by actual Nazis, not by the discussion that is threatening your income. Again, clearly we're not communicating. Sorry you wasted your valuable writing time on responding to what you apparently thought I was saying.
Just to make it crystal clear, I don't know whether you are Jewish or lost any family members, and I never claimed to. But as I said earlier: my grandfather was murdered for being a Jew, and I just can't find that funny.
5316148
Agreed. Precisely the reason this blog now exists.
Oh fuck is THAT what was happening? I didn’t see a ping, or I just jumped to the channel to clear it cause the notification annoys me and then jumped back to War Thunder... I was so fucking confused
5316151
Shit or get off the pot, man. For a writer, you're doing a pretty bad job of communicating. Rather than banging on about "white knights", you could post about something positive you personally have done. Nope, it's all just "don't pick on me! You don't know me!" Whose fault is that?You know what, I'm not making things any better here. I'm not angry, but I seem to have made AIDs angry and I apologise. I probably should have just unfollowed without posting here, and I'll try to let it go and not aggravate anyone further.
5316167
See, what did I tell you? Character growth!
5316172
Christ, this comment section is something special...
5316213
Filled with very special special people
5315980
Lmao BLM does nothing for black's except make their lives harder.
5316618

Ah yes, finally some good wholesome fun.
