So... What happened? · 12:18am Apr 23rd, 2021
Now, you may all be wondering what led to my 24 hour ban in the first place. My previous blog was relatively short that basically can be summed up the following.
Derek Chauvin was presented as a sacrifice to the altar of social justice and ate 3 guilty verdicts, I earned myself $500 for siding with all 3 verdicts, and I expected riots from both sides of the political spectrum to ensue.
So what's the problem here? I admitted I bent my knee to people who wanted revenge for George Floyd and profited from it, so I'm unsure to why certain left-leaning people got upset at me and tried to call me inhuman and evil when I literally sided with them. That makes you think doesn't it? Really makes you think, hard.
Now on to the important point; Let's find out from the admin what the actual problem was shall we?
Admin: Please do not continue to post any more politically orientated blog posts. I feel like I was very fair in giving you a chance last before but it's not evident that you are intent on being more constructive with what you post. You are banned for just 24 hours but I am asking you even after that to no longer post blog posts that are intended to fan flames if you are not intent on being constructive with them. This is not an action based on opinion but upon the way it is expressed.
That was the initial response I was given and after probing a bit further I got this.
Admin: it was lacking in substance that would do anything more the provoke flame wars which you know have been an issue in your blogs before, especially with you claiming you bet on the trial
And finally.
Admin: That argument would warrant merit if you started off the discussion with more substance than what you posted
talking about betting, and eating popcorn watching riots
these aren't things that scream "I want a productive discussion" to me
they seem like things you'd say in casual to a group of friends, not your thousands of followers on a public website where there's a wide range of opinions aroundMe: I guess where that's we differ in opinions. I prefer to be honest with my thoughts.
Admin: you can be honest without being tactless
So to sum it up, I got banned for being tactless and presenting a poorly constructed blog that, in their opinion, was used as nothing more to start a flame war.
Dwelling on what happened for a bit, I realized the admin was mostly right with his decision. If you look back to 2020 in late June and most of July, I was blogging almost everyday about politic based stuff. The difference between then and now was as simple as looking back and realizing I was more constructive with my blogs, so i'm not going to fault the admins for their decision.
Though, one point I want to address.
they seem like things you'd say in casual to a group of friends, not your thousands of followers on a public website where there's a wide range of opinions around
That bit hurt a more than one would think. Apparently I'm not allowed to talk casually to over 3,600 people like they are my friends. I've respected people with different opinions, and i've only blocked 7 of the most extreme people on this site (mainly for personal attacks and the occasional death threat), so this one is particular sentence is going to leave a bad taste in my mouth for quite awhile.
From this quote, I think we can assume the admin’s circle of friends all have the same narrow range of political opinions. Good to know.
Derek Chauvin and George Floyd is so yesterday... the new flag is Ma'Khia Bryant...
have to say USA keeps the rest of the world entertained, is both cases horrible? yes but at least in the George Floyd case you had a simple fact in front of you, the knee... now I watch the news that compares Ma'Khia death to his, was she young? yeah, is it a bad outcome? yes, but you can't compare one to another, you know... the knife thing, the small detail people forget
as to the problem at point, I think most admins and the community is a bit on the defensive after the FedEx shooter was identified as a brony with AJ crush.
the fact that banned you and deleted the blog for something they felt should only be off site, but don't apply that standard to a certain other blog just infuriates me.
it's saying blogs attacking others doesn't 'fan the flames' even though the one getting attacked is getting labeled in the comment sections for things the site already allows.
Never forget this site currently has a user who pressured a 12 year old girl for sexual videos on here (among a lot of other stuff). He's never been banned, despite me PMing Knighty over 3 weeks ago about this.
But, of course, what you did was far worse...
I mean, that blog devolved into people insulting each other in like 10 posts. So I see were the admins are coming from.
5504428
And? It's the internet, insults abound because idiots think their anonymity is going to save them.
5504428
im pretty sure you can point to any number of stories and blogs having any kind of controversial or hot topic on here where the comment section is filled with or contains insults or bickering. the point is, do the authors deserve to have their stories and blogs deleted and served a ban for posting? if you're arguing they were posted to incite it, where does it end? only happening to titty and stories with aryanne? who gets to decide it? knighty? what makes him qualified to decide? it his website and he doesn't have to provide a platform? the site is made to give people platforms. it wouldn't give users the ability to post stories and blogs if it that wasn't true.
5504428
If they wanted to stop the insults they could have just removed the blog.
To be honest, I don't think one should talk to their followers as if they were friends. I'm not saying to talk to them as someone beneath you, but I kind of see a difference between talking to a friend and talking to a follower. One could use their blogs to keep in contact with their followers like it's for and talk about their own personal life, but there is still a slight barrier between the user and followers. I personally never thought less of my followers and I respect each and every one of them, but only very few I've actually connected to and become friends with. These are people that I regularly do things with, talk with, and actually get to know on a more personal level other than just a blog or Discord talk.
I've mainly just watched a lot of your blogs from the side because it's just not my personal cup of tea to interact with. Some of these blogs spark other blogs for people to make, and with others thankfully linking them in other places, I've gotten a chance to look at them. Lots of things have been said, both hilarious and really dumb for the individuals. I still face palm at any person who tries to call a writer a pedo for writing foalcon, and it's these sort of opinions that I draw a line at between follower and friend. At the end, a friend won't lose it for something you say or do unless it's something that drastically affects them. A follower will either agree just to agree with you said, provide facts to talk about, or completely 180 their view on you and just completely spout shit out their ass.
I respect you, Titty, and hopefully this comes off as respectful as well. You do offer interesting views from your side when talking about this and so do others when it's an actual conversation. Although, I do kind of agree that your last blog was a bit more tactless than most others that you post. Earlier ones you posted held structure and value to what you wanted to talk about, but that last one was just more of "x happened and y was received" and that was it. I was kind of expecting something more when I had saw that blog, and it felt like people were just left hanging after it.
Even then, it's great to have you back, and I look forward to any stories and future blogs that you may post.
Honeslty I somewhat side with the admins on this if thats what you posted as "bending the knee" in this matter means you believe he did nothing wrong, and while I admit a murder charge is a bit far as murder implies he meant to kill him when I dont believe he did, he still did something that requires him to face charges.
By saying he is a sacrificial lamb also implies you don't agree he did wrong and should be punished.
Its basically language to try and find a loop hole in a take and pretend you did nothing wrong and if its in the style of a lot of your most recent blogs I very much see where they are coming from.
Your recent blogs I've read come off heavily as "oh boy this is going to piss off people hehehe" as opposed to how you used to where it felt like "this is my opinion and here's why" which showed actual thought and time spent.
Most recent one I read that is seeming not in the opinion style was posting an article about Biden that rather blatantly cherry picked quote and took other parts of quotes out of context to do all it could to make it sound like he said something he did which was extremely disingenuous qnd took 10 seconds to find they were doing this which comes off as just trying to push narratives and piss people off.
You also used to be somewhat active in your comments but recently I never see you say anything which comes off even more as just trying to make people mad so you can sit back and be entertained like a troll rather then making an opinion.
I used to enjoy your blogs as od agree with some, disagree with other but challenged my own views but recently theu just sound like troll blogs meant to cause flame wars like the Admin said.
Even what you said the deleted one said sounds like you are just trying to rile up people by really not trying to hide you disagree with what happened entirely.
It just comes off as very troll like and I hope to see a truth to how you used to do blogs where it was well constructed opinions and argument stories why you hold the views.
Anyways thats my thoughts on the matter.
Like, have they been paying any attention to the stuff you’ve been talking about the past couple of months?

A bit weird you think that I think that Chauvin did nothing wrong. I never once took the defense of Chauvin at all during the last year and even took stances in my discord where I said Chauvin was getting guilted no matter what.
Here's an example of how I viewed the incident. If Floyd has jumped off a skyscraper and Chauvin had shot him dead just before he hit the ground, Chauvin would get charged with murder. Floyd had fatal levels of fentanyl in his system and was doomed to die that day regardless. I know Chauvin fucked up and accelerated Floyd's death.
Excuse you? Do you think I'm that retarded? Sacrificial lambs can be guilty as well. Where did I ever imply that sacrificial lambs can't be guilty? Holy fuck, you really need to engage in proper conversations before you make stupid implications like that ever again.
Yeah, but look on the bright side! You learned this extremely obvious lesson by posting something racist on fimfiction, while most people learn it by posting something racist on Twitter and then getting fired from their jobs.
It's like, if you're going to have to put your hand on the stove to learn that the stove is hot, better that you just get first-degree burns instead of third-degree burns.
Yep, Totally Not Biased™ staff at work. Seems to be all the rage.
Overall this makes sense even if it's weird that it's an unstated rule. This is why I comment on like every fifth of your blog posts tbh. A majority of them lack substance to the issue at hoof and are more of a meta commentary to the effect of "people are too upset about this and not enough about that". I don't bother trying to argue with those type of sentiments.
5504480
>posting about Derek Chauvin and agreeing he is guilty makes me racist.
Oh wait, you ain't even reading the actual blog. Go sip your kool aid and scream about racism on a blog that's relevant to it, and make sure to call all your fellow kool aid drinkers to come and upvote your post because your wounded ego can't handle all the downvotes you get!
I'm not surprised that the admins here banned you like they did. I'm sorry that it happened. But you must understand, they do not like politics, nobody really does. Hell, I'm not too much a fan of it as I believe it's often used as a tool to manipulate and change people. I wouldn't be deigned to want to be one of the Suit and Ties of America. To lower myself to their degree? As if. Although, I do wonder when that old codger would kick the bucket soon. I can't imagine that being too much longer.
But then again, weigh your pros and cons for a moment. Would you rather have a man who has the collective mental capacity of a goldfish, or a psychopathic would-be dictator in the making? I sometimes wonder about these things. And before I'm given the hypocrite card, as I'm sure some might be tempted to do so, I just wonder about things, plain and simple. I'm an inquisitive mind, nothing more, nothing less.
5504475
Ya this is a bit dishonest.
Saying someone is a sacrificial lamb clearly implies they're innocent even if you don't say their innocent.
Floyd was absolutely not fated to die that day from fent

That begs the question: if you judge that someone is about to die from an overdose, can you cut their head off? How do you, in the moment, make that call? What about drawing and quartering, still fine? Can you drop a large rock on them?
What if we'd called an ambulance, and he'd died while people tried to save his life instead of dying after an officer knelt on his neck for nine minutes? To clarify, none of this is meant in anger, I'm saying it could have been done very differently, and then not incited riots. Because it wouldn't have been a story. Black man overdoses, and dies while people try to save him doesn't incite anger.
5504459
Even if that were the case, are you saying users should be required to agree with the courts or law in order to speak about them?
And the bit about her being inactive in the comments is just patently false.
5504486
So in that case literally if George would’ve died from drugs that means that it’s more likely for Derek to be guilty and more likely he did it on purpose (cuz he could’ve let die from drugs instead of the neck on the knee)
If George would not have died and the drug thing is out the window then that could confirm still more than likely Derek did it on purpose since there’s no way you could accidentally fall and land a knee on someone’s neck.
So Derek would’ve been guilty either way
5504480
Well, the term "Racism" has been thoroughly sodomized and expanded to the point of being anything between general mistreatment towards a particular race, to just looking at them funny. Even if it were a simple misunderstanding that a civilized conversation could easily fix, we'd much rather automatically assume that the person looking at you funny is a racist when that's not necessarily true. That's like judging somebody solely based on their choice of attire. It's stupid.
5504487
Except the "why didn't the police save him with ( forgot the med they use for od which they dont have on hand) they litteraly killed him" group or the ones that just riot to steal not saying he was completely innocent, but 2 questions:
1 what definitively killed floyd
And 2 how can someone unintentionally and intentionally kill someone simultaneously.
Manslaughter is unintended.
Murder is intended.
5504503
I'd say looking at people funny or general mistreatment are degrees of racism. Not all racism needs to be slurs and flaming crosses.
5504486
2 words speed ball (meth+fentanyl)
5504509
General mistreatment: sure. we could sometimes be safe to assume maybe.
Looking at people funny: not always a guarantee in fact looking at someone funny could be for a non racist reason so we can’t rely much on that.
5504509
Allow me to elaborate. What if they were wearing a funny hair-do, or just had a funny shirt on- something you're not used to seeing every day, does staring at them and what they're wearing automatically make you a racist? Do not pass go, do not collect two-hundred dollars. Well, not everything is all black and white, pun not intended.
A good example would be myself, actually. I am best friends with a black family for over fourteen years now. And people have called me a racist before without even making an attempt to talk to me. They just wanted to make trouble for somebody, that's all. If that is considered racism, then I'm a fucking monkey's uncle. Unbelievable that this is the world we live in.
So "productive discussion" is the new arbitrary requirement for people to express opinions. Let's see if it's applied evenly across the board:
Political blog attacking TS: Still up.
This is apparently productive discussion.
Political blog directing users to "counterattack" others: Still up.
Calling for brigading is apparently productive discussion.
Political blog calling users criminals: Still up.
Apparently telling users to call the police on other users rather than using the report button is productive discussion.
Political blog calling everything fascism: Still up.
Apparently shouting "fascist" or a variation of it becomes productive discussion if you follow the magic of three's.
Political blog calling to remove groups of users: Still up.
Apparently telling people to donate or else they're Nazis is productive discussion.
I could keep going with this. Everyone on this site could. There's no shortage of people with political opinions making political blogs, but now the arbitrary and subjective "productive discussion" has been laid down so that moderators with an agenda can censor WrongThink as they like. I'm sure this post itself will be the subject of blogs screaming frothing hatred and bigotry at me with productive discussion limited to how many puppies I kick every day. That's the burden of the minority of people trying to speak truth to power here, and the admins can confirm I have been a victim of targeted hate and harassment. But hey, I'd love to be proven wrong by action, not empty words, and what I'd love most is for none of it to be censored.

Makes a stronger point
Can’t rely at all on it
5504513 5504516
I'd say it's more that people don't intend racism than it's definitively not racist. Racism can be a passive and somewhat innocuous thing, it's not always mean-spirited.
5504524
Look some points you make are kinda weak not gonna lie.
You can’t always be 100 percent assume that based on stereotype like “looking at me funny is racist”
5504524
Well, misunderstandings happen... a lot. Unless you absolutely know for sure that somebody is a racist by guaranteed gestures and action, maybe it's not the best idea to just jump to conclusions and accuse them of something that you don't even know is the truth or not and without any real hard evidence to support your claim about them. That's like the people that get falsely convicted of rape which can and will ruin a man's life. No evidence, no fair trial, just throw the book at the hapless sucker and be done with it, right? Yes, because nothing bad has ever happened with that idea, I'm sure.
5504480
When did she post anything Racist on here you boosted monkey?
5504528
Have I at any point asserted that anything is 100%? I simply pointed out that something that is seemingly innocent is not necessarily without a racist bias. Racism comes in so many flavors. Some of them are quite palatable. The word is charged to always be a negative, but it's not. The skin, the attire, these are part of the book's cover by which we judge the content, for good or ill.
5504519
See this entire fiasco has just reinforced what Discord has taught me and that's that mods are gay
5504480
So not only did you not read the original blog or this one, you came on here to accuse others of racism. Frankly, you couldn't DEFINE racism if you tried. You are just a virtue signaling jackanape. So kindly piss off from the fandom, no one wants you here.
5504530
That assumes that all racism is inherently a crime. It's not. There is no rape that isn't a crime, but many varieties of racism are perfectly legal.
5504524
If its passive then it is a normal thing that ALL people do. Thus trying to police it is akin to controlling thought and speech. At least if we go by your logic at least.
Here's a better stance. Policing speech that you don't like inevitably leads to you yourself being on the reviving end for things YOU would find innocuous. The solution is to let all words be heard and let only the best rise though people's personal decisions. Unless you are going to say that people are too stupid to make their own decisions. If so, well I think then maybe YOU are too stupid to make your own decisions and should shut up.
5504533
5504539
But the thing is is that racism is an entire negative subject in anyones mind that is controversial to everyone if not anyone. Just because theres legal racism doesn't mean it's guaranteed to not cause backlash or major incidents
5504539
People don't understand that the first amendment doesn't care about your feelings. I could walk up to a white man and call him every racial slur for white people I know. He can then do the same to me for black people, if he hits me or i hit him we might get assault charges and the racial slurs might be taken into account at our trials but other wise they don't matter.
people need to stop giving others power over them just because of simple words.
5504528
All I can see is that everything is being taken completely out of proportion. There's no need to jump to conclusions which more often than not ends up ruining someone else's life. It sadly happens more often than you think. Not just with racism, but everything in general. We should be better than this, but we live in the year 2021, we don't have time for rational solutions.
5504539
Racism is racism, rape is rape, plain and simple. That's like trying to compare both ignorance and stupidity. Two completely different words that have two completely different meanings.
5504544
I agree
By the way, we still don't actually know who made the decision to start pushing this agenda. Was this a moderator, the other admin Xaquseg (who hasn't been online on the site since April 13th), or Knighty? Given that of the two admins one hasn't been online in nine days, it sticks out to me that this person isn't referred to specifically.
5504542
That would be because while it's not illegal, racism is still kinda shitty. When people are shitty to other people, people are shitty to them. The golden rule is a good one.
5504543
I never mentioned the first amendment at all.
5504541
You seem to be arguing something I'm not? I never said anything about policing speech. Did you mean to reply to someone else?
5504552
What if someone is racist to all races equally?
5504545
Not really. Walking across the street when you see a group of teenagers is not a crime, but could be racism, and still is not a crime.
There is no rape that is not a crime.
5504554
Then you're kind of an asshole?
5504557
I will not have this besmirchment of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman's memory.
