FA bans you if you don't "support BLM".
5 years ago
The footer is the truth.
This is quite interesting, there's new policies on FA that will punish anyone who doesn't show support for BLM. I presume that means you'll be banned if you say or do anything that offends anyone who flies the BLM flag. For example, if I mock people who go out there and burn down buildings in the name of BLM by calling them hypocrites or wrongdoers. Perhaps if I say all lives matter, I'll be banned because I'm somehow belittling their movement.
Whats next? Will we get banned for the phrase "sexual preference" which is now considered offensive?
Perhaps we'll be banned for journals like this, because free speech is now forbidden? Lets find out. I'll screenshot this journal, after every reply I see, and keep a record of it on imgur. Just in case.

FA+

That's simply cuz in principle you will criticize something as simple as "black lives matter" and every "criticism" I see goes to a tangent like "all lives matter" which is a racist statement.
If you want to criticize the "bad actors" that cause trouble within the ideology then you have to decouple the two, because, yes, in the end you can not argue in good faith against simple things like human rights.
Ultimately is a very risky conversation in itself and you ain't convincing someone that has harmful intent in doing otherwise in the internet.
I called certain news outlets left biased and providing low quality information, and people claimed I was just racist against blacks because all those news outlets portrayed was blacks only and cops being evil.
FA's rules aren't only on the BLM movement. Its now a bannable offense to accidentally misgender someone. I once laughed at a youtube video of a hypersensitive manly trans who sounded manly, looked like a man, wore gender neutral colors, flipping the fuck out and destroying store property simply because the guy at the desk said "You guys" (not referring to gender in the first place) and then accidentally saying "sir" after when trying to calm the trans down who was having a manly adrenaline anger fit. I got labeled transphobe because I laughed at a moron flipping out over nothing. I wasn't laughing at a trans, I was laughing at a moron who needs a lot of psychological therapy. I have several trans friends, and the few I've kept around are great decent people. Yet I got labeled transphobe because I offended someone once and got insta-perma-banned and they spread rumors about me to everyone there and blah blah.
FA is becoming the same thing. They'll wait till you offend someone somewhere on the site, then issue a suspension or a ban against you. Free speech is dying.
P.S.
You stated in your second post, you claim "all lives matter", is racist; therefor you're as leftwing as the people who sit there trying to ban everyone from the internet for saying something they don't like. Whats racist about "all lives matter"?
Tell me, was it right for them to forbid a march for the white woman who was murdered saying all lives matter?
What about the fact that on the same day they allowed a BLM march in the same place?
Both had concerns about Coronavirus, but the white woman was ignored for the safety of people keeping Corona down but BLM was allowed because only black lives are worth the risk?
Look closer at whats going on. Don't sit there thinking that black people are shit on so badly that they are the only ones in the world who have problems. Its bullshit. Yes, they have been treated badly. Yes, there are racist police and bad actors out there who need to be held accountable. It doesn't make it right to treat everyone else like shit while they have their movement. It doesn't make it right to burn down buildings and throw explosives at police burning them alive inside their own vehicles. Honestly I think if anyone is holding a motov, they should be shot to death as a terrorist. Lit or not. White or not.
Theres a lot more going on than just black people being mistreated. The media is trying to blow the entire thing out of proportion. Certain anarchists are using the chaos to create more chaos unrelated to BLM too. Claiming to be BLM while they go burn things down to create anarchy. I had a trans friend who said she wants this, she wants people to die for her amusement. Because it'd be fun to watch civil war. Who knows how many anarchists are using BLM as a way to create chaos trying to spark a war. I know that in my area, police are great people, I don't see racism anywhere except in private when the christian neighbor bitches about black people all the time and I ignore her cause she's just an elderly christian idiot who is stuck in the old times but she doesn't show any sort of racism in public.
Anyway, I'm rambling at this point. The fact is, I feel that FA, is starting to become uber leftwing, and will ban all free speech. Thats what the leftists want, because anything offensive is evil and must be silenced. If we continue down this path... This will be our future.

Nuance of course is limited, I don't think you are racist but in their eyes you are and that's all that matters for them and in this website it is what it is.
You have to know that FA is hammered on twitter all the time if they fail to cather to them and every "incident"/callout makes them bleed users, you have to understand they get put in a very uncomfortable position and basically bullied into doing it.
Otherwise you should have said, their call for equality.
Your other URL is broken by the way.
I firmly believe that all lives should matter, and I'm not invalidating their struggle if I say that I agree that they need justice for whats happened but they need to look at the real issues behind it instead of only focusing on one small part. Of course, leftists, and racists (ironically), will cut out parts of what you say to reduce you to the worst possible light. I say "all lives matter because x", they cut that short and tell everyone you said "all lives matter and thus you invalidated their struggle!".
Bleed users my ass, what a load of bullshit. #InsertPopufurArtistNameHere# threatened to "leave this shithole" before, posted a ragequit journal and everything. Then came back when no one followed her ass. No one's leaving the center of all furry community. No matter how shit this site becomes.
That CHAZ zone was funny. I was hoping we could do it on a larger scale, just so I could laugh at how bad of an idea it was. Like, clear out an entire state, declare it an autonomous zone for 1 year. Anyone living there is subject to the rules they make up there and can not contest anything in court outside the zone. Anyone who resides there does not get taxes or government aid in any way shape or form, and is officially a non-citizen as long as they live there.
I predicted we'd see a high volume of murder and rape and other horrible things in such a place. Not as bad as what you'd see in a tiny 3 block area. I wonder, is that zone still open or did they finally shut it down as a huge failure? xD
